#181 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin's Site » 935 weeks ago
oh, ok, so it hasn't surfaced yet...which means that i may still have a chance...
#182 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin's Site » 935 weeks ago
Surely you received the memo?
i wasn't online when it leaked....must have happened when i was frantically trying to help them locate that missing motorbike...
#183 Re: Guns N' Roses » Robin's Site » 935 weeks ago
Nothing wrong with contract players
everything is wrong with it if the "contractor" himself refuses to admit to that as a fact....instead letting his "employees" lash out at the fan base every now and again for stating the obvious....
we all know that they are contractors....they have hired them as contractors...but you will get your ass whipped if you refer to them as contractors anywhere else other than this board...
only time Axl refers to his guys as employees or contractors is when he's pissed with them and issues some or other rebuttal when they bail on him...bad HR management, i tell you....:laugh:
#184 Re: Guns N' Roses » SR's leak plausibility and potential timeframe (informed speculation) » 936 weeks ago
i don't quite see the point of this....we know for a fact that the song will hit mainstream in about a month from now....we also know for sure that it will be available for download on almost all forums instantly...
so what if it leaks a bit earlier?
who really gives a shit?
its going to come out anyway, a month here or there is really irrelevant...
the possibility of it leaking earlier is not gathering half as much interest as Better and TWAT did in 2006...probably because we know its coming....
so unless the "leaker" has some other tricks up his sleeve, like an additional song, or perhaps all of the instrumental parts from the song, to make it slightly more appealing, i really don't see the reason to get excited about this...other than the fact that we are now going to get a final track, and no longer a "demo"...so other than OMG, this will be the second track in 10 years which is to be considered finished...

cd for me too
#186 Re: Guns N' Roses » Hooker and Blow to tour in October » 938 weeks ago
Now thats how you promote a side project. Acknowledge GNR, but have your actual band's name in bigger text than GNR.
you are kidding, right?
there is
1.Dizzy Reed of Guns N' Roses on there....
2. then a rather large GNR logo on there....
3. then covering Guns N' Roses songs on there too....
to me it looks like they haven't really dropped the GNR theme entirely....
#187 Re: Guns N' Roses » Hooker and Blow to tour in October » 938 weeks ago
but it clearly shows that Axl doesn't have touring plans until November.
not necessarily.
it can easily show that Dizzy has no clue about the marketing drive and plans around the album, which wouldn't be something new, we've managed to figure that out over the years that the only person who knows anything about this album is Axl Rose himself, the one and only, and all the others don't know much more than we do about release plans....
This album can be released tomorrow, and there would be no need for a tour....fuck it, if they can still tour AFD 25 years after it was released, they can tour CD a few months after its release date....
The gap can easily be filled with some music videos, some interviews and media appearances, perhaps an impromptu unplugged session somewhere, and then launch a full blow world tour from the beginning of next year...
HnB doing some club gigs is hardly an indication of anything with regards to gnr....no disrespect to Dizzy and his fans, but he isn't a good guide from which to be sussing out GNR related movements and info....
#188 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dave Mustaine: "Buckethead is better than me and Slash combined" » 938 weeks ago
Slash was a genius in his time...he inspired a whole generation of wannabe guitarists and real professionals alike...times change, tastes and music changes too....comparing Buckethead to Slash is really unfair to both of those players....Slash does not set the world alight with his playing in the new millenium because we are so used to it....in the late eighties he was the shits....because there was no one like him...
bucket is the shits now because there is no one like him....Mustaine must have been referring to BH's speed and technical ability, because Bucket hasn't really proven himself as an epic player within a band environment, so we don't know what he'd be like if placed in a situation where Slash excelled...
who knows....maybe on this new album there is a true replacement to Jungle and Scom and PC....maybe we'll get a whole new "best guitar riff of all time" and maybe we won't....
Only time will tell...until then, those who bash either of the two players shouldn't be doing it, because they are the reason why we are here....
#189 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 939 weeks ago
That would only make sence if they gave up the hope that it'd do good in the mainstream media, so they're forced to rip-off the hardcore fans.
It doesn't make any sense unless you have enough of the whole project and your plan is to scrap it with capitalizing the most you can on the hardcore fans to get back some of the money spent. So 4 albums at the same time would mean that Axl wants to end this... he's either retiring, or starting a new band, or the gates are open for the reuinon... It's only opinion, of course.
well, if you take VR as a case study, it makes perfect sense....the first record will outsell anything else on the market purely due to the novelty of it, and bizareness....the others will sell like shit, because only we will buy them....
this way, if packaged together, they are at least assured of the whole thing being sold well, and possibly even setting some or other record in the music industry....
that way, Axl saves face, the record company saves face and makes money....and considering that they have this monkey off their backs, they can get Slash and Axl back together and go and make some more money come 2010....
sounds like a perfect plan....
#190 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 939 weeks ago
great.
let's give Axl Rose a reason to pull the plug on another potential attempt to get this thing released....fucking hell, if this guy was a real fan, he would know the potential consequences of this, and he wouldn't have done this so publicly...what a cock....
for the first time ever, i agree with jarmo's policies when it comes to deleting info like this off the open forum....
