I would like to pass on the following info. Today at the Best Buy media holiday kickoff event in Dallas Tx, it was apparently announced that the Best Buy exclusive release was official! The deal was done within the last 48 hrs. GNR management was on hand,(azoff or gould, apparently an english man) they played the group three songs, chinese democracy and two others.I wasn't there, so I couldn't confirm which songs.
But management stated one song would play for the credit roll in the new dicaprio flick Body of Lies. The album will be released on NOV 25.only at Best But. I know the press release hasn't come out yet, but mods I plead with u to give the thread 48 hrs. The ink on the deal is still wet. Its hard to believe but its only 2 months an one day away! Just enough time for the promotion Axl claims a release needs. Stay tuned to the newswire....

#192 Re: The Garden » Second school massacre in Finland - within a year » 874 weeks ago
In Finland, I've never needed a handgun or wished to have one, and believe me, I've done my time on the fringes of society. I don't trust the police, I trust in my own judgment to be able to select my company and act accordingly.
You'll way to go way deep to meet civilians who carry handguns with them every day in this country. Most of those people will get them regardless of the regulation, and hardly ever pull them on the common folk. It's not hard to stay away from those circles if you have any semblance of normality in your life.
Both shooters were common people under significant stress, which is why gun control is good. It doesn't remove the problems which led to the tragedies, but in my book, getting a gun in this country is way too easy.
Guns don't kill people, people do - whatever. Gun control and mental health of the young go hand in hand in alleviating the problem, because I'm personally more frightful about the average joe who's armed and doesn't completely realize the consequences of his actions, than criminals who appreciate the fact that killing someone with no real reason may lead to a whole lot of unnecessary jailtime.

Well, that's kind of the point in horror, eh?
Between that and Men Behind the Sun, he'll be finding the 80's slashers quite tame.

Hey - who was mixing it in 06?
Andy Wallace mixed most of the 2006 album, probably early into the year.
John O'Mahoney's been re-mixing in 2007.

One of these days, Axl is going to set straight a lot of the misconceptions about himself and the history of Guns N' Roses and people ain't gonna know what hit '˜em.
I'll be waiting...

Ah man,
Completely forgot about Fulci! True that, The Beyond is a wonderful little film, and definitely his finest hour.
Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust (1980), the Blair Witch precursor, is also a must-see, as it coins the cannibal genre neatly.
Mario Bava also deserves a mention, Black Sunday (1960) is probably the one which is touted most.
#197 Re: The Garden » Second school massacre in Finland - within a year » 874 weeks ago
My stateside friend just e-mailed me this morning, saying something in the lines of 'glad to see you keeping up with the Americans!'
Private ownership? Nah, hunting rifles and shotguns seem to go unscathed in the debate that's currently going on. They're looking into private handguns, which are deceptively easy to get.
Ironically, the shooter was met by the police this past Monday to discuss his Youtube videos, which heavily remind those of Pekka-Eric Auvinen. His firearm license, however, went unrevoked.
Both shooters came from a background of desolation and schoolyard bullying, which is something that, unfortunately, doesn't seem to belong into the debate at all.
Personally I wouldn't mind a tighter firearm legislation, and that opinion has nothing to do with these tragedies.
#198 Re: The Sunset Strip » Help with Horror » 874 weeks ago
When I look into the recommendations so far, I see mainly American pieces from the 70's/80's slasher era.
To counterbalance:
Alien (1979)
Audition (1999)
Braindead (1992)
Dracula (1958 - The Hammer Films version, one of the genres most cherished moments in the UK)
Evil Dead (1982)
Hellraiser (1987)
Peeping Tom (1961)
Suspiria (1977)
The Fly (1986)
The Haunting (1963)
The Innocents (1961)
The Thing (1982)
The Vanishing (the 1988 Dutch version instead of the despicable US remake)
Videodrome (1982 - perhaps the first true 'body horror' film)
Even though I personally have a problem with Blair Witch Project (1999), it's something that should probably be watched, as the basic idea (first-person camera) has since been adopted by more venerable filmmakers.

Nosferatu, you must see. It's public domain, so getting a better copy is no-sweat.
You can't even begin to talk about the historical evolution of horror without knowing the European grand-daddy of the whole genre.
I guess Edison's Frankenstein is technically the first as it goes back to 1910, but Nosferatu still gives me the creeps.
#200 Re: The Sunset Strip » Record Labels to Sell Music on Memory Cards » 874 weeks ago
The albums are expected to debut at multiple retailers, including Best Buy and Wal-Mart stores in the U.S., and later in Europe.
Rio Caraeff, executive vice president of Universal Music Group's eLabs digital music unit, said the label will initially release about 30 titles in the slotMusic format. The titles will include old and new albums, such as one by singer Akon.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
