#241 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 86 weeks ago
Watched a couple movies last night....
Till - About the murder of Emmett Till. Really well done. My only complaint is the scene where they show his mutilated body should've been more graphic. The reason his mom wanted him photographed for the world to see is how horrifying the crime really was. They also don't actually show his murder. Any of it. You just briefly hear a scream. A cop out.
Knock At the Cabin - An M. Knight Shlnsnsnswiso movie. I really liked it. The problem with this guy is you're always expecting some bullshit twist. It really impacts your viewing experience.
I guess it does have a twist...sorta...but not over the top. The end wasn't all that satisfactory but he really builds up the tension on the way there.

I’m going to write fan fiction for this band.
We've all been doing that for 20+ years!

They don't even sell new GNR/Chinese themed merch anymore.
Which is a shame. I rather liked some of the circa 2000/2002 merchandise.
I really love this one...
This too...

I don't think we're getting a Chinese anniversary edition/box set.
While they do release Chinese leftovers and perform some CD songs live, they are not promoted as such.
It's as if new GNR didn't exist.
All promotion and merch has to revolve around this....
While they do have various city themed lithographs, everything revolves around the above logos/banners.
It doesn't compute with this....
They don't even sell new GNR/Chinese themed merch anymore.

The problem with anything new gnr related is $$$. Writing credits and touring will all lead to the old lineup. To much red tape for new gnr to have a run in any capacity. The only thing I can maybe see is some sort of box set of the CD era that Slash and Duff sign off on and throw Axl and company a bone. Even that can potentially undermine the current band if the versions with Bucket and Finck blow away the reworked songs.
Its time for Axl to move on from that era anyway since it doesn't have a future. Pick a few more songs for Slash to work on and release them. It's time to start focusing on new material with the current lineup.
Good point on how Slash/Duff have to sign off on everything.
Agree that it's time to move on. I think they're about to and that's why we're now getting these mythical songs.
They know which songs the fans have wanted for decades. One more batch would essentially wrap it up.
Do one more drip feed, have GNR management address the issue with hardcore fans telling them the CD saga is over and a new chapter has begun, and they'll see a lot of the negativity go away.
They don't have to release the rest of the material to please 99% of the hardcore base. Just the main songs.
Atlas
Oklahoma
Seven
Boom... Chinese over.

Goin down is just a gorilla village head left over
Its a good tommy solo song but not a good GNR song
It reminds me of the discussion back then how fans speculated there might be an Axl/GNR song on VGH.
Little did we know....there could've/should've been.
It shows how out of wack that 2004-5 period really was. During his promo before and after its release, he never even mentioned those two songs.
I said this the other day but I think the things the fanbase thought they knew for sure (eg. Me and my Elvis being Soulmonster) actually aren't sure at all.
Absolutely.
The fan base was never kept in the loop. We were looked down on with contempt by GNR management and they frowned on anyone giving us updates.
Hell...Frank is too scared to even mention a fucking song!
We depend on old archived quotes that clearly have varying degrees of reliability.
Axl himself hasn't commented on this stuff in about 12-13 years.

Where in the hell is Claude? Dude was ready to sell his soul for The General and Soul Monster and now he's nowhere to be found.
BigBri really needs to come back.
Who else out of our main cast is missing?
Pasnow is another.
#248 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 86 weeks ago
It’s 2 songs imo….subject matter is completely different….General is about child abuse and Monsters is about Seymour….again, just my opinion.
I agree.
They may link them for whatever reason but they were clearly two different songs at some point.
I don't know how anyone watches any of that GNR YouTube content. Pure garbage. You couldn't pay me to watch it.
I'd actually prefer it not be promoted here.
Stuff like shackler's SoundCloud/YouTube channel is perfectly fine or other Evo member accounts but the stuff like mentioned above is pure hogwash.
#249 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 86 weeks ago
Big Guns could be going down or a new version of Oh My God... But this is weird....
Going Down a big gun? 
Going Down is barely a wart on the ass of Dust N Bones/14 Years/So Fine.
I know the final version will be better. I'm sure.
But i have the perception that these songs, including perhaps, state of grace, Atlas etc are leftovers... Worse level than CD songs.
If this is the case, please leave them
Yes they're leftovers...but leave them?
It's all we're going to get! The fan base has hung in all these years for the final big guns.
If they leave them, you'll see an immediate exodus from these forums... including yourself.
Izzy must be busy doing donuts around his house with a dirt bike.
Seriously, what is this guy up to? Seems he is not married and he hasn't released a solo album since 2010.
The Not In This Lifetime tours have been a never ending commercial for AFD and GH.
He's swimming in royalties from the past 7 years.
#250 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 87 weeks ago
I am just glad all this stuff is coming out.
Me too.
We're finally rounding 3rd and headed for home.
One more leak of the right tracks would do it.
