#2561 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses on Universal Music Group Release List » 875 weeks ago
Why can't people for once put their prejudices and bias aside, objectively look at the situation, and simply realize that this is the closest we have ever been. We have never had this many legit sources outside of the band claiming the album truly is in "the pipeline" for release. It doesn't mean it will happen, but it damn sure is close.
I agree. It seems like the album is in sight. It may not come out this year, it can be next year or never, but now we are close. I wonder if Axl or anyone outside the record company can nix it for whatever reasons, after it is on the list. It's really in the label's hands now, isn't it?
#2562 Re: Guns N' Roses » Del James Interview » 876 weeks ago
yeah, I guess Marc Canter is an Axl kiss ass too because he says Slash should publically apologize to Axl for all the things Slash has said in the press. Marc has been very opinionated on the subject and is still close friends with both. The whole thing is stupid, but I still feel Axl's side gets trampled on the most. Some of it is deserved, but alot of stuff he gets blamed for is bullshit.
Unfortunately Marc didn't go into details, so as a huge Slash fan, I don't agree with him, although I assume that he can e right, since he was around and I wasn't. (BTW being around only means you have more inormation and the people who were around had really different perceptation of the whole thing.) Anyway, Marc was always mature, even in his critics, he's still good friends with both camos, so I wouldn't call him an asskisser.
On the other hand the only thing Del has achieved in his life is being Axl's friend. His writings are poor, even for a non-native. He wouldn't have sold a copy without Axl promoting it. Yet Del is quite hostile towards the ex-members and the fans, he defends Axl even when there is no attack, but fails to give any real update (the legendary truth that people can't see but the Axl camp knows, yet can't talk about it). Even Anthony Kiedis said in an interview in the late 80s-early 90s, that Axl had some problem with RHCP using SCOM's riff in a song (about untalented posers). He and Axl talked about it, told Axl that it wasn't against GN'R and everything was OK, but then Del James and others (Kiedis names Del) started talking shit about them to Axl, so Axl got pissed off again. Del is one of those people who always support Axl, but IMO the more he 'helps' him, the more he drags Axl down. Beggars and Hangers-On.

It's called being obsessed and being an asskisser. That's what Del James is.
#2564 Re: Guns N' Roses » What we expect from on official CD release » 876 weeks ago
For a punk rocker every song that longer than 3 minutes is epic. Tommy said in 2004 that we'll get 10 or 11 tracks. Axl said 16-18 tracks in 2002. Plans can change, none of us has any idea about it now.

Matt Sorum was talking about the 'next' GN'R record in early 1993 and he said it would come out sometime in 1994.

Wow, they needed so many people to write a below mediocre song.
#2567 Re: Guns N' Roses » Del James Interview » 876 weeks ago
We all know how the Axl camp 'sets the record straight'... I've never read as much misinterpetation and a collection of 'clever' lies than in the GN'R press releases and in the Axl interviews. Double Talkin' Jive, Mr. James...

It's time to call Izzy and do a good rock 'n' roll album.
