how do you figure that he is a B or C level performer? how do you even quantify that?
Because I think he is, that's why. It's my opinion that he is not at the level required to be in this band. Perhaps it was just one line up change too many, but I don't think so. I think he's total cheese.

I really can't explain it, but ever since Ashba joined, me whole stance on this being GNR has changed. And before everybody gets all excited about the revolving door prior; I am well aware of how many people came and went in GNR before Ashba joined.
But for some reason, even when Bucket disappeared and Ron replaced him, then Brain disappeared -mid tour- and Frank replaced him, I still viewed it as Guns N' Roses. It very much felt, sounded and looked like Guns N' Roses to me.
But something changed around the time Ashba joined. Literally ever since that day, it hasn't felt like Guns N' Roses to me anymore. As I said, I know it's weird/odd, whatever, but it's my true feelings.
I feel the same way.

At the end of May, Brooke Ellis came forward with an open letter accusing former GNR drummer Steven Adler and his associates of essentially screwing him out of a book deal. Ellis is professional writer, avid music fan, and was the founder/administrator of Adler’s site for nearly a decade. His work has been featured in publications such as Classic Rock Magazine, Skinnie Magazine, Culture Magazine and for music merch retailer, Hot Topic. Ellis’s allegations leave very little to the imagination: A deal was made in which he would write Steven’s autobiography, and after submitting the initial draft, team Adler washed their hands of him and took credit for the work. The book, “My Appetite For Destruction, Sex, Drugs and Guns N’ Roses” went on to become a New York Times best seller with credit to Steven Adler and Lawrence Spagnola.

#2576 Re: The Garden » First man 'functionally cured' from HIV » 741 weeks ago
I had a roommate in 1990 who found out he was HIV positive. He has never taken AIDS drugs and still is alive and doing just fine in NYC today. I also met a guy who was one of the first men ever diagnosed with AIDS in San Francisco in the early 80's. He's 50 something now and in amazing shape. I'd say in the top percentile of his age group and probably most men 20 yrs younger. He about broke my hand when he shook it. When he was diagnosed he changed his diet and ate mainly "super foods" rich in antioxidants and began to exercise regularly.
I've also known maybe a dozen men in the 90's who died (all relatively young) from this disease. All were heavy drug users and partied hard til the end.

I am 40 and wear converse. I used to wear 'em when I was 15-18 too.
Docs I wore in my early 20's, just like every guy in their 20's in my area did, lol.
I say wear what you want, who gives a shit.

Stranger things have happened...

Remember, a lot of people thought this was a lie, too. Axl getting into a fight with Tommy Hilfiger is much more bizarre and surreal, so I'm inclided to believe DJ.
I don't remember anybody thinking that was a lie.
DJ is a dumb ass.
#2579 Re: The Garden » Last book you read... » 742 weeks ago
Game Change, an amazing book about the 08 election, and Ozzy's book were the last two I read. Knocked 'em both out quickly, a couple days for each one.
