First time I watched foxnews I was pretty damn shocked about their coverage of news compared to my domestic media channels of all kinds. But that's how it is in the world now, the truth twisted into the unknown.

I run a board, another band, completely different thing. Very small stuff. I jumped in when the official one got closed and raised hell. The singer quit 6 months before that. And so we had a Axl vs Slash thing on our hands, only different names, different band and different situation.

I went with the singer. 3 years later I can say I did the absolute right decision. While still fan of his old band, it's not where my interest lies. A few month later and I had both singers on me, both old and new. One telling me "listen, this and this is a complete lie, please help me to try to get thru to the fans and tell them without me having anything to do with it officially".

The other one, the new one, asked me for chats and interviews trying to build a bridge between the alienated fans and themselves.

Listen, it's easy to go with it if Axl or whoever the fuck calls. I wouldn't say I like HTGTH and their censorship, but I won't be blaming Jarmo for agreeing to it. Look what he gets out of it. If you don't like it, you stay away. I mostly do.

I still run forum where everyone can say whatever the fuck they like, but I also run a board for the singer which I control. You can't have fucktarts around talking shit about everything and everyone. Not when you got managers, promotional people and interested listeners coming in to check what it's all about. When the first thing they meet is "this song is fucking crap" and a dozen others of those, it doesn't do good for anyone. There is a limit to everything. I haven't deleted one post yet though, all well inside the limits to what I allow.

Some people won't be positive even if Axl came to their house and did a private show. It's how it is. And the amount of people being simply crazy annoying fucks with a brain IQ of 50 are everywhere. And they speak their minds too. A lot. Some people are so fucking crazy they're ready to do anything just because views are shared, opinions divided and rumours fly around. I've had lead guitar players send messages to the forum thru their "spokesperson" telling us to "shut the fuck up and pay respect" when we discuss his drug abuse while 4 months later he openly speaks about it in a book and it's all over the media.

There's so much shit going around you wouldn't know. So much fucking lobbying, people being shit scared of their image and afraid of the truth getting out. So many lies that can hurt you and your band and even your family.

All I'm saying, I don't like the extreme censorship of HTGTH. He's mixing the cards. It's not official, it's a fan board. You can't play both sides of the game. I've tried.

Madagascar never turned me on when I heard a studio version for the first time. I loved the 2002, 2006 live versions, didn't care for the demoish 2001 version.

However, the vocal is horrible. It was better with a cleaner voice. It needs more flow..to me it feels all over.

It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as there is a line of a verse or a chorus that is kept being repeated. Eventually you start to sing it yourself, like it or not.

Like "nothings gonna stop us now" or "all i got is precious time".

Always come to the conclusion about TV ads for artists and bands that the trick is to play a little clip of a chorus of a song to get the most out of it.

While the riff is cool and all, if I was GNR management I would have found a distinctive chorus and played it over and over again so people just got it under their skin.

Another band I've been dealing with did a commercial and I was furious when I found out they did not do that but rather had some electronic intro thing on the commercial.
