Last night I was talking to DTJ. Mainly about the BBF footage she uploaded, but as usual, I steered the conversation towards BH.:butt: We were talking about Rio 01, and after our convo was over, I put that DVD in and watched Madagascar.
He takes that song to a place no one else is even capable of going.
Amen. He's the best soloist in the world. Nobody can match him when he nails it. BH is the definition of getting the guitar to weep (sorry Clapton).
The fact that he's the only guitar virtuoso I can stand says a lot.
6 days till I leave work. First thing I'm gonna do is put on "earth heals itself" and just sit back with a joint. (ok, I'll make the joint first).

I got the songs I need.
so you're jus gonna keep the ones you want for free?
baz funded this album out of his pocket. sorry i just hate seeing people pirating shit because it takes money out of my own pocket everyday.
It's not about the money, it's about principle. I don't support shitty music.
Now you might say "why did you dl it then?"
Well, I am a die hard Axl fan so I just had to hear it. Wasn't too impressed with the non-Axl work, but always nice to hear his voice. So does that make me a thief? Yes, but it is a special situation, and that's pretty much all I can say about it. I spend like 30% of my paycheck on music and films, so I can't really say it gets to me.
But I understand and agree with your point completely, I guess I just chose to be an egocentric asshole this time. Nobody's perfect.

Being "inspired" by trends and actually copying trends is walking a very fine line. You're right though, the trends being used are a definite departure from what was typical of old GNR, even though alot of this stuff is aiming towards UYI territory.
Is it really? Or is it just because that is the only thing there is to compare it to, previous Axl work?
To me it simply sounds like the parts in GN'R I recognize as vintage Axl. I can think of many influences, but the way it's put together is simply classic Axl, and only that. There isn't a single band I can think of that sounds like this band does.
Name one.
Songs being built around hip hop beats. The techno synth flavor added to tracks. The industrial crap. The Prodigy ripoff Silkworms. Turning an an incredibly beautiful song into an 80's power ballad.
These are multiple trends. To me that is no different than OG GN'R incorporating aspects of the Stones, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Elton John etc. and making it their own. Imo that is what great music is about, extracting the best from different styles.

I have yet to have heard Libertad, I think...maybe I heard it once, really can't remember for sure.
Perhaps that is telling enough.

These are definitely visiting my mailbox in the near future. I've been away from Bucket way too long. A little Population Override is all you need to know how much you miss him.
Christ, this man is a genius.

The leaked tracks... what current trend is being followed there...?
Every trend from the past twenty years mixed together. It breaks no ground whatsoever, but they do it very well.
Being inspired by trends is quite different from following one. It sounds fresh in GN'R terms. Expecting more than that is unreasonable, especially from a 'mainstream band'.
Axl wanted to try out new things. Imo that's what he's done, and he's done it good. Mission accomplished in that aspect.
The leaked tracks were written years ago. They were playing catch up on the trends that were already becoming dated at that time.
Name one.

This guy's the new Adler, in each and every way.
Ok, Axl is a great guy. We get it, no need to go down on him twice a week.

Good to see you melissa. You've uploaded some great stuff for me.
#4810 Re: The Garden » Self Esteem » 930 weeks ago
I used to have low self esteem about my looks since I never had a girlfriend in my childhood/teen years. Well, I had one, but that just doesn't cut it in those years. Now I know that was because of some other shit, so these days I think I'm handsome as hell 
Still got issues with the women though. Never had a steady relationship, and now I'm at a point where I don't want one either. Sorry girls
