actually, I kind of agree. even Axl got his shit together and is acting like a nice, grownup person nowadays.
on the other hand, Izzy owes nothing to nobody, and of course can do whatever he wants to do.
just maybe without all that passive-elusive attitude.

Sick is so-so. not a bad album, but definitely not better than the previous ones. the newer stuff is plain bad.
#633 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Your favorite GN'R side-project? » 463 weeks ago
yes, maybe that's why it's much more famous and also more rock-ish than the following stuff

I really like Duff's stuff circa 1996-2001. I mean, Neurotic Outsiders, Beautiful Disease and pre-VR Loaded era. it's so underrated and forgotten. yeah, of course I also like Believe In Me, but that album is much more "rock" than "punk rock" and everybody knows about it. the later stuff is much more obscure, but I like it even more. it has somewhat strange punkish mood, really hard to describe it. in the last days, the original version of Mezz from 10 Minute Warning just keeps playing in my head, with that grinding guitar riff. same about the original Seattle Head by Neurotic Outsiders. and then some moments from Episode 1999 Live. cool performance of Raw Power there.

well, I must say that at this point I don't really care about who's at "CD2". the real question is, if we ever see ANY release AT ALL. after some announcement, we can start debating about who's playing what. but not really now. because it gets the same every year. "ZOMG it's finally coming out this year!" but we keep saying this since... I don't know... 2010?

true. I have some MTV report from fall 2002, which is clearly about "Buckethead-mania", citing him as the most spectacular thing in the band

The "demos"(they weren't demos, they were finished tracks not properly mixed/mastered yet) stomp all over the actual album and I prefer them over CD even with three less songs.
I like what Bumble did in the final ChiDem (the song) version, but besides that, I prefer the 2007 leaked demo. it's sooooo much more aggressive and punchy. the final mix is kind of muddy.

yes, but it's really tricky to compare these two (or any two guitarists who ever happened to be GNR members). in this particular case, I agree because I consider Slash's solo stuff (that is post-VR) absolutely terrible, while I quite like Sixx:AM, especially the first album. but on the other hand, there's stuff like Snakepit or VR, which is above Sixx:AM. and then there's the first Beautiful Creatures album, which I adore. really difficult comparison, and that's only these two guys.
I'd just say - be happy for whoever is in the band now, if it means something new and hopefully some release. no bad blood against anyone.

I still remember half of you saying Bucket/Ron/DJ/Finck was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Has James gone back and deleted any post before 2016 yet.
That being said, I have nothing against their contributions and think Robin was a great addition to the band. Better is an awesome song and kudos to them for putting up with all the BS for over a decade in some cases. But I'm glad to have Slash back.
I think this has always been a huge misunderstanding. all those guys did their best, just for some reason they never got a proper chance to shine. I really liked every single guy that ever got a part of the band. but in the end, all that matters is - releasing fresh stuff. nothing has been done for 8 years, so we'll see yet. altough yeah, now it seems something could really happen. maybe.
