#711 Re: Guns N' Roses » DJ Ashba does to the TIL solo what Bucket did to Nightrain » 764 weeks ago
It's obvious that someone (Axl) came and said to DJ: "Stop trying to copy it, you're never gonna nail it! Do it your way! Make it your own!"
DJ's first attempts at it was awefull, I had to fastforward when watching those early clips. Couldn't watch it!
I'm not a guitar-guy, but imo Robin's version is great, it's soulfull and fits the lyrics like a fuckin' glove! The desperate, sad and straight forward lyrics of the song needs a solo that "cries the same way", if that makes sense...(?)
When they recorded the song, I'd bet that Axl had various versions from the different guitarists. But he decided to scrap those versions that were prolly more clean and "easy on the ear" for Robin's version that cries straight from the heart! The art comes first!
With that said, DJ's version nowadays is pretty great, but different...

Not like he posted one of those threads saying he has unheard stuff himself and braging about how cleaver he is to have it and that it can't be shared. He's just in the market to get some new music - and cares enough to pay money to do so.
It's basically imoral from an artistic pov, objectionable to fans who share and downright illegal in terms of copyright, and that's reason enough to kill the thread...but attention whoring it isn't IMO.
It's like buying a hummer(the vehicle). It's screams look at me.
I wouldn't compare posting on a GNR-forum with a handfull of members with buying a fancy car... That's stretchin' it!

Yeah, USA and Africa are not part of the World!
In a few weeks they've played every continent in the world exept Antarctica and Africa.
If you live in either one of those, you are excused. If not, you should have jumped on a plane when you had the chance to! Many, many, many fans did just that!

#715 Re: Guns N' Roses » Barcelona, Spain - October 23, 2010 (Palau Olímpic Badalona) » 765 weeks ago
Ok, say arenas are too big.
What's the harm in doing theaters in the major cities?
Sure, we have all had the dream of GNR once again ruling the world.
Even if they released PartII of ChiDem with numerous songs with "hit-potential", it would take a lot promoting and Axl selling out and whoring himself to the media or singing the national anthem at some baseball-game in order to wake up the average "stupid American" and shock the american musicindustry out of its RnB-hiphop-country-music oriented daze that have plagued that market for far to long...
What are the odds of all those things happening?
So maybe a small theater-tour is all the US-market is ready to swallow at this point.
Sure, some reunion friendly forummembers on the boards would be extatic and padding themselvs on the shoulder saying: "See? I told you, they are floppin! They are getting nowhere without Slash!"
I just hope they get rollin', no matter what type of venue or success, so that you guys from the US can get your fix!
#716 Re: Guns N' Roses » Barcelona, Spain - October 23, 2010 (Palau Olímpic Badalona) » 765 weeks ago
Surely they can sell out arenas in the US, if they keep to the largest cities. Then the diehards who really want go, can do so. Will likely be sold out due to average rockfans' curiosity!
If they do wanna do something in the US, they just gotta get rollin'...

#718 Re: Guns N' Roses » How can GNR fans possibly be "AGAINST a reunion? » 766 weeks ago
Man, this topic is like a really bad broken record...
Fans that want a reunion continue to try and convince everybody that that is the only true way going forth (or back for that matter...)
The conclusion is really very very simple:
Some fans want a reunion because they loved what they had and not what they have.
Then you have some fans who loved what they had, BUT, also love what we have now and want see where this takes us.
Sure, we can discuss the topic for the millionth (is that a word?) time, but nothing is gonna change. There is no right or wrong about it, only preference.

#720 The Garden » Guns N' Roses-app for Mac! (Fantasy!) » 766 weeks ago

I'm a sucker for all things Mac/Apple.
I just watched the "Back To The Mac" event from yesterday. And Apple are gonna launch their own App-store on all Mac desktops and laptops. Similar to what we are used to on iPhone/iPod/iPad.
The title of the event, "Back To The Mac", means that Apple are taking what they have learned from the iOS-operating system on iPhone/iPod/iPad, and bringing it to the OS X (desktops, laptops).
The Mac App Store will launch within 90 days.
Will this mean that Apple are seeing a future where the web are more or less gonna move into the Apps? Maybe. And in doing so, closing their customers more and more into their ecosystem of OS's. Their intentions in doing so, are highly debatable...
Now on to my fantasy...
A Norwegian band (Skambankt) recently launced their own app for iPhone/iPod. There you can get the latest news, videoes, concert dateds etc etc.
As far as I know, few bands/artists have done this. Sure you could use the web-browser on the device and visit bands/artists's own webpage. But if you are familiar with these devices, you would know that using apps are more "user-friendly". Nobody uses a web-browser to access their FB-page. You use an app!
And considering that it is estimated that Apple are gonna sell around 30-50 million iPads next year, pluss iPhones and iPods. The market for apps are gonna skyrocket in the very near future!
Hell, that market is allready huge as fuck!
Jeez, I'm really ranting here....
As the thread-title suggests, how cool would it be if GNR really put some work into a killer app!!??
We all know why I call it a fantasy! But damn, I would be all over that fucker!
Ok, done!
