#911 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Bumblefoot interview in Classic Rock » 892 weeks ago
And so the saga carries on......
I'm starting to think it was a fluke Schaklers Revenge is coming out....either that or the record company demanded some money from the band up front to help pay for promotion
#912 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses launching iTunes promotion: 'Ides of March' hint? » 892 weeks ago
They aren't backing out of releasing Shackler's...that is coming. However, I personally still feel it is a song to test the waters, and they will finalize release plans in preparation for x-mas after seeing reaction to the song.
Whilst you maybe right, this sounds ridiculous. Test # 1 Oh My God Test # 2, 3 & 4 Leaks. What differences do tests make? If the music is good it will sell in some format, whether thats CD Video games or I tunes
Right now , they'd be better focussing their energy on trying to secure other promotional opportunities such as movies. If I was GNRs manager I'd be aiming for James Bond or something

They will look like right twats (no pun intended) if they pull SR now, especially after all of the fuss made by Harmonix. To piss Harley D off that maybe one thing, but to threaten a massive stream of revenue from the video gaming industry is another...
#914 Re: Guns N' Roses » More leaks soon? » 893 weeks ago
This is why those of us who make an effort to get our hands on 'the goods' so to speak tend to do a lot of our communiques through text messages and good old fashioned mobile phone calling back / forth
It scares me how twisted and altered a story can get when it passes from one person to the next, especially when it comes to this community. Its not a bad thing - in fact, I find it rather fascinating - but yes, it does scare me.

Scaring might be a bit of a strong word!
Out of interest do you believe there will be any more (old) leaks from the hoarders before the album is released? Is there much material out there that might never see the light of day that people will hold onto?

Bored of waiting for Chinese Democracy?
Try this book:

It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I'm certainly enjoying it!
#916 Re: The Garden » Robert Williams AFD Lithograph » 893 weeks ago
I thought if buying one of those a while back. Would be cool if you could get some of the original band to sign it
#917 Re: The Sunset Strip » THE WILDHEARTS » 893 weeks ago
I've followed The Wildhearts pretty much from their inception, can't count the number of times I have seen them live. Ginger is an incredible songwriter
If you want something diffrent try Phishing for Luckies.
Otherwise try one of these
29 x The Pain
Vanilla Radio
Girlfriend Clothes
#918 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 895 weeks ago
Really, the band would be MAD to release a new song if the album wasn't on the cards for a late 08 release.
I always thought elements of OMG sounded poppy (you know that disco beat and 'wooooo' sound Axl makes) but was also quite hard and upbeat. I hope Schaklers has an upbeat feel to it.

did you guys see this yet? Its a video where they discuss Shackler's Revenge. "its a mix of old and new, crazy buckethead solo" ect.
The mention is at about 5:30 into it.
Nice find, Tommie! karma.
I'm really happy to see other people excited about this - I mean other than us maniacs here.
Favorite part:
"...where does it fit in the challenge of the game? Is it 3 stars, 4 stars?"
"Well... it's um... Axl. So it's about 3 quarters of the way down. It's a hard one"
My other favorite part:
"Oh yeah.... I was just playing it..."
People playing the song with it out in the open hopefully means it'll leak sooner then later.
Its funny...watch a 'gamer' play GH or RB i guess and they sit in their chair quitely focussing on the screen and hitting every note, barely noticing the song. Must..get..high..score...get..to..next..level...complete...game
Watch me play GH and I'm jumpin all over the sofa rocking out and trying my best rock star moves!
I'll probably never get to Shacklers Revenge if I get Rock Band, I'll probably get stuck on 'Let There Be Rock'. Which isn't a bad thing!
#920 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy "On the schedule" » 895 weeks ago
Axl is one of the most incredible marketing geniuses of our times. Richard Branson eat your heart out
14 years ago he predicted the Olympics would be in Bejiing and came up with the name 'Chinese Democracy'. With plenty of time to spare he perfected the album and fine tuned his plan. Sure, he lost a few members along the way but it was worth the wait in the end.
How stupid of us not to realise.
