  1. Motley Crue could never compose a song like "Locomotive," "Coma" or "Estranged." Even their best albums like Shout at the Devil and Dr. Feelgood sound like relics from a bygone era. GN'R music has aged much better, imo.
  2. I really liked "Atlas Shrugged" and am surprised that wasn't (as far as we know) re-worked with Slash/Duff. That could be a great song. It's almost there.
  3. 6. The General- I like this song, but it doesn't really work as a single. It sounds better when it leads to "Monsters," so the song doesn't build up momentum on its own. Still, it's a cool track. 5. Hardskool - Good solid, straight-ahead rocker. It does sound a little "cut-and-pasted" though. 4. Absurd- I have always liked "Silk Worms/Absurd" but I can see why others would hate it. It's punkish, with some industrial flourishes with some great guitar work. The almost new-age interlude comes out of left field and really works, IMO. 3. Killing Floor- I always liked the Hendrix cover, and this is great too. Brian Johnson is perfect for the track and I love Tyler's harmonica. I'm really looking forward to hearing the album. 2. Just Ken- I always liked this song, but the version from the Oscars was amazing. The arrangement is really interesting, with some cool twists and turns, and Slash's solo is awesome. Gosling sounds good too, and Wolfgangang Van Halen throws in a little VH lick. 1. Perhaps- This was by far my favorite of the four new tracks. Very UYI-ish and is a classic GN'R track for me.
  4. I thought that Contraband had the better singles, but I liked Libertad better, front-to-back.
  5. "November Rain" is the most watched pre-YouTube video, with more views than "Smells Like Teen Spirit." So, I'd say the video was good for their career and legacy. My opinion.
  6. If GN'R had released an album in 1995/1996, it would have sold three million copies in the U.S. alone. Van Halen's Balance (1995) was a massive seller, and Guns N' Roses was the bigger band.
  7. Such wit, you should write for the Fraiser reboot.
  8. Like most posts here. The tour is over, there likely won't be any more singles/shows for a while. Just a lot of speculation. Just having some fun.
  9. What if Axl had been on Friends? It was an ordinary day in New York City, and the iconic Central Perk café was buzzing with its usual blend of laughter and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The familiar faces of Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe filled the cozy space, engaged in their usual banter and laughter. Little did they know that their lives were about to take an unexpected turn. As the café door swung open, a figure emerged from the bustling streets of Manhattan. It was none other than Axl Rose, the legendary frontman of Guns N' Roses. The Friends cast couldn't believe their eyes as Axl strolled in, his trademark bandana and sunglasses making him instantly recognizable. "Hey, dudes and dudettes!" Axl greeted them with a charismatic smile. The Friends were starstruck, exchanging wide-eyed glances. Joey, always the first to break the ice, enthusiastically approached Axl. "Whoa, Axl Rose in Central Perk! What brings you here, man?" Joey exclaimed. Axl chuckled, "Well, I heard this was the coolest spot in New York, and I thought I'd drop by. Plus, I'm a big fan of you guys and your show." The gang couldn't believe their luck. They invited Axl to join them on the iconic orange couch, and soon enough, they were all sharing stories and jokes like old friends. Axl, known for his charisma and larger-than-life personality, fit right in with the quirky dynamics of the Friends group. Monica, always eager to showcase her culinary skills, insisted on preparing a special dish for Axl. She disappeared into the kitchen, leaving the others curious about what she had in store. Meanwhile, Phoebe took the opportunity to ask Axl about his experiences as a rockstar. "So, Axl, what's it like performing in front of thousands of people?" Phoebe inquired, her eyes wide with fascination. Axl leaned back, reminiscing, "It's an incredible feeling, you know? The energy, the connection with the audience. There's nothing quite like it." As they shared stories, Chandler couldn't resist making his trademark sarcastic comments, keeping everyone in stitches. Even Axl found himself laughing at Chandler's dry humor. Monica reappeared with a dish she proudly presented to Axl – her famous lasagna. Axl took a bite, his eyes widening in surprise and delight. "This is amazing! You sure know how to cook, Monica!" The day unfolded with laughter, music, and the kind of camaraderie that only friends could share. Axl even picked up a guitar that Phoebe had lying around and jammed with her, creating an impromptu acoustic session that filled Central Perk with a unique blend of rock and whimsical tunes. As the day came to a close, Axl thanked the Friends for the unforgettable experience. "You guys are a riot! If you ever need a rockstar for your coffee shop gigs, just give me a call," he said, leaving the door swinging behind him as he disappeared into the New York night. The Friends cast sat in awe, exchanging smiles and realizing that sometimes, the most unexpected moments create the best memories. And so, the day Axl Rose walked into Central Perk became a legendary tale they would reminisce about for years to come.
  10. Movie night: It was a brisk evening in Seattle, and Dr. Frasier Crane and his brother Niles found themselves in a spirited debate over their evening plans. The luxurious apartment was adorned with tasteful decor, reflecting the refined tastes of the Crane brothers. Niles, in his immaculate three-piece suit, sat on the plush leather couch with an air of sophistication. Dr. Frasier Crane, ever the epitome of intellectual charm, perched on the edge of an elegant armchair. Their plans for the night revolved around a movie, and they were expecting a rather unexpected guest: Axl Rose, the legendary frontman of Guns N' Roses. The doorbell rang, and the Crane brothers exchanged knowing glances before Niles, ever the meticulous one, went to answer it. Axl Rose stood there in all his rockstar glory, sporting his trademark bandana and sunglasses. The contrast between the refined Cranes and the rock icon couldn't have been more stark. "Hey, dudes! Ready to rock this movie night?" Axl greeted with a wide grin. "Good evening, Axl. We were just debating the movie selection," Niles said, ushering him in. "Yeah, I heard. I'm all about Home Alone. Classic holiday flick, you know?" Axl exclaimed, his enthusiasm contagious. The Crane brothers exchanged a disapproving look. "Home Alone? Really, Axl? We were thinking of something more intellectually stimulating, like 'My Dinner with Andre.' It's a cinematic masterpiece," Frasier declared with a touch of theatrical flair. Axl shrugged, "Hey, I like what I like. Home Alone's got heart, man!" As the debate continued, the trio settled on a compromise – they would watch both movies back-to-back. However, another dilemma surfaced when it came to ordering food. Axl, a man of simple tastes, suggested pizza, while the Crane brothers, ever the connoisseurs, had their hearts set on caviar paired with a fine Sherry. Niles chimed in, "Axl, my dear fellow, pizza is rather pedestrian. How about we elevate our culinary experience with some exquisite caviar and a delightful Sherry?" Axl scratched his head, "Caviar? Sherry? That sounds like fancy stuff, man. I just want a good ol' pizza." The banter continued, with the Crane brothers deploying their trademark wit and clever repartee. Eventually, a compromise was reached – a pizza with a side of caviar. Axl chuckled at the odd combination, appreciating the humor in their refined tastes meeting his more laid-back style. As the trio settled in for their eclectic movie night, the sounds of laughter, debates, and the clash of contrasting tastes filled the elegant apartment in Seattle. It was a night that none of them would soon forget – a harmonious blend of high culture and rock 'n' roll, a meeting of minds and tastes that transcended the boundaries of their different worlds.
  11. What if Slash and Duff were trapped in an elevator with Fraiser Crane and Niles Crane? It was a peculiar evening in Seattle when fate took an unexpected turn for Dr. Frasier Crane and Dr. Niles Crane. The renowned psychiatrists found themselves trapped in a malfunctioning elevator with none other than Slash and Duff McKagan, the legendary rockers from Guns N' Roses. The situation took an even more surreal twist when Slash and Duff, having indulged in a few too many libations, produced a bottle of Jack Daniels from their jackets. "Hey, doc, want some liquid courage?" Slash slurred, holding out the bottle to the Crane brothers. Dr. Frasier Crane, attempting to maintain his composure, declined with a polite smile. "Thank you, Slash, but we prefer something a bit more refined. Sherry, perhaps?" Niles, always eager to embrace the finer things, nodded in agreement. "Yes, Sherry is the true elixir of sophistication." Amused by the unexpected company, the Crane brothers engaged in witty banter with Slash and Duff as they awaited rescue. The elevator doors finally opened to reveal Axl Rose and Martin Crane, who had been alerted to the situation. With everyone safely out of the confined space, Axl suggested they continue the evening at Dr. Frasier Crane's apartment. As they entered the upscale residence, Axl couldn't help but comment on the contrast between the elegant décor and the rock 'n' roll presence of Slash and Duff. Once inside, Axl proposed a toast, and the Crane brothers insisted on their drink of choice – Sherry. Axl, Slash, and Duff, ever the good sports, raised their glasses to an evening of unexpected camaraderie. As the night progressed, the eclectic group found themselves gathered around the piano. The Crane brothers, Axl, Slash, and Duff, each with a glass of Sherry in hand, decided to embark on an impromptu musical journey. Axl, surprisingly adept at the piano, joined the Crane brothers in playing Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. In a moment of rock-meets-classical synergy, Slash grabbed his guitar, and Duff picked up a bass that seemed to materialize out of nowhere. The room filled with a harmonious blend of piano, guitar, bass, and the clinking of Sherry glasses. The unlikely ensemble played on into the night, bridging the gap between the worlds of rock and refinement. As the music echoed through the apartment, it became clear that sometimes the most memorable moments arise from the most unexpected combinations – a sentiment echoed in the laughter, music, and shared appreciation for Sherry that filled the room that night.
  12. And what if the Cranes and Axl went out to dinner? Axl Rose, the iconic rock star known for his wild antics on stage, found himself in an unexpected predicament. He was out with the refined Dr. Frasier Crane and his equally sophisticated brother, Dr. Niles Crane, trying to decide on a place for dinner. The choices were as diverse as the trio themselves: the opulent Canlis and the more casual Applebee's. The debate between the three unfolded in the lobby of their hotel. Axl, dressed in his trademark leather jacket and bandana, argued passionately for Applebee's. "Come on, guys! Applebee's has killer nachos and those boneless wings are off the charts! Plus, it's got that rock 'n' roll vibe," Axl exclaimed, his enthusiasm palpable. Dr. Frasier Crane, exuding sophistication in his perfectly tailored suit, raised an eyebrow. "Axl, my dear fellow, I appreciate your enthusiasm for casual dining, but Canlis offers a dining experience that is simply unparalleled. The ambiance, the service, and let's not forget the exquisite cuisine. It's a haven for those who appreciate the finer things in life." Niles Crane, ever the neurotic and refined psychiatrist, chimed in, "Absolutely, Frasier! Canlis is a pinnacle of culinary artistry. The attention to detail in their dishes is sublime. Applebee's, on the other hand, is more of a, shall we say, 'common' experience." Axl smirked, unfazed by the highbrow argument. "Look, I get it. Canlis is fancy and all, but I just want a laid-back meal. I'm not in the mood for all that fine dining fuss. Applebee's is where I can kick back and enjoy some good old comfort food." The debate continued as they hopped into a cab. Axl was outnumbered, but he wasn't ready to give up the fight for Applebee's. The cab driver glanced at the eclectic group in his rearview mirror, amused by the unlikely trio's debate over dinner plans. Arriving at the crossroads between the high-end elegance of Canlis and the familiar warmth of Applebee's, the decision weighed heavily on their shoulders. Would they indulge in the sophistication of Canlis or embrace the laid-back atmosphere of Applebee's? In the end, a compromise was reached. Axl, with a mischievous grin, suggested they start at Applebee's for appetizers and then head to Canlis for the main course and of course, a few rounds of sherry. The Cranes, intrigued by the compromise, agreed to Axl's unconventional proposal. And so, the trio embarked on an evening that blended the rock 'n' roll spirit of Axl Rose with the refined tastes of the Crane brothers, creating a memorable night that would be talked about for years to come – a night of culinary contrasts and unlikely friendships.
