Although he says it happened differently, the band claims he just never showed up to start work on Red Carpet Massacre. In a way he could be the Izzy in DD - never thought of it that way (meaning that he's probably unlikely to rejoin the band, not that Izzy didn't show up for a recording). I got to see the Power Station. I was young - maybe 12 or 13 - and my wonderful Mom surprised me with tickets during a really really rough school year. I cannot even begin to explain how deafening it was. You know those videos of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan and the girls screaming? That was a church service compared to Power Station. My ears rang for a week from the screaming. And it was fucking great! I did get to see the reunion in 2003 and seeing the original five together was a bucket list moment. I felt like I really truly saw the band from my youth and I can understand why it's so important to so many of GNR fans to have Izzy and Steven back for a tour. Ohhh, I will have to read Andy's book. Sounds interesting....but sad to hear there was some bitterness there between some of the guys. You got to see the Power Station?! Omg, I am so jealous! But ears ringing is no fun...I want to be closer up front at the Guns show this time around, but will I look like a nerd if I have ear plugs? Most likely. Ugh...my ears are ultra sensitive to loud noises. Booo. And wow, you got to see Andy too. Girllllllll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky girl Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 was there a law on 80´s which to being a rock star they would must to have a long crazy hair ? 36 minutes ago, bucketfoot said: Steve Jones' look from around that time is brilliant as well!

He's a North East of England lad as well, much like myself, which for some reason makes it even more hilarious that he went full on L.A. rocker (saying that, if I'd been a few years older, I would probably have been sporting a similarly ridiculous barnet, such was my love of hair metal in those days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some people wearing them at the Axl/DC and Guns show I went to last year and they looked fine. Much better than the people who sit during concerts. 18 minutes ago, Lucky girl said: was there a law on 80´s which to being a rock star they would must to have a long crazy hair ? Yes, and a leather jacket with either zippers, studs or pins. (or all of the above if you're Jon Bon Jovi) God Bless the 80s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That led to Michael replacing Robert Palmer in Power Station, Jonesy collaborating with Andy on "Thunder" (which does have the same vibe as Jonesy's "Mercy") and later John Taylor in Neurotic Outsiders.

Lucky girl Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) A pop group have been influence metal bands more than originals metal bands. I´m surprising with amount I dont remember or know if GNR have something like this Duran Duran: heavier versions of English classics. Check out list https://whiplash.net/materias/biografias/246002-duranduran.html https://whiplash.net/materias/biografias/245746-duranduran.html Until "Wild boys" one of more "boybandvibe" songs. my choice Edited May 13, 2017 by Lucky girl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However while i was listening other covers I reflectioned how DD musicians are talented, HOW fucking HARD are compose good arrangements.pop. I became a GNR just because there werent only screams and drums without harmony.

Lucky girl Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 thanks, i can speak better than writte, About "Rio": "The song was inspired when the group was in Brazil and decided to write a song about their experiences in the country." Simon still count in portuguese '1,2,3,4" (um, dois, tres, quatro) Axl Rose was here in Brazil many times and never write one line to tibrute his brazilians fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you listen to your favorite song hundreds of times over the years, it usually a fail when you hear a cover version (sometimes, not always), but this was very well done. 8 hours ago, Lucky girl said: Axl Rose was here in Brazil many times and never write one line to tibrute his brazilians fans. He owes Brazil an entire album and a bunch of free shows. Many years ago there was the Duran Duran Tribute album. I haven't listened to it in ages, but if I remember correctly it was a lot of ska bands and not that great. There was also Eagles of Death Metal's version of Save a Prayer that I liked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'White Pony' definitely (great album), as a starter, nice mix of the hard/soft stuff, then go from there. From the bits I've seen you post about music/bands I'm surprised you're not into them, actually. They have a massive sound with really blissed out, dreamy, melancholy vocals (some screamy stuff as well). This track isn't from White Pony but is a good representation of their sound (and is one of my favourites by them) On the other hand, you have this Edited May 14, 2017 by bucketfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
