rocknroll41 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) I think Axl told Kurt Loder in that 1999 interview for mtv that he had his own little home studio. also, didn’t he mention in the 2008 chats here or on another forum that his home studio was used for parts of recording and/or mixing ChiDem? Or maybe I read that on Chinese Whispers. Idk. Edited May 3, 2019 by rocknroll41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, I can't even count how many threads on this forum have made me wonder why no one's thought of making a tragi-comic "Waiting for Guffman" style documentary about the fans here and their eternal waiting and faith that someday this band will release an album without a 20-something year delay. And spend those two decades trying to dissect a series of red herring clues for an explanation as to why the new music has yet to materialize and/or why its release may actually be imminent.

Grohl's a genuinely cool and talented dude, and humble. He has no business being a session drummer for a Guns album, but a feature on a song has potential. I don't want to go too in depth regarding this post since it's GNR. However, I have to say that Godsmack is awesome in concert!! I saw them last summer with Shinedown at PNC Arts Center. They blew Shinedown out of the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, their albums are boring but they're a hell of a live band. I've seen them 4 or 5 times at different festivals, they're awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Shinedown is one of my worst concert experience. I saw them at Rock im Park (sister festival of Rock am Ring) in 2016 and they had like 60 minute slot and the dude, singer, whatever his name is talked for like 25 minutes. It was so annoying. Also pretty sure they had a big backing track with a lot of guitars and some vocals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pretty sure they had a big backing track with a lot of guitars and some vocals I've seen them a couple times too, at some of the same festivals Godsmack was playing actually... the first time I saw them was pretty good, they played for maybe an hour and the singer didn't talk that much. The 2nd time I saw them, they fuckin sucked. Talk about 'going through the motions', it was shamelessly choreographed. Also, the singer for Shinedown is notorious for lip-syncing.

GoBucky Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 10 hours ago, adamsapple said: Foo Fighters ain't no better than Nickelback. If their lead singer would not have been in a band with Kurt Cobain, no one would give a shit and rightly so. Decent drummer though and seems to be a nice person. But as a singer/songwriter I just can't take the guy seriously, too bland, too mediocre, too "likeable", no edge. I'm not a huge Foo Fighters fan but I disagree with this. They didn't push the Nirvana thing very much on the first album release and he's certainly not one of the biggest rock stars on the planet just because he was the drummer in that band. His name certainly helped early on, but he stayed away from using the Nirvana thing. Novaselic released stuff and they did nothing on the charts. There's some real solid stuff there that helped blow Grohl up. The first 2 albums are very good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Dave is a killer musician and a great songwriter, plus he's friends with the GnR guys. Check this out, he played all of the instruments on this song and tracked the drum part entirely from memory, one take. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprite Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 10 hours ago, soon said: Me too. When I looked up that pic just now, I found this mini article. According to this guy, it may have been in reference to rumours from a few days earlier that Axl was found dead. I have no idea if thats accurate though? It sure doesnt appear to be Axls silhouette to my eyes. http://toddhancock.ca/axl-rose-posts-ghostly-studio-photo/ LOL WUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester 524 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 for those wondering about that "ghost" pic- it is from Axls Twitter on dec 3 2014. he was referencing a fake story that came out that he was dead the day before. the tweet before this pic said "if I'm dead, do I still have to pay taxes?" the pic appears to me to be on a computer monitor in the studio which he could have googled. in between takes of "rock the rock". or it could be a double talkin jive reference to finding a head and an arm in a garbage can outside the music studio. or more likely it is paul tobias' cryogenically frozen body waiting to be thawed out for when Axl is ready to have Slash leave again. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
