Credit to anyone who gets up there and has a go - but l couldn't cope with this at all - it hurt!

I see so much arrogance in these posts, and hostility towards'noobs' [check out your local gunsguy posts]. i wonder where that all comes from? not everyone has to be the same, and that is cool. some kids like jessica simpson, that's cool. listen to alice cooper whose daughter loves celine dion, and alice took her to see celine dion in concert and said: 'it's not my kind of music, but i respect her, and she is an amazing singer with talent.' that's the spirit of rock'n'roll.

Totally agree - and the snobbery here is unreal. Were they born with 5 million posts on mygnr? Quite a few people (the ones with a life) don't bother counting posts and only post if they feel the need to respond.

What ads ? am i missing something?

The way I read it back in the day was that Blind Melon used to cover Don't Cry before they became famous. Axl was a friend of Shannon Hoon's sister back in Lafayette and caught wind that the band had covered the song and when Shannon moved to LA he became friends with Axl who as we all know had Shannon on stage to sing the song with him. Hoon also sang backup on the track on UYI and also appeared in the video.

This is exactly the way i remember reading about their friendship back in the day.

Thanks for all your suggestions - they really help. Think will just get new player. speakers do have line in so looks as if i can sort that to. Thanks all.

Thanks s.d. - will look into. Do you think it would be compatible with speakers for ipod? probably not - not with the way my luck goes!

Can anyone give me advice please. I bought an ipod mini approx 20 months ago. After about 6 months it just packed in, i took it back to the shop and they shipped it off to apple who then replaced it with a new one.

Now that one has packed in. It doesn't get heavy use, mainly at the gym and i plug it into logic 3 speakers at home which also charge it.

The warrantly is up and i don't feel inclined to buy another ipod. If i buy another mp3 player how can i put my music on (which is all uploaded on itunes). Really don't understand music files and their different formats. Has anyone any ideas or any time to think about this? I would really appreciate some advice.

That was brilliant - jennifer saunders looks more like axl than he does himself!

Harvest and After the Goldrush are two fantastic albums, they don't seem to age. Rust never sleeps is good to.

Holiday and Basket case are favorite at the moment. Love the lyrics to Holiday.

btw just because something is easy to play doesn't make it shit, some of the most enduring classics are relatively simple.

If they are punk, then punk was always meant to be easy, a lot of the original punk bands (in the UK) hadn't played before they first got on stage.

I love the music from Platoon, but I embarrass myself by crying everytime I hear it. Also Oh Brother Where Art thou and Pulp Fiction are amazing.

Thanks titchy000 !! nice one

W. Axl Rose: The Unauthorised Biography by: Mick Wall (4th May 2007)

Where did u see this?

RIP Elvis

We can all be sure that unless we die young we're gonna grow old. Axl isn't old and doesn't look old. 70 is the new 60, 60 is the new 50 etc etc.

Yeah, i doubt he would be writing another one, although i wouldnt put it past him. Mick Wall loves getting attention from the GnR name, every fucking article about Guns or Axl that he writes he just has to go into how he was "imortalized" for all time in Get In The Ring. Fine! he has written other articles and books, but he needs to move on from GnR, all he wants to do is stir up more fire, luckily i doubt Axl would give him the time of day!

You are of course right. Mick Wall has seen how successful the tour has been and has pound/dollar signs in his eyes. He's rushing a book out to cash in on Axls name.

We should be thankful that he's back again

Exactly - I can't imagine that anyone into Gnr would be so petty, desperately trying to find something to criticise.

Thanks but I thought that the book in the above link came out years ago. Maybe i'm confused in my old age!

Yeh I saw that . the tv was mute at the time and someone was talking to me I was going "shut up shut up" turn the tv up. by the time i turned the sound up bloody madonna was on!

Thanks but I don't think it's that one. He's says that he's writing it at the moment and that its about Axl

specifically.

I feel as if i've missed something and that everyone knows except me. On Mick Walls blog (where he talks endlessly about Axl) he mentions the Axl Rose book he's writing and Ross Hafin mentions it to in his blog.

Is it true or am I being gullible believing them?? Does anyone know anything about this??

1. Ziggy Stadust

2. Aladdin Sane

3. Diamond Dogs

4. Hunky Dory

5. Man who sold the world

This was almost impossible as I absolutely love every one of these albums. I really like a lot of his other albums but these are my top 5.

Guns should stay in the UK and play some more gigs, Axl obviously likes London, so he should stay a while!

LP

bloody good idea

He looks great - he is getting very near 45 years old ! just wish he'd lose the goatee its yukky.

I am Slash etc, etc, etc, I also have a hot supermodel wife!! (I'm a girl)
