  1. King's Speech is easily one of the best acted films I have ever seen, but that girl from True Grit should easily beat Bonham Carter at the awards.

    Plus:

    When Firth is talking about his childhood and he breaks into song about how his nanny didn't feed him. Did anyone else almost well up?.
  2. Really liking this song, the drums are pounding, the guitar work makes me wish DJ can get some studio time with Axl and the vocals compliment everything. It's unlikely to bring them in more fans but I never felt that was the point of this band, they seem to be much more into the "Lets see if this works" mindset than the "Lets make popular songs" one.

  3. For all the faults people think Robin had there's one thing you can't deny, the guy had a huge amount of character and you could hear that coming through his guitar both live and on the album. Incredibly organic player.

    none of that made his playing any better though :shrugs:

    All the character in the world wasn't gonna patch those gaping chasms in his playing.

    That was always one of the reason I really liked Robin. There was always this question in my mind as to whether he meant to hit that note, whether he meant dealy the note, whether it was him getting lost in what he was doing or if he just messed up. That's why I started calling what people called 'fucks ups,' finck ups.

  4. I don't really understand the thinking behind people downloading these songs if MSL puts them out there. There's 11/12 songs so surely that implies they have an albums worth of material, finished or not, which they plan to put out. Why ruin the surprise and only have 2/3 new songs to listen to when the album drops.

    Just be patient and find some other music to listen to.

  5. Axl said he sees Chinese Democracy as a double album, I don't see him stopping until that has become a reality.

    It all depends on how long Axl has that hunger to create music, hopefully that's a long way off.

  6. Wait, does this mean Slash and Duff got money from Chinese Democracy sales for both album and tour?

    Why would they get money from Chinese Democracy sales?

    I read the first post and got confused :huh:

    So that's a no?

    Sunny, I agree, I always had feeling a big hold up for this album was Axl trying to make sure they got no money from the album. Don't have any proof for it though.

    Of course it's a no, they weren't the song writers and they weren't the performance artists on the album- they get nothing, obviously.

    That's what I always though, I just got a bit confused by all this copyright/ownership jargen.
