nope, you're the last one. maybe something about your alias troubled them?

he's awesome, as a singer AND a frontman...we use to talk about Freddie Mercury as the definitive performer, but clearly Steven is in the same league...and yeah he's 75...

joyeux anniversaire Boss

happy Bday Duff McKagiane!* *oops sorry I thought it was the "don't spell it right" thread

how dare you calling a ranked Senior ignorant, you little nothing that. would. never. have. happened.

and since I increased my rank to Senior, I declare that I am right about this subject

so imagine what he would have thought of Taylor Swift's music but he would have recognized the importance of her role as a woman in the industry and would have appreciated her attitude against Trump. two things that I also readily concede

how I wish Kurt Cobain was still alive to shit so hard on this so-called "music" requiring an army of 62 collaborators to exist, pointing out a society that has become so capitalistic that its only argument regarding quality and relevance is the number of sales or the fame it generates.

come on.

and still, GNR music is so extraordinarily superior in terms of everything and will be remembered for it

she's like Britney Spears or Justin Bieber, and she will be remembered* *as a phenomenal record sellers and a blessing for the recording industry

I'm not a guitarist and I'm thinking the same, so no

that's correct

wanted to answer, saw the comparison with The Beatles, instantly thought it would have been a waste of time

to be fair you can't win anything against The Beatles

yeah and nobody will care about her music in 10 years. she's a decent human being, but still a plastic product of the industry. she's here to make dollars, not music. in fact it mainly confirms that to make good music you need time, especially in an era where magic is hard to find, it's not the sixties or the nineties anymore. in short, you shot yourself in the foot with that argument.

it lacks cohesion where a global concept could have made accept the diversity of the songs. out of 14 tracks almost half are relatively average, pleasant to listen to but without any particular substance in the long term. I mean, who regularly listens to If the World, Catcher In the Rye, I.R.S. or even Street of Dreams & Madagascar? there are very strong things like There Was a Time, Prostitute, This I Love, Better, Shackler's Revenge or even something more controversial like Scraped and you would have something very strong with The General, Perhaps, Hard Skool & Monsters

for the moment and based of what we know, my opinion : CD II > CD I

if I'm correct Cliff already announced his retirement in 2016, he probably changed his mind just to pay tribute to Malcolm Young (who died in 2017) with their last album to date, so that's kinda natural and logical that he's retiring now.

yes! now we have to determine in what

Justin Street from Airbourne seems a more obvious choice to me

Brain left in 2006 ("the fun of Axl and the attitude kind of went away") and Frank is the official drummer since and played parts on the last album to officialize it.

yeah it will change the dynamics between drums and bass and the whole sound. no way they'll call Brain back or call another drummer it would be a real snub and insulting.
