As most of us know, "The Trilogy" was said to be a four part story, told through the songs NR, Don't Cry, and Estranged. Estranged was Part 4 of the trilogy, and DC was Part 2, implying we never got Part III. Do you think This I Love was Part III, or is it perhaps another song we haven't yet heard?

Do you think Axl still believes in "The Trilogy" or is it just another concept he's abandoned?

Who was the better rapper?

Honsetly if I had to pick any bands unreleased stuff id put it in this order

1. Guns n roses~ unreleased 1996 album. (If this was ever completed I would love to have whatevers in the vault.)

This.

A question:

How are the novels in comparison to the films? Just because they came first doesn't automatically mean they're better.

Like, if the Sean Connery films are my favorite James Bond, will I enjoy the novels? Will I get that adventurous, glamorous, 60s feel from he novels?

Just curious about this.

For those who believe present day (1998-present let's say) GN'R is superior to AFD-TSI era GN'R, can you explain why you think so?

Well Queen are fucking terrible so nothing in that vein.

You've just lost all credibility on anything having to do with music.

What musical direction would you want to see GN'R go next?

Personally I'd love something like '80s era Queen with a modern day flair. '80s Queen meets modern day pop. Some sort of glitzy, yet deep direction, with pop frills. But with some hardcore fucking merciless numbers as well.

I think GN'R should cover this song. Strip down the band, just Axl, DJ, Bumblefoot, Dizzy, Tommy and Frank. Axl could do the higher pitched parts of the song, BBF could do the lower register parts. Have Dizzy on honky tonk piano; let BBF and DJ amp it up a little to modernize it. Release it as a single. It's a catchy song by it's nature and it'd be so totally out of left field that it could even possibly be a hit for GN'R. GN'R has a track history of taking unexpected songs and making amazing covers out of them and doing it successfully.

What are songs that make you feel fucking pumped, full of energy, etc every time you hear 'em?

This song always makes me feel like I can conquer the world:

I don't think there's been any members of GN'R who were truly 'dumb'. Adler pre-stroke seems to have been not a GENIUS, but not a moron either. Gilby and Matt don't strike me as intellectuals of any sort, Slash neither. Duff and Axl, of the Classic Era band, were probably the brightest lights. Izzy is a mystery but I'd venture to guess he might've been the smartest of all of them.

Of the new band, probably Bumblefoot is the most intellectual.

I think the answer to this question is obviously, without any hesitation, Dizzy Reed. He's the brain in GN'R if Axl is the balls and brawn.

Anyone else think Can't You Hear Me Knockin' is like, the ultimate Rolling Stones song?

It has it all: An amazing, sleazy, ear worm riff straight outta the Chuck Berry playbook by Keith, a pumping groovy sort of bass, perfectly completely lead guitar by Mick Taylor, even Charlie's drums have a certain loose groove to them on this one, with great, drug soaked lyrics. The song just utterly comes together. First we have Keith's riff intro, then the bass comes in and plays along, jiving with the riff, playing off it, along with the drums, nice and loose but creating a great pocket. Then the two Mick's come in, filling in the rest of the sound, with Mick Taylor's lead parts playing off Keith's main rhythm. And then the song suddenly does a 180 into an epic Santana inspired jam that just rocks and reeks of sex.

The perfect Stones song.

Which period of Led Zeppelin do you prefer---the early days or latter days?

The Early Days:

Led Zeppelin I (1969)

Led Zeppelin II (1969)

Led Zeppelin III (1970)

IV/Zoso (1971)

The Later Days:

Houses of the Holy (1973)

Physical Graffiti (1975)

Presence (1976)

In Through The Out Door (1979)

Does every movie have to be The Dark Knight? Fucking pompous pretentious art house wanna be crap. Overwrought. Great, so Nolan's gonna buttfuck James Bond up the ass with even more psychological drama and even less fun.

Watching The Highlander on Netlix. Such a classic movie.

For some reason I keep reading the thread title as "I hate pedobears"

I was imagining "Physical Grafitti" as remixed by Beck and Trent Reznor.

I was very let down by what we eventually got, and I was horribly disappointed by This I Love in particular.

Was expecting it to sound more like OMG production-wise but hopefully more melodic than that song, without the stupid distorted vocals.

Loved TWAT and Catcher....wish it was more like those two.

This is what I was expecting as well.

But I would've loved an album of songs like OMG. Really heavy, aggressive industrial stuff.

Or an album full of songs like Better.

Better and TWAT were the best leaks

Before you ever heard a note or a song from the album, what did you imagine CD would sound like?

Do you think the music a person listens to says something about who they are, their mindset?

I had an idea--and I was curious how it would fly.

We all know how the warning point system works. I was thinking that perhaps over time, if a person has continued good behavior (That means no suspensions given, no informal warnings via PM, etc)--let's say 6 months of good behavior after being given a warning point--said warning point would be taken off their account. It would be a way for people who have gotten warning points in the past to sort of be given a fresh start. I mean let's say a person has 4 warning points, and all of the person's warning points were earned a long time ago, and then long after they earned the previous 4 warning points, they go and do something and get ONE point for their behavior--they'd be automatically banned despite perhaps having a history of better behavior up until that latest problem which would've only merited a single warning point.

Do you think perhaps in inner city Detroit the ratio of kids that knew about em would be a little different perhaps?

And as far as what most white kids grow up listening to, you're the same age as me roughly (29) so i figure our parents generations are the same but you kids around these days that were born in 1989 and 1990, those parents, even the white ones i think, weren't necessarily listening to your classic rock n roll. I guess your point, broadly speaking, still stands but i don't think it's quite the same way as people like us (and in our age group) grew up with rock n roll as sort of a standard.

To be really honest, even we didn't in the same way as the preceeding generation, far from it, in mine and yourses youth Hip Hop fucking exploded and rock has been slowly seeping out of the charts since then and today it's hardly there at all but then to lean on your side a little the charts aren't necessarily a reflection of ALL listening habits or awareness levels musically speaking.

I was born in '90 and I grew up listening to the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jim Carroll, Patti Smith, The Cranberries, Simon & Garfunkel, and a lot of things in that vein.

Some were; some weren't

You have to understand that for some people, MLK was the beloved figure he is considered today. But for others--even non racists--he was considered a rabble rousing trouble maker.

In the last few years before he died, he had become controversial--even among white people who had supported him before--for saying stuff like America was the greatest perpetrator of violence in the world; speaking in favor of financial reparations for slavery; speaking of how America needed to institute democratic socialism instead of capitalism. As you can imagine, such statements didn't sit well with many mainstream Americans, even ones who had supported the Civil Rights movement. Many of his previous supporters in the government, like President Johnson and others, backed away from him.

From people I've spoken to who were alive in 1968, the view for many was that King was a great man, but a great man who had already seen his best days and greatest moments. He wasn't the same shining figure who led the March on Washington. As it was, the Civil Rights movement was fragmented, split into several groups, some militant, some not; King was no longer the monolithic leader who he was say in 1963.

Basically, it was sad, but it wasn't as shocking, traumatizing, or tragic as say JFK's murder, at least among whites. With King, you already had a man who had hit--and passed--his potential, his greatness. Whereas with JFK, many feel we were robbed of his potential and his potential greatness when he was killed.

Among black people, though, it was a tragedy on par with JFK's death. There were riots in countess cities when news of his murder broke.

What is you and your significant other's song?

Mine and my girlfriend's:
