They are without a doubt one of the best bands to ever grace this world. Everything about them just oozes this great swagger and sexual energy that is so contagious. The chemistry between the members is without equal. It's like each one knew exactly how the song was supposed to go and what they should be doing. Not a single part of any song can be improved or changed. But live is where they shone the most, especially in their early years. There's never been a band that could match Zeppelin live. They made everyone from that time look pedestrian by comparison. And what gets me is that they were never affraid of trying anything. From rock and roll, psychedelic rock, blues, to folk, country, samba, reggae, Celtic, Indian, and Arabic music. Nothing was off limits and they never sounded unsure of playing something in any of those styles.

But most of all the fuckin' rocked!!

cant argue with that i s'pose

the thing i don't get is. people are gettin uppy about using the name but when you think about it, if axl wants to continue playing guns n' roses music what else would you call the band? "Axl and the errotic daiseys?"

To say the band has no ties is utter bull. Ok the guys supporting axl may not have but axl is the only guy who has been there since the beginning. Dizzy has minor ties with some of the illusion stuff aswell. Would you not be happier knowing that it is axl and his choosen people that is playing the gnr stuff rather than the new generations being deprived of hearing it live until the day all the gnr music is covered by various rap, pop, and pop idol winners. When yoy think about it a new fan at a concert sees them play with no knowlesge of the past, they go home buy the old albums and discover it's even better.

what would i call the band? Axl Rose N The Fill In The Blanks perhaps?

It would never happen. Ever.

I mean, some people are always against Axl as it is (whether justified or not). Some already think he is egotistical, and others think he should never be using the name GNR with a whole new band.

But if he were to pull off something like that, I think many people would just see him as a complete asshole. So it won't happen.

LA

plus it would look stupid. those videos belong in a space n time, what u gonna have bumble playin his foot guitar outside of some desert chapel? or even funnier, if he were still in the band, buckethead drivin a car offa cliff? it'd also look like axl was frightened to do anything other than the old shit n it'd detract IMMENSELY from the Chi Dem album

I thought you would have been gone by now, Marina.

i been tryin...i PMed Eric n Madison...no reply. talked to one of the mods he said they'll do it when they get round to it.

Hip hop bores me to death. There is virtually no melodie, you can't understand what they are saying,... I don't like that kind of music. I like rock because I like the sound of guitars, bass, drums and keyboards, while the vocalist sings with everyday words and not with that ghetto slang impossible to understand.

Eminem may write well, but if the lyrics don't go well with the music, I don't like it, because music is a combined effort. I just don't like the sound of hip hop.

ur entitled to not like it. n music isnt dependent on melody, melody is almost a sedative, i've always thought that the best most challenging music is atonal, kinda like some of the sounds the velvet underground made, or public image limited or theoretical girls, and maybe u should change the sentence to "i can't understand what they're sayin" cuz i *as in me* and 99% of people i know understand it perfectly. n that "ghetto slang" u refer to is no longer ghetto slang, it is considered the patois of the day, it is no longer this exclusive thing, a LOTTA people speak like that, catch up dude. that is todays mainstream, thats how MOST people speak now where im at, i dunno where ur from but...there it is. n maybe, jus maybe the lyrics dont go well with the music because you dont get it. dont treat it like its a shortcoming in the music, it's a shortcoming in you that u dont understand it, ur ears/mind whatever r missing THAT part that others have that u dont that can make u appreciate that hip hop shit, thats how i see it. jus like it's a shortcoming in me that i can't stand Julie Andrews movies y'know, i dont have it in me. and element is simply not there. ur entitled to NOT like somethin dont get me wrong n i totally respect that u think hip hop is a piece of shit n i jus wrote this really with no motivation other than to present u with another possible slant on things, maybe relevant, maybe not but thats up to u to decide.

All of you, stop acting like you don't know what i'm talking about. You know you do, you just don't want to admit it.

never said i didnt understand, just didnt agree...and all this wigger shit, do u realise that the white people that first got their foot in the door in regards to rock n roll were also considered by a large degree of the mainstream populus as wannabe black people, Elvis et al were considered the "wiggers" of their day. check ur history.

Now you are being technical.

Rap = Black Dominated.

Pre Elvis "rock n roll" = black dominated.

That was more Blues/Jazz infused.

black people didnt matter as much so there werent really no name for it but music but it was there. what elvis sang was not somethin that occured to him or indeed his song writers cuz he never wrote a fuckin song in his life. in fact, Sam Phillips from Sun Records went out lookin for "a white singer with a black sound" when he stumbled over truck drivin elvis back in 55 or 56 was it? and all these people subscribin to terms such as wigger arent far detached from those PTA commitees n town halls who made statements like "i think this animalistic n i g g e r rock n roll is jus another means by which the white man and his children can be driven to the level of the n i g g e r". u see em in all these old newsreel footages condemning people like Elvis n Carl Perkins. for what? for bein white guys "actin black" whatever the fuck thats supposed to mean. n people r doin it to this day in a convoluted sense, only they direct it at folks like Slim Shady.

always went around sayin they sucked even though i hadn't heard em. *gimme a break, i was raised on punk rock n hip hop* anywayz, jus listen to this greatest hits thing cuz my cousin has been up my ass about Zeppelin for the better part of 5 years and JESUS CHRIST!!! this band kicks ass!!!! he gave me this compilation called early days, i listened to it all up to this song called the something something levee? something to do with a levee, wherever that is on the album but FUCK ME!!! they kick major fuckin ass!!! listenin to it u can sorta kinda see Axl is that lead singer dude. vocally i mean. but yeah, that band kicked ass!!! good times bad times, immigrant song, rock n roll, black dog, dazed n confused, i was literally lovin every song. this band r fuckin immense/intense. REALLY bluesy at points too, it's fuckin really cool :) any reccomendations? can anyone tell me much about the band?

firestarter n no good for me

a Charlie Parker sax blues compilation? get that kerouac thing goin on...

less theory, more practise....thats what rock needs. get out there n do it.

i think U2 r the most awful middle of the road crap it has ever been my displeasure to stumble upon. i shed tears of stone when they were chosen to present lifetime achievement award to the ramones at the 2001 VMAs

i really like robin finck n tommy stintson kicks ass too, buckethead although no longer a member i think was a WONDERFUL addition at the time n its a shame he left, it really is. bumblefoots a cool replacement though :)

if u like them i reccomend le tigre

i think his shit is about a dope as u can get with hip hop. a step short of biggies rhythm but lyrically he is literally untouchable. n D12 r fuckin sick!!!

i am little late on the post but i agree he is and well be for year's the main man in rap fuck all the soft rapper's em is the shit, i love hard rock the most but i do like em i think if he ever make's another album it better be as good as his 3rd album cus his 4th album just sucked bad just a couple of good song's!

FUCK eminem!

Is that a hippo on the far right?

uh huh :) yes it is!!!

i sent like 10 of em to Roses, dont need em on bootleg, they're mainstream released

Destroy rock n' roll.

Stop living in the fucking past, it will not come back.

OH! a-fucking-greed dude!!! :) what rock needs is for people to stop theorizing about what it needs n then tryna conform to the theory borne from theorising n get out there n be themselves n play how they feel!

lol yeh there good

what kinda music is it, rock, metal, rock n roll what? n whats like...the closest band u could equate em too?

VAINS OF JENNA ROCK!!! LISTEN TO THEM IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

looks promising actually

Eminem is a wigger. He is white.... so why is he acting like something he isn't?

But, he doesn't. That's the music he loves, but I don't see any other rappers singing songs like "Haley's Song".

n exactly how do u act a color? does Bill Cosby act like Rick James??? or does Rick James act like Condoleeza Rice? u can't act a fuckin color idiot! n yes they do adnan, check out Dear Mama...same loving vein.

He's awesome! You should buy atleast Trash and some collection of his earlier work to get started

Yeah!

you should buy Greatest Hits (71-73) and Super hits (89-94) B)

Super Hits'd be the better i think in terms of Waynes Worldish shit

So I saw him yesterday on Wayne's World and thought he was the shit. His attitude, his music, his lyrics, his look, everything. I wanna start listening to this guy.

So, any particular song recommendations you want to give me?

Thanks

Hey Stoopid, Schools Out, Poison. he's actually on UY1, that one song called the garden.

Had it sitting on my PC for ages, but never gave it a proper listen. I'll do so now.

oh dude, listen listen!!! turn it up full n listen n i know everyone ALWAYS says that but this album REQUIRES it!please please please please please please PLEEASE listen to it right away :)
