  2. Apparently the stream from last night is free. Anyone know how to access it? Does one have to create an account?

    Don't think it's free. I think you need to buy the package for the shows to watch the stream even after the show from iClips.net. Someone will post it somewhere for free later though. I got the package, just waiting for the first show to be uploaded.

    the encore is for free, not the replay ;-)

    Encore? So the last three/four songs of the show?

  4. Anyone else agree that the way they kick into the second part of each verse in You Could Be Mine is friggin' sweeeeet! Sounds angry and full of energy, love it!

    Yeah Frank opens the high-hat. I'm tellin' ya, this guy is really fuckin' underrated. He adds so much to all the songs.

    ya ya, that's it, wasn't sure what they were doing different, but it's kick ass. I think I noticed the same thing or something similar the last time I heard Scraped live too.

  5. Went to the show last night (9th gnr concert) and I have to say...this was one of the best Axl has sounded in a while. I loved that they played 3hrs and didn't care if some of the poser gn'r fans thought it was late and wanted to go home. They did the show they wanted. rock on, loved every minute of it!

  6. Never thought Axl would give up the rights to his music for ads...to my recollection he's never done that before.

    Songs have been in ads before - but only as Gn'R songs, not covers - as far as I remember.

    R.

    A cover of SCOM was in a top tv advert in Britain. It got quite high in the charts.

    anyone got video of this?

  7. wow, I'm shocked by this...is this fan made or a real commercial?

  8. i think i could have met axl in ottawa if i really tried. in the end what seperated me from axl was a 2km walk in the cold ottawa night, i said fuck it and went into the venue. honestly it really wasnt that important to me. meeting axl would be cool for the sake of the story but i value the performance over a quick handshake and how ya doin. i have no regrets with how that played out.

    actually i regret not getting to talk to bumblefoot, by all accounts he is a cool guy and it would have been cool to have a conversation with him. wheras with axl it would have probably just been a greeting which is why i think its overated. bumble will actually shoot the shit with you.

    It was fucking cold that night, I wasn't wearing a jacket and froze just walking from the parking lot to the arena....which is BTW, a far walk in the middle of nowhere.

  9. Crucify The Dead would have been good in the early 90's ..now it seems musically irrelevant. Whereas, Sorry still feels new, although it draws from alot of classic rock influences. Slash' entire album is okay, but seems to lack direction for me, maybe it's cause there isn't just one lead singer...never been a big fan of these types of Albums.

    I think Ozzy's post-Sabbath stuff has had a 90s feel even before the 90s. Crucify sounds like a song that would be on Ozmossis, which is my favourite Ozzy album. 'Sorry' is a 70s song. It's nothing new. The thing with a lot of young GNR fans (I was once like you) is they listen predominantly to GNR and GNR-member related music. You think because Axl adds some synths to a hard rock sound, it's new and modern? A band called The Tea Party started doing that in 1994. They were/are an amazing band that basically picked up where Zeppelin left off with Kashmir, and threw in some electronica. They also have really good rockers.

    CD didn't impress me at all, because everything on that album sounds like 70s, 80s and 90s music with protools plugins. It was terribly produced. There are audible track cuts, badly mixed overdubs... it was a disaster. I have over 10,000 albums in my collection, and I think I have to say, CD was probably one of the worst mastering disasters. (Probably not Axl's fault)

    Slash's CD, has a cohesive sound, despite the changing singers. I wasn't a fan of the production on VR's albums, but Slash's is great I find. At least it speaks to my ears. I've never really said it on these boards before because I'm supposed to be a huge Slash fan, but Snakepit wasn't really my thing aside from two or three songs of 5 o'clock and VR was semi-exciting, but I literally cannot stop listening to the new cd. It's brilliant and has concretely proven to me that Slash doesn't need Axl.

    I am older than you are...so I don't think you should lump me into this group. I did not like Ozmossis when it came out, I thought it was cheezy and over the top... The beauty about CD is that it does in fact take those various decades of music, incorporates it into what is/was the gnr sound...which IMO was very classic rock. I am not saying Slash's album sucks btw, I am just pointing out that Crucify is an old sounding song. much like you pointed out from the Ozmossis album. Tea Party was nothing like what CD sounds like either... we definitely aren't hearing the same thing.

    I would make a violent and semi-pornographic extended film with a story a la MJ Thriller, and would only release it through the underground bootleg channels. I wouldn't claim any real involvement with the band at first, something that could be a fan made thing, but the quality and the news leaks from people who worked on the set would be enough to get people talking about if this is actually an official video. I would layer 1/2 second clips throughout the entire video, that if spliced together, would explain Axl's direct involvement in creating it.

  12. Just got my book last week, haven't had alot of time to go through it. Some of the stuff I had learned from Guitar Pro files on the net are totally different in the book which is cool. I could never get BETTER to sound right before, and for the little time I spent on it now, I find its 10X better. If you play guitar and this is one of your favorite bands, I suggest you buy the book and not get shitty second hand transcriptions from the net. I know, these books are also second hand transcribed, but they are professionally done and you can tell.

    Plus I wonder, how can they do this without any involvement from the band if they can get all the details about who wrote what songs, and have the proper art work etc...

    The band or its management had to be involved in some capacity.
