That would be my exact five, but I'm not sure about the order.

RS2014 is great, even better than the first game.

Personally, I never had any noticeable latency on 360 or PC, but it depends on your TV and audio system and how you connect them. Finger position is indicated on-screen at all times. The spatial representation of the music is indeed different from tablature, but it's much better for sight-reading than tab is and it won't prevent you from learning tab any more than learning tab prevents you from learning to read standard notation.

The dynamic difficulty does kind of suck in practice (particularly once things start to get complicated), but you're not required to use it. It's only used in the "Learn A Song" mode, and you can always just turn up the difficulty all the way and set the speed lower to learn that way in Riff Repeater insteIs

Is HDMI the best way to connect from ps3 to receiver to minimize latency?

No, HDMI is the worst possible way. The recommended setup is to use analog RCA-style connections for audio. HDMI decoders on some TVs can be very, very slow. Optical is better than HDMI, but still not ideal. Be sure to turn on "game mode" or turn off any special processing features of your TV or stereo. If the audio system has a "direct" option, use it. If it has a "surround" option, turn it off.

On the 360, I use the audio-only RCA connector for audio and an HDMI connector for video. When travelling with my 360, I tended to just use HDMI and rely on not running into a high-latency TV. There have been some complaints of the 360 version of RS2014 hanging. Not all that many, though, so probably not a common issue.

On the PC, I don't do anything special. The PC versions of RS1 and RS2014 have always been known for fast loading and low latency (and for getting patched quickly and frequently). RS2014 on the PC seems to just work. Some people with discrete sound cards (instead of integrated audio) or USB sound have to turn off the ultra low latency mode (because their hardware is too high-latency), though. Asus Xonar cards have a lot of issues with this.

PS3 has tended to have the most problems. The first game used a lot of memory, and the PS3 has worse memory limitations than 360 and PC, leading to lots of out-of-memory crashes--especially if you had a lot of DLC before the last patch. There seem to be some issues with difficulty levels on songs not saving properly in RS2014 and there used to be issues with the import pack not being available for PS3 users outside the US, but the import pack issues seem to be fixed now.

He could've singed the contract before he started going by Axl.

I've enjoyed many songs Axl sang on. Even so, I'm pretty sure even he couldn't make THAT entertaining.

Do you think the GNR camp is worried that The General and some of the other mythical CD tracks are going to leak? I've been thinking about this and I can't see them being this upset unless they believe that The General, Atlas Shrugged and Soul Monster are out there in cyberspace and set to leak. That is, unless CD II was going to be 14 different versions of Better and a Tommy Stinson sung song with Axl on backing vocals. Everything is fucked up.

Well, if they're mythical, I doubt the GnR camp is worried.

At this point the whole commenting by Dj's that its not gnr without Slash is cringeworthy, and people voting they hate a song that they've never heard is pretty fucked up and strange.

Lots of people hated CD for years before it even started to leak. Sometimes, it isn't about the content.

Just wondering, cuz in another forum(non GNR), he said he loves CD more than the 2 UYI albums. And he is not a hardcore fan as most people here. So wondering what you guys think.

I just wont add AFD cuz that is just on another level; while TSI is a level below.

I find myself listening to CD far more often than either of the UYIs, although there are some great songs mixed in on those two.

I consider this one of GnR's best songs ever.

AFD: Think About You

Lies: Reckless Life

UYI 1: Right Next Door to Hell

UYI 2: So Fine

TSI: Human Being

CD: Street of Dreams

who would sing?

D.J.'s probably the best singer of the bunch.

I like this thread. It makes it really clear which people understand sarcasm and which people are completely humorless.

What was her "more g than r "tweet in response to? Coz I mean Axl didn't tweet her!

Dunno, but I though it was rather funny that she said that, since Guns wasn't there either, was he? In any case, he didn't perform. It was more like "GnR without G or R"

Huh... I thought all you guys would be up for semi-naked chicks on stage.

Not if it interferes with the anti-Axl narrative.

This place is becoming rather unpleasant. I guess it's time for me to go find something else to do until Slash's new CD comes out (I hope it's as good as the first one).

For those who haven't checked it out and think DJ Ashba only does Six A.M. stuff, check out their first album. He may surprise you.

It's cheesy but good fun.

I'm finding that I really like the unpublished Ashba stuff that's on Youtube, too.

Chinese Democracy is a good album. It's just not a Guns N' Roses album.

We all read shit like this everyday and I want to ask a simple question -

Why?

Because the horse pulling the bandwagon says so.

I'm not saying this to belittle anyone in any incarnation of the band, this is just a general comment. But this is the first version of Paradise City I've listened to in a long time that's not the current band, and I really feel like it's got a lot less punch without a third guitar...it sounds a little thin to me. Maybe it was the video, we'll see when it's televised.

Myles sounds better than usual though IMO.

Agreed. Myles usually sounds terrible on GnR songs. This was very listenable. I also agree about the guitar sound, but it was a pretty nice performance, even if it's not up to the standards we're used to from the current band.

I can understand that many people feel the conflicts with the former members are Axl's fault. But it's not Axl's fault that Myles sounds terrible on the AFD songs.

Where are all these people crawling from

Turns out you can fit a lot of people on a bandwagon.

Well, at least you're a douchebag with an awesome shirt.

Finally, one really good post this week.

see if they've got the balls to do one in a million

That's what I was just thinking... Green Day could take one for the team and distract from GnR's internal politics and controversy.

There's a certain irony in a band like Green Day (known for incredibly simplistic guitar parts) inducting a band like GnR.

Bach looks weird these days

Yeah, he and Chelsea Handler look more alike with every day that goes by.

The perfect time would be weeks BEFORE the event. That way, it gets mentioned in all the press coverage, but it's not so close that people criticize Axl for exploiting it.

In others, follow Slash's example. His people handled this perfectly, announcing the release well in advance and setting a release date the month after the HoF.

I wasn't gonna bash CD, personally I think it's a very good album.

And I'm not a huge Springsteen fan, but I'm very impressed after listening to this album he's releasing at the age of 62. It just got me thinking. That's all.

I thought it was rather cringe-worthy. Same old music, buried under the latest version of the same old political cliches.
