estranged 16

what are some good acoustic artists/albums to check out? i know jack johnson is really popular, but i've never taken the time to listen to his stuff and i only know one song.

and also some house/techno??

Yeah, of course they make sense when they are written by what seems to be a fourteen year old girl.

You mean like Kurt Cobain's lyrics?

''I'm stupid and contagious''

Hey, Miser.

oh shit, is it him?

it is him!

estranged 16: the documentary and doctor's advocate are both great. lax was straight.

yeah the documentary and LAX are my favorites. if anyone is interested, give The Documentary a listen

anyone like The Game? i've been a fan from the second i heard 'how we do'

lil' wayne: top five of all-time.

not yet..

i can feel that. he still hasn't released an album i'd consider classic. c2 was close.

but da drought 3 and dedication 2 are some of the best mixtapes the game has seen.

dedication 3 was awful, though. hopefully he bounces back from that.

yeah, i feel the same. his mixtapes kill his studio albums. i remember a few years ago, i knew and liked lil wayne based off his mixtapes and no one i knew didn't even know who he was, and now a few years later everyone loves him mainly because of 'lollipop' he has a lot more songs that are better than that

lil' wayne: top five of all-time.

not yet..

rap music is awesome. before i ever even gave rock a chance, i listened to all rap basically. many people here blow it off and don't give it the time of day for stupid reasons- they think soulja boy and people like him represent rap which is wrong. they'd be surprised at what they heard if they give it a chance

another honorable mention is game's LAX. good album.

wow i totally forgot that. LAX was great. much better than i expected

paper trail by TI was pretty damn good

Ive never bought anything from a hot topic store,but I dont care what the workers look like.All I know is that they dont follow me around in those stores or ask me a bunch of questions about what im looking for.

I cant believe how some of you say "the workers scare me"...

how about you take a joke? my god

There is no way in hell I'm going to buy something from Hot Topic.

me too. but i think i can make GNR an exception. 99% of the time, the customers and the workers scare the shit outta me

Dr Dre - Detox

Slash's solo album

these

i'll take the classic bullet logo shirt over that

ok so i did a quick search on ebay, and didn't find anything particularly good that i would buy. are there any big name stores that would carry posters of him or even just GNR as a whole?

Say what you will, but you have to give it up to a band that has endured the test of time..which Oasis has. Sure, there's been some lineup changes, but they've kept on with a good product.

No disrespect to Nirvana. They did what they did for those few years.

no disrespect but what are you talking about? oasis didn't 'stand the test of time' because they've been around longer. that's a ridiculous argument considering we all know why nirvana came to an end. nirvana's music has stood the test of time and still has. im sure more people know kurt cobain than noel gallagher. or 'smells like teen spirit' more than 'wonderwall'.

Thank you for your comments. Oasis is far more popular worldwide than in the US, and has been for some time.

..you're welcome? like i said, that is not a fair argument considering nirvana isn't together anymore since their frontman died. nirvana was huge at their peak. they've also had a much bigger impact on music than oasis ever could. had nirvana stayed together, i would bet that they would be 10x bigger than oasis, US and worldwide

You are thinking in terms of the US alone. Oasis reformed Britpop just as Nirvana killed the hair bands. I realize Cobain died. I don't know if Nirvana was bigger at their peak. Oasis played two 250K concerts back to back in two nights in England. I don't know if Nirvana touched that at their peak.

I'm not hating on Nirvana, I like their music. All I was saying is I respect Oasis for putting out a quality product for 15+ years.

yeah i understand that but nirvana can't be compared to oasis in terms of quantity so i don't understand what you're getting at with that

Oasis is not depressing and suicidal like Nirvana.

how is nirvana suicidal really? imo, they just sound like a 'chill' band. not a 'i hate myself and the world' band.

pretty good, that's not forsaken - although forsaken is an excellent guitarist.

yeah it was good but his paradise city was amazing. forsaken is really good too

whoa whoa whoa..sebastian bach is now a member here too??

has axl answered any other questions or posted at all today?

oh ok, well then if it was then i apologize but if not..i stand with my first post

What was the point of doing that?

umm, so we could see his side of the story? i like you, but i hate how you always try to act so nonchalant. the guy writes a fucking novel-length post trying to explain something many of us have wondered for years and you just blow it off casually like it was nothing

i think im gonna print and frame this :xmasssanta:

axl, you are the fucking man! great read and i hope to see more of it from you
