One of the finest songs he's ever written, I can't believe it wasnt on his new album!

Im definitely going, cant wait to hear Squire's guitar

A Simple Game Of Genius.

ITS LEAKED, in high quality !

Incredible record. Everybody's on the run, is an instant rock classic.

Eat shit

dont get angry that axl is considered a joke.

mourn the situation, and remember the good times, otherwise join the small band of deluded sheep.

thanks.

what a sad sight

I cant believe one of the greatest frontmen of rock n roll, is now the joke of rock n roll. I truly believe it is time for axl to call it a day.

Fans were willing to forgive a fat Axl Rose when he appeared two hours late for Guns N' Roses recent Rio gig, but the ginger fruitcake rewarded their patience with a half-baked performance.

Critics and fans alike have turned on the red-headed renegade after he casually and systematically murdered his legendary band's back catalogue in an appalling display of absolute mediocrity

Backed by his usual ban of personality free half-wits, the flame haired Axl put all of his considerable weight into pulling off the sort of sub-standard show that his old nemesis Bret Michaels would have been proud of.

In fact, the former lead singer from the rocking '80s band, Poison, who don't need "nothing but a good time", is probably in his oils and pleasuring himself silly with the nearest guitar after numerous reports have appeared in the press slamming Axl Rose's poor performance, and revealing in great detail the poor ginger rock god's struggle with obesity.

It's been reported that at Brazil's Rock in Rio festival, Axl Rose and his band of merry meat heads failed to arrive on stage until 2:45am local time - two hours later than billed.

Axl Rose would have been forgiven his punctuality problems by the sweating and hungry hordes if the vocal vocalist had delivered the goods, but like one of those tone-deaf retards who America believes has got talent, Axl went on to casually murder his fondly regarded back catalogue in the systematic and methodical manner of a born psychopath.

When the all singing and all dancing tub of lard took to the rain-soaked stage he snarled, "Good evening, good morning. Please bear with us and give us a little second here to figure out what to do about not falling on our asses.

"I'm gonna try to focus on singing rather than running around like an idiot. I'm better at being an idiot. We want everybody to be careful."

It's a shame Axl Rose could not have been just as careful about looking after his voice over the years. As he metaphorically fell on his ass again and again and again, critics slammed the great ginger hope of our times for "screaming like an old lady", and "venting like a strangled cat."

The fat has been was clearly out of breath between songs and many a fan shed a tear at the ravages old father time had visibly inflicted upon both Axl's voice and appearance.

Welcome to the jungle, Axl. Do you know where you are?

shes freakin gorgeous !

Imagine: you’re a talented but struggling singer-songwriter with an ear for lush arrangements (not to mention a director’s eye for collage) who moves to Brooklyn from upstate New York but can’t get any traction at open mic nights, where you’re limited to your voice and a guitar, and even your name (Lizzy Grant) only brings to mind a character on Entourage. Do you throw in the towel?

If you’re lucky, you’ve got some resources you can draw on (in Grant’s case, her father’s shrewd investments in real estate domain names) and you can hire a top-line producer like David Kahne and PR team like Shore Fire Media. Then, if you’re smart, you work, and you wait. Grant, now Lana del Rey, (presumably after Lana Turner and, perhaps, Dolores del Rio?) is both lucky and smart, and now she’s poised to make a huge splash. On the strength of her first single “Video Games,” and its accompanying video, above, she’s sold out her first two shows as del Rey—one each in New York City and Los Angeles—and has just premiered another killer video for the B-side “Blue Jeans”:

Lana del Rey’s look is of a piece with her sound: vintage Hollywood filtered through New York eyes, and not without irreverent reference, though MTV Style covers her “gangster Nancy Sinatra” image better than we could. We’d rather gush about the sweeping arrangements of “Video Games,” which call to mind Phil Spector‘s Wall of Sound, of course, but which are slightly more understated in their use of harp and strings than, say, “Across the Universe,” or the ironic nod to Belinda Carlisle in the decadent lyrics. “Blue Jeans” is retro in a different way—its reverbed and delayed guitar calls back to 1960s surf in the same way “Wicked Game,” Chris Isaak‘s hit single from the Wild at Heart soundtrack, did. And this doesn’t even touch on the great montage work she’s done with super-8 footage for these videos! We are definitely looking forward to hearing more from del Rey.

Lana Del Rey.

Enjoy.

I predict world domination, and for once it would well and truly be deserving.

great Noel Interview here.

"Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase," he explains. "And once you've had success, you have to keep having it in order not to be a failure. In business, you can have one massive success that earns $50 million overnight, and that's it. You're successful. End of story. But in the music business, you have to keep on doing it. You have to constantly chase success. The fame you just get. I enjoy being famous, because I don't have to do anything. I can just turn up at nice restaurants and people are like, 'Oh, it's Noel fucking Gallagher. Brilliant. Sit down.' But success can ruin people, because you have to chase it, and that can drive you insane. You can get obsessed with the idea of a formula, and you start wondering, 'Why did I sell 20 fucking million albums in less than two years during the '90s, but now I can't sell 20 million albums over the span of 10 years after the turn of the century?' And it's not like I sit around thinking about that, but it's always there. And when you start really chasing success, you start to make mistakes, and that's when things spin out of fucking control."

could be album of the year.

That melody is fantastic, packs a real emotional punch, really good lyrics.

video for new single tomorrow 8:21am UK time, on official site.

so fucking excited!

The 5 minute clip is just utterly epic. Listen to it on the top left.

probably the best songwriter of the last 30 years

Oasis is an iconic band and Blur and Pulp just aren't.

i beg to differ, good sir

me to, very few in the us thinks oasis is iconic..

but thats a different subject for a different thread..

a completely irrelevant point.

they are iconic, geography and opinion doesnt even come into it.

should've been wtsmg vs. the great escape - with s/t, blur had broken out of the shadow of "parklife", "girls & boys", "country house" etc, and the former two came out around the same time after the silly chart battle and all that

however, the better britpop album? in this case it's without a doubt morning glory since blur (the album) is far removed from that particular 'scene'... and while "beetlebum" is better than anything oasis ever did, wtsmg (and oasis in general) have played a bigger role in my life. it's a record that simply cannot be denied (arguably only trumped in sheer magnitude and thunderous sound by be here now).

also, is there anyone who honestly likes "hey now!"?

i love hey now, i think it's great. i think the music SOUNDS like what the lyrics seem to be on about, sorta heavy and slow and tired, i really like the pacing of it, slowing loudness makes it sound fantastic, i think that was the secret of Oasis, melodic three chords pop turned up SERIOUSLY loud, it just makes it sound fuckin blistering! But yeah, Hey Now is great, it really appears to be about something, regret or...the past or...i dunno, melencholic but loud, great fuckin combination.

I love the tired regretful sound of hey now too

always loved the lyrics:

The first thing I saw

As I walked through the door

Was a sign on the wall that read

It said you might never know

That I want you to know

What is written inside of your head

And time as it stands

Won't be held in my hands

Or living inside of my skin

And as it fell from the sky

I asked myself why

Can I never let anyone in?

I remember listening to this album 16 years ago, and at the age of 7 I finally understood the beauty and the power of music.

One of the greatest bands of all time.

The best voices are the ones that get you where you live, not some textbooky fuckin student bullshit like "oh, i see Liam is unable to react A flat minor mixolydiatonic, by my calculations that makes Axl Rose, Rod Stewart and Christina Aguilera better than him" fuck that, rock n roll is what goes on after school, not during.

No mean to be offensive but man, that's the most stereotypical, teenage wannabe rock n' roll thing I've ever heard. Liam just has a bad voice (and he's a total moron of course). Axl Rose isn't the best singer either. I love him as a frontman, but as a singer? I mean, guys like Dio, Eric Adams, Tim "Ripper" Owens, Jeff Scott Soto, etc. are just out of their league! Yeah I agree rock n' roll has got something to do with doing whatever you want, but come on, a guy needs to be able to sing a little at least.

What a truly awful post. The noise that came out of liams mouth, was the voice of a generation. :chef: Just because you dont like his voice doesnt mean you've suddenly become the universal singing consultant of the universe.

nice way to cover yourself by saying you dont think axl is a great singer either.

ridiculously transparent post. Nice try though. The bit where you said (and he's a total moron of course) gave it a way.

You're in no position to say what defines a great voice, for example you couldnt prove that Luciano Pavarotti sings with more passion than Liam Gallagher. FACT.

Liam is one of the greatest rock n roll singers of all time, plenty of proof to that.

well goddamn this makes me feel old.

amazing album, a real grower.

this is possibly their second greatest album.

LoL the first album had a couple of decent singles.

a complete novelty act, and when the novelty wore off they flopped hard, and broke up. The second album was one of the worst albums of all time.

rubbish band.

They're coming back with a new singer? Jesus.l

had wayne perkins been picked ahead of ronnie, it's likely the stones would have imploded.

ronnie was picked because he had amazing chemistry with keith as a player, and he looked like a stone.

hand of fate is top 5 stones easy.

'Battleship Hill' is extraordinary. Mind you, the whole album is special. It's personal yet resounding.

yeah those vocals are just wow.

who needs lady gaga when we've got harvey?

Really loving the album now, it's grown on me loads. Expecting a top 3-4 UK chart debut. These guys have made a really good album against all the odds.

It's a really breezy and effortless album.

Abbey Road session was great.
