Loving Eminem. He always cracks me up.

Me. The rap game is coming back in 2009. Eminem's record is gonna bring the rap game back. Not to mention, Dre is supposed to release Detox this year too, after Relapse hits.

YEAAA MAN, BLACK FOLKS RULIN 2009, ENSLAVIN WHITEY! DOWN WITH UR WHITE PINK SKIN AN UP WID OUR BLACKNESS AND OUR BITCHEZ AND HOS AND NO TALENTZ!

What the fuck is up with you lately?

rap isn't music.

define music.

I notice you didn't get a reply. hehe. I don't suppose they want to go *there*.

But I'll disagree with you Stacks. I've always liked Eminem and I'll definitely hear this one out. I want him to succeed. I'm curious to see how he's going to get around all those lines he wrote in the past about 30-something year olds being too old and such. That would be interesting.

"No one's stoppin' us now -

We go down, down where the music's loud .... "

Anyone have Bowie love?

only 3 posts of that entire debate?

I'm still waiting on the memo regarding the un-coolness of the majority of the music you all listed.

I don't think I'll get that memo either .. I'm in no way expected to be cool anymore. (woot!) Well, my son thinks I'm cool rather than some type of old fart Mom so I guess that's the important thing.

Jeez his jackets are awesome. I've always been a 'jacket as an accessory person'.

I got one. My honey got it for me.

Google "Guns N Roses Piano Music"

In his posts over the past few days, Axl goes on and on now about how not-really-a-band the old GN'R was, how they didn't get along with anything, how there were secret ambitions and plots and politics right from the outset, and tones down the musical accomplishments to a point where we are to think they are insignificant compared to Chinese Democracy.

I love Axl, but the way he has responded has just made me very upset...to try and erase what put you on the map, it's despicable of anyone. Slash is just as in the wrong, but that's just it. It's a 50-50 split, and neither of them can see that. It doesn't take a genius, or someone who was even there. The very fact that they're on entire polar opposites implies that there is some middle ground they are both choosing to ignore.

And does anyone else find Axl's VERY long defense on why he kept the name Guns N' Roses just.......off? I appreciate the man offering his genuine opinion, but it doesn't matter what band it is...if it gets to the point where there is just one of the people left, then it is not the same band of people, and therefore requires a different identity. Guns N' Roses is not a survival story for anyone but Axl, and that makes it AXL'S survival story, not Guns N' Roses.

You have a right to your opinion, even if I don't agree with it.

First off I didn't translate what he said as toning down the musical accomplishments of the original band at all. It's simply that he's 46, and has had years to reflect on the things that have happened.

As for middle ground ... sure. But he's not going to speak from anyone's perspective than his own. Same as you or anyone else would.

And don't even go into the conspiracy theory of such a 'long' defense. He stated his mind, and also stated why some of these things could not have been discussed at an earlier time ... and why. I'd suggest you go back and re-read.

Why is this not stickied?
