more damage control by the silly ego maniac. The fact that it's still going and he keeps bringing it up only makes me feel that his self importance is stronger than ever. my guess is that he doesn't give a shit about drinking a beer with Fortus. He just wants everyone to think he has class, which he doesn't imo. I really dislike his personality from what I can tell watching interviews with him and in social media he kinda became a joke after his online interactions with Fortus.

is it because you prefer his lower register? while I'm not really a fan of Myls's vocal timbre, I felt that "4" lacked some energy because Myles sang too low for what the instrumentals kinda were asking for. sometimes when Myles goes for the really high notes it adds to the song imo like Starlight and Battleground and a lot of tunes from LTD as well.

I'm very excited about the upcoming Slash solo album. in addition, Slash already composed at least 10 songs for The Conspirators which he has yet to release from before "4" was released. I'd like to hear those as well. hopefully the next Conspirators album will have better production. There were a lot of cool Slash ideas on "4" and tunes which I still listen to. It should be easier for Slash now to work as covid is not really as much of an issue. also Myles was not 100% healthy when he recorded "4" so the next one should be stronger vocally.

to be fair, we don't know anything about that poster, and I don't want to be an asshole, but that would explain a lot. Insecure about herself and how she doesn't want to have the groupie label so she gets defensive and judges everyone but herself. it's just speculation, but I agree. ironic reading her using the word "projecting" multiple times.

again making the distinction between you - the real Axl fan/Gn'R fan and other fans who just don't get him like you do. I guess it's hard to be objective when you think you're better than other people. @Ratam made a guess about why Axl is single. while I do find that unlikely, I don't get worked up about it and there was no malicious intent there, if you know anything about that poster. honestly, you come off as an obssesed wannabe groupie, even if you're not.

spooky

quite enough of very clear posts from other posters explaining what I find counter productive and rude about some of your posts in this thread like this: and this:

this is a forum though, it's not a one on one conversation. Sometimes we exchange opinions, sometimes we exchange facts. everything that you discussed in your last few posts is just your opinions. you say that you're all for live and let live, so why can't you be more inclusive when it comes to showing a little more respect towards other posters when they express an opinion that rubs you the wrong way? asking someone in a snarky way if they know this is Gn'R we're talking about just cause they think that filiming Matt having sex with some chick is not cool to them is uncalled for imo and it does have a connection to porn so maybe that poster mentioned that she's not into that kinda shit as well. It shouldn't be that big of a deal for you to call a group of posters here 12 year olds. It doesn't contribute to the discussion in any way. last part of your post about the kinky sex thing is just speculation that you found silly but this is Gn'R we're talking about, not sure if you're aware.

I try to read a post fully before commenting, and I think I did in this thread. Anyway, I think the perception of how we see Gn'R and what they did varies from person to person and it's something that is worth remembering. I could say that you couldn't handle @BluegrassBlues opinion about your answer when it came to Matt. there's nothing wrong with how she felt about that particular piece of info imo so why judge harshly when the whole point of this forum is to share opinions.

^^^ @Avillartcorrection I did say I thought you seemed offended, it was a long post, so my mistake, but the rest of what I said still applies imo: we're all just Gn'R fans.

I didn't ask anywhere in my previous post if you were offended or not, and anyway it wasn't my intention to offend you so there's no need to be defensive. I don't know what you find so laughable and I don't see how I'm projecting anything here. Feel free to explain it to me but I'm not the only one here with this opinion about your last few posts in this thread. not sure what you mean by obviously hitting a nerve. I thought it was appropriate to respond to what you said cause you made a silly distinction between you and other fans based on your personal and subjective view of the band which maybe made you think that you are more of a Gn'R fan compared to others which is just not the case.

get over yourself. You're mixing 2 different opinions by 2 different posters. The poster you've responded to in this post just isn't into some of the antics of old Gn'R members. it's true that you shouldn't expect class acts across the board when it comes to Gn'R or many musicians in this genre from that era, but some of it was shit, some of their behavior was disgusting imho and just because it doesn't bother you as a fan or you can even relate to it, doesn't mean others that don't approve, are less real fans than you are or are not aware of what the band was about. Axl was violent to women, Izzy was a drug dealer. Those are things that are just part of life as well. Doesn't mean I should accept it as something that is not fucked up or that those are the only things that define Gn'R for me. where you get condescending is when you seem to get offended cause other fans don't like some aspects of the band that you have no issues with so you blame other fans for their shortcomings as fans while in reality it's probably you who should understand that not everyone that doesn't like the exact same shit in Gn'R that you do is somehow wrong and of a need of a Gn'R lesson. why don't you look at yourself before telling other people they're immature? just a suggestion since I found you last couple of posts very childish and gate keepish.

my alarm cool phone song, This is a masterpiece cover imho. Ace in the only one except Slash who took Jimmy Page's influence to such an energetic place. Ace is one of the best despite having limited technical ability.

iirc our first interaction. I wish I could say it was hazy, but I remember being a triggered idiot to you heh. The crazy years. I also remember you cracking jokes and lying about your opinion sarcastically. It's an interesting forum. Can't you hear it's Slash fuckin' wailing in there? there can only be one. you know me well

don't like it? can always fuck off

actually, he doesn't, it's Slash. the booklet crediting it to Izzy was a mistake.

it's abuse, but it's still 2 very different types of abuse. Different hardcore fans care about different aspects of the band members in Gn'R. A lot of fans can't help themselves and be interested in what exactly happened with Gn'R, the music and the lives of the members in the band so how do you decide what is appropriate to talk about and what is not? I get there is a creepy element of trying to understand details of the lives of celebrities you don't even know, but nowdays a lot of musicians themselves are opening up about shit they went through way more often and Axl has been open about it in the past, so I don't really see anything wrong with it as long as the boundries of it are still being respected by following forum rules and not be a fuckin' stalker or some shit.

it's in there

I like Gn'Rs particular blend of influences and how they took some of the best elements of AC/DC, Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Aerosmith, The Stones, The Sex Pistols, etc and made it totally their own and fresh sounding, especially with AFD. I also like it about bands like Gn'R, that every band member can only really do his own thing as opposed to some musicians who just do most of the writing or all of it themselves. (which I also like, but it's more a vision of one person or at least less band members) I think that it left room for each classic Gn'R member to provide their ingredient to the musical blend and balancing one another's influences and approach thanks to their flawless musical chemistry. in every classic Gn'R band member's solo catalog/new Gn'R/project that lack of balance is strogly felt imo in sound, approach, and taste that sometimes takes over the album and that's logical but in old Gn'R they often sounded like this one cohesive musical entity which had many interesting sides to it and that is part of the reason of how great it was imo.

that covers all men, but what hairstyle is ideal to all women? my first guess is bald.

Perhaps had a good reception I thought. The AC/DC stint is one of Axl's greatest moments imo. No one else was worthy to tackle it in my view and then Axl nailed it and he had to cover both the Bon Scott era and the Brian era reminding people that he was still one of the most talented singers in the genre. also, most people seem to like at least HS, Perhaps, and Monsters around the Gn'R forums it seems.

huh? should have fronted even more bands that year. (Kiss, Skid Row, Queen)
