Fuck yeah! Axl,kiss some ass and get FMN to open for Guns.

Well, it would probably be the other way around!

that's what i thought

He has a disliking for 70s retro rock. Like it's been done before.

but it hasn't been done since, not this good.. as good as the wolfs' do it

i saw them at melbourne sound relief.. they stole the show, imo This guys voice rocks and the band were tight-as. They sound as good live as their albums.. better.

what happened to Whitney, i heard she got her shit together.

(don't know if it's exactly as you described, is this what you mean tho?

Thanks!

Mine is identical to that except it has the breasts censored, while my friend has one that has the different quotes on the cover. I actually bought this on LP right when it came out, and it was censored, so I wonder how many of these uncensored ones are out there.

Very cool!

don't know man, they must have censored it pretty quick. google it?

and the rear:

Spandau Ballet now! M'god, they're all reuniting...

Slash Hudson's pneumonia was induced by Cher's Vegas show, the mind boggles.

Fergie is a Grade A minger!

alright i give up

well i reckon fergie's a dud. an she was alright in the BEPs

GN'R Lies on vinyl

Hollywood Rose on vinyl (does that count?)

UYI II on cassette

My GN'R t-shirt i bought from the bootleggers outside the concert one night:

i imagine if they were real the seller would stress that, i only checked two. one of them said it was official, the other didn't/

Prince, because Michael lost the plot & Prince handled fame with finesse.

Plus Prince is more indie.

i had so many of their records when i was a kid. (Theirs was the first record i ever bought.) i think i used to pay around 70c for an LP.

very kool band for a 13yo in the 70s

waters rulez

Agreed, I always like the era where "Waters" had more control than everyone else.

"Dark Side Of The Moon"/"Wish You Were Here"/"Animals"/The Wall"/"The Final Cut"

"Gilmour" may have sang on many of the songs and played those fantastic solos, but "Waters" wrote the lyrics, the fantastic bass, and had more of a producers role than the actual producers.

From "Dark Side" onwards was "Gilmours" own words.

Agreed agreed.

Love the final cut.. wow.

I would have thought that a Nobel prize in literature guaranteed you some cross-cultural readership. I'm part Ukrainian, part Slovenian. There used to be an hour long show in Slovenia called Knjiga mene briga ("Books concern me"), on which people from various literary, psychological and sociological fields would discuss various interpretations of a given novel each week, and one of their most popular episodes dealt with Die Klavierspielerin, so catching reruns of that at my grandmother's while I was in Slovenia was what first sparked my interest. I've read nearly all of Jelinek's work since, although a significant portion of her stage plays remains impossible to find, at least where I've been to. I couldn't even find all of her work while I was involved with Erasmus in Austria, but at least she seems to be aware of this problem herself, because she has been publishing all her new prose on her official website since 2007. As a sidenote, I seem to have the exact same problem with Helmut Krausser, who unfortunately hasn't been publishing anything online as far as I know, and which is a terrible shame because I love them both to bits.

way to go

for a minute there i thought: these guys can't read, it says books

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K LeGuinne is pretty good - speculative fiction/fantasy.

well just to get this out of the way, I pay for all my music (not saying you were inferring me in any way)

My son bought CD for me here in australia and it cost $50.00

The vinyl is thick & heavy. The sound quality is good, but I have a lot of vinyl and I've heard better in some of the older releases. With the thinner more flexible records, the needle seems to stay in the grooves better. Dunno, maybe it's just me. But it's not only CD.. all of the new release records are the same.

So by a worse quality vinyl today than before, why would you not advocate a new medium instead of trying to force an old one to work again?

well I do have a lot of cds. I also have a nano. But I have a lot of records, and a lot of them originals, as I started listening to them when i was 13. It's a sweet nostalgia to relive something you're fond of, especially when it's all but vanished from life. If you were in my shoes, you might do the same. And besides, the new vinyl isn't that bad. It's quite good in all respect, I was just comparing and commenting about it. No biggie.

CDs are already dying. They're currently in vegetable state.

They had the longest run out of anything. Longer than vinyl, cassette, cylinders, anything. So it's obvious they'll be dying now.

Within the next 5-10 years they might as well be completely gone. They might be around in very small quantity like vinyl is, but digital downloads will replace them.

That is where the music industry is heading, into the digital age. It would already be there if the dinosaurs in charge weren't so stubborn & stuck in the past.

They need to find some way to work with the internet age, not against it (which will just lead people to download illegally more frequently).

Rickroses: a majority of people won't buy vinyl though. I only know 2 people my age with turntables, so why would they waste their money on vinyl? And vinyl has become expensive too. $20 for Chinese on vinyl is outrages, why would you pay $20 for an album? And the vinyl was horrible quality on top of it.

I do like vinyl, and like it around, and I EXPECT a digital download with a copy of new vinyl, but there should be ways to get it without purchasing expensive vinyl too.

i think people might buy it, back to black is 180 gram so the quality kicks ass, dunno where you bought cd on vinyl from but it shoulda been 180 gram, dunno why you got horrible quality. but $20 for 180 gram vinyl isnt that bad. plus a download, high res artwork, if i like the band i'd buy it. i think most people that pay $15 for a new cd wouldnt mind paying an extra $5 for that. and the people that use torrents or sites like free-albums.net or whatever arent gonna pay for music no matter what, so they shouldnt be focused on anyway.

i think your post is pretty accurate. The CD vinyl is too thick.

I don't think cd's will die as long as there are old people. You'd have a hard time telling an old person how to download music on to an Ipod, you know? Some newer albums may see digital only releases, but Sinatra's greatest hit's will be on cd for at least the next 10 years.

There will always be something physical. Even if it's something like SD cards you put in a player.

well there was a time when old ppl had to learn to use cd's. Before that there were cassettes, before that reel to reel tapes and b4 that came the vinyl. I've been through the whole range of all these things (well my parents used the reel to reel) but I still prefer vinyl. There's something about the turning of the table, it gives motion to the music which you just don't get from that perfect crisp cd sound. I like cd's too, but they just don't have the 'life' of vinyl.

RickRoses: this is the way it should be until they can find something with better quality than vinyl that you could put on a computer

I knew there was software to put your vinyl on digital, but I never realised it was poor quality. I had a cassette player put into my car so I can tape all my records and play them in my car. It's not the best quality but as I said above, sometimes the realness of something beats perfection, imo.

Kevin and HV, you guys are just confusing me.

they're talking about cars

Maybe when the band arrive in Perth later this month I can convince Brandon to come visit me at my home where we will share tea and scones before he plays an acoustic version of the song for me.

can i come.. i like tea and scones

edit: I promise i'll leave straight after the song :wink:

I haven't heard the new album yet, but I can definitely tell you that they have brought out at least one great album since Achtung Baby: All that you can't leave behind.

Also, I really like Atomic Bomb.

all that you can't leave behind is good
