The Glow Inc.

I suppose it might be funny to someone who has never heard of Buckethead before the skit.

I usually like Conan but this just falls flat on its face if you know Bucket...

Compare that press release to the overly-enthusiastic press release when DJ joined and you'll see the difference immediately.

Slash and Duff : former members who regrouped with founding member Axl Rose

Dj Ashba : a gifted, enregetic guitarist that GnR is proud to have on board, who brings a fresh approach to their particular brand of mayhem

. . .

EDIT : to be fair though, the press release calls the lineup "iconic".

I hope Axl doesn't suddenly become self conscious right before the tour...like he has in the past.

This reunion makes the Ashba "living the dream" moments even more hilarious in retrospect...

I do 20 hours of actual teaching per week, even though I spend more time than that at my school. I get paid more or less 2300 euros for that so I can't complain ( plus I have a lot of free time and two weeks of vacations every six or seven weeks so... ).

He reminds me of :

Maybe they actually tried to see whether having the original five on board was possible and it turned out that Izzy was too flaky and Steven was simply not worth the risk ?

Neither of them seem to have changed much in the last twenty years so...

For what it's worth, three days ago, a friend of Fortus posted on Facebook that he heard that 'apparently the Gnr reunion will be a blend between the classic lineup and the latest Gnr lineup, interesting'.

Fortus liked his status.

Can you show us the link to this?

Can't because it simply appeared in my feed and I can't remember the name of the guy who posted it. However I recall Richard interacting with him in the past so I don't think he's just a facebook friend. It seemed that he knew the guy.

Don't get married to an emotionally unstable woman. Also, don't get married if you are emotionally unstable yourself.

I wouldn't get married at all.

I don't know, I tend to see it in terms of self control.

You could pretty much call me anything and I'd be like "cool story bro".

I don't know...I don't believe in any religion but I do believe in some spiritual ideas.

However, if someone disrespected my spiritual beliefs, I wouldn't feel anything at all because believing brings me peace and someone calling it bullshit wouldn't be enough to shake my faith at all.

I can't figure out why most believers get so pissed when that happens. Do they really need their "faith" validated by other people ? What kind of faith is that then...?

Not really surprised as he seemed to have hit rock bottom during this tour but still fucking sad to hear this and that he couldn't win against his demons...

The problem is that "it was just a dream" is a really cheap scenaristic device people use in case of a major fuckup so they can backtrack...

Everybody knows those movies weren't intended as "just dreams". It's just as retarded as the Colonial Marines explanation for Hicks being alive and there being a facehugger on the Sulaco...

The United States are part of the coallition, of course something like this would happen on american soil sooner or later...

Butchering handicapped kids, wow, that's a new low even for them.

Ok, maybe not "cancelled" but "on indefinite hold".

Apparently it would have featured Newt as the main character and Hicks as support...which, whether people like Alien 3 or not, doesn't make any sense ( though I would have loved seeing it ).

Didn't you hear ? The Blomkamp movie was cancelled...

Mark my words : those three prequels won't be made.

The next movie will probably tank and the franchise will go to sleep once again...until someone resurrects it again with an half-baked idea instead of a full blown reboot.

I think you should think of it more in terms of whether "it" has consciousness or not instead of whether it is just a collection of cells.

Any way you look at it, you can't let an "Islamic State" happen at the doors of Europe so something will need to be done and there aren't a thousand ways to go about it unfortunately...

Really liked this.

France also just sent an aircraft carrier with 24 more airplanes in the area.

Apparently the plan is to triple the bombings.

The sad reality is that people from the West are more or less accustomed to people from the East, the Middle-East and from Africa slaughtering each other on a regular basis.

While I'd like to believe most of us would like it to be different, we are desensitized to the news of yet another massacre.

Now we are beginning to smell the coffee.

I think France should pass new laws to warrant full powers to authorities so they can dismantle Djihadist circles on its territory.

I mean, what's the use of having 4000 people on French soil listed as potential terrorists with clear radical connections if you can't do anything about them until they actually start a massacre ?

Find a workaround, pass a law and do something about those guys.

In the meantime, work on a middle ground with Russia and the US and find a strategy because one day or another, that Islamic State shit will have to be cleaned one way or another, on its own battleground.

Sure, France could stay away; we could all stay away, and just let they handle this problem themselves. I disagree.

And it would do nothing to stop the attacks in France anyways since :

-ISIS is hell bent on "conquering Europe"

-France is seen as one of their main targets after the Charlie Hebdo caricatures and the Hijab controversy

So yeah, while France "could" ignore what is happening in Syria, it wouldn't change a thing, these things would still happen.
