Lose Your Illusions

Manets i think u mean well but u cant say "heres a Buckethead interview" then say and hour or so later "it may be real."

c'mon man..

Hi Guys,

is it really so that there's no Bad Apples LIVE show on youtube or anywhere...? There's one "official" vid but for me it looks like dont'cry ...

WbR,

Jimmy from Finland

Sadly there is only audio of Guns playing it live.

thats them rehearsing it in Tokyo, closest thing we can get to an actualy video of it being played live.

can u hook us up with a link saying he said all of that?

Probs my favourite of the vids I got... Ashba's Ballad of Death Solo:

HD version should show up in an hour if it hasn't yet.

"C'mon he's playing his ass off" at 3:00 haha gotta love him.

Meh. I think he is enjoying life from what I've seen but likes to keep out of the public eye (nothing wrong with that)

But thats not intresting enough is it? We have to put a big spin on everything.

it makes me sick how this only has 90,000 or so views

I cant see a video. I click 'watch here' at the bottom or whatever and the page reloads. nothing happens

edit: meant on that daily newspaper site

Same with me.

Video here now..

for those who can't view it...

Axl is keeping the language clean. I need to take a lesson from him.

How was the security, any shit about bringing cameras into the venue?

Nope. You can bring cameras - just no "professional" gear or "video recording devices". Point and click cameras were fine - they gave us more shit about water bottles than anything else.

I was happy with the setlist and the crowd loved the show in the end

Agreed - and you and I both knew which songs were coming next. Guys, this was essentially a big country town. I shit you not, more than half the people I spoke to yesterday had only just found out Slash wasn't in the band. They wanted to hear the hits! I'm not saying the new songs weren't well recieved (Sorry and TIL went down really well, got some huge cheers), but if they'd played a set of new stuff, they would have lost the crowd halfway through. The length? Unless they had gone on earlier, they couldn't have played any longer. By midnight, I couldn't stand anymore - I would have had to leave, and I think a lot of people were feeling drained. We'd already had 30 mins from Shihad and an hour from Korn, 2 hours from Guns was perfect otherwise it would have dragged a bit.

I checked some of the phone videos - video is perfect, audio is useless. You can hear some parts in Sorry, but most of it is distorted by the heavy bass at the front. Tad disappointed. That song was my highlight of the night and I don't even like it all that much on the album.

Whats the deal with Korn? Lets be honest GNR, new or old dont mix well with them. Did some of the fans show up late or were the Korn and Guns fans more or less seperate?

Chris is in Rio too, I don't know what for, maybe he just came to see his wife family, just vacation, or not...

girls face in the second picture!

And the age of fake insiders has begun once more!

I predict that "insiders" most of whom weren't even born when GNR ruled the world, will continue to post bullshit. Lawsuits preventing them from touring? Maybe too high of a guarantee prevents them from touring the US. Outside of NYC/LA, GNR wouldn't sell more than 5,000 tickets in most markets.

Regardless of age that guy knew what he was talking about. Thats a fact.

Yeah that guy I actually consider an insider so i'm feeling good about 2011

Alright so whats the difference between a epiphone Les Paul and a Gibson les paul? I know the Gibson one is the real deal in all but in terms of sound whats the difference? Is it that big of difference?

Activision didnt follow their contract and Axl is taking them to court for it. Seems fair to me.

but hey lets get this to 30 pages!! i predict on page..lets say page 32 the word "reunion" will be mention 15 times! Any other predictions?

COOL

jk add me up

Cool vid.

But one wonders if Dr.Pepper themselves did not believe that CD would be released at all considering the facts that

1. giving everyone a free soda in the United States..hmm wouldnt that hurt the company?

2. you had to register at their website to get one, and what do u know the website was pulled. So if you think about it, they pulled the plug on the whole thing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey have any of u people ever played CITR backwards?? im doing it now, sounds awesome. seriously. with out vocals that is.

Seinfeld and GNR?!? is there something wrong with me?!?!

I highly doubt that Axl knew Slash's mom had cancer at the time of that comment considering the fact that the two had absolutley zero contact for 12 years up to 2009 the year he made that comment.

And I would also like to say that if we made a poll here, on this forum say a week before Axl made the "cancer remark" that was titled "Do You Think Axl Knows Slashs Mother Has Cancer?" it would be an overwhelming "No."

Didnt Axl's grandmother pass away from cancer too? Regardless, I still doubt Axl knew that Slashs mom had cancer let alone know if she was still alive at all.

Axl's Mother Sharon E. Bailey succumbed to cancer in 1996, the word was used as a connotation not a denotation, and Ola had not told anyone about her illness.

Wow so if Ola did not tell anyone about having cancer (besides Slash i'm assuming) then Slash knowingly lies about Axl knowing and making that comment??

Fortus worked with NSync. Gee I guess that type of thing doesn't bother Axl after all.

big difference between just going in the studio and laying down a guitar part (and probably not even meeting the members) than going on stage/making songs on your solo album, commercials etc.

How do you know he didn't meet the members of NSync? Either was it is lame.

I dont know if he did. Chances are he did not. Either if he did or not that doesnt take away the fact that he was simply laying down a guitar part and not going on stage/making songs on your solo album, commercials etc. like your beloved hero. I hate turning this into a Slash vs. new gnr thing but you asked for it champ.

anybody know what program he was using? or is that some high tech studio gizmo?

MEH.

I dont care about the general public and I hate to assume what Axl thinks but i dont he does not either!

CD was in stock in Best Buy and u either bought or did not. Simple.

Why dont I care what the general public thinks?? Is it because CD "did not sell well"? No. Look at what music is popular today for information.

You can agree it sucks or not, that is not the point. The point is CD does not fit into anything the general public looks for in music. For the most part.
