    Which other rock band plays 3h+ shows?

    Damn, these 60yr old guys giving their fans all their guts.

    I know some bands play like 1h30, 1h45 - if Guns did this, I would feel like being robbed and hit in the face at the same time

    Been on Iron Maiden like a month ago. Great concert, super spectacle and it was only 2h show, it was great and I agree with you who still plays 3,5h show :)

    people at home bitchin about while concertgoers enjoy :)

  3. Yes I would, in a heartbeat!

    its a good fucking song, music is great and his voice is amazing, mean, bitter and exploding in the end!

    I was 13 when I first heard it and was blown away by the power of Axl's voice!

    even thought my English wasn't good, I heard most of these troubled "words" and never thought of them as people think now. Always thought it must have been something that he has gone through

    so yeah, I would definitely play it for others and it is the best song on LIES, for me!

    shame, IDLES, Fontaines D.C., Post Animal, Kikagaku Moyu, Black Midi, Thee Oh Sees, Pond, Pottery, King Gizzard - most of the innovative and exciting new rock these days is in the post-punk or psych space. Pretty much every band that is hailed as the new rock-n-roll saviors are mad boring to me.


     

    send me some more bands like this, or similar, I would appreciate it cause I am in search for new things :)

    PM if you want

     

  5. About ABSURD

    Few days ago I send the song to my friend that I grew up with. He is musician and he sold me in 1994 AFD vinyl with banned cover for a 2 join* and 5 beers (good old teenage times :))))

    his father was also musician so he grew up with diverse kind of music. Now he likes Rammstein, Linkin park, Behemoth and also punk rock from 80's-90's (just to introduce you about him)

    i didn't tell him nothing about the background of the ABSURD that we all know here, just told him ,,new GnR song"

    he really liked the song, different approach, new sounds and new sound of gnr, it really rocks he said, straight ,,punch in the face" punk attitude! And he said he would be glad if they release album in similar fashion  

    I also remembered when VR released Contraband. Many of my friends who liked a little bit heavier/darker sound than GnR were amazed by the riffs, guitars and they especially praised Matt's drumming :)

    so whatever gnr releases in near future, it will get new fans, I am sure. We, the old ones, we will not change our love about them. 
    and I for sure, do not want another AFD or UYI, well not in that kind but something on "steroids"... like I felt with Contraband :)

  6. I just watched again Fenway gig and Absurd and I was literally laughing my ass off when Axl sang ,,screaming fucking banshees" and pointing finger directly to the crowd :)))

    my guess is... they never cared, from their begining, what others think, they just do it their way.  And that is what draw me to them from the first time in 1991. 
     

    so I will just enjoy the ride and enjoy the life in its fullness :)

    It is not comparable at all. Back then, we had to rely on magazines; there was no internet, no Twitter, social media. There wasn’t much music on TV (of this sort), people’s imagination ran at full speed. We only had a few videos, if any. The musicians were… more rare to us. Imagine if The Beatles formed today – there’s no way they’d be surrounded by such hysteria like back then. If you wanted to see the show in the 90s, you had to physically go. No YouTube, no Periscopes, or Facebook. When a musician made an interview to address some media bullshit, it was a big deal. There weren’t shitloads of new bands spamming your channels every day with tons of diverse weird music, and us swiping them away, bored. Compare it to dating 30 years ago and Tinder today. 
    I think the chick with the binoculars in Rio (was it 91 or 01?) sums it all up nicely. Can you imagine this today? Folks will watch close-ups on YouTube instead. We are spoiled, there’s too much of everything, and our attention and minds are shattered by thousands of dull tidbits from celebrities as well as by other information spam from the internet. 
    Basically, there is more stuff, spreading with incredible speed these days, and so the times before the internet cannot be truly compared with today, regardless of what the particular theme is. 

    The best godamn reply I have read in the last 10 years and it is brilliant, thank you :)

    You mean like he hpv vaccine. Why wouldn't you get a vaccine to limit your risks 

    What risks? Risk of being healthy person for the last 2 decades? 

    Or to take unregistered experimental iRNK vaccine for unisolated virus and risk of getting something unknown?

    why would you get it?

    Rock in rio 91

    They go from double talking jive to jungle 

    A very long "you gonna dieeee" from Axl and in the last second Slash starts the riff ...

     

    Goosebumps

    Absolutely agreeeeee!

    godfather theme into DTJ and then .... explosion!

    Nobody actually thinks that. Its just because Axl is always the villian for everything. Axl Rose saving AC/DC  and shutting the haters up will always top anything Myles "Dying Cat" Kennedy will ever do

    Hey man, you missed the point!

    no one is hater here!

    Axl saved Ac/dc, improved his stage lateness, sings for more than 3hours which is unbelievable and we all love him here!

    he is not serious about releasing albums

    Myles is a ,,dying cat"? Common, man! You may not like him as a singer but to name him like that is childish! 
     

    and do not talk in the name of everyone saying ,,nobody" - you can speak for yourself or at least majority but I highly doubt it. 
     

    when you put all the differences aside, they are both great singers, that is the truth!

     

    now do not get in war with me because that is not my goal here :)

    GNR fans everywhere will forever owe a debt of gratitude to Myles Kennedy.

    In a pre-reunion world where it looked like Axl/Slash would never share the stage again he was  responsible for Slash being able to revisit the GNR catalog again in ways he hadn't been able to in the 15+ year period after he left the band.

    GNR is a notoriously hard band to cover without sounding like bad karaoke, so Slash was essentially limited over the years to the "easy" ones like Brownstone and It's so Easy that can be more easily handled. 

    Myles range however let him thread that needle of having a guy who can credibly sing the songs without sounding like he's trying to be an Axl impersonator or  lead a cover band. People don't appreciate how hard that is to do, and the fact he is  the first guy Slash trusted in that way since leaving GNR  should tell you how much he respects his talent.

    As someone who just missed the band's height before breaking up in 93 (I was born in 81) it was thrilling to finally get to hear Slash playing SCOM,Nightrain, Civil War, YCBM  and others on a nightly basis after fearing I might never get a chance to see him do it live.

    I finally got to see GNR with the reunion, but will always be thankful Slash found Myles at a time when I was wondering if I would ever get to see Slash rip through the  GNR classics and  have them sound damn good in  the process.

    Myles took an impossible assignment and more than credibly pulled it off without ever looking like DJ Ashba parody trying to be Slash when faced with a similar task. He was humble, sang the songs, and never tried to be something he's not and I think that is  why people respected Slash's band the way they did as it never came off as trying to be a GNR cover band even when they were playing the songs (musically they actually sound more like GNR did than GNR does these days).

    I stand by that much of the supposed backlash on this board against Myles was because  deep down in places people don't want to admit they knew he was doing a good job and wished like hell Axl would be  a professional like that who took it as seriously, keeps himself in shape, looking good and sounding good despite growing older. Axl wouldn't have become the butt of jokes as he has if he took his job even half as seriously as Myles does. The constant attacks on the  guy in these parts actually struck me more as the school yard kid who goes up and harasses  the girl he really likes while telling anyone who will listen how much he hates her.

    Thank you for this post, man!

    it is beautifully written and you said it all as it should be - Myles stepping in, Slash revitalizing GnR songs and Axl's unseriousnes!
