What's really amazing to me is how someone can be a fan of Axl Rose and be such a woke, politically correct, soft little bitch. Seriously. It's beyond me.

This, i think people confuse sexual harassement with rape.

These days, simply looking at a woman can be considered sexual harassment. Soon, you won't even be able to enter the same room without asking for permission.

Bon Jovi can suck my dick.

Maybe to some. I was 11 in 1993 and to me and my friends and kids a few years older, they were the coolest thing in the world and definitely not our dad's band. Now I can imagine that to some kids in their late teens or 20s they had become perhaps more laughable because of the changing climate in rock music, but it wasn't that way for everyone. Not too different from Aerosmith, and they were more popular than ever in the mid 90s. 

Popular music begins and ends with high school and college students. I was a freshman in high school in 1995. There was only one kid other than me who wore GNR shirts, and he was a complete fucking loser. He use to call my name in class all the time and be like, hey... guess what me and my friend did over the weekend? Then he would go on to tell me they got high or drunk and jammed to Guns N Roses etc. But it was always said as if it were a dirty secret, because by then, in the US, GNR was lame. It was NIN, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains... stuff like that. GNR might as well have been Poison. It was that antiquated.

Only one worth owning is the original Lies with the wife-beating headline and the uncensored girl. The rest, you're better off with the original CD, imo.

Between 1993-1997 Guns N Roses was considered to be your dad's band. Outdated, silly, laughable... a joke. Axl was considered to be a washed-up asshole who shit away an empire because of a galaxy-sized ego.

Unless it's from the mid-nineties when Slash was still there, I could not give less of a damn. Seriously. This has all gotten to the point where it feels like someone heading out to the graveyard at midnight to dig up a loved one's corpse. We've done it enough, now. It's over. Let it go.

Either get Izzy back (at least in the writing room) and make a brand new hard rock album from scratch or retire. Enough is enough.

I think this deserves a seperate thread...

The General digital release mix is clipping like crazy and it's for sure not meant to be like that. Problem seems to be with the bassdrum. No idea how it got released like this, but it needs to be fixed

Most all modern music is dynamically crushed. The kids seem to love it.

I thought we all agreed that short shorts, mustaches and mullets were hideous on men. But then the kids decided otherwise, and combined them all to the point of literally looking like clowns.

Fashion makes no sense.

I quit.

I feel like if Axl tried to sing even one more AC/DC track, his vocal cords may literally fly out of his throat and never return. He can barely singing GNR tracks. lol

That's Sheila's friend Suzy, I believe.

What does that have to do with what I said? I disagree, btw. Obviously it would be better not to wait 30 years, but I don't think there should be any statute of limitations when it comes to sexual assault.

I'm not talking about statues. I'm talking psychology. If it happened, why wait thirty years? If it happened, and you wait thirty years before filing, what do you have to gain, other than money? The deed is done. The damage done. So there is nothing to gain but notoriety and money... which in unsightly. If this happened, she needed to sue right away when he was one of, it not the biggest front man in the world. By waiting this long, nothing is accomplished, and your case is going to end up being about as thin as a sheet of warmed-over wax paper. There is no evidence now, only hearsay.  It makes no sense.

In the documentary, Sheila said she was 22 when she and her friend saw Axl at the club (her exact words: "I think I was 22"). That's a bit strange, considering that in February 1989 she would have been 26, almost 27. I don't know what to make of it. Is she just bad at math?

You don't wait thirty fucking years to sue. Even if it did happen... you just don't. If this actually happened, then the damage is done, and no amount of "money" is going to help her. So this really is just about someone wanting a payout, victim or not.

My thoughts now are the same as they were back then: it's one of the greatest solo albums of all time. The only difference? Back then, you were up for corporal punishment for saying so. Now? It's mostly a-okay. Go figure.

I think Slash wanted to come back to Gn'R earlier, but one of the main reasons it didn't happen sooner was that Axl was still not ready. I mean... the guy called Slash a killer as late as 2010 iirc. A Reunion in 2010 could have been brilliant.

It's a crime we never got to hear that mid-to-late 90's album. Hell, we've never even heard leaks of the stuff.

I will forever be confused by them waiting a billion years to (sort of) get back together. They wasted their best years, then decided to gig in their worst years and write and record zero new music. It makes no sense. None.

It's a civil case but the statue of limitations on rape in New York (state where lawsuit was filed) is 20 years, so criminal charges cannot be brought up.

Edit from the article:

The suit was brought through New York’s Adult Survivors Act, a law that has waived the statute of limitations on sexual misconduct claims for civil suits.

I have no idea how rape could be proven at this point anyway. It's he said, she said. Nothing more.

This. I remember seeing Motley Crue in 2010 a week or so after Nikki Sixx and Kat Von D broke up. Dude looked like he wasn't even present. Going through the motions would have been putting it lightly. 

Well, when everything is basically piped in via backing tracks, it's kind of a given you're gonna slack off.

Get Axl to have surgery/training on his throat and get a trainer/nutritionist to force him to slim down so he can perform better. I'd then pay Izzy whatever he wants and swap him in for Richard. I'd also swap Steven in for Frank, can Melissa and Dizzy, because they are pointless, and tell everyone to release a down and dirty classic rock album. We would release it within the same calendar year. After that, tour the world. Done and done.

I still err on the side of the woman... but after Depp vs. Herd, it's no longer automatic.

Not a fan of either Marshall or Magnatone. Gimme a Fender Bassman best amp ever.

I have a Twin Reverb, so I second this notion. As far as tube amps, Fenders are so versatile. Great pedal platforms too.

So let me get this straight that dude is a singer but instead of singing himself he rather be a music journalist talking about other singers that actually do sing, right?

How long until people start making reaction videos to reaction videos? Or is that a thing already?

 

 

I've actually called him out on this. I accused him of basically just finding people to shit on for clickbait. He responded by denying it. Then, literally less than twenty-four hours later, he made another video, shitting on people with a provocative title. After that, I was out. I haven't watched another video since.

If I could go back in time and see the Illusion band, I'd wait for however long he wanted to take. If he felt like getting a full eight hour sleep, that would be fine by me. Some things are worth it, and THAT show was worth it.

Did I miss something? Was this a leak? There's nothing on Apple Music.
