whatashame

they should do whatever keeps Axl want to do a tour

I wouldn't bother if I was half as rich as he is

go Axl

as stupid as it sounds, i'll use a simple analogy - Ashba quit GNR for some of the same reasons Zakk left Ozzy - what started as a side project got huge and could become a day job.

well, that and when you reach your forties, you don't need to piggyride your sugar daddy's back

sure i like it a lot and i own the album

the thing is, and i know it's really easy to misunderstand such strong words,

the big party of why i like those songs and listen to 'em is bikoz it's pre-gnr.

and it's very interesting to check this album out and put it into perspective when a die hard gnr fan listens to it

out of those you mentioned, Rocker is my fav.

but let's be honest - had it been any other band, i wouldn't have spent a goddamn cent on this music

so some of us heard this demo, allegedly of Hollywood Rose, playing "your looks are gone"

there was only one version of the song, incomplete, and souding as if rec under water.

we are talking about Kazaa times here, around 2001 was when I got a hold of this one

same time when Dangerous Toys's 'demon bell' circulated the p2p world claiming to be GNR's unreleased track

now, I know it "your looks are gone" probably isn't HR at all bikoz this song is great and all the other songs of theirs were shit

so there's that

but what I really wanna know is,

as of 2015, does anyone finally know who wrote and rec that song?

I'd love to get a hold of the original - the song rules

Well its called Interaction with the Audience? Myles is a great vocalist, way better than what Axl is nowdays, some people compare him with Axl, both of them are different people.

you just did

" I'm not always butt hurt, but when I am I talk Izzy"

yeah, Marco Mendoza

Associated acts Blue Murder, John Sykes, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Soul SirkUS, Whitesnake, Black Star Riders, The Dead Daisies

you raised an interesting point - 'typical Axl'

well, then agai, doesn't Axl have people who are on the payroll to meet deadlines?

Sure he has. A legal army. The legend says he sues people all the time.

My bet is, Axl resigned from the trademark to Stay of Execusion but it was easier for him to ignore it and not keep the deadline, than fill in more paper work sayin "yea I resign anyway"

it's a work of that, that's what it is

and it's music

I'm sure you're not limited to 3-4 mins radio frendly songs, structured with a formula of a verse, verse,chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, fade.

I would love to recommend you more tracks of Buckethead,

the thing is, you shouldn't ask for specific tracks.
Buckethead drops a new album every three days, it's impossible to single out too many tracks

and also it's not unsual for him to release a box of 13 CDs of ALL new material, naming tracks CD1 TRACK 01, CD1 TRACK 02, CD1 TRACK 03, etc

I think you either get it or you don't,

the main difference between,say, GNR's Sorry, Estranged or Nov Rain is that they absord your attention and you , as stupid as it sounds, LISTEN to them, follow the lyrics, picture the story in your head (some GNR lyrics are narratives)

the subjective genius I find in BH's music is that his songs listen to me

they serve as a background to my running thoughts

they fit my mood

they are the soundtrack to MY movie, not Axl's

and you can't mock his songs being "not songs, just solos" - you'd have to say the same about Chopin and Mozart for that matter

Pitman should switch to kee-tar

we'd have 2 in 1

the only great thing about the new songs is Axl Rose vocal melodies and lyrics and all the grandiose and technical and whatever rest of it is just as boring as a Buckethead guitar solo?

please enlight me

please show me *one* song from buckethead that is *half* as good as a GNR song

thanks in advance

PM me with your crack dealer pager number, please

after the extended touring time, and lineup changes, there usually is a re-grouping period of about roughly up to two years maximum

i don't have a problem with Axl being Axl

and I have absolutely no doubts he is THE MAN

I listen to Axl's music a lot and I love the energy I get from it,

the moment you don't like what Axl does (or doesn't), represends and stands for - just go away,

don't bug him to change himself, and especially on a message board

and also I look up to Axl bikoz he lives his life on his own terms

no matter what happens , how much more money is on the table, and what "people say

here I would like to post this old picture of Axl wearing a "fuck everybody"baseball cap, but I can't find it

just picture it

without reading the previous pages

you go and listen to this

starts 38;25 , Weiland sings Slither in 2014

then ask about VR reunion again

if Izzy is such a genius, shouldn't he already have mastered the guitar and finally play the lead?

I mean, it's not 1985 and he doesn't compete against young Slash

it's 2015 - and now that Izzy has been sober for 26 years, he's had a lot more time to practice

if he still has to play rhytm, behind Duff... um...

I didn't say Slash and Clowns WROTE the song together to diss Axl

I wanted to say that Slash wanted to be a part of the song BIKOZ the lyrics might remind him of Axl

DJ Ashba likes to show off his Las Vegas mansion, with pools, bars, drive ways , Death Rides and what nots.

Ashba toured with GNR for about 5 years and has no royalties from albums.

Sure he played on 1 succesful Sixx Am CD before he joined, but that's not enough to enjoy such a lifestyle, methinks.

Frank has played drums with GNR since 2006 - 9 years now.

He's gotta be rich, we're talkin hundreds of shows , even if they pay him 10 grands a show.

Has he ever shown his house on instagram or smth?

I'm intrusive, I'm sorry, I love Frank and I'm just curious.

It's my broken dreams speaking rite now

some people , especially Slash, didn't like Axl ranting but I do and always have

I BY FAR prefer to listen to him say what's on his mind, and which emotions motive(d) him on any given night to stand there on the stage, then to, say, listen to My Michelle or OTGet Me

Axl stands for something and that makes him special

I hate when frontmen just sing, like Myles.

Axl wrote those songs to get the stuff off his chest

maybe it wasn't for you to hear - as stupid as it sounds

we don't even know what the guy does on a single day basis

plays xbox? watches tv all day?

maybe he enjoys being rich and fat, and what's it to us?

4tus will bring in a new guy and in two years they'll do a tour - south america and some festivals here and there to get the check

's all

maybe Ashba was kicked out bikoz Beta wasn't sitting on the computer for a second and Axl decided to use it while she's gone and he finally heard that Ashba's Better Remixed that leaked so many years ago?

all the bullshit aside, I don't understand people who say Ashba left in such a lovely way.

I mean, sure, a handwritten letter, yay. 3 pages, pencil and a copy book.

A letter which actually says a whole lotta jackshit diddly squat about why and when.

Bumblefoot have said -THE SAME- things 100 times more in his multiple interviews over the last couple of months

not a BAD word this guy said (Ron)

and I think he didn't officially said "It's over" bikoz he gave the band an ultimatum - 1 yr of his life for GNR, 1 yr off (or similar) - and now he's gotta get his 1-2 years off and he's gonna choose the replecement , his new sidekick.

btw,

1. maybe Axl wanted him out?

1. and what if it was actually AXL that wanted Ashba out? Say, for whatever reason. Axl was dissapointed in the long run.

Axl doesn't have to always be the one that people run away from.

2. NO TO REUNION

I still say - AFD Reunion would be the BIGGEST, the most fake and the most bogus dissapointment in the history of rock n roll.

It's no secret in today's AFD squad nobody likes nobody . I can't really see them onstage "being into it" ('cept Adler)

AFD Reunion 2015 would be a LOT more phony than GNR 2.0

A LOT

3. Axl's still on top of things

a lotta sunday rockers despise what Axl did with GNR, but I dig the hell out of it.

It's Axl's way or the highway. You try live your life this way, with your bank loans, shotgun weddings, bosses and what nots.

4. No spring chicken

I really believe the reunion would destroy the fond memories, like sleeping with your ex when you're both 50 and realizing she her ass ain't 20 no mo and it's best to spank the monkey watching them old photos.

5. Bring back Bucket and let's do this thang

how can you say nobody would be into a reunion when slash,Duff, and Steven are saying they would do it for the right reasons, and we the fans are exactly that.

I see no difference in Ashba joinin GNR for the check and leaving today and AFD reunion

besides, just realize the two scenarios

1. the band hates each other offstage and pretends on stage to be friends (OLD GNR never did that)

2. the band hates each other on and off the stage (cliques - Steven vs Duff + Slash vs Axl, and no where's Izzy)

there is no other way
