    "climbs on the fucking stage or you will die!"

    the Denver-area promoter admits the pistol was in his pocket when Mr. Rose left Mile High Stadium on Guns N' Roses' co-headlining show with Metallica. Fey is FULL OF YARNS about his years promoting shows, and he's just penned a book, Backstage Past.

    My colleague Dave Herrera, music editor at Denver's Westword, caught up with Fey recently and got him to tell a few tales that didn't make the book. The conversation is well worth a read.

    Rest assured, we hear Axl has been showing up -- and sticking around -- for gigs these days. So if you haven't gotten your ticket to see Guns at KeyArena on December 16, feel good about making that purchase over the weekend.

    Help GNR???

    Axl follows earning lots of money based only on the past. and we have to help the GNR?

    He does have to help us, depositing some money in our accounts every month.
    GNR fans should be paid in cash, as we have no new materials or prospects. We're the most patient fans in the world ... would not say stupid, but patients.

    New Duff interview: VR plans, New Documentary

    in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS

    Posted · Edited by auad

    I've always said, and I repeat once more.
    Scott is the only guy for VR.
    Contraband is the best that has been done by people who were part of the original lineup of GNR. It's even better than Chinese.

    Looking back ...
    "Before you start cracking wise about out-of-work refugees from multiplatinum bands or rock stars with drug problems and arrest records — as if we haven't seen a few of them in the last half-century — consider this: Singer Scott Weiland, late of Stone Temple Pilots, and the ex-Guns n' Roses trio of guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum have, with second guitarist Dave Kushner, gotten more done in one year as Velvet Revolver than Axl Rose has achieved with his version of G n' R in the past decade. If nothing else, banging your head to Contraband's snarling update of Eighties Sunset Strip rock classicism is a lot better than laying around waiting for the mythical Chinese Democracy.

    Contraband is, in fact, tighter and hotter in construction and attack than we had any right to expect from a band that started out auditioning vocalists while being filmed for a VH1 reality show."

    THAL Says Playing With DUFF MCKAGAN Was 'Cool'

    in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS

    Episode 22 of "One On One With Mitch Lafon" features an interview with GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal. You can now listen to the chat using the Spreaker widget below.

    Asked what it was like sharing the stage with original GUNS N' ROSES bassist Duff McKagan at five GUNS N' ROSES concerts in South America and the Revolver Golden Gods awards show in Los Angeles in April, Thal said: "It was not my first time playing with Duff. When LOADED came to New York in 2009 when they were touring, I jammed with them. He has joined us [GUNS N' ROSES] on stage a couple of times in the past few years, but we'd never done an entire show together, and we did half a dozen in South America, we did Golden Gods. It's nice. It's cool playing with him. He's rock solid and he's just a sweetheart of a guy and just a good person to play with."

    He continued: "Musicians and other musicians… it's, like, you just enjoy playing with different people and you just love the experience, but you don't think of it in the context of, like, as a a fan, saying, 'Wow! I can't believe I'm playing with this person.' You almost think of it at this musical level where you're both musicians and you're just kind of vibing out as musicians and you don't think about that stuff. So, even, what was it, like, half a year ago, I played with Ace [Frehley] and Peter [Criss], and doing 'Hooligan' with Peter, he hadn't played that song in, like, 30 years, and as a KISS fan, I would be peeing in my pants, I'd be, like, 'Oh my God! I can't believe I'm playing with this guy.' But when you're on the stage, it's more like you're just focused on the song and connecting musically and just getting a real kick out of that and having fun with it, and you don't think about the rest."

    Thal told Rolling Stone last year that there is music ready to go for GUNS N' ROSES' follow-up to 2008's "Chinese Democracy". He explained, "There's a lot of stuff, it's just a question of all of us organizing. We're still doing shows, and I think once we clear our schedule and focus more on new music, it'll happen. We just have little things on the back burner, just waiting for the right time for us to organize and make something new out of it. Hopefully we can make more music — that's what it's about."

    Thal believes that the group's fans want to hear something new from GUNS too, saying, "They want new music, and we can do it. It's not that we're done. I'm not ready for that. We need to keep making music. We have a great band that's ready to do it and can do it well."

    Auad's Song: Lugar Seguro

    in MY WORLD

    Posted

    I have no idea what you guys are singing about but I like the song nonetheless!

    Estou sentado na calçada

    Sem decidir o que pensar

    Se retorna a residência

    Espero o dia clarear

    Quero voar mais baixo

    No horizonte encontrar

    Encontrar lugar seguro

    Onde eu possa habitar

    Aqui em cima tudo é cinza

    Existem luzes a piscar

    E a leveza me domina

    Espero o dia clarear

    Quero voar mais alto

    No horizonte encontrar

    Encontrar lugar seguro

    Onde eu possa habitar

    ----------------------------

    I'm sitting on the sidewalk

    Without deciding what to think

    If returns to residence

    I hope daybreak

    I want to fly lower

    Find the horizon

    Find a safe place

    Where I may dwell

    Up here everything is gray

    There are lights flashing

    And the lightness dominates me

    I hope daybreak

    I want to fly higher

    Find the horizon

    Find a safe place

    Where I may dwell

    The killswitch is where the treble/rhythm is supposed to be and the toggle is on the bottom... what? But hey, I'd play it if someone gave it to me.

    personally I like it that way, 1 Volume is a bit easier than 2, heck even buckethead has a similar setupBucket-Head-LP.jpg

    Well that's an informed decision, as opposed to DJ's "fuck man, swag, I don't get two volume knobs, that's like twice as many knobs."

    1987 Metal Hammer review on AFD

    in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS

    Posted

    This is from a 2003 interview with David Ling:

    What has been your most embarrassing moment?

    Writing a poor review of Guns N' Roses debut album, `Appetite For Destruction', in Metal Hammer. I felt it was patchy and unoriginal when compared to existing names like Aerosmith and Cinderella. I've since revised that opinion - given the way it's still played in clubs I had no bloody choice - though I still consider Guns N' Roses to be one of the most overrated bands around.

    this.

    1987 Metal Hammer review on AFD

    in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS

    Posted · Edited by auad

    In the northern summer of 1987, the British journalist DAVE LING reviewed the then recently released 'Appetite For Destruction' for the English edition of the magazine METAL HAMMER, and by the way, was not very impresse.

    1354720171_appetitefordestruction.jpg

    The dreaded Los Angeles quintet releases its debut album. With a pinch of Hanoi (Rocks), a little (Johnny) Thunders and a portion of Aerosmith, which Guns N 'Roses is bringing has very little to do with the 80. Everything starts with the magnificent' Welcome to the Jungle ', summarizing the whole area and the squalor of the entire catalog of Aerosmith in four pulsating minutes. The guitars scream for attention and W. Axl Rose spits lyrics with more than just a resemblance to Steven Tyler.

    'Jungle' is a good start but except for 'Paradise City' (surely the bastard son of 'Train Kept a Rollin'), there is much to increase levels of arousal. From 'It's So Easy', things get extremely predictable.

    The letters GN'R satisfied perpetuating the essential theme of off-the-law of rock n 'roll (' Out Ta Get Me '), binge (' Night Train ') . There is a really classic verse in 'Mr. Brownstone 'saying' I Get Up around seven / I get out of bed around nine ', which pretty much sums up the attitude of the band towards life.

    Two great tracks and some decent ideas are not a great record. If GN'R serious about bringing the blues 80 pros, then they need to forget 70. What they are doing here is no different from 'Rocks' or 'Draw The Line' and honestly, not as good.
