    Maybe a stupid question - Chinese era related

    in 2011

    Posted

    i don't think so. the gnr problem is lack of ativity and publicity.

    The sad story is that gnr are touring some places they haven't toured since 2007 , and the general public are as much aware of who was in the band back then as they are now.

    Even the release of an album during that time resulted in very little if any public awareness of gnr whatsoever.

    It sucks to be a fan and know this, however to be someone in the actual band during this time (apart from Axl of course) surely must feel that time stands still when you"re not on stage (which is the only time when people can see that that person must be in gnr) and must feel make some members feel like. shit.

    And rightly so, there not all just session musicians (cue the cupcakes) and 2 years with THIS band is more than enough time to put together a plan to harness some type of fucking exposure.

    No wonder 95% of the band go off on their solo stuff when there's no tour cause touring seems to be the sole focus of this band, which is fine unless it starts running low on momentum and there's no real excitement appeal as the whole tour never really climax"s

    Will Rio be different or another wasted opportunity?

    Bro, like i said a lot of times...be a gnr fan is a huge task. but, anyways, i love the band. Rio will be more of the same.

    What will the reaction be to a new album

    spunko12345, people from brazil aren't normal for you?

    fuck you! suck my fuckin dick.

    Well, they aren't. Brazil is a fucked up place.

    However, that's not what he meant. He meant not normal in regards to their appetite for gnr.

    fucked up? our economy is going very well, for your information. either way you think about our country does not matter. see ya.

    1993: Axl tells the truth about Metallica

    in 2011

    LOL. Who said they can't play the classics? It's the HUGE reliance on the classics that's the problem. 15 years as their own band, and they only play 5 of their own songs, and 20 covers live at a show? Kinda pathetic...

    They've played more classic songs yes. They are Guns N' Roses after all, it would be disapointing for the audience to not include these songs.

    It's not quite as bad as you make it out to be though. I did the calculation, and they've played new songs 968 times, and classic songs 2587 times. That's new songs for 37.5% of the show.

    That was a nerd move... :krider:

    Bobo.....what say you? Those numbers do not quite add up to your outrageous exaggerated numbers.

    Appetite is one the biggest selling rock albums of all time. Why wouldn't they play a lot of it live?

    And both shows I went to they played 5-6 new songs, which is about the industry standard for concerts.

    The same thing I've been saying really.They've been a nu band since 1998, really. They play their nu songs for a small portion of a show. How was I "exaggerating"? This bands been a band longer than classic band was. When you rely on the classics to the point where they pretty much make up your whole show, that's purely a nostalgia act. What say you?

    It's BoBBo by the way.

    Since this thread is about Metallica... Do you consider them a nostalgia act as well?

    I mean, take the World Magnetic Tour. Six of the 25 most played songs on that tour was from Death Magnetic. I believe that's the norm for most bands touring on a new album.

    For the record I myself consider Metallica a relevant band today.

    Apples and oranges and you know it. Metallica releases music, and tours every few years. Three of the four members have played on every single album (yeah, I know about mustaine, but he never actually played on an album so I don't count em), and at least robbie boy has contributed to an album. Half of nu gnr is a cover band. Bumble, fortus, and frank BARELY contributed anything to chinese except bits and pieces of re-recording shit, and ashba hasn't contributed squat yet. AS OF NOW, and maybe somewhere down the road, it can change, they're just a cover band. How do you justify being a band for 14 years, much longer than the classic band was together, and only having a majority of anothers bands covers for your setlist? Its just laughable, I'm sorry.

    Has metallica played the exact same setlist from 2001? How many albums have metallica released since 1993? How many original (and by "original", I mean members that have played on every album) members are currently in the band? How many times have they toured since 1993?

    you're right man.

    All I know is "Some Kind of Monster" is the greatest rock doc of all time.

    If Ulrich, Hetfield, Hammett and Mustaine worked on new music, there would be no debate about Metallica delivering the best music of their career. They'd rather work with Lou Reed?

    Mustaine wants to create a supergroup with Lars, James and David Ellefson. In fact it's a great idea.

    "Some Kind of Monster" is great,fuckin good movie.

    I have in dvd and it's really cool.
