  1. I also wanna add, Slash doing stuff like this keeps his brand (and GNR by proxy) alive in the minds of younger generations. Even though Slash had been away from GNR for two decades, doing stuff like the Super Bowl, Oscars, guesting on people's albums, interviews with media, go a long way toward staying relevant to the general public. Cool performance btw. I loved it.
  2. Dope. No Chicago date though. Closest would be Michigan or Cincinnati. I'll probably make the drive.
  3. You guys are so lame with these opinions. God forbid a GNR fan watches a one-minute video of Slash doing a solo at the Oscars. You might lose your cred as a hard rocker ... or something.
  4. Slash flew all the way home from South Korea to do the Oscars, and then flying to Philippines. That’s a ton of miles. I enjoyed seeing him on the Oscars.
  5. Thought it was just OK first listen. After a couple more, I like it. This is gonna be a fun album to vibe to. I want a print of that cover too.
  6. LOL at the speculation Axl is on the only song without a credited guest. This fuckin’ forum. But come on … it’s funny Axl didn’t guest on this at all, but showed up for freakin’ Bugs Bunny cartoon.
  7. Actually I am and probably will open it. I just bought a new audio video receiver, and put up an additional couple speakers. I’d like to hear the CD version surrounded by speakers. 😂
  8. lol no clue how it sounds! I kept it wrapped. But yeah, I preordered that vinyl day one, and it says it was made in Czech Republic. Not sure if the pixelated ones also came from there or were packaged elsewhere.
  9. The Decemberists released their first new song in, I believe, six years. It's called "Burial Ground." It's a nice song. I was reading other people's opinions on it, and this sounded familiar: Without pulling any punches: this mix is ass. Like just toggle between this song and any decemberists song from the past and even if you know nothing about mixing, you'll hear how murky and strange this sounds and how clean the old productions sound by comparison. And Audible hard clipping/digital distortion too. Like beyond anything that makes any sense as a "creative decision". the lyrics are mid and repetitive, and the entire sound is incredibly derivative.
  10. My Perhaps vinyl and CD are not pixelated. So that could have been a legitimate fuck-up from the printing company. Who knows.
  11. She re-recorded her albums so she can control the rights to the those recordings. She encourages her fan base to listen to "Taylor's Version" of the albums to undermine the studio. I applaud her for this, and she is popular enough to convince her fans to do right by the work she should own and profit off of. And it doesn't matter how many Taylor Swift songs you can name. It's not about you, boo.
  12. “Not in this lifetime” tour name was a nod to Axl’s response to a GNR reunion way back when. I actually like “What could have been” as the name for a new Guns N’ Roses album. A nod to the wasted years.
  13. I’m looking forward to seeing Sublime if they end up doing dates beyond Coachella. I saw Sublime w/Rome, and it was fine. I like their original material too. But seeing Bud and Eric with Nowell’s kid would be pretty cool.
  14. Dang. Even Billy Joel just released a new song that is actually new and not old, vaulted material.
  15. I was listening to the Chinese remixes today by Brain. “This I Love” and “If the World” goes hard. I love the hip hop beats. A shame it was yet another project that never saw the light of day.
  16. Will "Rock the Rock" stand as the last song Axl ever recorded in studio? lol
  17. I was with ya till the bit about not listening to new music. I have a voracious appetite for music, and I still enjoy a ton of newly-released music across many genres. But yeah, I am convinced lists like this one are basically made to be controversial and get people fired up. I have to also add that "You Oughtta Know" by Alanis is a banger. Just a monster of a song. Giving it to "More Human Than Human" makes no fuckin' sense whatsoever.
  18. The leak is the big fuck-up. They sat on this for no reason. Should have been the first banger out of the gates. The comeback song, IMO. Not "Absurd," not "Hard Skool" with the goddamn bell. "Soul Monster." And don't get me wrong, I dig "Absurd." I love "Hard Skool" and "Perhaps." I like "The General." But the comeback song was "Soul Monster," and it's the song that (beyond the cell leak snippet in abysmal quality) no one had ever heard before. I know "The General" is the ACTUAL one of the four released that we hadn't previously heard, but that's not as accessible and catchy as "Monsters." The surprise this month shouldn't have been "The General" video. It should have been a surprise drop of "Monsters" with a video. I would have been much kinder on the dumb AI. lol
  19. I still plan to get the Illusions box set. I have been waiting for the vinyl version to come down in price. On Instagram, GNR posted concept art for "The General." The art is cool. The concept is cool. I just don't like the AI execution of the video.
  20. No. I bought one when it dropped to $399 (and also used a 10 percent off promo code). I complained to them that the original cabinet had parts that were coming unglued, so I asked about an exchange. They sent me an empty cabinet and didn’t want the original back. So I kept both, one for storing extra GNR memorabilia. It’s become even more unglued since (the top piece mostly, but I think I’d be able to glue it back).
  21. I got my Perhaps CD from Amazon. Now it sits unopened in my second Locked N' Loaded cabinet alongside the Perhaps vinyl. As you can see, I enjoy spending gobs of money on Guns N' Roses.
  22. This forum would have exploded if Duff said Axl liked it, or wrote a line for it or whatever.
  23. I'm late to the party. Is the next Slash album another solo project and unrelated to the Conspirators?
