Women complaining about men again? How is this news?

I think Lenny and critics are stuck in the 80s. I don't know anyone old enough to use the pisser who thinks wrestling is real.

It's because you guys simply dislike it yet you don't really have an argument to discredit pro wrestling as an entertainment spectacle except the age-old platitudes "wrestling is for dummies" or "it's fake". We get it ladies, you're too high brow for wrestling. Move on would you?

I'm not defending wrestling's honor. Just the core of the argument. There are so many fictional situations designed to appear real on television, singling out wrestling is silly.

It could pretend to be a sport, a show about two trannies arguing, or people freebasing into a friggin volcano -- it's the same premise -- convincing the audience it's real so they make an emotional connection to it. Otherwise, theater, film, literature -- anything with a contrived narrative is pointless. Wrestling is no different. They just use different smoke and mirrors.

When ya look like that, what are your job prospects?

- bartender

- graphic design

- kitchen staff

- stripper

- mechanic?

Yeah but films dont masquerade as a sport.

You've managed to completely miss the point. Why watch something fabricated at all?

Television, movies.... The Avengers didn't occur in our world, did it? Robert Downey Jr. doesn't really have the capability to fire lasers out of his hands. Chris Hemsworth isn't really a god from another dimension. That all seems a little silly to me. Someone tell these "adults" it's not real. Why watch something that was scripted, with a pre-determined finish? Same with The Daily Show that masquerades as a news show, or The Blair Witch Project that masquerades as a documentary. Big Brother that masquerades as a completely, unscripted, spontaneous thing. Fake, fake, fake & fake.

Holy shit, I never realised the paradox of Appetite.

On the surface, it's super dirty, nasty, and sexual. But if you look below that, there's this incredible musicianship, deep funk grooves, and an ear for subtly. Something you would never expect from a group that identified as "sleaze rock".

It's a rock 'n' roll album made by a bunch of music nerds who happened to be on lots of uppers. To note, Izzy's acoustic guitar, and harmonics in "Think About You"; Duff's and Steven's work on "Rocket Queen", "My Michelle", and "It's So Easy"; plus the funkiest cut on the record -- "Mr. Brownstone". Come to think of it, the original band (Steven included) were misunderstood geniuses in their own way.

Appetite For Destruction is like if....Sly & The Family Stone, Iggy Pop, and Lynard Skynard had a baby, and the delivering nurse was a raging Beach Boys fan.

Didn't Axl write all the parts?

"Today is Rex Manning Day!"I will never forget her in Empire Records.

There was a time when religion actually progressed mankind into the arts, and sciences. As contrary as that may seem now where religion, and science could not be more divorced.

Religion is passé in modern day society. Everything goes in cycles.

Anyone here ever been involved in an affair?

Thrice. Bruised my conscience and....penis. Overall, I would not endorse it.

He completely exposed news media. He's self-righteous, charismatic, and loud. And he rubs people the wrong way. He fills a void. I don't mind 'em poking the big bear with a stick now, and then. He's a fun diversion, and his vocabulary is impressive for a famous person.

Fucking brokenhearted beyond belief lately over the sweetest girl I ever met. Made me realize I probably hadn't been really in love since I was 17, and I'm 29 now.

Nothing heals that pain like a younger, hotter girlfriend.

Nothing anyone does or says is gonna make you feel better, so just strap in and brace yourself for some horrible fucking misery and agony for the foreseeable future.

Your love/heartbreak of that person is more of a reflection of you rather than her. Sociopaths don't fall in love for that very reason. Think about that for a second.

Dude, I'm a pretty young guy (late twenties.) So around your age. I've dated every kind of woman you could imagine. I've dated rich women, poor women, smart women, dumb women, hot women, school teachers, film producers, writers, dancers, cashiers, waitresses, bartenders, business chicks. Women with issues, women without. I've dated ladies from North America, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Point being, I've dated my fair share on this cardiovascular, elliptical machine called life.

We run into people (social accidents), we take those accidents and make something outta them. Hopefully, we find somebody who puts up with us, and we put up with them for a little bit. And sometimes we find an orgasm, a detour from quotidian misery or even the big one: complacent, internal bliss. Sometimes, we make big choices like kids, and marriage. But even then nothing is truly permanent.

I'm not sure what you mean when you said you weren't sure if you were in love. You should expand on that. Otherwise, I'm gonna presume you loved this woman immensely.

But the best thing to do is not to listen to Axl crying over Stephanie Seymour ballads, get drunk, or light a candle vigil, or even listen to a stranger's advice on the internet (ha.) The best thing to do is take all that elemental love you have for her, and redirect it into yourself. You deserve your own love, more than she does. That may be checking out a concert, making some badass food, having a blast with some friends, getting laid, or maybe reading a book on a cold Friday night. Misery is a process you have to ebb, and flow out of. It's unavoidable, but these are ways you can make your life a lil bit easier. Just my two pence.

Not pink enough

This is our new Minister of Health. Does he look healthy enough for his position?

Where's Waldo!

I've read Chinese Whispers several times and it's an awesome read.

But there is still no PROOF. All the indications were that the hold up was cause Axl wasn't recording vocals. Hours and hours and hours of instrumentals with no vocals laid down.

When we got the leaks in 2006, and then later versions, and even later versions, there were obviously layers added to the music but the vocals all remained the same.

Everyone ASSUMED that the earliest versions were from 1999 and ASSUMED they knew who was in the band and playing what on which version of the leak. Hell, people label the leaks as "TWAT 99" or "TWAT Anti-quiet" but the truth is, we don't know who was playing what. It's all an educated guess.

Unless of course you actually have an interview with Chris Pitman where he confirms which version of the leak was recorded when and where and by whom? And can anyone else verify that information?

There were clips of Chinese Democracy, The Blues, and Madagascar in a radio promo for the Boston show in 2002. So we know those vocals were done before then. IRS was played on Eddie Trunk in 2003, so we know that was recorded before then.

Yup, plus the early demos of TWAT, IRS and Catcher didn't have Bucket (he joined the band in '00). So the vocals must've been recorded before then.

It's solid. Logue rocks!

Birds Of Prey, anyone?

*splash*

Haha.

Alex Jones? Really? REALLY?

Another conspiracy theory is it?

This is about legislation to protect corporations' rights. I'm not sure what conspiracy you're talking about.

Aren't you the fella who posts stories about E.T., and Zionist conspiracies?

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a plurilateral trade agreement that changes patent laws (on a global scale), and limits piracy.

This is the second draft of the document released yesterday. Various news sites have editorialised, and inferred differing points on the draft. Ranging from the mundane, to the hyperbolic.

-

The two editorial sites I referenced above are very anti-TPP. I sought a news media site with a pro-TPP editorial, but I have yet to find anything. I don't like to offer opinions to these sorts of topics, but this is a very, very, bad thing. I have some friends in "Doctors Without Borders", and they do not like the implications for the medical community. It enriches corporate interests on an unprecedented level. Some of the countries participating are the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, China and New Zealand. This document was (allegedly) not intended for public discourse, due to its very controversial text.

The "best" pro-TPP argument I have heard is "the U.S. wants to protect its patents in light of the 3-D printer's capabilities, and China's knock-off market". Even still, China's been selling cheap rip-offs for decades, and the 3-D printer is a relatively new, and scarce thing.

Is this the future of the band?

Axl is eating lamb dinners, playing eighteen holes, and buying Angelo Glasso jeans (clothes implicitly designed for regal homosexuals).

Where's the new music Mr. Rose? And are we getting Team Brazil baby tees (my nephew is an eighteen monther.)

I'd rather Duff stay with something that coerces him into making new music.

I'm sure that 15 year-old demo outtake of "Thyme" that's been re-recorded, mixed, and mastered thirty times is totally sweet -- but something tells me anything whatever happens in Axl's studio ends up like Prince's music.

Anyone else not feeling Season 4?
