  1. These days, McKagan, Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler aren't in the band, leaving Axl Rose as the only original member of the group that produced "Welcome To The Jungle," "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "November Rain."

    Hahahahaha didn't even mention Slash.

  2. Just think, Zakk could have been IN GnR if it weren't for the fuckin' lawyers

    Actually it was Slash. Slash didn't like having to compete as lead guitarist and didn't think it sounded GNR to have two loud guitar players at once. He liked having a more laid back and submissive rhythm guitarist.

  3. I agree. I know it was many people's "darkest hour," but I actually enjoyed Rock in Rio. I took my computer to the lounge at my college and stayed up the whole night for that livestream just watching it myself since no one else here's a fan. It was worth it for me, first entire concert I "watched" through, I sang along, etc.

  4. The "You know it's true" scream in IRS, the final closing scream in Ain't It Fun, the rapid-fire verse in You Could Be Mine, the fast verses of Garden of Eden, the There Was a Time screams, the final parts of Street of Dreams, and of course, the Welcome to the Jungle scream. He impresses me a lot.

    I think he tends to shine the most on the endings of the songs where he breaks away from verse and chorus and just freewheels it - Coma, Rocket Queen, Catcher in the Rye, even the smaller ones in Sorry and Chinese Democracy. I used to not like Catcher in the Rye much but I'd skip to the final 2 minutes to hear that, and with Coma, I just put it too about 3 minutes left when I don't have time for the full song.

  5. Agreed. I always thought the quotes section was most interesting and that the rest was a little boring. But Madagascar's grown on me a lot (I used to always skip it), just like most other GnR songs that I dislike at first. And it's epic when played live.

  6. Yes, sure, right after they spend 12 minutes debating who to put first between Geezer Butler and Steve Harris in the "Top 5 Most Evil Bassist Ever" list.

    :rolleyes:

    Sid Vicious not in that Top 5 somehow? Or does he not really qualify as a bassist?

  7. I screamed for the ass hole song at Sweden rock festival in 2010. Axl was sitting at the Piano and he heard me, waved a "no" with his pointing finger. maybe he chuckled and said no as well. don't really remember tbh. some guys behind me didn't know what the ass hole song was and wondered if i meant "one in a million" :D

    Haha, I haven't heard of this before and I was wondering, "Get in the Ring? One in a Million?" before I clicked.

  8. Good effort, Packers, a lot of thought went into that cupcake.

    Axl doesn't need to be coddled and protected from the meanies of the Internet, if he feels like it he's more than capable of dealing with a few assholes.

    We'd all love to hear from you, Axl. Whenever you feel like it.

    I hope you weren't referring to me as a cupcake, as I'm a huge Axl supporter here. It's obviously a joke.

    Oh, sorry. Rookie mistake. I'm kinda new here.

  9. The intro scream in WTTJ.

    Love the intro scream but it doesn't really seem to be a reliable indicator, he can deliver a monster of a scream and then be breathless for the rest of the song....VMA of course comes to mind among others. Of course, at other times kickass scream is followed by a kickass performance, and then everything's golden

  10. Read some of the archived stuff, he loves Halloween and dressing up. Think I recall reading him dressing as a pig one year.

    Gotta be careful with the glove, knowing his moves on stage he'd get carried away and be slicing himself or someone else up.

    I vote for Dr. Pepper mascot. But he couldn't sing or dance shit in that.

  11. GnR used to be a bunch of kids who lived on the streets, got shit on by everyone around them, went dancing with Mr. Brownstone.

    Now they're rich, they've got mansions, private jets, fancy dinners. Doing things the way they used to would just be faked. It'd just be being fucking assholes.
