 I was listening to some performances from 2011 and found myself amazed with Axl's vocals in Riff Raff, Axl sounded amazing in this performance, should I say he sounded even better than he did in 2010, focusing more in the voice quality over the raspy's strength.

 From the last concerts of 2010 onwards he focused on his clean "mickey mouse" voice, but when he wanted to pull some raspy he did it incredibly well.

 

Please recommend me some RASPY performances from 2011-2014.

From memory...

Chile 2011, the Forum 2011 (there's a proshot), NY Hiro Ballroom 2012 (few proshots), House of Blues in LA 2012 (Dead Flowers, Mama Kin on the setlist), Vegas Residency 2012 early shows, Bethlehem 2014, Vegas Residency 2014 the last two shows (unbelievable great). The US 2011 tour and the Europe 2012 tour were fairly decent overall. 2013 wasn't particularly a great year.

Fantastic.

The video shoot happened in February, this photo leaked at the time.

You've been drinking too much of the fake news media kool-aid.

From Sarah Huckabee's new book :

November Rain was also played at the Michigan rally tonight.

Very cool new song from Blue Oyster Cult. Old School.

I think they sometimes work to great effect, like in the heavy parts of Prostitute. And maybe my least favourite examples are from the leaks - the full version of Hard School and Going Down have these odd intros that, to me, feel completely unrelated to the songs.

The saying goes that 'A camel is a horse made by a committee.' CD has some camel aspects for sure.

The heavy parts of Prostitute work superbly imo.

yes, I very much agree. Part of it is what makes this album very cool.

I have an image in my mind of a goth Finck in stilettos, arguing with BH via Buckets' hand puppet named Herbie. Which is rumoured to have happened in Philly before the riot. One of my favourite things! 

Huh, I like that hook. One of the more traditional Guns parts on the entire album if you ask me. Reminiscent of Garden of Eden, to my ears.

lmao Buckethead, that's the beauty of him, he didn't gve a shit.

I think the hook doesn't fit very well. The entire album has plenty of moments like that, the odd parts.

He went on to work with the Brain/Bucket/Sacaturo/Melissa camp for Electric Cinema. 

I feel like he's popped up with various people form that camp in addition to Electric Cinema? Possibly he appears on one of the Kind Regards albums? I could be wrong about that part though.

Usually I defer to you on this stuff - but I know he's done at least some wok with them for sure. Its the only post CD music from him that Im aware of.

I remember that, eclectic cinema. Decent stuff.

BH and Finck disliked one another.

Fortus wrote the chorus hook for one of the more liked tracks on CD, Better. And was already acquainted with Tommy and Freese iirc.

BH, Brain and their crew wrote some material. Separately and earlier, Finck worked with Paul, Dizzy, Freese and Tommy.

(Interesting to note that Paul ended up on Team BH/Brain)

 

Musically it worked but it was, however, a bit of a freak show. Finck probably hated Buckethead because he stole the spotlight.

The chorus hook is absolutely the worst thing about the song. It is a simple three chords riff that sounds like garbage.

Lets be honest, the only reason Fortus is still there instead of Ron is because they couldn't have a guy in the band who would've shown up Slash. 

The only reason is because the band need a yes man who looks like Izzy. 

If if he thinks the 2002 lineup had no chemistry then the current line-up has even less chemistry because there is no chemistry between him and Slash/Duff.

It is worth noting that it was him only that had no chemistry with the 2002 lineup. Buckethead, Finck and Brain had somehing great going on and they essentially wrote Chinese Democracy whereas Fortus wrote absolutely nothing. Also Bumblefoot was the only good thing to remember about the 2009 lineup.

Look back on the death of bon scott and the joining of brian johnson.

Amazing it happened only 6 weeks after Bons death. 

They probably steal his lyrics to do Back In Black because no song has ever sounded the same lyrically since that album.

I kinda like it. There's not a lot of guitars in the EDM world and it works decently there.

I love how you cant even understand how what I said is perfectly on topic.  

Do you want to know what is not on topic? That Sky Cinema is playing the movie Alien... Because that means it hasnt been cancelled. 

So much seething 

Dude whatever you say. Inclusive language good, orange man bad. You are free to express your opinion that's all that matters to me honestly.

You support a party that lies about the pandemic and gaslights those who use facts. Thats the Trump regime.

You do understand that twitter and liberals arent the Party though, right? Pure propaganda, when the evidence presented dos not support that claim made about the evidence.

The Party actually does falsify reality when it says things like 'America is handling the pandemic really well and only fake news says otherwise.' And you support that. 

The Party is instantly recognizable, the Party is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It's the liberal dream world.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Personally, I cannot stand it. It seems nearly every day, someone, some company or some product is "cancelled" because they said or did something that offended someone. 

Companies only obey to the mighty dollar.

Cancel culture has always existed. But now it's not MSM who is the primary influence for it, it's social media.

However country-wide few people use social media platforms, so it creates a mob culture that decides what's right and wrong. Then MSM amplifies it.

People on social media are becoming more and more sensitive, mostly about things that don't matter or impact their daily life. It's a very unhealthy mindset considering most of them are cattles under 25 and do not have a fully developed brain. That's how the brainwashing starts.

"With the movie industry, they were, like, 'We want a song for the movie, and this is the description of the part.' So we wrote something, and we turned it in, and we don't hear back for weeks, for months. And then they're, like, 'Yeah, well, the director doesn't really like this part' — I guess like a 20-second clip — and he's, like, 'Yeah, he doesn't like this. Can you change this?' And I'm, like, 'No. I can't. I'm not changing it. I'm sorry. Don't use the song then.' I was pissed. They were, like, 'They wanted more like an AC/DC style,' and I'm, like, 'Then fucking call AC/DC.'

"We wrote a killer fucking song, and the music director of the movie, he's the one that chose us, he loves the song, but the director is, like, 'Well, this is clashing with that,'" he added. "I'm, like, 'You've had it for months. Why didn't you tell us months ago?' Especially now with the pandemic, nobody's in the same room together. It's not like we all live in the same studio and we can just pull stuff out of our ass all day long."

Vienna stands out. I thought it was a great cover.

Can't believe Chinese Democracy is twelve years old. Time flies.

I don't expect them to release a new record any time soon since they will rely on selling physical records but Fernando lies by making it look like we could have had a record by now if it wasn't for the current pandemic. Bullshit.
