So many assumptions. So little understanding.

I do not like ballads. They are for soppy girls wearing pink jeans.

WHY YOU SO MUCH HATE?!?!?!

Jesus Christ, ARod.

I'll send dick pics to the final three entrants. Or not. Whichever is incentive.

He went to Axl's front gate, rhythm guitar in hand, but Dijon wouldn't let him in. As he walked away, he was heard saying something about how he didn't even know what a Ju Ju Hound was and that Yoda had won the war.

Going to watch deGrom pitch tomorrow.

Is this a new thing? We make threads pretending the forum has opinions it doesn't have?

What is that quote? Who is it?

Keep tilting at windmills, Miser. It's certainly fulfilled your life thus far.

There absolutely are negative things to call guys who sleep around. It's such a myth that there aren't. They have different goals and effects than the names called women, but if you think there aren't names for men, you've neither been nor been around a man who is open about having sex with a lot of women.

I honestly think the world needs more shame, not less.

At least dole it out fairly.

Absolutely. But we do have to spend some time thinking about how "fair" =/= "same". I'm not saying give license to guys to fuck everything and strap a chastity belt on girls when they turn 13, but let's be thoughtful, intelligent people about things and not just broad stroke homogenize everything because it's too complicated or uncomfortable to think about.

What's thoughtful and intelligent about the word 'skank'? A word there's no male equivalent of because men are allowed to fuck for the sake of fucking without being denigrated or assumed to be damaged goods. Outside of infidelity and any reckless behavior that could put an unwitting partner at risk, I don't see any reason for shame in any consensual sexual activity, and I certainly don't see why men and women should be held to such radically different standards.

As a film person, I assume you know that civilization itself is repression, mostly sexual repression. If you want complete sexual freedom as long as it's consensual with society having no right to form a negative opinion, we might as well just call it a day.

I need at least three or four of those Rita Oras.

Well it's been a few months since I've been laid. Think it's time to fire up the ol' Tindurrr again.

You're so booji sounding You get or got laid you dont been laid You're such a honky

It's a bit passive, no? Like getting laid is something that just kind of happens to you. It's been a few years since I had the flu.

famously said in all sincerity that his favourite song of all time was My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music

I kinda like it. It's like a musical.

Tommy can ya hear me?

Musicals are fine. Rock operas, imo, are not.

I kind of feel like Chinese Democracy is a big shitty rock opera.

How about this? Let's find anyone who literally believes Axl owes them an album and ban them. Fair?

OK. This is the official roll call for those of you who truly believe Axl owes you an album. Show yourselves or forever be doubted to exist!

I kinda like it. It's like a musical.

Let's get serious. I'm GNR's drummer.

When the interviewer tries to explain that he's simply saying the character is a trainwreck and that she's kind of "skanky" until she decides to change, Schumer doesn't like that, so she's like, "No, it's more that she's repeatedly hurting herself and people she cares about."

Congratulation, everyone. Now hurting yourself and people you care about is not nearly as bad as being a skank.

I'd have no problem if that's what he was doing.

I gladly read your essays everyday.

Can you just cut to the chase here Miser, I mean you've covered this bit and we all agree, no one expects better from Axl, thats established, OK...but what, what else, whats the point of all this, what are you getting at?

He's getting at:

I respect Corgan's opinion. He has more stroke in what he says then any other young rock star.

Yeah, he definitely seems like he's stroking himself when he speaks.

Funny how she gets offended, but when she told that Ryan Dunn joke at the Charlie Sheen Roast she didn't understand why people got upset. Hypocrite.

Are raisins a liability to Raisin Bran?

I don't know, do raisins:

-Come mega late to shows making the fans wait 4-5 hours, which encourages the bran to drink and drug it up to cope with the stress?

-Throw tantrums and go into 10 minute long rants on-stage

-Wear horrible outfits which make the band as a whole look lame

-Add unwanted members to the bran which dilute the sound of the bran, without consulting the bran

-Cancel shows based on the word of their psychic adviser

-Make the bran look it's the food of racists and bigots by including horrible, racist and homophobic sentiments on the box without consulting the bran

-Add bizarre unnecessary ingredients on top of the raisin bran which dilute and overpower the taste

-Take the brand name "Raisin Bran" for themselves, forcing the Bran to give them the name under duress

-Quit the bran, and then form a new bran which the other original bran members are allowed join as employees

-Does the Raisin make stupid juvenile songs like Shotgun Blues and Get in the Ring?

-Not rehearse with the bran

-Swim with dolphins in bizarre Raisin Bran commercials?

You missed the point. If you take out the raisins, it's no longer Raisin Bran, it's just bran. You can't take out one of the main ingredients of something and still claim it's the same thing. See NuGNR.

So what are you asking? If the other guys would have been better off ditching Axl and forming a new band? No. We kind of saw that with Velvet Revolver. Some people like it, I think it's boring, but what's undeniable is that it's not as good as GNR.

So when the Stones dumped Brian Jones for being a bipolar twit, they weren't the Stones anymore?

When AC/DC lost Bon Scott and carried on, they were no longer AC/DC?

I'm asking if by 1991, Axl was more of a liability to the band than an asset.

The band (without Axl even being present) had written and recorded instrumental form Civil War Locomotive, Don't Damn Me, Garden of Eden, Dust N' Bones and had already written Don't Cry, Coma and YCBM. You're telling me they couldn't have found a less mental singer to have added lyrics to those songs?

VR was a different story. It wasn't Slash, Izzy, and Duff. It was Slash, Duff and Matt. You weren't just missing Axl from the equation, you were missing Izzy who provided 90% of the songwriting and basis for riffs. In 1991, Izzy was still in the band and had they canned Axl probably would've stayed.

Without Axl in tow in 1991, you certainly wouldn't have had 3, 4 late starts or St. Louis or Montreal. Slash, Izzy, Duff and Matt could've continued on without him. You wouldn't have had the big Vegas band in 1992 or the Estranged video if Axl had been sacked.

You're a joke. Straight up. So the new persona this week is Axl was a liability and they should have dumped him? You're clearly trolling so I'm not even going to bother.

Things are so much better without Miser threads.

It's been my opinion growing the last few months, actually. Is it not possible for one's opinion to change over time? I was away from here completely for almost six months by choice, and in that time I did a lot of thinking. You seem to be very anti-Axl yourself, so to bash me for also not being a fan of Axl is odd.

You're an idiot. Go away.
