This has the potential to be great provided everyone is on top of their game. Obviously the Dave vs. Sammy debate could go on endlessl.

No comparison.

Dave was/is an extremely talented showman/ lead singer and entertainer with a great octave range.

Hagar is a marginally talented at best dirtbag poser.

Actually, Zint, I foccus on this line:

Along with a possible POLICE reunion, it would likely be among the year's biggest box-office draws.

VH is well and good, and I will likely see them if possible, but FUCKING A! If the Police tour? I saw Sting about 2 years ago. His solo material straight up sucked, but even with his halfass backing band of session musicians, the Police stuff rocked the house. Getting those three together would be sheer perfection.

Stings solo stuff makes me want to slit my wrists, jump off a bridge and down a bottle of pills all simultaneously to make sure the pain ends.

CLICK!

Hell yes....I think!

*stifles yawn*

#1 from all accounts the show started at 12:05, #2 why are you blacked out, are you in witness protection?

#3 the ron account of Merck/Axl's letters is the most important detail of your whole story and its missing?! LOL

#1 - It was 12:29 on my watch

#2 - It's just not my thing to put myself (face)out in the internet community), I knew someone who had a bad experience.

#3 - It'll come back to me and when It does I'll write it down so I won't forget again.

A *bad* experience on the internet?

Now that seems highly unlikely.

He looks the best hes looked in a while.

I just wish hed smile again.

He hasnt smiled in like 12 years.

Shes a hagged out crack whore now.

If you dont have Zeppelin's BBC Sessions, you must get it. All live, acoustic recordings.

Robert plants voice is so pure and beautiful that it sounded better live than recorded.

This is rare.

I've seen BBC sessions around quite a bit, is it all really acoustic? I personally think Page is twice as good acoustic.

It is all live.

Anyway, if you are a Zep fan you have to own it.

Its mindalteringly beautiful, to me anyway. Just so pure.

Cool.

I need "In Through The Out Door" first however.

No.

Do what I said and get BBC first.

JBJ has an awesome voice, Sambora is better at playing guitar and doing his amazing backvocals. Tbh, I think it's the right way round.

You probably have only heard him sing backup to Jon Bon idiot, or you wouldnt be saying this.

Whoa, I've just been listening to "Strangers in this Town" his first solo album.

The guy should be doing "Bon Jovi"'s vocals. Not Jon Bon Jovi, what a gorgeous voice. And the guitar work on his solo stuff is truly amazing. What a lovely, artistic album. Amazing stuff.

Its a little known fact that Sambora has a a stunningly beautiful voice, far superior to Bon Jovi's.

I heard an acoustic of him singing Dead or Alive with just his voice and his guitar and I swear it knocked my socks off.

What is up with the fact that it hasnt been put out there more over the years?

I admire his humility, in taking the backseat to Jon all these years.

People don't buy a GNR concert ticket or a GNR album to listen to NIN kind of music !

So what ? I don't buy a GN'R record when I want to listen to indus music ! Other bands do it better !

You understand ?

I think you need to calm down and go to bed.

NIN has some good music, but this picture truley shows what a homo Trent is.

??? How so? He looks like a professional football player or something to me wearing all black. If trent looks like a homo, what do you think of Budkethead?

I never said he looked like a homo, even though he does. But that's besides the point. It was more of a statement of how he is, homo. I don't expect you to understand. It's alright.

On a side note, I am suprised he is not fellating the entire band in this picture.

That was some sweet damage control Sparkle!

To be fair, Sparkle, you don't know where his right hand is, and the guy to his right looks a little surprised.

Also, you may be ahead of my record for lowest per day post count for a super god. Where the hell have you been?

haha, true that. Oh I have been around. Lurking with the occasional bust your balls post. Same 'ol same 'ol. Although the demos have brought some life back to me, I may have to resume my posting duties and ball busting to it's previous level.

I was thinking the same, as far as pursuing my former status, but I find I just dont care like I used to...Im content to lay low and wait for Axl to stimulate me with this new stuff, I just dont wanna have to talk bout it too much like I used to...meh /:

Thanks Rk, Ill check it now.

PerezHilton.com reader Meg had the uniqe "opportunity" to meet Guns 'N' Roses frontman Axl Rose last week, and she lived to tell about it.

This is what she reported back:

"This is Axl Rose (standing next to my boyfriend and a bunch of English teenagers) at JFK airport last Thursday. He was very pleasant and cool to talk to.

I'm assuming he was heading to Europe as we were in the British Airways terminal. Since he's allegedly coming out with a new album this spring, I figured that a celeb gossip aficionado like you might enjoy seeing what he's up to."

Definitely!

It was worth it just to see what he looks like these days.

rocked and here you can seeeeeee wikid music trip guys!

we met axl rose on the way back

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...blogID=89767308

His eyes look dead and he never smiles anymore.

He needs some good lovin' I think.

And the general feel is that these two clips Better and TWAT are Oasis kind of music. the beginning of Better is almost like eminems song.

Then we're up shit creek

Yeah, but IRS and The Blues are like nothing else. They´re the best...the intense part of IRS is IRFS good!! And you know when it´s GNFR good it´s good!!

youre an idiot...

dont waste our time with stating the obvious. and then being a dick whensome one differs from your initial [shitty] opinion.

ex:

WHAT? No way man! It´s more like Locomotive definitely!

Haha...that was a funny putdown...I liked his "example"

Sorry, REL but it was a tad early in the thread to be using "angry smiley"

I swear I have no tolerance for young GnR fans who tell those of us who have been here since the beggining to "have a little patience", that we are "negative" et al.

See, weve been where you are in your feelings about Axl and have come full circle, please dont condascend to tell people how to feel about Axl, its makes me wanna say a bad word and throw my computer out the window.

IF you are referring to me, I am 38 years old.

C'mon JALP, one of the main reasons people are on this board is because they're Axl fans who recognize and appreciate his past achievements. And yes, if you are an artist and you choose to treat your fans that way, you can get away with a lack of communication for a few years between albums. BUT this has been a decade+.

To imply that GNR fans who want to hear from him are greedy and never satisifed when they've received so very little really is absurd. Just like Axl has the right to do things his way and not communicate to the fan base...fans have the right to make noise about it becuase they CARE. And just be glad they're still here making noise...

Axl will always have fans though even if he doesn't do anything. He's too wide known.

And in the day to day scheme of this game called life, what % of your life do you really focus on hearing and wanting GNR news from Axl?

People get pissed off because they want Axl to do things THEIR way. It's not gonna happen.

That mystique of NOT knowing is also what keeps all this enery alive.

If you are 38 then I hope you are a newer fan becuase your lack of well roundedness on this topic is even more shocking then.

I was 19 when GNR hit it big.

Furthermore, just because you are pissed off that Axl doesn't personally update you and everyone else on here as to the daily grind of the scheme of Guns n' Roses is no reason to say I lack being well rounded.

Try not giving a shit if GNR update you or not and be happy with what you already have from them..........music that lasts a lifetime.

Again, what % of your day do you spend waiting for an official update from Axl?

Sounds like you spend a great amount of time or you'd have a different attitude and ACCEPT that Axl only promotes himself when he has a finished product to go along with it.

When CD is released, we will have more than enough info and explanations.

But people like yourself unfortunately won't be content with that

HAHA, youre funny.

I care less about CD than anyone on the planet and am more grateful for the catalogue of music we already have than I prob. should be, anyone on here that knows me will confirm that.

Maybe you missed your calling and should be a psychologist cuz WOW, you give a great read on people!

I wonder if ex GnR members will gain financially from CD what with it being released under the GnR name.

not from CD directly, they signed their rights over

Yes, when threatened by Axl before a live show that if they didnt, he wouldnt take the stage that day.

I hardly think they could anticipate the long term ramifications of what they were signing that day with the pressure of the crowd who had already been left waitting and all.

stop trying to give excuses, they signed their rights away

Under duress. If you're conned out of your rightful property, I doubt you'd write it off as an excuse. This is all water under the bridge but you are amazingly cold hearted. Are you really that much of a fanboy that you don't have any humanity left in you? What Axl did was straight up wrong. He's not infallible, he's just a man. He fucked over his own friends. That really sucks from any point of view. Do you recall how Izzy was given his walking papers? Those two grew up together. Izzy was the coolest and nicest guy in the band. Axl sent him high and dry with a pittance.

People like this guy here are one dimensional in their mindset and arent able to see things from all sides and come to a logical yet objective conclusion, whatev.

We all know what Axl did yet we are still here, I dont approve of it but I think that a crappy childhood makes some people extremely calculating, so Iguess I cut Axl slack because of that. He really is an interesting combo of a man who has a huge heart yet can be ruthless all at once. Just an observation.

I wish I could do things my way.

But everything in life is a trade-off.

People who have chosen lives of only doing things their way are often alone and alienated.

Its all what is more important to you I think, complete independance or realizing that the people who love you have a right to be considered in your descisions.

You people amaze me.

Since when has Axl Rose ever done anything right in your eyes?

You bitch because he doesn't keep you updated. You bitch because he does things HIS own way. You bitch because you want this and you want that.

REALITY CHECK.

Axl Rose does things HIS way and NOT yours. And isn't it ironic how the way he (Axl) conducts himself is ALSO that VERY same reason as to why you are all fans of Guns n' Roses and thinks Axl kicks ass?

Why don't you all do as Lisa Reed suggested. Her comments are about as offical as you are going to get right now until you get an official statement from the GNR camp.

Have faith in GNR. Have faith in Axl Rose. He will deliver when everything is in synch.

Put yourselves in his shoes. Think outside the box. Maybe you would do things differently but Axl has ALWAYS stood by this motto:

I ONLY PROMOTE MYSELF WHEN THERE IS A FINISHED PRODUCT TO PROMOTE.

Have faith and patience and quit berating a man who you deep down adore and love because that makes you just another doubletalkingjive motherfucker.

Your post sounds good has no basis in reality unfortunately.

ALL celebrities have had to learn that "unofficial" statements are just as powerful as official ones.

His statements of CD'S impending status over the years have been very harmful to him because uh, his fans believed it. That WAS promomtion!

I really cant stand people who try to qauntify a "true" GnR fan as someone who cant see and love Axl despite his shortcomings, YOU are the one who is thinking "inside" the box, yet you dont even realize it.

You dont love the man more than others do because you refuse to see his flaws, someone like me may even love him more because Im not in denial about him but I still consider his musical genius pretty unprecendented in modern times.
