  1. Shit, because I would only buy a Nintendo for Zelda, Mario and Metroid and nothing else. Nintendo has been making shitty consoles for your grandma for 8/9 years now. Anyway I'd rather play on my PC (although nothing seems to catch my interest these days).

  2. Why does this man comes across as an illiterate 6-year old in everything he tweets? And I wonder even more why people will always act like it's fucking hilarious, it's clearly just unfunny gibberish (probably typed in a drunken stupor). I guess that Nirvana song someone posted in another thread a couple of days ago does indeed apply:

    "You could shit upon the stage, they'll be fans. They'll be fans."

  3. Lol when I read the end I immediately imagined representatives of the US government setting up some kind of video Live line between Kerry, Ban Ki-Moon, Axle and the Indonesian president... Command & Conquer style. EY YO BOSS ITS AXEL MANG, PLS LET THOSE INNOCENT SOULS GO. Picture Axl sitting all illustrious in the shadows in his yellow raincoat, like Dr. Evil. One hand stroking the hairs of his cat and the other in a bag of chips, with Frau Beta and her Brazilian Oompa-Loompas by his side and all the leaders in the world listening all-ears.

  4. What fiasco in February? And I can't seem to find an official Rock in Rio 2011 discussion thread? I was only lurking this very forum back then, just after RIR 2011. So I can't even imagine the collective disappointment of having to watch that abomination live and see our favorite rocker fall so fucking hard from grace. It especially must've hurt since 2010 set the bar so high.

  5. Check this out:

    After all the ups and downs and problems with shifty managers, I'm glad that Axl has finally put people he can trust in charge of the band. It's taken us along time to get to this point, but I have a really good, strong feeling that we are about to enter the the most productive, prolific period in Axl's career. He's granting interviews, and talking to fans and appearing in national media again, and seeming happy, and even talking up the next release. All while putting on the most blistering, ass-kicking live tour since Use Your Illusion. This can't be a coincidence. This has to all be product of effective, professional management that's sensitive to Axl's needs and supportive of his goals. I was especially encouraged to read about how Beta's going to help clear the way for a new album by dealing with the record label for Axl. Holy shit. That is just what the doctor ordered. She may be the one person tough enough to crack a few heads down at the greedy record company office and get Axl what he needs to put the next album out.

    Usually, I would never, ever under any circumstances support anyone giving Axl an ultimatum like she did when she told Axl she would quit working with him if he didn't let her and her family be the managers. One, I do not think anyone should ever tell Axl Rose what he has to do. But also because I was a little worried to hear Beta threaten to leave Axl because we know how unique and special their relationship has been, and even if she was only saying that to motivate him to let her be the manager, it still seems a little extreme consdiering how much we know Axl loves and needs her. Nobody wants to lose their 'mother,' even if it's not his mother by blood, but the "Mother of the Band." But it worked, and now Axl for once has a Manager that he can trust completely and we can also be absoluitely sure that she will never try and get him to reunite with the old band because she, of all people, understands how hurtful they have been.

    We've had some great times and some dark times with this band. But now that we've finally got Beta and people we can trust at the wheel, I really feel like we're about to enter the "Golden Years" of Guns N' Roses.

    All I can say is: WOW, how fucking wrong this guy was.

  6. Marc -

    Do you know what animator/studio made the intro cartoon that GNR used at Rio in 2001?

    The one at the beginning of this video:

    Can anyone decipher what he's saying? Is there a copy of this without the Brazilian voice over it - it's hard to hear what he's saying.

    W. Axl Rose in

    It's A Sorta Kinda Wonderful Life

    [pissing noise]

    Axl: Oh, hi! Didn't hear you come in. Sorry I can't be with you tonight. (note from chindem: I don't quite know what he says here...)The electromagnetic rays.

    [spacy noise]

    Axl (screams at a young male servant): Boy! Where's my f-ucking bed pan?

    [DING]--this is the noise of Axl taking a dump in the bedpan.

    Axl: Nothing like a nice cold bedpan to start your day.

    Female voice speaking through an intercom: Mr. Rose, your (?) nurse is here.

    [sound of a soda can being opened]

    Axl: Just for the taste of it...Diet Coke.

    [sound of magazine pages being ripped and wadded up]

    Axl: Well, Happy New Year! (coughs) Enjoy the millennium and hope to see you soon, boys and girls. But right now Uncle Axl has a date with cleanliness and we all know that cleanliness is next to...well, you get the picture. So take care, enjoy the show...I think I s-hit myself.

    [spacy noise]

  7. If Zakk would replace Ron I think a major overhaul would be fitting. Ditch the bloated list of "personnel" a.k.a. loan leechers collected over the years and start anew with respectable musicians and Zakk. So... ditch Pitman, Ferrer, DJ (, maybe Stinson for Duff) and most of all the hangers-on from Brazil (who have infested themselves like a cancer in this band). I would approve of a band consisting of Axl, Duff, Zakk, Fortus, Sorum, Adler or Brian and Reed.

  8. In a brand new behind-the-scenes clip from VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show", Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE) spoke about what it was like when he auditioned to join Slash in GUNS N' ROSES in the mid-'90s.

    "We just had some ideas laying around and stuff like that, but nothing amounted to where Axl [Rose] sang on stuff and had lyrics written and everything like that," Zakk said (see video below), "We just had riffs lying around and stuff like that, but… It was great hanging out. 'Cause all the guys were there, you know what I mean?! It was Slash, Axl, Duff [McKagan, bass], Dizzy [Reed, keyboards], Matt [Sorum, drums]; it was all the guys. We were all jamming and stuff like that. It was a good time. It was at that point nothing was going on and I wasn't jamming with The Boss [Ozzy Osbourne]. Then I just had a batch of riffs and ideas laying around. I just said, 'I'll do it myself.' And that's when BLACK LABEL SOCIETY was born. And that's why I'm still living in a van down by the river. So I figured, maybe I wanna do this myself."

    Asked what a Slash/Zakk Wylde combo in GUNS N' ROSES would have sounded like, Zakk told Gibson.com: "It sounded like the riffs I write and the way I write, mixed in with the way the guys write, you know what I mean?! It would have been like… When I was jamming with Slash and all the guys, even if I'm in the band, there's only one guy that's playing the solos to 'November Rain', 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and all those classic songs. I'm not going to do anything there. But the future stuff that we would have been writing, it would have been cool! Because I love Slash's playing and I'm buddies with him. It would have been cool, but with those guys, there was nothing happening, so we were jamming, but it wasn't going anywhere."
