The General Music Video Discussion Thread
Manfisman replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I kind of like it, fits the overall mood of the song. Not my favorite video ever by any means but I don't have a problem with it -
These last posts prove that the singles approach gets old fast 😆 I'm glad we got any songs at all, and to be honest I like all four of them, even with The General shitty mix. However, the listening experience is quite odd this way. Single drops, you listen to it a lot, then you don't really need to come back to it. With an album, or even an EP, you listen to the entire thing and some songs will start to grow on you and so on. I don't have a problem with getting a full album of CD-era songs, but I think the experience and impact of getting a full release at once would be much better.

Axl Sued For Sexual Assault
Manfisman replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I don't think this is much of a case. She gave three different versions, and on two of them, she said it was consensual. And she sued on the day of the deadline... I don't think Axl was an angel back in the day, but I don't think this particular one is true -
Axl Sued For Sexual Assault
Manfisman replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
The rocker's attorney, Alan Gutman of Gutman Law, tells TMZ ... "Simply put, this incident never happened. Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires." Gutman continues ... "Though he doesn’t deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these again fictional allegations prior to today." Finally, he finishes with this ... "Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favor." https://www.tmz.com/2023/11/22/axl-rose-denies-sexual-assault-claim-penthouse-model-lawsuit/ -
Axl Sued For Sexual Assault
Manfisman replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I think they will need to come up with a statement, even if the case is dismissed. This has been pretty much picked up everywhere in a very short time. Based on the victim's own words from her book I don't think there is much of a case, however, the public perception is a whole different story. -
Axl Sued For Sexual Assault
Manfisman replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
The way this is written it sounds like she was ok with it. She actually says it: "Weirdly enough, I was okay with this. I had wanted to be with him since the minute I’d first laid eyes on him, and now I was getting him. Once he was done he untied me and we fucked around some more." -
Katarina's Benzova absence
Manfisman replied to nikosgnr's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I totally get your point, especially with the last couple of pages. People will troll even with stuff like this, which should be taken very seriously. But I don't think closing the topic is the way to go -

I mean, you can close the topic but people will still talk about it. It is big news -

You had a good point until you went for xenophobia. There are shit people everywhere, honey. -
Katarina's Benzova absence
Manfisman replied to nikosgnr's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I don't think the band necessarily knows the contract situation and even less the sexual allegations. Fortus being the ex, I don't think he is cool with this at all. I doubt either Axl, Slash or Duff knows about the sexual harassment because I don't think they would cover him at all. Fernando is not someone that you need to cover up, he is only there because Axl likes the family, so I think that if they knew about it, he would be fired already. -

You just can't have Fernando as a manager after all of this anymore. -

Manfisman replied to nikosgnr's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Besides the sexual allegations themselves (which is already a very bad look), all the contract and copyright handling looks very amateur-ish. This must be one of the most common things to handle as a manager, and if you can't even do that properly you are not a fit for the job... -
11/02/23 - Los Angeles, CA - The Hollywood Bowl NIGHT 2
Manfisman replied to alfierose's topic in 2023 Tour Dates
Holy shit the snippets sound great -
I think Monster is quite cinematic. You have various moods in the same songs. The intro is quite mysterious, then the poppy ad-libs, the monster voice, the mean bridge, and the chorus is catchy. So it should work in theory. Not saying it will happen though
-
I agree that those are not demos. And I agree that Monsters is Slash for sure, and most of The general. But the outro of the general, like minute 4 and so on has some fast licks that don´t sound the way Slash would usually play, and then it goes to some bends that sound more Slash-y. But a couple of fast runs here and there make me doubt
