  1. A couple of info:

    • Brazil's population is stimated in 200.000.000 people. Not as huge as US, but, still huge.
    • São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Brasília and Recife's security sucks. Walk with a smartphone on the street and prepare to be stolen.
    • Brazilians have a general concern that Axl's concerts aren't as good as they were in the past. Still, Brazilians and Argentines are the most fanatic GNR fans in the world.
    • If you are rich, Brazil is a paradise. Live on Leblon/Ipanema (Rio), or Belvedere(BH), or any place in the rich part of Florianópolis, São Paulo, Curitiba, Porto Alegre. Otherwise, prepare to have your smartphone AND wallet stolen at any minute.
  2. Good resolutions King! I like most of the ones I'm seeing in the thread.

    Mine are:

    -Eat healthier

    -Have a more positive attitude

    -Be more patient / Be less bitchy

    -Be more punctual

    -Be happy

    Good ones. Good lucky.

    My Resolutions:

    1. Win 5 awards in an I.T. exposition that will happen this year.
    2. Pass in High School National Exam with 800.
    3. Be more patient.
    4. Be less arrogant.
  3. People talk shit about Axl's voice, but apparently Slash made a brilliant move in making Myles his singer. Gimme a fuckin break. Myles is the DJ of Slash's band.

    I had the same thought a few months earlier. BUT, his works on Alter Bridge don't leave any doubt about his talent.

    Bringing Myles to the band was a bad move not because of his skills, but simply because his voice doesn't fit on the type of Hard Rock/Rock N' Roll that Slash does. DJ by the other hand, is a bad guitarrist, AND didn't fit on the band. I'm gonna leave here a few videos with AB songs, when you have time left, watch them.

  4. Shut up, pick a side and quit whining about it.

    A maniqueist point of view is a bad option to explain a series of facts that lead to an end. Slash said a lot lies, so do Axl. Slash did a lot of shit (Snakepit), so do Axl (Rhiad, Scraped, If the World). Both of them moved on in some kind of way and don't seem to be positive about a reunion. Everybody had some kind of participation in what happened, that's undeniable. Being maniqueist, led you getting blind to lots of things that happened.

    Seriously, do half of you even think for yourselves?

    -Chinese Democracy is either a piece of shit or a masterpiece

    - Axl is 100% responsible for the old lineup splitting, or it's Slash's fault

    -Chinese Democracy was either a commercial failure or a grand success

    - etc

    Why is there no kind of middle ground with so many GNR forum-goers? It's a crazy way of thinking.

    Chinese Democracy is at least an alright album.

    Old GNR broke up mostly because of creative differences.

    Chinese Democracy sold quite well but didn't reach expectations.

    Because we're bipolar.

    Being bipolar is different of being maniqueist

  5. Whitesnake, Scorpions, Sebastian Bach.

    My god people. Naming bands better than GNR isn't even difficult, and you're failing...so bad.

    As i said, musical taste is a very relative thing. I think that Whitesnake is a better band than GNR 'cause even thought it has had many line-up changes, the band was able to keep it's essence, which can be proved by anyone that hears "1987" and comparies it to "Good to be Bad", or "Forevermore", that's a more blues based record. Also, Coverdale is a WAY better vocalist than Axl.

    "But, from '85 'til 93 nobody could beat Axl!"

    Does having an incredible voice by just 8 years really makes you the greatest rock singer ever? Hetfield could keep his voice a little bit more, 'Baz could keep his voice WAY longer.

    Coverdale, Meine, TYLER, DAN MCCAFFERTY, these are true references in what concerns about how to be an awesome singer. They had an amazing voice, and they kept it way longer than Axl.

    Scorpions, well, i don't need to say too much. Even though the band made some mistakes, like Eye to Eye; "Humanity" and "Sting in the Tail", "Blackout", "Love at First Sting", "Face the Heat" and "Lovedrive" are all records that prove why Scorpions is one of the best and solid rock bands ever.

    Bach made a great job at Skid Row, and it's still very productive, and more important, making top notch records. A person that does "Skid Row", "Slave to the Grind", "Angel Down" and "Kicking and Screaming" deserves my respect.

    But again, musical taste is a very relative thing.
