DR DOOM

I actually quite like most all of the songs, but not as they appear on the album- I refer to the 2000/01 live versions and leaks.

So while I technically like most of the songs I despise the album because they are all fucked with and don't sound half as good- title track, IRS and Riad in particular.

It's also a very melancholic album, it's mostly all about Axl feeling sorry for himself.

Sure, one was the lynchpin and principal songwriter in Guns N Roses and the other guy has been Axl Rose's tour guitarist for the past 15 years.

Cheers mate, I haven't seen that. He did name Led Zeppelin IV in a recent 'Best Metal Albums' thing he did, so he definitely seems to be a fan, which isn't really surprising. I'm sure I've read something before about the two bands jamming in the studio at some point as well, Bonzo was apparently good friends with the Sabs and Iommi in particular.

Iommi was best man at Bonzo's wedding.

I think there are some tales of the two bands in the (definitive) How Black Was Our Sabbath? book by two of Sabbath's roadies.

Ozzy does change his tune/mind/story a lot but yeah....undoubtedly a fan of LZ.

Oz also sang on that Gary Moore song "Led Clones" which was a stab at all the rip offs...Coverdale/Whitesnake with Still Of The Night in particular!

You could be right, I'm pretty sure he likes Led Zep but I've only really read/seen him speak of John Lennon as his idol, numerous times as well.

I have an interview with him from the 90s where he lists the first two LZ albums in his top ten 

70's Sabbath.

Apples and oranges though, same goes for Deep Purple. They each did their own thing-sure there was/is common ground but they were all doing different things.

Anybody who has followed GNR (Axl anyway) for more than 5 minutes should know that if they are getting their hopes up for new music then they are a fucking fool. 

Fool me once, shame on you...

I just couldn't give a flying turd about pretty much any of the new characters-Rey is all "Mary Sue", Poe is really annoying, and I'll be fucked if Finn isn't the epitomy of the token black guy. Rose is the shittest Star Wars character ever. Get the fuck out of here.

I've been a Star Wars fan since before I can remember, and walked out of the cinema for this one and TFA feeling like they were defacing the original movies/story.

I wish they had just left "the story" alone. These new movies aren't very "Star Wars-y"...are they going to have Chewie tortured and killed next?

They may as well have said the baddies dropped an atom bomb on the heroes while they rejoiced on Endor in ROTJ...what a fuck in the ass these movies are.

For all the shit he cops, these turds at least prove that Star Wars needs George Lucas.

I fucking hate those pretentious Matrix movies. Wankers.

Motorhead.

My ears hurt like a motherfucker.

Never gave Cross Purposes much of a chance. Will have to give the Tony Martin era a bit more attention.

Cross Purposes is the only decent one, IMO.

Geezer is on it too.

The other Tony Martin albums suck dick, except Eternal Idol which was written and recorded with Ray Gillen, who left and had his vocals replaced by Martin.

Don't have Netflix or whatever, but a friend gave me the first 2 episodes of season 3 on DVD.

Fucking incredible.

Yeah, the lyrics on Dehumanizer are more science fiction than anything else.

You're right, it's a brutal listen. Vocally RJD is ripping those songs to shreds.

I know there was a lot of discontent while making the album- the whole Cozy situation and also the old Tony/Geezer vs Ronnie/Vinnie thing plus an allegedly lousy producer (not sure what if any of it to believe, Sabbath legend/history changes throughout the years depending on who happens to be fronting the band at the time).

Never had a problem with the production myself though.

As an aside, I always found Cross Purposes to be a very strong album too.

Yeah it's my fave of the Dio fronted Sabbath albums. It's fucking brutal.

My main problem with Dio in general has always been the rubbish, Dungeons and Dragons lyrics- Dehumanizer really toned that down.

Just A Man.

Ricochet is pretty fucking awesome too.

I always thought that Come Together performance was a fucking abomination...and I like Axl and everything.

Patch and Kayla.

Victor Curieokies! (Jen Aniston's dad)

STEPHANO DEMIREZ!!!

OMFG

Chris Pitsman is a fucking dickhead and an embarrassment to the GNR name/brand/legacy.

Shame.

That signature

It's so true though.

Scraped (intro and all) and Rhiad (the live/original/leak version).

Ugh.

He was great in the 80's but I really detest Zakk's playing (not to mention the gay, pretend biker schtick) these days...and Blasko makes me wanna puke too.

Was hoping (against hope) for something special, this isn't very promising.

Axel Rose
