DR DOOM

DOOM suggests asking the WBC

I think we all know what the answer to that question is...

Besides myself, I know/have known two other people (in REAL LIFE A.K.A. not on the internet) that likes Chinese Democracy or at least the songs from it-any others (that liked GNR in the first place) have said something along the lines of "ïts fucking shit".

I was crapping myself with joy when I got the leaks in 06 and 08 but besides those two people nobody I played them for had a good word to say about them.

They played the title track on the major rock station here (that plays a staple diet of GNR) when CD came out and asked the listeners whether they wanted them to keep playing it/ran internet polls- I never heard it again.

Artists get out and promote their album

"YOURÉ A CHOIRBOY, A FUCKING CHOIRBOY!"

DOOM APPROVES!

ACTUALLY, DOOM WAS IN THE WBC FOR A WHILE (TO GET PUSSY)

Tin Machine cops a lot more flak than it deserves, and mostly by people who have never even heard Tin Machine's albums.

Bowie's 2002 album (Heathen) is really fucking good too.

Storm (RIP) was the king of album covers, no question.

I thought it was Slash's fault new GNR didn't succeed?

Phew, Im glad it wasn't Axl's fault

"Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artists’ contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll."

While the album itself may not have been as big as it could have been, the Chinese democracy era was a huge part of rock folklore, and will always be a huge part of GnR's legacy. I think Tommy Stinson deserved to be inducted, since he was the constant in the band for that entire debacle and has put more time into the band than Duff, Slash or Izzy did.

Tommy and Dizzy could get big "bajillion Axl points" medallions perhaps?

Lost.

The end was just pathetic.

From what I remember of Slash's book he mentioned Rod Jackson's drug problem and Ryan Roxie caring about nothing but getting publishing credits.

I don't really believe that though

You would be in a very small minority there, no offense.

I like the songs off of CD too, but that's not why GNR were inducted into the RNRHOF.

Im not so sure on the Clooney/Bullock as astronauts casting...that's a big put off for me (though I have nothing against them per se, just not together as astronauts)

Wont top 2001!

GNR weren't inducted on the back off Chinese Democracy, and even if they were the key players from that era aren't in the band anymore either...Ashba is bad taste personified as it is and seeing/hearing him get up onstage at the RNRHOF for Guns N Roses would be taking it to another level.

And on that note Pitman prancing around the stage with a tambourine during songs is bad enough at a GNR gig, what we got at the actual RNRHOF show was probably the best thing besides the AFD or UYI lineups.

Guys please, his body recognised his brain as a tumour and rejected it- its sad really.

As for Slash, he's doing fine- both parties are always going to be asked about the other so the subject will always be on the horizon but I don't think it bothers him so much.

Probably in the same situation as right now, possibly with somebody else instead of Ron Thal and maybe an album of CD leftovers out there for us downloading motherfuckers to actually buy (which we all would if we were given the opportunity too anyway)

ACDC or Korn etc?

This thread won't end well.

Freedom fighting guerrillas, champions of teenage boys locking themselves in their rooms when told to clean up and screaming "FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!"

Ironically signed to Sony Records

I don't mean to shit on Snake Pit's threads, but fuck god damnit I hate RATM, Korn, Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit, SOAD and basically all that shit

Axl die hards like to make out ACDC only do 1 song several different ways, RATM are actually guilty of that.

Edit: hated RATM back in 95 or whatever, hate em now- but please remember Snake Pit, DOOM LOVES YOU

I sort of missed out on the later years of it, but I thoroughly enjoyed the series and movies (though the one in the snow didn't exactly feel very x-files)

The human tape/fluke worm episode sticks out

Keith's Main Offender isn't too shabby...

If you listen closely to Slash's guitar work on the Use Your Illusions, they stand up to pretty much anybody.

Absolutely.

May as well get CC Deville or Kip Winger.

The one off the back off of AFD, and the one already posted from the Illusions (GNFR)

Generally not, Bowie is one of my favourite artists and he looked pretty fruity at times-I also like The Cure, Adam Ant and Gary Numan.

Ashba on the other hand, I cant look at.

I think it depends on wether they are genuine or not, DJ reeks of bullshit.

While KISS/Gene and Paul's marketing is distasteful, at least they are providing their fan base with product.

I bought a KISS coffee mug the other week
