I find the idea of a cover album exciting. Slash has enough albums that he composes himself. Now if it was Axl coming with a cover album, THAT would be disappointing to me 

I hope there's a few unexpected guests. Always nice to have some crossovers and Slash guests on so many things it must be easy for him to find people eager to sing or do a song with him.

I just read this as you hating on Isreal and defending hamas. 

Odd. I didn't read it as that at all. What Israel is doing now, is a disgrace and only produces more hate and antisemitism sadly. It is possible to condemn what Israel is doing (how could you not?), without supporting Hamas. What Hamas did/does, is horrible too.

In the end, it's always the innocent who pay. Innocent Palestinians getting shot while trying to get some food, or innocent jews who are targeted for no other reason than being jews. We have Hamas and Netanyahu and his colonists to thank for that.

As for your original post, I don't like violent protests either. If you protest anything, don't hide your face and don't demolish stuff. It won't get you any support and you should be punished for it. It reminds me of those climate activists. Who are you going to win for your cause by demolishing art that is dear to so many people, or by annoying people just trying to get to their work or wanting to go on a much deserved holiday bly glueing yourself to the asphalt? Seems like they're all shooting themselves in the foot by being obnoxious assholes.

Eight years later neither of the parties have found a candidate. Very depressing and scary. Two very old men are all they can offer to lead a super power.

I remember when Kamala Harris would take over two years into the presidency. Now all these years later Biden will be running for a second term? Are we supposed to forget he's in his 80s? In the newspaper here a geriatrist compared it to having an 80 year old drive a F1 car. Of course not all old people are senile, but to have the job of president of the US you should be in your peak, right? I think no one can say with a straight face anyone could ever be in their peak at 80. (Unless Cocoon is real.)

Isn't there any other Democrat candidate? Have the Democrats simply given up looking for anyone? And was Kamala really that bad? (I don't remember what she did wrong, I vaguely remember her stuffing up soon after she became VP.) At least here in the press, we don't read anything about other Democrats, only Biden.

Of course all of this goes for the Republicans too, but there were at least a few other candidates.

159 EUR to see them on a festival field in Belgium. I think I saw them for half that in 2016 with Axl. 

Happy birthday to my favourite frontman ever! I wish you many more healthy, happy years 

Happy birthday, Duff 🥳

60 already. I hope you have a great day and hope to see you again soon 😊

What’s the next big unheard song everyone wants now, anyways? Seven?

State of Grace. I really loved that.

As a Swiftie's mum I have the feeling Taylor releases an album twice a month  But it makes my daughter very happy and excited every time, so that's fine for me.

I don't understand her appeal myself, but she's only 34 now and she seems very prolific and everything she does seems very professional. I would bet she can have a great career for many many decades. 

Sometimes I wish I was a fan of a musician who loved working and worked with only professionals. Sadly, I'm stuck with Axl.

I could probably name a few songs, but only because of my daughter. I doubt my parents could name Madonna songs back in the day though. They weren't into that music, so I don't think it says a lot that many GNR fans don't know her songs.

But maybe streaming makees it worse? I mean, we used to listen to the radio and you would always have to listen to some songs you didn't like or would normally listen to. You'd discover more songs in more genres. Now you put on the things you like or the things your friends pointed out. Or things the algorithm shows you? 

It's a very questionable story. If this ruins GNR, then we might as well call it quits on most (if not all) bands. They all have similar (or worse) stories.

I think most people who were around back in the day would be surprised there aren't more/worse stories coming to light. This sort of behaviour was expected with those rock stars. Living on the edge, bad boys. It doesn't really scream respectful behaviour, does it?

Well then either they lied, weren't aware of it, or someone imitated him. 

Maybe they (whoever wrote that) see it more as the GNR writing than Axl writing per se. Like used in the Estranged video.

If people need a third party "explanation on social media" for a music video, the music video is a failure.

It's not about people getting it or not. It's about the creators making them get it or not.

I don't know much about AI, but I know Guns N' Roses never needed to have any of their music videos explained to me by third party hipsters living in their own bubble in front of a fucking screen.

If Michael Jackson was alive he'd show you how AI and music videos go together. And he surely wouldn't need a fucking third party explanation on social media for me to "get it".

True they used to explain the videos themselves on a separate video you could buy  And I still don't get them

The issue I have is not the fact it is AI, but the fact that it is a primitive and very bad AI model.

For example, with a quick google search in the past 5 minutes, choosing a FREE AI SITE
I have generated an image with "Slash playing Guitar over a Crocodile in the dark night sky inside a swamp"
It has body proportions that actually make fucking sense, much better and clearer objects, no conjoined limbs, notice the only problem with the body is the fingers, it is a character who is clearly Slash and not a defualt anime Ai person, and this is SO MUCH BETTER than whatever 2021 AI they used. 
The fact they didnt even use the $30 AI it is even better than this here, is just sad.

But this is not what they wanted to make as a video. It's like using an abstract painting of a dog and saying you can draw a better dog. That's not the point.

There was the appetite logo though

Oh, I missed that. There is a LOT going on for my little brain to follow, of course.

Ah yes, the iconic club venue: "SNORE KLIT"

That is what I find annoying. It looks like letters, but they're not really real letters. That enhances the idea you've had some kind of stroke.

im guessing someone is trying to make a  cool video for the youngsters?

 

this is shit

 

if you want to make something cool, just stick some boobies in it, theres nothing more cool than boobies lol

I appreciate there are no strippers nor AFD skeletons in this.

Besides waiting for the GNR surprise today, I've been waiting on an update in the Love/sex/relationship thread all day, but I see I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up in that department either  I guess you've sobered up too much, @Eric Cantona

It sure looks like a little keyboard 

Don't Damn Me being played and Always on the Run... Makes me think I should go try and watch a show. I would love to see those two.
