    how many times does Dj strategically place a bra on his guitar?

    I've counted two times so far.

    I can't remember what song it was now, but the most annoying thing I've seen DJ do so far was putting a side ways middle finger right close to the camera. So stupid. #rockstar4lyfe #sodemented #dementedmiddlefingerz

    maybe it's his #demented way of contacting his #ashbafamily. #truerockstar #betterthantheoldone

    You have to put yourself in the general public shoes and think, what the hell would people watching this think if they have no idea who dj is?

    He doesn't set a good first impression, between fucking up the solos, posing like an idiot and all his gesturing, what redeeming quality is there ?

    That's actually a really good question, Gunns. I wonder what would happen if you took say, This I Love, and put the video on your iPad and showed it to general public and casual rock fans, what would they think of it? Or you can substitute TIL for any other song where Dj does his posing/solo fuckups.

    Should Axl have done overdubs for Appetite for Democracy?

    I don't know how someone in their right mind can say the Tokyo '92 DVD is crap....

    Seriously.... what's wrong with you?

    Have you been raised listening to Britney Spears?

    Don't know you but anyone who was a teenager in the 90's will never forget how amazing the Tokyo '92 concert is and Axl, rasper than ever, is the Axl we grew up with. Nothing will ever beat that era, those performances, his wilderness.

    I'm sorry kids. This DVD sucks major ass regarding performances. Now I find them all HORRIBLE. All of them. Not only Axl.

    I can't speak for everyone here, but I say the Tokyo DVD is crap because, imo, it is one of their worst setlists. Seriously, they picked the night where they played So Fine to release instead of the previous night where they played Locomotive :facepalm: What gets me is there are other concerts that are much better than Tokyo, such as Paris '92, that could have been put out on DVD but weren't. Did Axl sound great, yeah, but he did during the entire UYI tour. I rarely watch Tokyo these days, I'm far more likely to put in my Paris DVD.

    He is butthurt because the booklet was riddled with weird pixelated placeholder artwork and lame pictures of the band any 15-year old with Photoshop skills could make. The artwork of the Red Hand booklet or the Grenade booklet was his original vision.

    this. Cover B and Cover C look much better, and I can understand Axl's frustration regarding the artwork and UMG publishing a draft booklet. One of the worst offenders in Cover A is "Prostitute", with the awful pixelated pink and green place holders and a picture of Frank, as opposed to Johnnie Hurtig's "Scream" (inside Cover B) or Natalia Fabia's "Peacock Dancer" (inside Cover C).

    I saw the price of some of the KISS rereleases in my local record store and :lol: The price has made up my mind: I only want Ace's album and Alive Millennium, and I'm strongly considering waiting to get Alive Millennium until it's thrown up on eBay for way cheaper. Great news from Zeppelin, and I wasn't aware MOV did Tiny Music. I'll have to look for that sometime, it's a great album. Incredibly underrated imo

    well, at least we know why Chinese has a bike on the cover.


    So I'm guessing you have something to do with the image on the Chinesedemocracy cover?


    In a nutshell, this is the story of the Rocket Queen Bicycle


    This story goes way back to the late 70s/early 80s. Axl used to visit us in Australia because our granparents know eachother from WW2. We used to have fun times hanging out - Axl got us into the latest KISS album and were listening to some early U2. I remeber Axl saying: "Look out for that Bono guy!" We used to push back the furniture and jam/dance/put on shows. Axl was basically my first music teacher. One time Axl showed us an awesome dance with a candle on his head! I had a tape of circus tunes that we would muck around to. I used to do a funny dance to the Elephant Walk that would crack Axl up.... he took that tape back with him to the States....( I found out later that the band used to play it in the studio....) !


    We would get around the neighbourhood on my brothers bicycle that had chopper handle bars and a red metallic plastic seat. Axl used to dinky me on the handlebars and take me to my dance classes. We were all excited because Axl couldn't stop talking bout how he was going to start up a Rock n' Roll band. We kids had an in joke because we managed to convince the old folks that Axl was going to be a concert pianist.


    Anyway, it was getting towards the end of this particular visit and we thought that we would give him a memorable send off. My brother and his mates built a ramp at the end of the yard and Axl and the guys spent the afternoon trying to jump it. I was pissed off because I wasn't allowed to join in and so I spent a lonely afternoon watching the action through the windows. Everytime Axl rode past he would pull faces at me and generally show off. He would disappear from view and then I could hear a huge crash at the other end of the yard. Axl had tied a bandanna around his head to keep his hair off his face.


    "I see you standing.... standing all alone......"



    My brother came in to see how I was doing and told me that they had decided on a band name - Rocket Queen - and that is what they called the bicycle. If they could jump the ramp it would all come true...... And they did!


    (They came up with Rocket Queen because in WW2 my Great Aunty's Polish Resistance group found an unexploded V2 Rocket prototype in a creek bed. They were involved in a dangerous mission to get the rocket to a plane so it could be sent to England for testing. They actually transported the rocket to the meeting point on the back of a tandem bicycle!)


    Before Axl left, he n I had a chat about music, the band, this n that.....Axl told me to look out for the album credits because Barbi Von Grief was me. He teased me and said "Von Grief" because, I was always a handfull, getting him into trouble with the old folks...... lol. Next thing you know he jumped onto the back of a mates motorbike and rode off. We would keep in touch on the phone over the years (Until my dad saw the phone bills! Grin)



    In 1985 (might have been earlier), Axl called me to let me know that the band had been signed but the name was changed to Guns N' Roses. One of my middle names is Rose and Ax n I thought that that was awesome!



    Though we lived in different countries Axl would pop up every now n then when I least expected it....apart from the times I've mentioned such as when I visited the band in California in 1990 with my family and the time in paris 1991, we had several memorable meet ups throughout the nineties. I almost ran away to Italy with Axl in 1994.


    Axl n I sorta lost touch after 1999 for a few years, but we met up again in 2004.


    Fast forward to 2008...


    Though as a child, I enjoyed being dinkied around the neighbourhood by Axl Rose, it did take some persuading! I remember telling him quite earnestly that dinkying on the handle bars was illegal! He said I would never be a Rock n' Roller if I always played by the rules. lol.


    All these years later, the front cover of Chinese Democracy brings back so many childhood memories as well as memories of the times that I spent with the band....



    It's nice to see that Axl did take my concerns into account and put a basket on the back of the bike - much safer to get around in
