Couldn't tell who was playing what, or if Finck/Fortus are even on this version of the track (the promo says several new remixes), but it sounded great, never having heard the original before

They should really be charging per person in the car. $100 per car is expensive if you’re the only one watching in there

Thats why you gotta take the bois along for the ride. Like $20 a person

I feel like that EDM drop was already done before

Not trying to be a dick, but I don't understand what point you're trying to make. I genuinely think that the fed troops are there to protect the courthouse from being burned to the ground. Not just as a ploy to get votes by looking good, or as a show of force. It's crazy to me that anyone could think that burning a building down is an appropriate response to a grievance. I also wouldn't call the people at that location protestors. If you're committing arson, you're at BEST a rioter, but IMO more of a terrorist than anything. They're using violence to try and force political change.

 

I may have read your comments wrong, so I wasn't intending to put words in your mouth with any of what I said. Just kinda talking to the topic as a whole.

Not trying to make a point so to speak.

I was just adding that if he doesn't do this (send in federal troops to protect federal building), then Trump could look weak to his supporters for possibly "letting the country go to shit" or something. 

So I think that it is within the realm of possibilty that while they are preventing the federal building from being vandalized, the whole charade of the confrontation in Portland could be used to Trump's advantage as a win for himself for his possible reelection.

i have not read any of the other responses. I think cancel culture is only good when there is obvious evidence against the guy/girl/entity they are canceling. I also think sometimes people cancelled too fast without evidence

I mean of all the things he's done good or bad, not letting buildings get burned down should be an easy good look for any candidate. Sending them in for things like statues might be a little more controversial, but even then, they're federal property and he has the right (and duty IMO) to protect them, to a point.

Its obvious they're there under the guise of protecting a federal building from vandalism. I meant look good to his supporters by having the protestors "dispersed"

Federal forces were sent in to Portland because antifa is firebombing a FEDERAL court house and those fall under FEDERAL jurisdiction. Just because it's within a state doesn't mean anything in this case lol

Also likely to look "good" to his supporters for the election

The song was written during the Appetite sessions and a journalist said he'd heard a demo of it when GnR were in England in June 1987.

Duff testified in Steven's lawsuit trial that he wrote the drum part and showed it to Steven. Matt also said in a 1993 interview that Duff came up with the idea of the intro drum beat, although I think in a later interview he said he wrote it himself.

If i remember correctly, he said he came up with the initial fill, and the part that follows it under the bass is the part Duff came up with⁰

I didnt like the song, but then again, my tastes have veered away from this type of rock. Franks groove was fine, but theres not a lot of way to fuck this type of song up. I thought the first part of Fortus solo was cool, but I agree that the change to a fuzzy tone mid solo was jarring.

Also, that snare sound is bleh. If i could compare it to something, it be a coconut. That is a coconut snare. Similar to sorums sound on Contraband.

All I can add to this is, in one of the 2009 shows, Axl made a joke, something like "So before he died, Michael had this doctor he wanted me to see"

Found this enjoyable

If soundboards would be included, ask the guy who does Metallica or Red Hot Chili Peppers mixes for the official soundboards to mix them

Regardless if this is all bullshit, I just want Izzys guitar to be 4dB louder in the mix, and Dizzy Reed to be 15dB lower

And all the music videos scanned in 4k (bc you know they used film for some portions)

I liked Robins SCOM solo, and most of the embelishments that he put on his take, but let's not forget who wrote the solo

Extremely puzzled to hear about the hetfield thing, especially considering a black (Jamaican) guitarist was featured on the first relased recording of 'hit the lights'. 

Maybe has to do with the fact that Ice T is a an American black guy?

At any rate, 27 years later, I would hope that he has matured as a person

Good vocal performance by scott

Yep. "Box" could very well be the same song as there's another Izzy song called "Bomb" (below) with literally the same riff that was used on VR's Contraband (Do It For The Kids I guess). Duff confirmed it during some chat years ago.

 

Link for Duffs comment?

I for one never liked Gilby Clark's onstage moves. Coupled with the fact that he didnt play YCBMs main riff correctly, or most (if any) of Izzy's parts correctly.

I also didn't like his rhythm guitar for Beggars and Hamgers On, and although his riff for "Good to Be Alive" was a pretty cool standard rock n roll riff, albiet in a descending chromatic which is unique for a blues based riff, Slash elevated his riff

At least Fortus actually bothered to learn Izzy's parts

I like the mix: drums sound great, Axls voice is mixed great, but guitars are too low in the mix (especially Robin's)

Very cool, but can we get the guys who mix Metallica's or the Red Hot Chili Pepper's soundboards on this?

Was gonna go see Rage (Coachella 1st weekend, Indio), System of a Down (LA)

Fuckin Creed, is their a worst band? . I cant understand why rock radio still play their shit to this day.

"What If" and "Bullets" by Creed fucking slaps

I use Spotify. I usually buy an album that I really like on CD then rip it to FLAC, so I dont really feel bad for the artist.

I only have FLAC files on my phone for very specific things like the MSFL Remasters of UYI records, or a live offocial soundboard of a song (Metallica/Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Both Slash and Mark have said Myles is a better guitar player than them. He's very technically skilled. 

I think Mark is more technically skilled. I just like Myles more because on the few songs that I know he does the solos on, he has a more "sustain-y" approach to solos, where Mark most of the time Mark solos just wahshredding, kinda like Kirk Hammet (and I say this as a Kirk fan).

Im sure there are songs where Mark does awesome solos as well, kinda like how Slash isnt just a pentatonic man, and Buckethead isnt purely a million-note-shredder. This is just me making a generalization based on maybe 10 songs
