A metaphor (from the ancient Greek μεταφορά "transference; figurative meaning") is a word or expression used in a figurative sense, which is based on comparing an object or phenomenon with some other on the basis of their common feature.

The term belongs to Aristotle and is associated with his understanding of art as an imitation of life.

In this case, it is a metaphor of passion and despair, to which the lyrical hero is subject. In my opinion, this is so obvious that it does not require clarification for people who have read any poet at least once.

I think everyone knows what a metaphor is and the line about finding a head and arm in a garbage bin is NOT a metaphor. It's a fact.

That wasn’t a metaphor. Someone DID find a head and an arm in a garbage can, out back of a rehearsal space or something like that. 

This is true

There's definitely something VERY wrong here. A post from Soulmonster also was inexplicably posted in that Czech looking language. I remember asking a Poster something like,"Why does my post in your quote look like a Czech language?🤨🤔 And it turned out it happened to a Soulmonster post too, so it must be a glitch. 🤔

I believe it happens when someone translates English to their own language when they are viewing the forum. I see it too.

This is the dumbest conversation ever had on this platform, and that's saying a lot.

 

Why read it and add to it then? You seem to not like it here, have you tried other forums?

What happened at the Hamburg show?

It doesn't matter anymore anyway... Axl's window is gone.. His voice is gone.. They may have been able to do something decent 8 years ago but that ship has sailed.. Not to mention the drummer situation.. Guns n' Roses will never release a good song again..   

Sad but true

Chinese Democracy can be called many things, good or bad - I do think it qualifies as "creative" either way though, no?

Nah.

@SoulMonster For the sake of my sanity STOP, just stop!

I really love the outro. I love Slash but I still prefer Peter Green's version vocally.

Admins, can I bump up some threads I started months ago because I have some burning questions to ask. 💡

Happy birthday Izzy

No need to wait. Just listen to the original. It doesn't get better than this.

 

It'd be hard to improve on perfection

Slash without GNR pulls in between 1000-3000 a night as an average depending on the size of the market. He also gets a smaller guarantee than most people think and takes the door deal. His VIP programs do well for ancillary income. Anyone who thinks slash can pull an arena crowd solo is completely delusional. The small arenas/amps he plays aren’t expensive shows and have a super low break even point for the promoter/venue so if the deal makes sense, he’ll be booked there.

Duff gets booked at 500-1000 type clubs.

SMKC played the 02 Arena Wembley on Friday which is roughly 12,500 and it looked packed out.

His previous London show was the Brixton Academy which holds just under 5,000 was sold out.

His shows always sell well in England

Thank you! Is there a way to do it without uploading them to another site first?

Only by becoming a member, otherwise, you have to use a hosting site first.

Membership is a one-off payment for life, here's the link if you want to have a look.

What did you think of the show Jan?

I loved it! Todd is so good and you can see that they had a lot of fun playing, very different to GNR 

I bought seated tickets which is a first for me, I'll stick to standing in future. Really good setlist taken from all the albums. It must have been a sold-out show or very near to sold-out

Tim Collins, then manager of Aerosmith, appears in the backstage footage at the end of the video (as well as Tom Zutaut and Vicky Hamilton).

I don't think I've heard of their friend who played sax during Anything Goes before. I looked in Marc Canter's book and his name is not mentioned. He's referred to as a "musical associate" who also provided the band with some experimental "recreational" substances after the show.

Wasn't it Duff's brother?

I'd like a Skin n Bones type set but Axl doesn't sing well enough to make it enjoyable

@DoMw94 really good photos you should post them here too

I prefer the traditional old-school look. Same with GNR too
