-W.A.R-

UYIIII would have been cool back in the the 1990s. I don't trust the band to live up to the title now.

Well the story goes that he came in with an attitude like he belonged and that ticked them off. He was also caught in between the power struggle with Axl trying to force one of his guys into the band after being dismissive of Gilby and i think quite reasonably they were like fuck no you wont. Axl then brought him in to play answers to Slash's solo on SFTD that pissed Slash off even more. He became the face of the strife.

Why does it also bring up AC/DC for you, though?

Axl/DC album confirmed.

The General is not cool as a title for me. It reminds me of Iron Maiden or something like that

or car insurance.

How is the 63 tracks a lie? Can someone point to where I can find official versions of the full live shows that have not been overdubbed to the point it is a studio recording? Or where I can find official versions of the other London, Rio, and Paris tracks?  Since people are claiming they have been released before, I would love to get them.

Most assume unreleased means unheard material but anyone who is a fan of this band knows damn well that they do not have 63 unreleased tracks  

That shit is pretty dope though.

Even Hague fugitive Henry Kissinger thinks US foreign policy is irrational.

Jungle. You can tease the intro and then

"Welcome To The Jungle" is the perfect answer. Others are good - nothing beats Jungle for a million reasons. 

It gets people so psyched, especially when they tease the guitar intro, and when Axl gives it his all it gives goosebumps. 

EXAMPLE: 

Plus, to be simple about it, it says "welcome" in it - so it's the perfect greeting to the audience.

 

Yeah it's hard to start a show better than than that. That scream is godly,

"His girlfriend told me. She said, ‘He’s asked them a bunch of times to join the band, but they told him, ‘No, you’re too short and fat man, you don’t look right.’ Isn’t that sick?”

15 years later Axl hires a guy with a KFC bucket on his head

Edit: He is tall though!

Surely this will come down to Free Falling and Salt of the Earth.

Damn first James Caan (Sonny Corleone) and now Paulie from the Sopranos. This has been one suck week.

and Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) a month ago.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) 👍

I used to think this was the perfect encapsulation of US militarism but on this re-watch it hit me that this didn't actually go far enough! Truth is everyone in charge is just as insane as Jack D. Ripper.

What on earth was Axl doing each time he was two hours late during the UYI tour.

Watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.

I never really paid much attention to them and kinda figured they were one of those lame bands like Motley Crue. However one day i was listening to SCOM, still not really taking them seriously, and then the solo was like an explosion. There was so much emotion, i was moved  I started thinking there was more to the band than i was giving it credit for.

Things really clicked by the time i got to track 3 on AFD.

These sequels that come a million years after the first never work.

I don't fault people for thinking it's about Slash however there are lines like "difference is no one cares about you" "why no one asked you is a mystery to me" that don't fit it being about him.

IMO there is only one song that either wrote that is outright about the other and that's Take It Away on the first Snakepit album.
