"What Movie Did You Watch?" - 2020 Edition
EvanG replied to Black Sabbath's topic in SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I thought it was very powerful and well made. -
"What Movie Did You Watch?" - 2020 Edition

The Zone of Interest (2023) -
Jeez, everyone wants to hear new music, that's not the point. But it's not your band, so what else can you do but accept it or move on. Do you think constantly complaining about it is going to speed up how they operate? If so, this band would have been a totally different animal by now. But I guess it's about what has been said before, some strange coping mechanism. And whether you think the songs are decent or not, is totally subjective and not relevant at all.

I agree. Acceptance can be hard for me too depending on the topic of course. In the case of GnR, I don't really know any different. This band has been slow and different from the rest since the very beginning. By the 90s I already accepted this and took them for what they are. Sometimes I wonder if I'm simply not as big of a fan as those on here who are always so frustrated and disappointed, but I don't know. I wish Axl had been more prolific as much as anyone else and that this band would handle a lot of things differently, but it's been this way for so long, and at the end of the day, I have so much more to worry about in my life than a rock n roll band, so I've accepted it a long time ago that this is how they (or should I say Axl) operates. Doesn't mean I like it, but it is what it is. I think I'm just better at accepting. But I think you're right, for some all the bitching about something like this can simply be a coping mechanism or just a way to blow off steam from their life or whatever, but I personally think that's quite silly. But to each their own, I suppose.
-
You're completely right, but I think some fans will never be able to accept that. I don't know why, because it would be so easy to just accept that Axl doesn't live his life or run his band the way they want it, but I guess it's simply too hard for them to come to terms with that. So in 5 years if there will still be no new album (which is a real possibility), they will still be here (if this place still exists) and be as frustrated as ever and bitch about how Axl isn't like other musicians, while they could have accepted it a long time ago like other fans and just enjoy the band for what it is. I guess people are quite different, eh?

What’s up with all the imposters

I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer. -
I didn't read it until now and I was surprised anyone would think they are trying to replace Freddie.
-
That's not what they're trying to do, though. Everyone knows Freddie is irreplaceable. That is why they call it ''Queen + Adam Lambert''. They are celebrating the music of Queen with two original members and a great singer who can honour the songs without imitating or pretending to be Freddie, which wouldn't be possible anyway.

Stillwater (2021) Good film. -
I never considered it a GnR record either. But I don't really care either. I judge the music and not which name happens to be on the cover and I quite like Chinese Democracy and think it contains some of Axl's best songs.
-
Yeah, I think most nights they only did one song off of I’m With You, but at least they mixed it up. Raindance Maggie, Look Around, Ethiopia, Factory Of Faith and Did I Let You Know all got rotated during the The Getaway tour. Shame they never did Monarchy Of Roses anymore. I love that song.
-
I don’t think many people would disagree that John isn’t the best fit. They created a musical language with him and no one can compete with that. Not even a great guitarist like Dave Navarro or an allround musician like Josh Klinghoffer. That doesn’t mean everything they do with John turns into gold and there are some people who prefer the songs they did with Josh over the last two records with John, which are not bad, but sound somewhat uninspiring. Plus, it’s shitty they ignore I’m With You and The Getaway and are back to ignoring One Hot Minute. At least Josh got them to play Aeroplane.
-
Josh was the best singer the Chili Peppers have ever had. I love his lead and background vocals on I'm With You specifically.

How so? If anything, she fucked over Billy. Billy and the other members did everything to get her back in the band because they know how much the fans wanted to see the original four reunited. They tried to put as little pressure as possible on her, because she always had terrible stage fright and hadn’t performed live in almost twenty years, by telling her she could play as many songs as she was comfortable with and be as flexible as she wanted to be regarding doing shows. Billy tried for a long time to get her in the same room but she kept bailing and eventually leaked his text messages to the press and talked shit about them. I know many people love to hate on Billy but this wasn’t on him. Regarding their new music, it’s not my cup of tea, but I applaud them for not constantly doing the same thing, like most 90’s bands.

Looks boring.

“Get ready for something F’n special.. 1.24.24”
EvanG replied to GNR 1991's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
November Rain was always cringy to me, it was back then and I still think so now. (I believe even Axl said he doesn't like it anymore now). But that's my opinion, I just prefer more simple and artistic music videos. Anton Corbijn has made some of my favourite music videos, especially in the 90s. I like the videos to Metallica's "Until It Sleeps" and R.E.M.'s ''Losing My Religion" a lot too. Estranged was a bit better because of the cool live shots, but also quite cringy. Don't Cry is better because of the abstract, artsy scenes in it, although them playing on a roof with a helicopter flying above them screams total Hollywood again, which just isn't my cup of tea for a music video. -

No one even knows what is being released, that’s our point. -

It’s herd behaviour here as always. One person starts whining and the usual suspects immediately join in. That’s why they are here. And when you say something about it, they get offended, haha. -
I was listening to Evan Dando while registering and I think there was already an Evan, hence the G.

It's great, I had a gig with it a few months back and I'm happy with it. This is the one I ended up buying, the honey burst,
