  1. I didn't read it until now and I was surprised anyone would think they are trying to replace Freddie.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Josh was the best singer the Chili Peppers have ever had. I love his lead and background vocals on I'm With You specifically.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. No one even knows what is being released, that’s our point.
  10. 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.
  11. I was listening to Evan Dando while registering and I think there was already an Evan, hence the G.
  12. 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,
  13. Oh, I don't. I made a joke about my age, eventually I admitted it. What else do you want?
  14. I think you're mixing it up. Rovim was talking about the Double Talkin Jive solo and so am I.
  15. I remember a discussion on here about this many years ago. Some poster, I forgot the name, who claimed to be an Izzy expert and studied his guitar playing or some shit like that, was convinced it was Izzy playing that solo.
  16. Ah, I was hoping they would keep it to two guitars again now Jeff is gone. For a lot of the new stuff they don’t need three guitars anyway and the old stuff maybe does but they made it work live with two guitars for a long time. Plus, I love Billy’s lead playing, I don’t want to see anyone else taking over half of it.
  17. When your hair is as thin as Axl's and you've had several hair transplants over the years, it's time to let the dream go. Duff's hair is still thick, he can get away with long hair even at his age.
  18. I think apart from Hamburg and Dresden, I have been to every major city in Germany. But I prefer Belgian or French cities regarding architecture, which is usually my main reason to go to a city anyway. Munich is nice, but it's no Antwerp, for example. And except for Berlin of course. That's not a pretty city either, but everything else there makes up for it.
