Cliff and Brian interview

lol Dump was 46 years old when that video came out.

Selling it as an unreleased track from 1986 when it actually wasn't is a big deal. Especially since there was nothing else remotely rare or unheard on that thing.

Most rock musicians have no clue how to play reggae.

Depends what kind of Liberalism you are talking about. Today's Republicans are what they call Classical Liberalism. Today' Liberals are basically socialist  regressive.

You say Lefties as the 1960s peace and love hippie movement.

You have no idea what you're talking about. soon is owning you all over this thread and you're too clueless to see. Of course if you had a clue you wouldn't be a right winger.

Obviously because they would never win another election why do you think they screwed over Burnout? Trump would be like 20 points ahead of Bernie if he was the nominee instead of Grandpa Joe.

I have no doubt in my mind that AOC is the future of the Democrat party thats why Joe, Nancy, Chuck and the rest are holding on to power for dear life. and joe doesn't even know he is running for President he is walking trojan horse.

 

Wrong again. Bernie would have trounced Dump.

Is this getting released for all to see?  Last I heard it was only showed at the some film festival.  I'll definitely want to sit down an give it a watch.

Here's some info on how you can see this.

https://allicansay.oscilloscope.net/

First time I saw the Welcome to the Jungle video was at a club in Boston. A place called Narcissus where they used to play rock videos on a big screen between bands. Anyway, I remember the video right after it was Grim Reaper's See You In Hell. And who was the guitar player in Grime Reaper? That's right. Nick Bowcott.

The official Bob Marley channel just released this unbelievably great full show from 1977.

But that's just Bob Marley. We all know he wasn't as serious about social justice as Fernando Lebeis. 

and not only that but they even tied it to a fundraiser.

"Join us for this special Bob Marley & The Wailers watch party as they perform their famous 'Live at the Rainbow' concert from June 1977 in London on the Exodus tour, upgraded to HD quality. Donations to support those in the music community affected by the coronavirus pandemic will be accepted during the livestream, with Spotify matching all contributions to MusiCares, dollar for dollar, up to a collective total of $10 million through the Spotify COVID-19 Music Relief project https://bobmarley.lnk.to/covid19relief

Fernando could do something like that but the guy just has too much respect...

Speaking of teaching, I thought of another thing that made laugh in this book. He says he had to teach Duff and Slash how to exploit their position to get girls backstage etc. Which seems ridiculous to begin with since they were already big rock stars when he met them, but earlier in his own book it says the first time he ever saw those guys in person they had four incredibly hot babes with them.

^^^ We cant take this page of evidence of anything, though. This random, random-person, generated page holds no water. 

This page isnt official. It isnt done by the school, based on records. And its not made by Melissa. Please just everyone take one second to read it? Anyone of us could have made that page. The page explicitly states that someone made it to look for Mel. Its just as likely that this random page is what started the rumour about her being 38 as it is to solve the mystery*.

 

*Id be fairly surprised if the journalist and editors at a quality publication like RS would be so easily duped on such basic info, so mystery solved as far as Im concerned. Shes 30 until the RS issues a correction.

Where are you getting that she's ten years older?

http://roosevelthighschoolalumni.org/seattle-wa/alumni/7125539/melissa-reese.html

I still can't believe she says she's 29 when she's nearly ten years older. I mean take 2 or 3 years off, sure...but 9? That's pushing it. 

Finally figured out how to find this thing. Kind of dull mostly just skimmed it.  I can't really blame him for feeling burned by those guys though. They did kind of screw him.

Funniest thing to me was when he described the Scrap Bar as being in a rough neighborhood. MacDougal Street rough?  Even in the very different NYC of 1988 that hardly the case.

lol she shaved  nearly a decade off her age. She is 38.. Class of 2000

So I've read a lot of people claiming that the release of the book has been cancelled. I've tried to find more source by googling, to no avail. How do you know that the release has been cancelled? 

It was removed from the publisher's website.

Matt had talked a bit about the UYI songs and his playing on them in this interview from 1991:

https://www.a-4-d.com/t4740-1991-06-dd-modern-drummer-matt-sorum-guns-n-roses-new-stickman

He said then that his favourites were Coma and Locomotive:

My favorite is probably a song called "Coma." The song is about ten minutes long and has a lot of different kinds of parts. It starts out real heavy, almost like Metallica or something, and then it breaks down into a Pink Floyd thing. I overdubbed some timpani over it, and I used a gong on it. I warmed up the gong with a Superball, which makes a really eerie sound, like you’re under water. I have some really eerie effects in the middle where I use triangles and shakers and stuff.
There’s a song called "Locomotive" that I like a lot, which is about eight minutes long. It has kind of a funky groove on it, sort of like "Welcome To The Jungle." At the end it goes into something that almost sounds like "Layla." It goes out with a lot of Phil Collins-type tom stuff. I did timbale overdubs on the end fills.

What he says about the same songs in the book:

Then there were the tracks like “Coma,” which I just didn’t get at all. I mean, a ten minute rock song? [...] Something else I quickly noticed was that the songs varied hugely in length. Some were only three minutes or so—an ideal length, in my opinion—whereas others seemed never to end. “Locomotive” was one of those songs. It lasted over eight minutes, and though I was new behind the drums, I couldn’t help but ask, “Does this song really need to be so long?” Slash looked at me, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth like usual, and said, “Yeah, man, it’s cool.”

Funny but he wasn't really in a position to not like anything then. Publicly at least. I mean can you imagine if he went in Modern Drummer in 1991 and started slamming Coma or any other song? Bye bye Matt.

Hilarious. Mnunchin already lost by responding in the first place but then he compounds it with the Liberian flag thing. Classic self-own. 

Sad news. He seemed like a great guy and a true rock 'n' roll believer.

How come Boston sold out so fast then? Smaller venue?

Fenway show are like events in themselves. A lot of people just go because it's a show at Fenway.  

Tommy is a rock 'n' roll guy. Of course he's not going to relate to noodlers like Buckethead. 

off topic but potentially relevant...

Well, the crime was never "hidden".... there has been numerous reports in the press about what happened. The thing is no one paid attention to it, in part because the narrative used was that of an anecdote... like even Axl and Slash talked about it and they described the sexual act as consented, plus we never heard the girl's side of the story.

 

There's even a reference to it in the Appetite For Destruction thanks list: "Richard Caballero (for keeping Axl and Slash outta jail)"

 Duff is a good guy but he's not a particularly talented one. I mean, great bass player for sure but as a singer and songwriter?  Not so much. So this Guns three-union is the best thing that could have happened to him and he doesn't want to fuck it up...and that means staying on the good side of Big Red. So he spouts the party line and that is not going to change.

He's not wrong. Three years plus since the three-union and not one note of new music. They're still like 'yeah we're thinking about looking into maybe doing it'.  It's ridiculous.
