The first Circus of Power album is a classic. Not quite an Appetite level classic but still. Definitely one of the best hard rock records of that period.

Two reasons..

1. He's in a position where he can continue bang hot young model types no matter how old and sloppy he gets.

2. If he got married that would be a threat to the power TB have over him...and that ain't gonna happen.

 Nobody hated Donald Trump until he ran for President

  None of the idiots who now worship like a god gave a single shit about him before he ran for president.

Also, Trump is the worst president in US history. All sane and civilized people know this.

That Nightrain from the other day was unreal. I thought it was some kind of spoof at first. He's using like five different voices and they're all terrible.

Pigeons of shit metal is just so good of an insult. I'd be riding it too for years no matter who said it

It really is fantastic. Gotta give it to Axl on that one. It's perfect.

What is he supposed or going to say besides nothing? You think Duff is going to be up front and honest on those types of subjects?  

Why not? What is the big goddamn deal about dealing with issues directly?  

Band sounds good but the songs are totally nondescript.

Don't know, but luckily Axl is not married to them.  I'm guessing that if he wants to get rid of TB it probably doesn't require an army of lawyers (or even antibiotics.) 

Not married , but if Axl ever tried to get rid of Beta I have no doubt it would end up costing him a fuckload of money.

The massive success of Appetite for Destruction is kind of unfortunate in a way. If it had just gone gold or maybe even platinum - basically enough to keep them going/signed but not make them superstars , it would have been much better for the band long term. The original (and best) lineup would have stayed together longer and we'd have a lot more music.

Official shirt at the mall.  

Of course he does. He is one of the five guys that created that stuff. No drummer will ever play it better.

Well. He's a fool for not getting a prenup. A guy in his postion marrying a nobody like Perla and not working things out in advance is insanity.

Not his first marriage either so it's not like he didn't know how this stuff goes.. 

 Is it possible to write a rock song that's not instantly dismissed as generic?  Yes it definitely is.  Is it possible for guys like Axl and Slash at this point?  Maybe not.

Well I do like Steven and I don't  really like the NITL  version of Guns, but when you have the real lead singer and the real lead guitar player it has more legitimacy than...this. This is just a cover band that happens to have the real GNR drummer. It's not fair maybe, because in the end they are doing basically the same thing, but it is different. This is just lame.

Yes but he's not currently available. 

Axl did a great job but he was a fill-in singer and nothing more. Brian is the true AC/DC singer.

Slash and Duff integrate themselves into Chinese Democracy outtakes being extra careful not to disturb Buckethead's contributions?

Not that one.

I was very excited when they were on Farm Aid. Though they sounded tremendous. 

After that though things went down hill for me.  Steven was fired, I found the UYI albums very disappointing, then Izzy left and then it just went down the tubes from there. 

Dizzy and Teddy Zig Zag and the horns and back up singers and just all that  stuff. It was so depressing. They went from being one of the best rock band ever to an embarrassment. 

I love Jane's Addiction and Navarro's playing but I don't think he would have worked in Guns. He's not really a rock 'n' roll guy if you know what I mean. Not that they necessarily had to get someone just like Izzy but Guns needs some  rock n roll in their sound or it's not really Guns.

 And...Dave is not that guy. I mean, Jane's covered Sympathy For the Devil years before Guns did, and Dave has said he didn't want to do it because he hates the Stones.

It would be interesting to know how he determines which is a Guns idea and which is a SMKC idea.

That singer's pretty good but he's really just doing an Axl impression. Which I guess is to be expected since he comes from a tribute band..but it's not something I really want to hear.

 November '87 - Motely Crue tour

in this other clip here you can clearly hear the Crue onstage. Can't make out the song exactly...maybe Shout at the Devil? But it's definitely MC
