Speaking of a reunion show, YouTube has a 2017 show they did in Slane where the crowd was DEAD. 😬🥴😵‍💫 The Crowd politely clapped like it was a fucking high school Talent Show you REALLY didn't want to go to, but your 16 year old niece is one of the Talents and you did it out of Family Obligations. 😬🥴

 

Slash was fucking FROWNING, which I don't blame him. If I were straight shredding on the guitar and got polite claps, I'd be frowning too! 😬🥴

I was at Slane and you're talking absolute shite.

Common sense. The history of how much just gets swiped. (Olly Moss/Gearbox etc)

Common sense would be assuming that its produced under copyright license especially with Slash's dealings with Universal and their horror stuff. A lot gets 'swiped' as you keep putting it but a band as huge as GN'R aren't going to get away with that, your local band for a Halloween show, sure.

You don't open with a new song unless it was recently released and the crowd would recognize it. But this is GNR so everything is out the window lol

They opened Rock In Rio 2 with Pretty Tied Up, months before anyone had heard.

That is just a straight, lazy trace of a pressphoto from The Dream Warriors. Just a cheap violation of the rights of the one owning the photo rights. Not much work involved there and swiping art should not be something Guns N' Roses support.

How do you know it was swiped and not produced under license?

Northern Ireland, UK here and its coming up Guns N' Roses for me too....

Interesting, gonna take a listen.
I remember Mark and Izzy were working on something together prior to JuJu Hounds? Or am I wrong?

Marc appears uncredited on Ju Ju Hounds.

Izzy was asked to join Black Crowes, or at least consider it, but he was fed up with bands and declined.

I asked Steve Gorman about this on the AFD podcast and he said himself it was bullshit and Izzy was never considered.

I haven't heard it yet, but what's the Aerosmith Pump thing?

cheers

Sadly yes. Duff has went way down in my estimation too. The way Axl is performing, Slash too, it's just dead, no Izzy etc. It all just proves it was too little, too late for me. Sad.

The Big Three refers to Axl, Slash and Izzy Stradlin NOT Axl, Slash and Duff McKagan

Gilby Clarke suits GN'R much better than Richard Fortus, who I love, but no.

Frank Ferrer ruins November Rain live.

Rhiad was good.

Street of Dreams is painful.

Prostitute is genius.

Izzy's Ju Ju Hounds, 117 Degrees and Like a Dog are better than any other solo album from Guns members.

Ain't Life Grand is Slash's best post Guns work

Listening to Duff's Tenderness is akin to fucking a Coke can

Slash had to double up rhythms on Civil War and Locomotive and Axl played rhythm guitar on Shotgun Blues and West Arkeen on The Garden. 3 of those are great songs without any Izzy contributions. So theres that I guess. 

Izzy always plays amazing on their songs though and they always ride so much higher on Izzy's. It really is such a fucking shame that things couldn't be worked out with Izzy, Steve and Matt. I know the average Joe and a lot of hardcore fans are happy as fuck with the "reunion" but I'm gutted. 

It's STILL not Guns N' Roses for me. Those 7 guys inducted in 2012. That's Guns N' Roses.

Izzy has played on some Mellencamp records so I guess they know each other in some way.

Still have Chinese Democracy and Don't Cry Alt. here in Northern Ireland (UK). Winder why its gone down south? Crazy

Why do you always censor the word „fucking“?

Always wondered that too, I mean its for Guns N' Fucking Roses fans who say fuck, cunt etc in 75% of their songs. It bewilders me.

Do tell. I'm really interested.

Ok, cool. I mentioned on Appetite for Distortion when I was guest on ep. 27.

Anyway, it was one of the few days I was doin ok and the GN'R planet was not. 

That day was Slash, Billie Idol, Aerosmith, STP and Motorhead. Tbh unreal. I'm good friends with Tory from Enough Z'nuff. It was special. I saw Slash pissin wearing his hat. Had a piss wi Lemmy etc. Drank with Aerosmith, shared beer with Myles. Just good guys l had a  beer kinda succesful but 8 got spend time with the guys who set it up. Was unreal guys.

Thought it was interesting that Ron's new band Sons Of Apollo will be playing that same festival as GN'R.

Reminded me of Download 2010, we were backstage and Slash and STP were playing a few slots apart, we watched both from the side of the stage and Slash (who had bad blood with Scott at the time) blew us away by coming up to watch STP with us. 

I have a lot of cool stories about that day. Was amazing.

Is Man U not cool?  I always thought they were?  There you go, I learned something today.  Wasn't David Beckham considered cool?

He's considered a thick twat mostly in the UK. Especially by those not English. 

Cool clubs: it would seem my own team Celtic strikes a chord with the rich and famous mostly due to its representation of Irish immigrants and heavy left leaning fan base. Robert Downey Jr, Keifer Sutherland, Snoop Dogg, Lana Del Rey, Coolio, Jay Z have all been seen wearing Celtic shirts and attending games and inside the UK have attending fans like James McAvoy, Billy Connolly, Rod Stewart, Paulo Nutini, Gerard Butler.... The list goes on. 

Our sister club  in Germany St Pauli are considered pretty cool too cos they share our left leaning politics and have that whole Skull & Crossbone merch and a huge punk following. 

Some people follow a band like a football team or any other sport esoecially to the 'extremes' of seeing it as a represantaion of themselves which is what teams in the UK are like. 

I don't. I see music like food, its a matter of taste, not necessarily support. I wouldnt berate someone for not liking bacon or spicy food so I'm not going to charge through and go nuts on someone if they dont follow or rate my favourite band/guitarist/sing etc. Its daft. 

As someone mentioned though, ones cool is anothers hate. 

Just my 2 cents. 

Ian Scotto to Scott Ian in one fell swoop. Unreal guys. Thanks again. 

Sir Kev ❤️

Uhuh. And?

My point is they were going for global domination from day one. Well at least 3 of them. Arlette's book can be in her language because it would sell there and is about HER. Its a WORLDWIDE brand, this is the WORLDWIDE web and not everything has to be in English.

I think in this interview she said that no one knew GN'R when they first arrived to the UK

Yeah she did but they established a following there before any outside LA which was the WHOLE IDEA.

I dont know what the book is about, to be honest, but I assumed it would be about her life as a publicist for big bands and artists of Hollywood...

So I assumed her target audience would be in America rather than Belgium or dutch speaking countries... wouldnt ya think?

That's odd.

Not really. The band are HUGE worldwide, and its about HER success, not theirs.

Izzy is uncredited on Civil War but he plays on it, if you listen carefully to the left channel you can hear Izzy's guitar, it has his tone and style of playing, totally different from Slash's style, but Slash do some overdubs on clean guitar. Coma is the opposite, Izzy is credited but Slash do all the guitar parts.

I respectfully disagree. Izzy was in Europe getting sober at the time of the recording of Civil War. Slash recorded his parts as it was released for Nobodys Child a year and a half before UYI.  

On Coma its clearly Izzy, especially the chops at the start of the solo (which Richard never does annoyingly). Izzy has spoken about Coma many times albeit mostly to do with performing it live. 

Izzy has aslo stated he is credited for everything he did. If anyone can help out with a link to that thatd be awesome.

Well, I'm old school. Mobile phones do my head in. I keep mine usually switched off in my pocket. 

I use mine for work, news, internet, camera. 

Are they really still called MOBILE phones too? I mean who in this day and age still has one hardwired to the wall? To me its just phone.

There's no substitute for reading a newspaper or magazine. The amount and quality of information in them is so much superior to that found online....not to mention the reliability and accountability aspects formed by ISPO and suchlike. 

Also (and this may just be a personal thing) you consume and retain things you read in them so much more. No distractions maybe? You scroll through stuff online- reading a paper or magazine makes you ACTUALLY read them. They also ensure you aren't only reading the news stories and articles you want and choose to (i.e. the echo chamber) and are instead being subjected to ideas and thoughts that may challenge you or stop you forming a shielded world view where the only thoughts and opinions you hear are those identical to your own. 

 

Thats absurd. I have The Guardian, New York Post, New Yrok Times, Sky News and BBC news all as apps on my phone. Constantly updated,  with videos and most of all free and  a shit tone more content than in a paper.

Really? I buy a newspaper when I'm travelling and buy two magazines per month. 

I have a Guardian App etc. No need to pay for a newspaper when its free on my phone and supplemented  with videos etc.
