George, Washington seems like an odd choice.

Is there a link to watch it, or is it only viewable on the app?

and he said hes just getting started...sweet

Damn, looks like he finished

I swear I remember Axl once started singing I Feel Good between songs several years ago.

I don't like the term "evolve" when it comes to entertainment.  Evolution implies "improvement", but that isn't always the case in these forms. 

I find new music by going to allmusic.com and going through the new release list every week, or hitting up bands/albums I already like on the site and it gives tons of similar acts or other recommendations.  The Temperance Movement has been one especially standout band I have really enjoyed the last few years. 

I have always been a fan of West, great talent.  Pretty funny when Slash brought up CC Deville.    Remided me how both Scott Ian and Sebastian Bach had "No CC Deville" in their VH1 contracts when they signed up for the Supergroup tv show.

That last paragraph really does seem like the lines of communication are more open than most believe.  New music would be excellent.  On that front, at least to me, the pressure is off.  Chinese Democracy carried that weight on release day, I think people would just love to hear these guys record something new together at this point.

This GnR vs Nirvana thing still burns me a bit when it comes up...and it inevitably seems to come up whenever discussion of 80s and 90s rock happens.   So much revisionist history, so much idol worship of Cobain.

Kurt was a self righteous dbag that slighted GnR's name at every chance until he died, which is what started the whole thing.  He was so far up his own ass, so desperately wanted to be the biggest rock star, constantly calling GnR and Axl especially childish names, untalented, etc, to get himself over (An early quote where he whined about how Guns was the biggest band in the world says it all).  His sycophantic followers, which grew tenfold after he killed himself, just parroted his lines and continue to do so.   

It is crazy how often I hear "corporate rock", "untalented", "sexist", "racist", or Guns getting lumped in with Poison and Enuff Z'Nuff when people start talking about GnR out and about.  The negative rhetoric has stuck, to a surprising degree over the years.  Ask someone to follow up those buzz terms with real analysis and their argument crumbles.

I watched the music episode of CNN's The 90s a couple of nights ago.  Not a word about Guns (I don't believe they were even mentioned in The 80s series made last year either).  All credit was given to Nirvana for changing the music scene from Hair Metal of the 80s.  I just can't believe how successful the post Cobain suicide revisionist history still is.  Guns broke down the walls of what gets played through radio and MTV, the way things are selected.  If that doesn't happen, that Seattle scene may not get a chance to crawl out of the PNW.

The funny thing in that video is the clip of the fan at a Nirvana concert that came on stage and asked why people can't like both bands/styles.  I never understood that either, but the flannel fans just wouldn't have it.   Most of the grunge heads I knew hated everything else, I think just because they were told everything else sucked.

I will be amazed if the lithograph isn't witch themed.

Have fun bro @J Dog

Salem witch trials were in Salem, Massachusetts.  Winston-Salem, North Carolina would be more tobacco themed.

If that doesn't bring back memories. The series ran from 1984-1989. 

And was released on bluray in 2016

Wasn't there supposed to be some "larger than life" thing happening at this event?  Or was that said because it was outdoor?

Is that the pit? It looks half full.

Are there people watching the show from an adjacent parking garage?

Those are the skyboxes at the stadium.

Little Rock is always on the list of most dangerous cities in the US.

It probably would've sold better too since you'd have Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma in the area

I think the demographics make more sense in NWA as well.  Little Rock metro area is larger, but I don't think it is a hard rock hotbed.  Hopefully it fills in well and doesn't look empty.

They are playing Tulsa, OK in November, so that might be why they chose the center of the state of Arkansas.  Not sure when each venue was announced, though.

Not sure why they chose Arkansas. It's not a very big market for the band

They should have played Northwest Ark, probably Fayetteville.  I would have gone.

So Fozzy and Weezer "remade" old GnR music videos this year...ok then.  This Weezer one would have made more sense if the song was maybe a bit more anthemic.  It's a bit flat, more pop than rock, reminds me of current day Train.

I think I prefer the GnR shoutout in this song

And...yeesh was that RS bit written by a disciple of grunge or what?  Classifying Guns as hair metal and then taking about hair metal excess... Surprised he didn't put in a line about corporate rock so that we could tell he kneels at the cross of Kurt Cobain.

Bucket's refusal to have anything to do with GNR is such a bummer. 

I'm always looking for little stories as to why he hates it so much. Whatever the reason is, it must've been brutal because I've heard he (used to, at least) turn and leave if a fan mentioned Chinese Democracy to him.

The chicken coop wasn't enough to his liking.

WCW did this a lot, and most of them are dubbed over on WWE Network now because of it.

Great show

Coma is just such a phenomenal work.

Good link please? Thanks in advance.

I still have the coupon they sent in the mail for a free Dr Pepper.  Possibly the definition of an oddball GnR collectable.

GnR probably needed to release an album to actually win the "Best Group" award.

Thanks for posting, don't need to bother with it.
