Luigi’s Mansion III and Animal Crossing. Yoshi’s Crafted World looks awesome. Fantastic direct. 9/10 for me.

I doubt that’s true, but crazier things have happened.

Axl actually looks pretty badass here, not going to lie

If Axl is there, I hope he takes notes from Myles how to sing songs like Rocket Queen and other GNR songs. And also reconsider who he chose for his drummer.

Why not trade it in for a pro before it dies?  Both Sony and Microsoft have offered amazing trade-in offers where the cost of upgrading isn't so severe.  

This is the primary reason why I've stayed with Xbox, along with liking their controllers better.  I would have bought a PS4 Pro but get more use out of my Xbox One S with its ability to play 4K discs.  Will likely upgrade to the X when a promotional trade-in window opens again.  

Microsoft is known for having insane Black Friday deals. I bet you could find the X for an insanely good deal then.

Oh Jesus Christ guys can’t we leave Guns songs alone from the SJW/#MeToo movement stuff? Please?

This is absolutely going to happen. 

Three reasons:

1. Slash's divorce to Perla. He needs to earn well for the rest of his life to support her. GnR has to be productive in order to do that.

2. Axl, Duff, and Slash forgot what it was like to be on top of the world until NITL. The insane amount of money thrown at them has more than likely changed their MO. The Appetite boxset being fast tracked is not a coincidence.

3. They are now a touring juggernaut. To continue, they need new music. No touring, no money. Simple as that.

Axl’s been touring the same songs since 2001. He doesn’t care about there being a new album to justify a tour.

Voted RIR III at first but I actually change my mind. The NITL version of this is much, much tighter and even though ‘17 RIR was a nightmare this song wasn’t. Fortus nails the Buckethead solo, the harmonies are great, and Axl’s voice is pretty damn awesome.

I always thought that he started off 2015 sounding better than the Black Ice tour. Not bad for a 68 year old deaf guy and certainly better than whatever Axl is currently doing with Guns.

2016 was brutal for Brian, yeah. Off key and off time. However, if they’ve got his hearing under control and he does a bit of voice coaching with more sporadic tour dates I think he’ll be fine.

Possibly. I still think Axl should’ve been the direction the band went in- would’ve breathed some fresh air and blood into the band and even if he’s really bad vocally with Guns he cares more with AC/DC to learn the material effectively. However I understand the other side of the coin- Brian brings more legitimacy to the AC/DC name and after seeing the shit Axl got for his 2001-2014 stint im glad Angus isn’t going out under a NuAC/DC band.

Only issue with Brian is that he sounds really rough now. I worry if he could maintain a 1.5-2 hour performance a night tour with his current state.

Okay fuck that I'm not risking it. It's a shame my laptop died because I could've used that. Have you seen the 3DS emulator? It's pretty sweet.

It looks damn awesome! The graphics kick the OG consoles ass to oblivion. Too bad my laptop can barely run pong or else I’d shoot for it. I’ve never played Pokémon X and Y or Suns and Moons (in depth at least) and wouldn’t mind giving it a spin on emulation.

That sounds fucking cool. Do you guys think emulation is safe security wise like no viruses or whatever? I'd love to emulate a bunch of SNES and 3DS games in particular.

Can’t promise that you wouldn’t get a virus. I’ve ruined my fair share of PC’s over the years from downloading emus. However I’m sure a techy person would be able to explain how to emulate something without that being an issue.

This guy was not in Guns N’ Roses. Frank Ferrer, Josh Freese, and Brain Mantia were. We can’t change history. Accept it and move on with your life, I promise, you’ll sleep better at night.

My most accurate guess is that Angus wishes to do something more classic and close to home after the passing of his two brothers in recent times, so he’s going out to find the most original lineup he can possibly get.

Day one purchase for me as I’ll have an Xbox One when this comes out. Love the art style. I’ve always been intrigued by the futuristic style shit ever since I watched The Jetsons as a kid.

How exactly would Guns lose money from an interview gone wrong? Not asking to be a smart ass. Legitimately asking.

I don’t really enjoy the song in general. I like it, but it always felt uncompleted to me. It feels like they wrote half a song and then just noodled an ending since they didn’t know what else to do with it.

I’ll tell you what, if I went to a Steven show I’d want to hear Guns covers. Don’t care much for his solo albums to be honest. 

I refuse to buy any of this new. The number one way to show a band, or a company (really this is more like a company) that you’re disasstisifed with them is to not give them any money. I feel as if they don’t deserve my money at the moment with how things have been. Vote with your wallets people.

Could make the same points about rock, though. Rock slang is mainstream slang now, people wear rock band tshirts, etc etc. Could say rock permeates other genres as well. Like others have said, this decade is different in that there is no real one dominant genre of music anymore.

Still, 20 million or so views is still a lot. Definitely not a 'dead genre.'

 

Never said it was a dead genre. However, rockers are definitely not commercial and definitely not what the mainstream listens to these days.

Yet “commercial music” is getting close to a billion views per videos. Proportions are everything.

Sunk another 2 hours into Sleeping Dogs last night. The combat ain’t too bad, I really sat down and learned exactly how to do it. I can’t get enough of this game! Incredibly fun and good experience.

Of course the most of us like rockers, we’re on a Guns N’ Roses forum. However the general public? Not a big amount truly listens to them anymore. It’s about rap music for the teenagers these days. (God damn I just made myself sound like a 80 year old man)

Yeah I got quite a few of those health upgrades, never bothered maxing them out, though. I paid £2 for the Definitive Edition and I definitely got a lot of bang for my buck. I recommend doing some training at the kung fu school if you're struggling, as well.

Thanks man, will do! This is a game I definitely want to see through to the end and am enjoying the hell out of so far. Very reminsicent of a GTA game more than an RPG, which caught me off guard because well, it’s Square Enix.
