And I'm sure 90% of rock/hard rock music fans don't even know that song. 

It's a cool riff. Again, it's not even close to being as iconic or recognized as any GnR hit. 

Keep in mind rock music of that genre is maybe a tenth as popular as it was back in the late 80’s. No rock song will ever have the same appeal as a GN’R song released in their prime anyways. For the smaller genre that contains rock music these days, Slash’s songs Anastasia and Ghost were very well received and are played all the damn time on radios. 

I don’t even like Slash’s solo stuff all that much but I’m open to acknowledging pure facts about it.

Name the Slash tunes or Conspirator tunes that have become iconic. Whatever you say will be rationalizing and the fact is his solo stuff is not on the same level period. 

Anastasia is a great song that many have compared as a modern Sweet Child of Mine. Slash’s best post GNR riff in my opinion and one that I hear on the radio quite often actually.

I don't see how AC/DC will continue soon. Angus may need time to mourn the loss of two brothers and I can't see him going on a massive tour right now.

Bet you S”MK”C will continue on with a new singer. Slash has been hanging out with a lot of the conspirators as of late and he’s not going to want to sit still and want for Myles to return.

And if he’s not going to wait for Myles, he’s sure as fuck not going to wait around for Axl to do anything.

Ahh I see! I missed those posts. Thought all the fuss was over his awkward LA show post. 

Im pretty sure WAR is Axl cos  why would recording or touring be like getting ready for war. 

Maybe they are trolling us in an attempt to hide the fact they are in the studio recording Guns. 

I doubt it I don't know what to make of it anymore 

I have no idea anymore with this band. Who knows.

So Ashba is joining WAR as a bass guitarist, Axl is joining WAR as a vocalist, Angus family is joining WAR as guitarist and rhythm, and Chris Slade is their drummer in order to finish their new album Stay of Execution...is that what’s happening haha i always knew the unofficial social media thread would be better than the official one 

I mean...uh....sure

Good question. Anyone know?

I’ll answer since it’s pretty much my fault this discussion is going around right now lol

One of Ashba’s most recent posts on Instagram is a guitar rack that musicians have particularly for tours. The caption reads “Getting ready for WAR”

Sounds like nothing, no? WAR is presumed to stand for William Axl Rose and matches with a trademark Axl registered around the start of the NITL tour. Ashba also posted a photo with Axl recently.

All rumors and speculation of course. But that is where it comes from and is pretty  wise speculation knowing what we know.

Might check out the LA show, as I don’t live too far from it. I’d hate to miss possibly the last Bucket show I could realistically attend.

If I go I’ll update you guys how it is  

2007. Really didn’t think it sounded that good this year. Being tuned down with a weakened Axl didn’t help. 

I think I want CD II more than anyone but I sincerely think SMKC III is a more likely scenario.

I wonder if Bumblefoot will guest and play Atlas Shrugged while bouncing on a bogo stick.

Finally remembered to post my friend code here. Anyone that wants to is welcome to add me. My son plays it a great deal more than I do, just an FYI:

You should’ve gone the Xbox One X route. More powerful and the Xbox division is truly more gamer-centric than Sony’s is. Plus 360 and OG backwards compatibility.

Just my humble thoughts on the “Gen 8.5” we have going on

How come Dizzy Reed’s solo tour gets PTU but GNR’s doesn’t? :/

Is axl house in danger ? I just saw the news that some people in LA are being evacuated because of the fire 😢. Hope he and his animals are ok . 

No, I live in southern California and Axl’s house is not near the fires.

Breath of the Wild wins GOTY! Fuck yeah...amazing game from start to finish. Definitely deserved it.

Fucking yeah! Bayonetta 3 exclusive for Switch+Bayonetta 1 & 2 coming.

Long live the Switch!

Was pleasantly surprised to see that announced! Good choice by Nintendo to display a mature rated game announcement here- they’ve gotten so much damn better at advertising. Props to em.

Breath of the Wild just won best game direction...here’s hoping either that or Odyssey wins GOTY!

Here's another idea, a new area; a coastal city where you can build custom houseboats. Part of the story could be rebuilding parts of Hyrule, now that Ganon is defeated people and creatures new and old return. One of the places you rebuild could be that colliseum, which would be used for the online multiplayer.

P.S. Yes, there definitely are similarities to GNR, fortunately/unfortunately.

All I can say is please figure out a way to get yourself a job at Nintendo

My biggest hope for it is to include more side-quests. I'd also like the ability to build hideouts/shelters or at least purchase more properties.

How would you(and anyone else reading this) feel about a multiplayer DLC?

Love the idea, would buy it within nanoseconds, would never happen with Nintendo.

((just me or do Nintendo and GNR have a lot of similarities..?))

Just now, Oldest Goat said:

Neat. I just bought the season pass the other day too.

Look into the trailer, you get a pretty damn sweet prize for beating the second DLC pack as well

When's that?

Live streamed right now. Pretty interesting reveals such as BOTW DLC #2.

Anyone watching the game awards?

I love how much Axl is an animal lover

People who say there will be no new GNR music base their opinion on Axl's track record.  And yeah, it's not good.  We all know why.  So in a way, I don't blame them.  

Personally, I'm not judging Axl by his attitudes and behaviour from 15, 10, even 5 years ago.  People change over time and learn from their mistakes.  We've seen evidence of that already in small, but important ways: acting more professionally, Axl turning up on time, not giving interviews or explaining themselves (from their POV this is the right thing to do).

I’d agree with literally everything you’ve said if Axl had showed any signs of wanting to release something and be more consistent in music releases. However, when asked about new music, he gave a very vague answer and was even unsure if Slash and Duff would be on it. They cut out vague statements of talks of new music from the Brazil interview. These ideologies going forward replicate exactly what we got during NuGuns. You also have to keep in mind Axl isn’t going to be able to sing the way he is for the rest of all time- age is catching up with the man already, and I can’t see him touring a new Guns album in 15 years.

Slash's recording an album that's already written. That's a matter of about a month. He's restless. This album has nothing to do with any Guns release period.

Axl may be working with Ashba. Pure speculation but possible. 

Axl himself showed sign he would like to work with Slash and Duff again. It would be great... his own words. Does that mean they'll do it for sure? Of course not. I don't know their plans nor do I think I can figure out all possibilities that could happen in the future. People change their minds all the time. Only time will show us what will happen. I'm not very optimistic by myself but I didn't lost hope. 

You think you KNOW what will happen? Great for you and your self-awareness. Sorry to say I rather trust my experiences. The future is often unpredictable. 

People change their minds all the time, but Axl sure hasn’t by giving a very vague statement in regards to new music during the Chinese Exchange interview. Of course I don’t know what will happen. I never claimed to say I know what the future holds, but from Axl’s past records and his opinions not seem to differing much from the NuGuns years I can heavily speculate what will. Believe it or not I am an optimist. I’m just not a blind one.
