Powderfinger

This is not to condone any of the more obviously misogynistic lyrics, but the planet was a completely different place in 1987. The world today and then are incomparable. 

What band today would have strippers on stage, the strippers being the girlfriends of band members, it was a lifestyle. I don’t disrespect them because they had their tits out on stage and I don’t think they were exploited either.

And reading Marc’s book it seems the women themselves didn’t feel exploited and just were part of a group of people and friends around the band helping build hype.

Marc gave cash, Desi went onstage in fishnets. Fine. People fuck. Fine.

The Sex Pistols had plenty of the same GNR did in their run as a band, bondage, strippers, prostitutes, naked chicks on records, stripper girlfriends, heroin.

Nirvana, stripper wife, junkies, domestic abuse reports, but it’s not commented on really because punk and grunge are seen as more “enlightened” , the guns era will be judged harshly in the modern era.

I’m all for outing any fuck that crosses the line, but don’t point the finger at people who indulged in the way everyone did equally at a point in time. It can’t be judged by today’s standards.

WHAT?! are you talking about? Are you drunk? 

Or is there a video / pic missing? lol. 

Not drunk, a tad stoned yes. 😂 

I made a joking statement that I was sure some tit on this board would take seriously so I decided to skip down a few lines and explain myself to the tit before the tit took it seriously.

so your classic overthinking stoner stuff I guess. 😂

The Beatles or The Stones or Izzy.

Thats the new question. 

Of course im being facetious, - you whatever random fucker you are, that’s about to drone on about “you can’t put Izzy against the Beatles” well I am.

Izzy would be the last man standing. 😂

In the case of The Stones, I believe Izzy would defer to Keef, out of respect. As one should.....

It’s only fucking etiquette but I like it, like it, yes I do.

Someone please tell me how an amazing set which is literally packed full to the brim with actual content is being sold for $200, but we get a barely noticeable remaster, demos that we've already had for years (decades?), and a box full of useless crap for a fucking grand. What the fuck?

If we got something like this I would have pre-ordered it in a heartbeat.

They’ve done the same with Kill Em All, Lightening, and puppets. I’m not a big Metallica fan but I was tempted with the puppets one and it was definitely worth it, the remaster also sounds great. 

Translated from Guns N Roses speak : Locked N Loaded = turn around bitch I got a use for you. 

Duffs the money guy now, no question. While Axl had control of the brand we had fuck all. Merch, gigs, re-releases at $1000. Duff basically bought him and Slash back in with the dough they are producing as a brand now. 

The band has no integrity, they left that out on highway 65.

The 90s where the best era ever 

This.

I don’t even know how this music would sound to me if I didn’t have it in the context of that time.

The period from Appetite through grunge up to 1996 and the end of Britpop was brilliant. Great music, great drugs and great great bands. 

An earlier poster mentioned his Aunt was a nun who bought him the albums.... I went to a Catholic school and the teacher would rattle on 2-3 times a week about bands being Satanic and all this bollocks. Madonna with her black jesus and all that stuff. Guns were a prime target of this monkeys ire. Droning on about playing their music backwards and getting messages.... being into Guns in the area I grew up in was for people who were “trouble” ...drinkers, bikers, stoners, coke heads, fighters. It was a lifestyle for sure. And it was fucking great 😂

Nirvana are also a band that make no sense now. They stopped making sense to me the day he was found dead. That period was a great great time to be alive and into music. Nirvana and bands of that ilk were brilliant live, you knew the people at the gigs were cool, and it was pure joy when they played. It felt like music and society were changing at that time, it did feel somewhat revolutionary, tv shows like the word on channel 4 were chaotic, print media was changing, indie record labels were churning out hit after hit, the underground was coming overground there was a change happening. That ended the minute he was found dead for me. Nirvana have never sounded the same to me since. Oasis filled that gap. Seeing them live on the tours for the first two albums were brilliant gigs. But it ended in 96 I think, bullshit record company stuff got hold of music again around that time. 

Guns N Roses releasing UYI 1&2 on the same day and the tour that followed made perfect sense in the 90s. They were the last great rock band in the mould of Stones, Zeppelin, etc.... But no one knew it then.

The 90s pissed all over the 60s.

There, I said it. 😂

Pertaining to Illusion, Stradlin Exiled-up Physical Graffiti. 

And nothing can ever be Exiled up enough. 

More Exile

This Exile goes up to 11

Izzy was the soul of Guns. 

His songs from the illusions albums have stood the test of time better than some of the others. A great songwriter. (I’ll take a songwriting guitar player over a shredder any day)

I presume Izzy wrote that song when he was still massively high, but an interesting point of conversation is that once he got some sobriety under his feet, he buried himself in the legal end of GN'R's business. He wanted to know why if the band was the biggest act in the world, where the money is and why he wasn't massively rich. He began a campaign to pour into the records and try and make heads and tails of it and apparently, it was all very nebulous and confusing. So much so that he would be on the phone with someone, screaming "where's the money, motherfucker!"

To me, Double Talkin' Jive was representative of this point of time in Izzy's tenure, especially the line about getting the money and having no patience.

This, or it's from his time dealing. 

Double talkin jive is like lying\two faced bullshit.

I always thought Axl was nailing Slash. That would explain a lot.

If Axl Rose could turn quick enough he'd nail himself. 

That's how much he likes himself.

Err....they released in excess of 40+ songs from 1989-1991. That's a ton of songs in a pretty short period of time.  They have it in them to do it, or at least they did.

 

I wonder if Izzy leaving had anything to do with fuck all material being wrote after 91

I don't like what I've heard from the new album too much, but I guess I'll go. Last time I went to WiZink Center sound was fantastic, so I hope it improves from the shitty sound the had at Nice 2015

@Lio i payed 44€ in 2015, I still have the ticket in my room, so yes, prices have increased

For those asking for vip tickets, looks like there won't be. In past tours some people claimed to get autographs waiting for Slash after the show. In my case we were like 100 people waiting for him and the security guy said he wasn't going to sign.

He went out very quickly to the tour bus with Myles next to him (he said "Hey guys"). The guy next to me was able to touch his arm.

And forget about pictures, Slash doesn't like to take pictures, I've heard that in some shows security guys told waiting fans to make a row to get the autograph and also told them that if anyone took a picture it would be over

I got his autograph after a show in Vancouver, as you said it was a line and no photos. He was cool about it.

Hes also smaller than I thought he would be...

Axl was still fucking crazy, if he stopped a song you never knew if he'd finish it or walk off. 

Everytime I see this photo i think it looks like a man trying to catch his dinner. 

I reallly don’t miss the late starts and Walking off stage shit. I was at that Dublin show where he left the stage and he behaved like a fat spoiled child that night. He only came back on because the promoter and security wouldn’t let him leave the venue. 

What do the people who justified his bullshit then say now that he’s onstage every night on time?

Posting here because Slash plays on the song and is in the video. 

I was in the NAVY when this album came out so I wasn't watching really MTV and don't remember this video but it is pretty cool..  Always loved the song...  Slash and Gilby recorded some good shit together between Pawnshop Guitars and It's Five O'clock somewhere. 

 

I was in the pub most of the time when this album came out so I wasn't watching really MTV and don't remember this video. Or anything else for that time.

Don’t Forget Noisy Mothers, that dude Krusher was in that also. Those were the days..... 

Is this a young Phil Alexander conducting the interview??

(he was always a cock if so) 

They made sense then. It was part of the trajectory. 

Gilby opening for Izzy. That would take care of 2...
