Powderfinger

Sometimes this band is like a bad sports team, they fail at the basics of a few simple tasks. That Illusions boxset would have been so much cooler if it had a tour doc with it, or any kind of documentary. Metallica have been putting up home video bootlegs of old concerts on YouTube, it would be great if GnR did something like that.  

A fake working class hero is something to be.

So they've apparently only sold 15k for Netherlands so far. 

Im guessing sales are slow all over, I’ve checked a few dates and those were 30% sold or so.

It would be great if they announced a tour but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe they'll do a few more shows but can Brian do a long tour?

This is it man, who knows what’s possible with Brian’s hearing the way it is. Their FB page has a post saying something like “just this once” which doesn’t give much hope. I’ve seen them 8-10 times over the years, but would love to see them one last time.

When my dad found out about this show he texted me "GNR are playing the old man power tour" It's at least a decade too late and like the original Desert Trip, tickets will be heavily discounted leading up to the show.

Hopefully it's a nice farewell to Ozzy and ACDC though, Saturday would definitely be the best night to go to.

I’m really hoping this is not a one off for AccaDacca, hopefully they announce a tour around this. 

It’s 10-15 years too late maybe. 
 

Maiden still sounded great last time I heard them in 2019, Metallica still are ok live, likewise with Tool. Ozzy, if he makes it, is probably going to be using pre recorded vocals and 10 years ago it would have been a Sabbath set. AcDc… I assume it will be Brian and hope it’s good but there’s a Malcom shaped hole in the sound, he really drove that band. GnR… Axl sounded better 10 years ago I’ll leave it at that.

1. Slash
2. Axl 
3. Matt

I don't see Slash as talent, its just practice hours for hours and his spirit to play and make music with alot of musicians forever

He has pure raw talent that you cannot learn. How can you not see that? 
He was 19-20 when he recorded Appetite. Look how melodic the solo is on SCOM? Look at the feel and musicality of Estranged a bit later.. He was a natural musical talent. IF practice produced guitar players like Slash we’d have thousands. Learning to play Slash’s solos is one thing, writing them is another. There’s so much emotion is Slash’s early playing that cannot be taught, it’s an expression of the person themselves, and that’s pure talent. Slash worked hard at his craft, but the music was already in him. 

The Pretenders are a great band, that’s a cool addition to the bill.

women think the same as men?

In the same way using their brains. That’s HOW they think yes, what they think is up to them, same as you.

tell me then, what metoo has done to benefit the sexual freedom of women? In what ways, has metoo made it easier for women to find a sexual partner?

The flower power movement, you know, your parents, have taken care of that.

what has metoo done to improve on that?

how are company guidelines, that forbid sexual relations on the workfloor, in any way benefitting the liberty and freedom of choice of women?

metoo seems to present, that women are asexual beings who do not want sexual relations with colleagues. This is hopelessly out of touch. This is only only one example of a direct shift to a more conservative society where women are restricted. 

(From my perspective) 

The Metoo movement was not about Womens sexual freedom, it was about appropriate sexual behaviour from Men. IF the flower power generation had dealt with that we wouldn’t see the issues we have over the 50 years since then. Most women I know who go to work do so to earn money to pay their bills like I as a man do. Why would they want to be hit on in the middle of a work day?

I think they played Use to Love Her also

Too many gigs all blurred into one… 

I actually saw VR do this cover, I just looked over the setlists of the VR gigs I was at, and they did “Used to love Her” at the very first VR gig I was at in 2005…. I was sure they also covered “wish you were here” at that gig, but it was a different one. I saw VR 4 times and It’s morphed into 1 gig in my head.

Brent nailed it especially when it came to the Gn'R drum feel imo, except the guitars, of course. Some drummers can do the Gn'R feel better than others. It's not something you can learn.

Sorum banged the pots in VR.

Velvet Revolver played GN'R songs regularly live

I only recall Brownstone, It’s So Easy & Patience form the few times I saw them, were there other GnR covers?

Fun "fact", the upcoming album, titled Release The F'N' Hounds, is now delayed because the title can be percieved as being racially insensitive towards people of color.

Woke Wankers…..

“release the hounds” as we all know is slang for getting your testicles out.

I don’t know if there is a correlation between women “getting their puppies out “ and men “releasing the hounds” but there could be…

GNR are the same level now as Avenged Sevenfold and Korn? 

Not sure if they're bigger in the US but both those bands would struggle to do Arenas here unless it was part of some package tour. 

Where’s here? 

It’s The Stones innit…

Just a weird game. It didn't hit me as hard as when we lost 6-1 to Tottenham, which was more representative of where we were at the time. This game was a fluke, for both teams, which is confirmed by our seasons. Still, excellent by Liverpool, they needed United go get back into the swing of things. 

I’m friends with a lot of United fans and kept my mouth shut last weekend. United will finish higher and with more trophies than us, that 7-0 result will be  the highlight of our season. 
 

I shudder to think what will happen against Madrid. There’s a slim chance we score 4 but there’s zero chance we keep a clean sheet. Watch them set Vinicius Jr on Trent and spend 90 minutes running at him…. Carnage awaits. I hope I’m wrong. 

Normal service resumed. 

I knew Bournemouth would be a possible loss, it took Arsenal 98 minutes to beat them last weekend… 

What pisses me off is all it takes is a long ball over the top and we’re done. Everyone can see it apart from the staff and players. Somethings rotten in the state of Denmark. These guys are a shadow of what they were a year ago.
