Sooooo......Duff is posting vidoes with Matt, Gilby is on his way to Brazil...UYI reunion section for these shows?  I'm seeing Buckethead tomorrow, so i'll ask if hes headed to South America anytime soon!  Wouldnt be the worst idea;  half the show with current band, then a half with one of the other incarnations of the band.

Not a massive hater myself but also not a fan - I think most people found him to be insincere and more about image/celebrity rather than actually contributing.

THIS.  I thought he was ALL about image and added little or nothing to the band.  I saw them at one of the UCAP shows and he was so cringy i couldn't look at him.  He would have been a better fit in Poison.

hahaha I guess they are trolling idk

Yuck.  I can't imagine they would sabotage their last gig having him show up.

Would you accept Steven Tyler to finish the shows? Would be interesting for me.

Would give Axl plenty of time to rest, get surgery if needed and build his voice back up.

Considering that Steven Tyler is in a drug rehab, and had to cancel the Aerosmith tour because of it, he probably wouldn't be a good choice....

Just watched the Chinese Democracy video; I have to say thats the best version I've heard since the reunion started.  

No love for Frank on Beta's instagram?  https://www.instagram.com/tv/CehGL1nDfVV/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

9 out of 10 hands say Def Leppard won't play the Super Bowl either. 

 

Zing! 

Wouldn't it be 9 out of 9? 

I'm glad Bucket left; gave him more time to put his own music out and tour.  As for DJ Ashba- I could walk into Union Square right now and hear a better guitar player. I saw him at the UCAP Terminal 5 gig , and it was one of the worst shows I have ever seen; I actually walked out half way through.  He sucks.

it's me i can ask dumb questions sometimes the thread can be locked if it is stupid

Dude - go easy on yourself!  You asked a question because you were genuinely curious about something, and wanted others opinions.  Just because a couple of douchebags wrote snarky remarks doesn't mean its a stupid question or the thread should be locked!  Theres a thread here about Axl's cat, for fucks sake.  

I've heard a little of London's stuff and thought it sounded pretty good.  And I don't think the PInk Slips are terrible.  I'll have to look up Gilbys kid - dont know anything about him, and actually wouldn't even known he existed if it wasn't for your question, so thanks for asking!

Definitely 

Just watched the video for the 3rd time, and 2 things stand out;  I agree 100% -  I think the guitars are much heavier in this video compared to the release; and there are WAY more photos of Wolfie than there are of Frank in the video...

Perhaps they are sleeping in. 

Perhaps they are embarrassed.

There may be some sort of live release eventually, but there will never be a "new" GN'R album, with original material created by the current line-up- I dont understand why that is so hard for some of you to understand.  Slash just confirmed it.  Its over.  Move on....

I am out likes, but I totally agree he has been in great physical shape this year, way better than even 2019 in terms of what we have seen

I had an extra like, so i gave you one of mine 

I've have every incarnation of this song, from the original 14 second Jackie Chan clip to the official release, and i think this version absolutely rocks. If this ends up being the last new music we get from them, not a bad way to go out.

11 minutes ago, WhazUp said:

Nothing is 100 percent confirmed but I think the general consensus (and my own view as well) is that it is Slash on all guitars and Frank on drums

So no Fortus at all?  Seems weird.  And I think the verses could have used an extra guitar track...

Hard to believe that, after all these years, Checkmate has officially come to life.  Although I've had the leak for years, I still considered a proper, studio release of this song as the Holy Grail of GN'R stuff.  Amazing day indeed.

I invite you all to read the official Iron Maiden statement on social media, the difference is astonishing

Very well done by Maiden; extraordinary, considering who knows what the world will look like next year (virus Phase II, etc)

FWIW; We were just notified on Saturday that the Robert Plant show we were supposed to see on May 19th in Portchester NY was cancelled.

Unfortunately, yes. 

That just popped up in my Amazon feed and I immediately came over here for the impending evisceration

The band can't figure out how to release music during periods of 'normality', let alone during a global pandemic. Sometimes I think Axl and TB enjoy holding this music back, knowing how much we want it. It's their petty revenge for all of the shit that's posted online about them.

Exactly this.  The fake set list photos, his reddit appearances...that certainly seems like-to me- Fernando just jerking the fans around for all the stuff they say about him.  Especially now, with everyone stuck at home, I'm sure he posts stuff like that and then sits back and laughs at the response.  Gotta amuse yourself somehow in these difficult times.

That could be an option, maybe. @downzy? 

The only problem with that is, people like me, who have been "lurking" forever but dont post get kicked to the curb. I get all my info from here, but don't post because I dont feel like, in most instances, i have anything of substance to add.  I've been following the band since 1987, seen then them 8-10 times, and consider myself a legit fan of the band. There are a lot of people here that have great info and insight into the band, and its nice to be able to come here and see it.  If you make it so people have to have a certain amount of posts to get in, youre gonna get a lot of people who just post replies solely to get in.  Has to be a better way. I got tossed out of Truth 2-3 years ago for posting that I liked the site better when it was run by MSL and his wrestling buddies - banned FOREVER; tried twice to re-register, only to be denied, and later contacted by someone from there saying not to bother trying again; me and my 15 posts werent welcome.  So, punted out of 1 site for expressing my opinion, and then potentially blocked from another, far better, legitimate site for not expressing my opinion enough?

THIS SITE IS WAY ABOVE THAT! 

I dunno - if you want to make it an exclusive site, where post count is the only thing that matters, would that be doing the legitimate, i love the band but dont have the time to post about them all day, fans any good?  We aren't the issue here - its the pyschopathic, lonely, mentally disturbed people like fuckball at Truth that you need to block. I just think it would be a shame to tell people like me, who do no harm to the site (and in many ways help by not adding our 2 cents 20 times a day just to have our voices heard)  that we aren't qualified to be members...thats my 2 cents...once.

Well, it was also on the Alt list. Cant imagine a song would be listed that wasnt rehearsed (Axl not included).

I"m sorry, but considering the absolute (deserved) beating that Fernando etc takes here on a regular basis, don't you think that maybe they throw some of these songs on the alt list just to fuck with the diehard fans - knowing that the list is going to show up on line either right before or right after the gig and get tongues wagging- to amuse him (them) selves?

KOHD really? I think the raw 80's live versions are so much better than the one that made the album. Even polished like this it's a great song but the phone call and the gospel choir turned it into a turd.

Completely agree about the earlier live versions - far superior. And as great as NR ended up, I would have preferred it to be an orchestra free, more acoustic beginning...
