    The first ones i liked but now I hate them. It's always the same shit. 

    It's the only way for them to reach big parts of their 30mil Facebookfans. Depending on the FB algorithms it's a bit of a gamble who of the casual fans sees such a posting. I run a FB site with only 60k users and we reach only about a quarter to a third with such little clips, so I guess it's the same for them just with bigger numbers.

     

    We  as heavy users on the other hand get every clip. Annoying, but well it serves a purpose.

  2. I don't get the hate for Billy Talent. For me they are the perfect openers for GNR. Strong melodies and recognizable songs; very energetic and powerful performance; not overly complex artsy fartsy stuff but straight in your face rock. Sure the singer screams often, but he really can sing too and does exactly this most of the time. All taken togerher always made me see them as a pretty direct offspring of classic GNR.

     

    I'd go nuts if i could see BT/GNR in Europe. :(

  3. The article suggests that Axl found epiphanies in Niklas Luhmanns "Systemtheorie" and used the resulting insights and enthusiasm to get GNR back on track. Then follow several fictional dialogues during the reunion process, featuring slash and co as if they were philosophers and sociologists themselves, uttering overlycomplex tidbits from these sciences. And so on (sorry, typing on a phone)

    I think it's supposed to counter all the detailed analyses and critiques that way - ironically showing that it was exactly none of that but "only rock n rolll" in the best sense.
