moreblack Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 the comments to his blog says it all:I might have taken your review seriously if you weren't a tragically looking cretin so obviously mad at the world for letting people who are far more talented than you achieve fame and fortune. Clearly using the word "black person" in a song means that the band are promoting racism... The notion that Slayer are progressive and that the Sex Pistols are better than anyone put me in hysterics. I could write a 15 page article lamenting the fact that you get paid to write your drivel on a fairly prestigious website but I think I've said enough. Twat.

Chewbacca Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I don't give a fuck, that's just his opinion anyway. Who gives a fuck about what John Doran has to say about AFD? He doesn't like it? Whatever. It seems that Gn'R is a bit too mainstream and sold out for him. I agree, and I couldn't be happier with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packersnroses Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 "the rest of the album is packed full of trite and boring (yet still offensive) lyrics"What an idiot. Fuck that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Sooo.. basically the author popped a ton of adderalls and then started babbling wildly and slightly incoherently all the while trying to sound sophisticated. It's fucking gibberish, it really is. The substance of his observations are shallow and errant, but he made sure to sound 'clever.' ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 In a way its satisfying to read that many uncreative immature metaphors in something that's attempting to slam an album I love, kind of legitimizes how badass of a record it is when a piss poor unfunny writer is writing a bad review for it. GNR is an easy target because there are so many GNR haters out there, they write shit like this because they know it'll stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB. Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Some arguments, he used, against Appetite and Axl are exactly the same as about 20 years ago. He is certainly not very orgininal.I don't mind people not liking the record, but calling it hair metal and using arguments, which has nothing to do with the music, is very annoying.

LesPaul_Player_91 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Poor article, it was obviously just written to be controversial, the guy obviously doesn't like heavy rock so it's no surprise he doesn't like AFD and GN'R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tange Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Here is the thing to the average person it appears that Axl is one of two things. 1. a grandstand artist that creates controversy to get attention-- i.e. Manson song, one in a million or 2. a real prick when it comes to diversity and minorities and women. We know that the second is probably not true due to the Elton John and Freddie Mercury thing. He worships those two guys. Most critics never picked up on the first but i think there is credence to the argument. Hey he was in a band to sell records and get shit stirred up. No prob in my mind but i think if you dont understand the first point it might lead you to the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlinWolf Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 This guy is a f'n tool.. Who would waste that much time writing about an album they hate?? Is that all they do over there?

Guest siliconmessiah Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) AFD?Overrated?This is what got my youth years going. I am 28 years old now. I remember being 18, digging out some old dusty LP:s from my friends older brothers place, drinking my first beers & booze to Nightrain. Then we bought the Ritz show on VHS and it was some good years there. =)AFD overrated?No. Not even a little bit.But I can agree that it has become a little outdated. Just as all the Beatles records etc.We need the re-recorded one, with Buckets solo! Edited August 3, 2011 by siliconmessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Something that I've learned over the course of the last 13 years I've been using message boards is this. No matter how sound the argument, no matter how sound the logic...there will ALWAYS be atleast a few people who will argue against it. It's just the nature of the internet. Everyone's just itching to argue...even if it's just for arguing's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
