Thought the band was rocking until 2002 Axl popped up in that song.Is PC actually in that movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 he should call slash, sure sounds better than myles lollolno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Apparently so. The movie has been screening privately for a while now and every advance review I've come across has said Cruise really steals the show with his performances...

Estranged Reality Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 his character in the movie is supposed to be a glam metal type dude, so i guess that would make sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Can't believe Axl licensed PC to a glam sort of movie, you know what I mean? Suprised when he did it first time around with SCOM to The Wrestler given Rourke's character was a glam loving 80's guy too. Just like Jungle and that casino ad here, all these surprising uses of songs - yet he didn't want GN'R in Black Hawk Down when the real soldiers were actually listening to Guns?

Estranged Reality Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 yeah, i kind of agree with you in the sense that GN'R really isn't glam metal but this song is sort of like "Born in the USA," people have taken it at face value for years and not really examined the lyrics...and i know axl licensed SCOM as a favour to rourke, but yeah, i felt the same way you did about that -- his character was all into stuff like ratt and talking about how much he hated nirvana, so GN'R didn't quite fit the bill there, but hey, still a great song to be used either way...

Not saying I never thought of that before necessarily like a dumbfuck, but Born in The USA is like the number one "redneck's don't get it" kinda song and I just never thought of PC on that level with Born in the USA.

Estranged Reality Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 They both have very anthemic choruses but when you actually dig a bit into what they're singing about, it's pretty dark and dismal...PC is about wanting to escape the filth of their environment and the urban decay and head home, it's really not an uplifting song when you think about it.

Yeah its alot more darker than say WTTJ when you think about it. lol I still remember immediately waking up from my induced coma, my brain at about 2% working capacity and hallucinating like fuck, and I could hear a doctor running around "CLOSE YOUR MOUTHS! IT'S HAZARDOUS TO BREATHE!" And then saying to myself "Oh, he must be the Surgeon General!" On topic though do people reckon this movie will be good? I really can't tell whether its gonna be gay as fuck or boss as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay410 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I was more impressed with how much the guitar tone sounded like appetite. That's the closest I've heard ever, not even slash has gotten that close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Gun Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Decent effort actually. He wasn't going to sound like Axl, but good effort. Sounds autotuned in some parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moment Randy walks out of the curtains and Axl's vocals start is bone-chilling. One of my favorite movie scenes of all time. My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauda Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) It sounds alright, his voice is fine, and the guitars sound good..but all the little changes they made makes it sound tacky.. now it really sounds like an 80s run-of-the-mill glam-band..

Axl probably needs all the cash he can to win that battle. Activision have a huge amount of resources at their disposal.As well as being cash rich, they have teams of lawyers.

Johnny Drama Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 So, just in case I'm reading too much into things, Axl is selling out hard in order to prove that Slash ain't GN'R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
