bluesy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 That would have been completely awesome. School of Rock is one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen. I remember being disappointed about the lack of GNR references, though. If Axl is responsible for that, then fuck him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackamo! Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I hope Axl never tries to act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I don't think that's true. Ridley Scott wanted WTTJ for BLACK HAWK DOWN and Axl said he'd only sign off on the rights if they'd use a re-recorded version with the new lineup. It never came to fruition because Ridley wanted the original version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew exactly what he wanted which was the real thing and he wasn't going to putz around with some remake. Must've been pleased with that decision after hearing that atrocious Big Daddy SCOM version. Edited November 12, 2006 by Turn_It_Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been pleased with that decision after hearing that atrocious Big Daddy SCOM version. That version isn;t all redone. It's only fromthe solo on thats redone. And it was good. Before the solo it was from paris 92' i think.A8R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Wow. Ridley Scott is s dumb ass. He could have a Pitman version of WTTJ in his movie and he turned it down? L-A-M-E! No wonder that movie tanked.Wiki:As of May 2006, Black Hawk Down has grossed (USD) $108,638,745 in the United States and $64,350,906 elsewhere, for a worldwide gross of $172,989,651.[1] The film ranked 154th on the United States box office on its opening day, taking in an estimated $179,823, however it rose to 24th by the end of the weekend, taking in an estimated total of $28,611,736.

Turn_It_Up Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) Allen, I know the Big Daddy version wasn't all redone and the results are not good. Axl in particular sounds horrific. THAT version in THAT MOVIE goes a long ways toward dispelling Axl having such high integrity with the back catalog like so many like to think. He was willing to use the old material if his new guys could re-record, and to put out that POS version of a classic sucked.Black Hawk Down was a kick ass movie and a critical-box office success. WTTJ would've been a great fit, too bad it didn't work out... Edited November 12, 2006 by Turn_It_Up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a man who wanted to evolve and "Bury Appetite", he seems to be stuck in the past. And re-recording songs from it is far from a good thing.What happened to all this artistic integrity many of you claimed he had over-and-over again?

The vocals are identical. The instruments are from '92 but Axl's vocals are from '99.

Much like the newer band/lineup, it's all patchwork, but hopefully they have it somewhat right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
