Classics Reborn

[Slammed]

See Ronnie's had his say on Blabber today.
Although I have to say Dusty Hill's missus gets the award for most heartfelt words on Blabber today.

I read Ronnie's. I didn't know they did a song together. I wonder who sounded better?....
I'm gonna go check out what Dusty's wife had to say.

 

[Slammed]

I wonder where the song is. I'm going to see if I can find it.

Gotta say Dusty's words to Billy about Elwood taking over were pretty memorable too.

 

[redfly]

Man! That is freaky! Like mid sentence?!

 

[Slammed]

Yeah it is a bit. But at least she got to talk to him I suppose.

 

[redfly]

Yeah for sure. But damn, Wtf.

 

[Slammed]

It's a weird thing, would you want that last word or would you not? I don't know how to answer such a question.

I've got a bunch of those tapes floating around, the player died years ago but my dad used to listen to those things almost exclusively in the 70's.

 

[redfly]

Do those keep well?

 

[Slammed]

Yeah generally they are pretty good. Sunlight can make them deteriorate but in their boxes in a dry spot and they don't tend to have many issues. Home audio which from memory is 1/4 inch doesn't stretch as much as it's run over the play head so the tape itself remains in better condition than a standard cassette. The larger stuff which I think is 1 inch and can be used for audio and video stretches over the play head a little more but is a little thicker too so it's longevity especially when not constantly played is pretty good.

 

[redfly]

Probably out last digital lol.

The biggest problem with them these days is the gear to play them. The parts are harder to get and the techs that fix them know they are important to the right people so repair bills go up and up.

 

[redfly]

Repairman - Vintage stuff bro! $$$

 

[Slammed]

Yeah if the sign on the door that says "we accept newborns as payment" isn't enough then there is no hope

Good to see he's preparing for the new tour

 

[Slammed]

I'm not sure if this is reborn or not, but I'm glad I'm not still a GNR fan waiting on new music.

 

[redfly]

Lol the site froze completely on me mid post.

This song is.....wait for it..... ......shit. Bet you thought I was gonna say something else

 

[Slammed]

Oh yeah I thought you were going to love it.
I guess I still count myself as a bit of a GNR fan because I still listen to their stuff pre illusions from time to time. I had no intention of seeing them when they toured but I watched with some interest as the tour went on. And while I wasn't looking forward to new music from them I can't help but still be disappointed that this is what they came up with. It's fucking terrible.
