is it possible? ... does anyone still care?

[lurch70]

lots of rumors abound about this, that it will finally happen ... can't say I am not intrigued, looking forward to it more, then the next Metallica release, if there is a comparison ...

The New York Post's Page Six reports in its February 12, 2006 edition:

Stereo nightclub owners Barry Mullineaux and Mike Satsky were closing up their Chelsea hotspot at 5:30 a.m. the other morning when they encountered elusive GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose at the front door. The braided rocker was with bandmates and a bevy of beauties wanting to keep his 44th birthday bash going. Rose was so eager to get inside the club that he offered the owners a little bribe — an exclusive listening party for his yet-to-be released album, "Chinese Democracy". Axl dispatched his driver to retrieve the unreleased CD and the owners proceeded to play host, bartender and DJ to the posse till 8 a.m.

dont care

 

[Dark One]

Love the old albums - but it's been 15 stinking years since a new GNR studio album came out. Plus, I was at the last show GNR was supposed to play in Philly that Axl simply failed to show up for causing a near riot.

Don't Care.

 

[NAD]

I care. Was listening to some Appetite on the way back from Los Angeles right now too.

 

[lurch70]

i am willing to bet ... if and when this will be released ... this disc will be huge ... I don't know why ... just a gut feeling.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Yeah, I agree.

A huge pile of steaming shit.

 

[NAD]

Oh it's gonna suck really hard, but I'll still enjoy it for about 5 spins.

 

[lurch70]

i did not claim it will not suck ... but it will sell by the truckload ...

 

[cthulufhtagn]

gnr are SO fucking overrated

 

[General Zod]

I too think it will suck. And I'd be somewhat surprised he's still marketable.

[lurch70]

I don;t know, I can't imagine it being any worse than Velvet Revolver and that did real well ...

 

[NAD]

You get nothin' for nothin'
if that's what you do
Turn around bitch
I got a use for you
Besides, you ain't got nothin' better to do!
and I'm BORED...

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

gnr are SO fucking overrated

you mean, their past material is overrated?

because I don't see how a band which hasn't released any viable new material in 15 years can still be thought of as overrated

 

[NAD]

I don;t know, I can't imagine it being any worse than Velvet Revolver and that did real well ...

Isn't Axl still on his electronica kick? At least VR came out and rocked. Granted, they were just barely above average, but I respected them for doing what they know how to do.

 

[lurch70]

there was some strange nws on BM the other day ... from the Ross halfin site ... you know... the photographer ... about somthing going down this summer in the UK with the original gnr lineup ... and how Halfin is preparing for it ...

also there were some straight up Axl's ass kissing story coming from Slash ...

something might be a brewing

 

[NAD]

Slash + Axl = dick + pussy

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

the story where Slash said he's semi-excited for the album to finally come out?

hardly ass-kissing; he & Duff's lawsuit vs. Axl is about to hit either settlement or trial, I forget which

 

[lurch70]

this is the story from BM ... but since removed from his site.

Will GUNS N' ROSES's classic lineup and METALLICA perform at this year's Download Festival? Legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin seems to think so. According to a February 3, 2006 posting on Halfin's official web site, "the original lineup [of GUNS N' ROSES] is supposed to play Download in June with their metal chums, METALLICA, if Lars [Ulrich, METALLICA drummer] can be bothered to turn up." (UPDATE: Halfin has since removed the posting from his site.)

Guns N' Roses= Most Overrated Band Ever.


IMO.

 

[General Zod]

Guns N' Roses= Most Overrated Band Ever.

While I'd say that "Appetite" is a brilliant disc, I'd still say Guns n Roses was given way too much credit for simply mixing 50% Aerosmith with 50% Motley Crue.
