Please tell me you got into a flame war with Mr Wu.

Please tell me you got into a flame war with Mr Wu.

No, can't say that I did. Then again, I knew who he was, so I would've avoided one anyway.

10/10 albums can have skip tracks IMO. Not more than 1-2, depending on the utter awesomeness of everything else.

Only if they're merely skippable and not overt suckage, and don't bring the momentum of the album down for too long...the classic example being Dawn Patrol (sorry NAD)...for me a 10 has to be at least 90% perfection.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I'm willing to allow 80% perfection, 20% non-perfection, but yes, that 20% cannot overtly suck.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Added a bunch of new shows to the listings...

 

[lurch70]

[MadeInNewJersey]

Hmmm..$30 for MA + Behemoth might be worth it...

 

[lurch70]

ok ... i am actually very interested in possibly witnessing this train wreck ...

MTV.com is reporting that the current incarnation of GUNS N' ROSES will be performing a pair of concerts at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom before they head to Europe for a string of festival appearances, according to a press release from concert promoter Live Nation.

Tickets for both shows — set for May 15 and 17 — will set fans back $63, and go on sale April 21 at 10 a.m. Doors open for both nights at 7:30 p.m. There's no word yet on who might be opening for GUNS N' ROSES, or whether there will be an opener at all.

 

[JayKeeley]

Ever seen GnR live back in the day? Probably best not to tarnish them memories.

I can't imagine what kind of audience this is going to pull...

 

[lurch70]

never seen them ...

there are rumors flying all over the place of a reunion for the Euro Festivals ...

waiting to see something goofy happen at this point is part of the appeal

 

[JayKeeley]

never seen them ...

Oh man, you missed the Slash/Izzy/Duff line up? Saw them with Skid Row opening.

there are rumors flying all over the place of a reunion for the Euro Festivals ...

Rumors? No it's a done deal. They're booked for several shows I think, Gods of Metal included.

The question is, is Axl going to show up this time?

 

[JayKeeley]
