In my younger days, I was BIG Guns and Roses fan. I was in love with Duff

I will be interested to hear this new album. I still enjoy their old stuff.

Have you guys heard the stuff that the group (I forget the name) Duff, Matt and Slash formed? I went to see them in concert when I was in London and it was very average.

I felt that the lead singer was trying to be Axl all the time. He even mimicked his stage performance.

We love you Axl !!!

[Axl Rose]

thanks for those enjoyable remarks, ilovebdt. thank goodness there are some posters who have SOME taste.

Bulsajo - i'm afraid i've just PM'd a mod about you because you're just a needlessly rude person. I'll take a wild stab in the dark and guess you're a middle-aged graying Canadian guy at the tail-end of an eternity in Korea at some 'university', but that pales into insignigficance compared to your sucky outlook on all things ROCK AND ROLL.

Arena rock, Punk, Death Metal, Grunge, Alternative, Classic Rock...it's all good to me. Why limit yourself? Oh and a link between....

me and Beavis: why? because Beavis was named after someone and had a photo of Beavis and Axl does similar, thus they must be the same person? act your age for heaven's sake man!

me and mullets: oh wow, how long did that hilarious analogy, steaped in originality and an ingenious talent for spotting the moment for a good wisecrack, take you to think up? 2 seconds? if that?

If you're gonna comment critically and intelligently on my beloved GN'R, like others seem to manage, by all means go ahead and we'll hear no more about this bull. else, simply be quiet. thanks.

Axl- assuming you are not Beavis- I pledge to no longer be unneccessarily rude to you solely on the basis of your choice of handle. (I reserve the right to be neccessarily rude on the subject of your handle and/or unneccessarily rude to you on other subjects as the need arises).

[Axl Rose]

Bulsajo,

No, I'm definitely not Beavis.

What the hell do you mean by my choice of handle? i dunno what that is!

I have no idea who Elliot Smith is either, enlighten me.

So what if he's as a-hole, he's not your friend, he's a goddamn rock'n'roller! John Lennon was also an a-hole, as was Jim Morrison, Lou Reed, Sid Viscious, Pete Townsend, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, and countless others. His job is not normal, especially with heavy rock, it's an extreme thing they do. They HAVE to have angst, otherwise you may as well go to a James Taylor concert. They are f'd up people, and instead going out and killing someone they go onstage and explode, and make millions of people happy, or at least excited. Judging a musicians character is a pointless excercise. Judge thier music.

Now, I'm not one for nostalgia shows, and I won't be following the new Gunners. I stopped liking music like the Gunners at the appropriate age, 22. But there is always a place for that kind of music. And it's absolutely NOT easy to do. I don't mean technically. I mean, you have to capture something gutteral from in side you, something explosive, you have to catch the zeitgeist, and with Appetite for Destruction, the Gunners certainly did that. It's one of those rare heavy rock albumns where every song is a classic. It's just totally raw and stonking. And at the time, yes indeed, it was a totally orignal sound. Sure, as with all rock'n'roll there were recylced elements, but it was original brew, and topped with Axel's inimitable voice, and the songs, which were solid rock gold, bristling with angst, aggro, frustration, dispair, rage, nihilism, sleazy sex, and decadence. They also had indelible melodies which puts them a cut above most of thier hard rocking bretheren, and Slash's solos and riffing were original, memorable, and inventive.

Now, because thier music was so much about this explosion of feeling from the gut, it was inevitable that they struggled to keep it up. I called them classic before, but they are not a fully fledged classic rock band like the Stones, who stayed legitimate for a long time. I don't think they ever repeated an effort worthy of Appetite, and I certainly have no hope for Axel doing it now. It won't have the sense of moment at ALL any more. Just like Nirvana only really exsisted to capture the moment with Nevermind. Doesn't matter, they did it. And it's a hell of a lot more than most bands could ever dream of.

Welcome to the motherf*cking Jungle F*ckers!!!

My first show ever was GNR, Metallica and Faith No More, at the Stade Olympique de Montréal. The riot show. They were my fav band, they converted me to the Altar of Rock when I was down with Jazzy Jeff, and they played with no shirts on. Rock. But whats taken Axl so long?? Hes been sitting on the same songs for about 8 years, endlessly "retuning" them, and now finally, what?? The Greatest Album of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, I heard about 3 songs, and it's so "blaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh"

How can you put out (supposedly soon) one of the most anticipated rock albums of all time and it just be so zzzzzzzzzzzz.........

I'm switchin on Guitar Wolf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Axl Rose]

GNR's "oh my god" song sucked. sounded a bit like Megadeth. that song was from the "End of Days" soundtrack, right? Jesus, that movie blew.

dunno whether OMG will be on the album, and hopefullt that's not an indication of the new style.

I confess to being an ex metal head guitarist for a few short intense years, and I can say honestly, with no hint of a lie, that after six months practice, I could nail the opening of Paradise City. That is actually a complex riff to play with the correct voicing and phrasing!
