I'm really hyped!
I think democracy will come to China, before "Chinese Democracy" comes out.
A lot has happened to the music scene since 1997 Axl and Sebastian. It will be nice to see them play at State Fairs and Cruise Ships.
Best laugh of the day. (And true!)
It's not bad.
I grew up with the Dylan version (the original).
I didn't know Sheryl Crow did a cover of it.
Doesn't sound like I missed much...
a mansion? How's that being paid for? Second thought...I probably don't wanna know...
Dude, been a long time since I rapped at you. For one thing, my pot stash was running low so I had to get this gig making Orange Julius drinks down at the mall. What a drag that was. Then I got busted by the mall cop for smoking reefer during break and my boss used it as an excuse to can me so now it's just me and my Playstation 2 once again. On top of that, the tape player in my set of wheels ate my best REO Speedwagon cassette so I'm bummed about that too. But according to a friend of mine who knows a dude who knows the stage manager for Guns n Roses, this new GnR album is gonna rock so I set aside some of my remaining Orange Julius dough so I can get a copy the day it comes out. I sure hope it comes out on cassette cause I don't think I'm gonna be able to spring for one of them new-fangled CD players - but maybe it will play on my Playstation 2. Rock on dude.
Velvet Revolver and Audioslave and Van Halen after Roth are essentially the same band: A bunch of really talented guys who don't gel the same way the original group did.
I was a big fan of Rock Star: Supernova, and really liked most of the contestants (especially Storm Large and Toby Rand). They sang backed by the magnificent, airtight House Band for the members of Supernova (Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke, Jason Newsted). When winner Lukas Rossi won the competition, he sang two songs written by the guys in Supernova with the group. The songs were awful, and none of the individual in the band distinguished themselves musically.
It occurred to me that while Lee, Clarke, and Newsted were integral parts of the bands that made them famous, none could be described as the driving force. Nikki Sixx was the driving force of Motley Crue. Obviously, Rose was the boss of Guns N' Roses. James Hetfield is the voice and the soul of Metallica. Talented as they are, the guys in Supernova were smaller pieces in their respective puzzles, and IMHO, they don't fit together.
