Social media let all the dimbulbs, mouthbreathers, and nutbars know they aren’t really alone. It created a cascade effect of reinforcing the worst elements, those people who would usually just be stupid, dumb and evil in relative isolation.

STFU fat Axle. This douche and others think only libtards listen to and support music acts? I will never support GNR again. That is a minuscule protest but it adds up.

Like I said.

Both Melissa and Ben are kind of cute, though, in a big way.

Good song but not one of their best and that was the time when Axl lost his mind and wanted to write ONLY 12 minute power ballads with violins instead of “you’re ####ing Crazy” and “Welcome to the Jungle”.

Real rock that made them one of the best.

Ironic this guy saying these things when he wrote these lyrics in “One in a Million”

Immigrants and faggots
They make no sense to me
They come to our country
And think they’ll do as they please
Like start some mini Iran
Or spread some @@@@ing disease
They talk so many ### damn ways
It’s all Greek to me

A tower of open-mindedness.

Well, it was my favorite song for a long time :) :(

Yes, the big reason behind all of these street mobs. It’s only getting worse...

Yeah, like I said, my favorite band until now, about 7 minutes ago.

Grunge took over, overnight.

It was so dark and dreary compared to “Talk Dirty to Me” and “Girls, Girls, Girls” and it kind of reflects in that generation’s nihilistic attitude.

But I have to admit, though I HATED Nirvana for a long time, I came to like them but suicide is a bad business scheme for a band.

9 Nov: Sacramento Bee: PG&E reports power line problem in Butte County near time and place where wildfire sparked
By Tony Bizjak
The PG&E service area covers much of Northern and Central California, and includes 18,000 miles of power lines. It will spend up to $70 million this year to clear vegetation near those lines, a spokesman said in an email.
In three cases, Cal Fire contends PG&E violated state codes by failing to get rid of trees and vegetation near power lines. PG&E said it is reviewing Cal Fire’s findings...
PG&E also has come under fire for cutting down trees near power lines as a safety precaution.
https://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/fires/article221448500.html

9 Nov: Mercury News: Matthias Gafni: PG&E power lines may have sparked deadly Camp Fire, according to radio transmissions
PG&E faces billions in potential liability because of the role of its power equipment in other destructive wildfires, including those last year in the Wine Country. Stock traders sent PG&E’s share price plunging Friday amid word of the latest round of California blazes...

PG&E could face substantial liability from the Camp Fire if its equipment is deemed to be at fault, but its financial risk has been diminished by a controversial law passed earlier this year. That law allows the utility to pass the costs of fire damage onto ratepayers under some circumstances.
Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey said Friday that his office has been in discussions with Cal Fire to preserve the fire scene and any potential evidence for a possible criminal investigation...
https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/11/09/pge-power-lines-may-have-sparked-deadly-butte-county-wildfire-according-to-radio-transmissions/

Wikipedia: PG&E is overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission.

1 Sept: Reuters: California lawmakers pass bill on PG&E wildfire liability
by Jim Christie
California’s legislature passed a bill late on Friday that could help the utility Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation (PG&E) avoid potentially crippling liabilities for wildfires that ravaged northern parts of the San Francisco Bay Area last year.
The bill, passed 29 to 4 in the Senate and 45 to 10 in the Assembly, requires approval by Democrat Governor Jerry Brown.
Some fires in the north of the Bay area were caused by trees toppling into or making contact with PG&E power lines, a report released by state officials in June said...

If signed by the governor, this would soften that standard by having regulators determine liability based on whether equipment was reasonably maintained and operated. It would also let utilities issue bonds to help pay damages, with a surcharge on ratepayers’ bills helping to cover interest payments...
Critics say the legislation is a bailout. But (Democrat State Senator Bill) Dodd, who led the legislation, has said another bankruptcy by PG&E could be worse for ratepayers than a surcharge on their bills...
Consumer advocates have lobbied strongly against the bill...

> “Of course, lots of people play guitar really well”

True, which only goes to show that it takes more than just playing well to reach stardom.

> “ but he’s one of the ones.”

No, he’s easily forgotten, not even a footnote to musical history, like a .200 hitter in baseball.

The only way a forgettable player can get remembered is to leech off the fame of others like the fat Italian in this clip:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzjWQF1oP2M

And that’s precisely what this moron Rose MoFo has done trying to get his crap name in the news by grabbing onto the fame of a once in a lifetime President. If POTUS saw Idiot Rose and was unrestrained, I’d pay to see him do to this moron what the fat Italian was saying he would do in the above clip.

We are pretty far down the cultural slope. Imagine what it is going to be like in 2050. Can’t see much stopping it at this point that also keeps the culture intact.

And I think Sweet Child of Mine is a great rock song in the tradition of the longer classic rock records.

It wouldn’t. But mismanagement due to fruity ideas seems likely to have caused a lot of fires.

I hated grunge with a passion. I was late to get into GNR but because the absolute dirge of any good music over the last 30 years, I took the plunge.

Arson from illegals
Arson from rangers
But fires which have happened in California for 50 years are Trump’s fault.

What a goof...
