I see, you are coming to your monthly crazy time........or if you are older than that, you are remembering it.......

Frank Zappa may be a genius. I don't know.
I own several albums. Musically, the Roxy and Elsewhere was brilliant. It is a great live album. I love it.
Some of his work is kind of "stupid", and I don't know exactly what he was trying to get at, but it is good.
I haven't listened in depth a lot.
I got Roxy, got kind of excited, bought a bunch of albums and was kind of disappointed. This was about 5 years ago.

Today I wasn't happy. I was recovering from a bit of a hang over, which I rarely have, and slept most of the day. I ate pizza tonight, and now I am finding it pretty impossible to get drunk.
It is late, and I would like to go to bed so I don't sleep so much tomorrow and waste the day, but I don't see myself going to sleep any time soon.
I am a little bored, and bummed out, probably because I consumed around 8,000 calories tonight, and feel like I can barely move.

Yeah, I had tickets for that show too. I never ended up going for other reasons.
No one knows what really happened with that show, so it impossible to say if it was even possible to cancel earlier.
Bottomline is that if you are a GNR fan, you know what you are getting into. If you are surprised when things like this happen, then that's your problem.
The truth remains that people would rather take the risk of seeing GNR than not trying to see GNR.

Axl goes on late sometimes. Big deal. He puts on the best show. It's worth the wait. And if it means anything, the shows I have seen, the band came out on time.
It's not easy preparing to give your all in front of 20,000 people every night.

I agree that Axl is what really made up the essence of GnR. His ego is what drove the whole ship. Not to say the others didn't step up when it came to time to massage Axl's ego with great albums.
But the other guys are a huge part. It's not like Axl was writin their parts. He was makin sure the album sounded just like he wanted.
Slash has one of the most recognizable sounds, and thats sayin somethin, since it's mostly real basic stuff.
Izzy gets overshadowed so much, but he wrote tons of riffs, and played the more lead-y parts on those riffs.
Duff just brought the attitude
The drummer for them was always replacable, as it was usually really basic stuff.
You are mostly right actually.
But I'll disagree with the Duff stuff. Duff was a punk rocker, but Duff is one of the most laid back, cool people you'll ever meet. Axl was the storm. He is pure attitude.
The thing with Axl is that people either love him or hate him. Same with his voice. But, no one can deny, he is the coolest, most badass, and most brilliant mofo's ever.
The people that hate him, still have to talk about him, years and years later, because even they are intrigued and obsessed with the man. They can't let him go.
Axl Rose might become the greatest frontman ever. If he delivers, I think that will be confirmed.

Drummers easily replaceable? And you know this how? By playing guitar for how many months? You've pretty much insulted all drummers with your stupid comment. And you say I'm ignorant?
And yes, you need to get your facts straight. You don't know a damn thing about Guns n' Roses and it clearly shows.
Izzy left the band for two reasons, he felt that he was dictated to on a serious level, and yes, the drugs and alcohol did play their part.
I'm uninformed? Seriously dude, look in the mirror. I'll blow you out of the water when it comes to Gn'R knowledge. Do you know what propaganda is? I'm a firm believer that hearing the same thing from Duff, Izzy and Slash about Axl Rose clearly outlines what the situation was really like.
Also, If you ever run into Duff or Slash, ask them how easy it was to replace Steven Adler.
Steven Adler was replaceable. In fact, he was pretty easily replaceable. Matt Sorum came in and learned everything rather quickly. Out played him actually when it came time to tour.
I know everything about GNR. If someone owns every single magazine interview, or magazine featuring something about GNR in it, and owns everything put out by the band, and owns or has read and re read everything ever put out by the band or about the band, then I guess that person might know just about everything. Obviously, you can't claim this with a straight face because your comments have shown that you indeed don't know much about GNR. I guess for you, knowing everything about GNR is watching VH1's Behind The Musics.
Izzy did feel dictated too, but then again when a component doesn't want to tour, and puts no effort into the performance, and the band feels he isn't earning his share of the revenue, then I can see where he might be dictated to, and I can see why he wouldn't be happy with it.
Just cause 3 guys agree on some stuff, doesn't make it true. They have contradicted themselves and have also been quite two faced. The only person who has been consistent and makes sense is Axl Rose.

Steven Adler was worthless. He is not a great drummer, nor did he contribute anything special. That's up to personal opinion, but a drummer is an easily replaceable component, especially in this case. Of course, when any original member leaves a band, there are people who have hard feelings over it. Don't make your hard feelings over this, and your resistance to change, make him look like such a great contributor in hindsight, cause he wasn't.
The Illusion albums were awesome, and so were the tours that followed. I guess you are one of those people that don't like any sort of evolution. I don't know about you, but for me and a lot of people, a band playing the same old material, the same old way, becomes a little boring after a short while. You are talking like the Illusion albums were a bad thing, and if you think that, then you are missing out on a whole lot.
I sure as hell don't see the Snakepit material being suited as the next part of Guns n Roses. If you think the material was suited for the next part of GNR, then that's your opinion. I am quite happy this didn't happen.
In your mind, you have put me in my place. That is hilarious. You are one of the most uninformed and ignorant people I have conversed with on this message board. I think that is clear for all to see. How about next time, you don't respond to me, because it is the same old story: I can never convince an idiot of anything.
When your band is a bunch of drug addicts, living wrecklessly, and failing to be responsible members, maybe you need to take matters into your own hands. I can't fault Axl. Besides, Axl is Guns n Roses anyway.
Izzy left because the band was full of drug addicts, and he was now clean and sober. It's probably not good to be around those kind of people when you have had addiction problems yourself. Besides, Izzy never wanted the fame or responsibility, and he hated touring.
My advice to you is to stop subscribing to propaganda, and stop basing your ideas off of it. Presenting propaganda as facts is a waste of time.

ya know, I can answer all these posts.
1. The original members left the band. They weren't fired, except Steven Adler, but he was worthless anyway, so matter what anyone may think.
2. Axl was the driving force behind Guns n Roses. He wrote the lyrics. Ok. He is the singer. Ok. But most importantly, he pulled everything out of those guys. He inspired them, directed them, pushed them, and got what he wanted out of them. He is responsible for their success.
If anyone wants to know what the next GNR record was going to be, I recommend to buy the first Slash's Snakepit album. That was what Slash put forward to Axl. Go listen to it, and tell me if that would have been a great GNR album.
That would have destroyed the band, because it was terrible.
So you can blame Axl all you want, but you can't fault his integrity. The man just wants to come out with something that lives up to the legendary GNR name, and from what I have heard so far, he is succeeding, and if the album comes out, it will probably be the best album of the last 20 years.
Unfortunately, the Velver Revolver albums have been pretty mediocre and uninspiring.
No one likes change. I love GNR. I love the old band. However, I am openminded enough to understand what is going on, and I have to say Axl had made the right decisions.
-
good choices...
Half? Slash is the heart of Guns & Roses.
I hate when people say that. If it weren't for Axl Rose, none of us would know Slash's name.
Axl is Guns n Roses.

Are we that rigid and anal that we can't double up on some topics? It's not like we are at work and need to be hyper efficient. He had a specific question regarding entry level Deep Purple music. Give the guy a break.
I agree. Unfortunately, I think jahfin is under the impression that this is his personal forum.

I'm not trying to stir anything up.
Yeah, everyone has an opinion, right? Most people's opinions are retarded, brainwashed, bullshit. I am not saying that you or the Canadian people's opinions are like that. However, I have very good taste. The anthem, in my mind, is what I have previously described. Sorry.
-
Once again shut up
No really Babs, your national anthem is horrible. Don't remain in denial. I can help you through this, if it means so much to you.

Good Evening/Bon Soir DrunK:
Are you refering to the English or French version?
There's also a version where you sing some lines in English and some in French...that version rawks..
Juliet
I'm sorry. I am not sure. I remember hearing a version in English. I just know if was awful to listen to.
I think Canada is a great country, although I've never been there. I've heard and read enough to know a bit. But yeah, the anthem is mightily bad.
-
Sorry Canadians, but you guys have the worst, most long drawn out, uninspiring national anthem. A torture to listen to!

Dude, you must start off with "Burn".
I started off with the albums with Ian Gillian, and the band just didn't inspire me. I finally discovered the Burn album one day, and they quickly became one of my all time favorite bands. DP MK3 and MK4 lineups are my favorite. Simply awesome.
Get Burn, then Stormbringer, then Come Taste The Band.

nice enough!
But seriously, I am an ass man. Bring on the big butts.

I like girls with big butts.
