Re: What song are you listening to right now?
Damn...having 90s nostalgia music day while setting up my new weber smoker. Music of my teenage years: faith no more, smashing pumpkins 'Siamese Dream' , primus, Janes addiction, sound garden, the first weezer album, and the most underrated band in rock history: Alice in Chains: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-xQQzi0IdLY
Unbelievable... Last edited by Chico23231; 10-24-2015 at 10:00 PM. |

Guns N' Roses to Reunite for Coachella, Possible Stadium Tour: Sources | Billboard
If they do a stadium tour, im probably gonna go. The original line is just too nostalgic to pass up...I was 11 when they broke and got that "tape" and wore it out. If G n R would have stayed together, they probably would been bigger than Zeppelin as the all time hard rock band. People too young to remember, but Guns & Roses were absolutely massive back in the day. Appetite is one of the biggest albums of all time Slash and Duff with this them gives this tour cred...wish Izzy would join too, him and Axl are still close.

I saw Axl about 6 years ago and he was still good. He took the stage 2 hours late(no doubt a Mr. Brownstone prob), but other than that....great

Re: What song are you listening to right now?
I was lucky enough to see GNR back in 1991, just before the Use Your Illusion albums came out. Appetite is one of my all time favs.

Re: What song are you listening to right now?
Agree, if they woulda kept going they might have been, but the Seattle scene and axl kinda killed that momentum. I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, but I think in the context of time G n R were about as big a rock band since Zeppelin...worldwide.
Nirvana kinda made the scene where g n roses came from uncool. Guns n Roses is a band where u gotta strip away the image and persona a bit and just listen to the music. Very much like the grateful dead...the scene and image of the dead, a lot of folks didn't like, were turned off, etc. But if you just listen to the dead for the music, then you realize "holy shit, super talented, innovative, original," etc. Guns n Roses gotta do a little bit of that. Use your illusion albums are about as well written, strong musically, complex, and well produced and arranged as the top all time rock albums. Appetite is just a raw rocker...use your illusions albums really underrated musically.

Re: What song are you listening to right now?
I never had the opportunity to see G'N'R live with the original members. Kudos to those who were lucky enough. It was sometimes a crap shoot whether if you'd get to see them or not. Either they were two hours late, or Rose would get pissed off at someone in the audience and end the concert early, or they just wouldn't even show up. For a band that has such a unique sound, they sure know how to piss people off!
Metallica is my all time favorite band, although I think they are starting to head into their twilight. Glad they went back to their roots on Death Magnetic, but they always seem to have to do something to screw something up. Either poor mastering of DM, or whatever the frack they did with St. Anger. I commend them on always trying to reinvent themselves, but at the same time, you have to realize that sometimes, your art is just straight up shit! I can say that as a Metallica fan and admit that not everything they put out was gold.
