STEVEN ADLER ON AXL NOT SHOWING UP AT HOF

[Nature Boy]

Sounds like you already didn't like the Illusions..

They aren't very good, to be completely honest, aside from a handful of songs

[Johan!]

You consider them to be not very good. I do. All opinions though. These days I listen to them much more than to AFD..

@Shawn: there's more new music out there than your hear on the radio or tv. Quite a lot of fine quality new albums coming out. In my case these are mostly Metal or progressive rock releases. But I know that in many non-mainstream genres there are still great new bands / or new albums from existing bands.

I don't listen to AFD at all 
Too cheesy for me now
I do quite like CD though and listen to it regularly

Blasphemy. 

[Nature Boy]

Blasphemy. 

At the end of the day, it's all opinion.
When the UYI albums were released, they immediately became my favorite albums and I listened to both of them almost everyday for a good 3 years. And that's not easy, considering it's nearly 3 hours of music. Over time, my music listening branched out considerably and for one reason or another, the UYI albums fell by the wayside. When I listen to them now, they don't have the same effect nor do I think every song is great, or even good, for that matter. The songs that I continue to listen to and consider top notch are Don't Damn Me, November Rain, Civil War, 14 Years, Yesterdays, Breakdown, Pretty Tied Up, Locomotive, Estranged, You Could Be Mine and the alt Don't Cry. Other than those songs, I can't really listen to the rest. That's still a good amount of songs though.

I listen to other bands dude. New shit sucks period. Motorhead is my last ray of hope haha...

No biggie dude. I play guitar so I can always get drunk / high or whatever and chug out some RnR but in terms of GnR, its a damn shame to see what people high and low agreed were IT, become what it is.

Again if the name were different but fuck haha.. what can a lowly even if Iconic fan do huh?

~S~

I kinda have to agree with you there.

I listen to a lot of music, but it's mostly musicians/bands that started a long time ago and have kept on releasing material until now.

I can appreciate there's quality new music from new bands out there, but they're lacking BALLS. Everyone is too fucking sane and sober and comfortable with their lives to the point that the "insanity" bit is just not there anymore, and to me that's what makes the difference between ROCK & ROLL and just POP music, it's not the instruments, it's not the tempo, it's not how much gain they use in their amps, it's that rebellious spirit that says I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. Even today, with all the comforts of this globalized world, there could be a lot of bands carrying that spirit on, that's not necessarily being wasted all the time and having a LTR with dope and alcohol and whores and STIs, it's more about going against what's established, having a powerful message to wake up all those motherfucking kids and hipsters that are too busy with their fucking smartphones to realize there's more to life than having a job and making a living like a good citizen until you die...

... and that's not Axl's fault, it's just that everyone is NUMB and too attached to material crap instead of using their brains and souls to go beyond their comfort zone.




Anyway, fuck Steven Adler I wish him the best, but that guy lost touch with reality a long time ago.

If you're stuck in the 80s you might enjoy Adler: http://www.rollingstone.com/videos/new-and-hot/adler-the-one-that-you-hated-20120426

Who cares about videos anyway these days? Does MTV even play videos still?

Fans of the band / artist? I dont give a shit about MTV but I remember being happy when Slash's By The Sword came out. Just always good to see how the artist visually interprits a song.

Guns used to be good at this.

~S~

[Johan!]

I agree about your last point. Guns always made cool videos. With dolphins and shit  .

MTV is crap but most artists still release videos (usually on their YouTube channel) and fans love them for it. Only GNR fans believe that videos (and album sales) are a thing of the past...

[Exitus]

Axl did not show up? Now that's shocking news!
