Dude looks like carrot top with bad corn rows. Sayin'.

Posted by tgl on 2007-02-21 02:06:45 +0000

Sounds like late 80s thrash metal remixed by some dude from Tremulous Hand. Sayin'.

Well Appetite was big 16 years ago so I guess we have to give Axl some slack.

Posted by Rory_Stark on 2007-02-21 03:00:11 +0000

No. The flip side of Patton.

Posted by respectless on 2007-02-21 16:55:18 +0000

for this i waited 16 years? 19 years if you consider that use your illusion 1 & 2 were two big dumps that axl took on the front lawn.

I've heard a lot worse.

Posted by respectless on 2007-02-21 19:49:21 +0000

it's not terrible, but why even bother after all this time? it's just axl and a buncha studio guys now.

Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-02-24 16:27:16 +0000

I hate to say it, I kinda like it.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-02-25 15:00:00 +0000

I have listened to it more than once - most things coming my way dont get that far...

I thought it was about time to bag on Chinese Democracy again. What's taking so long? Is this the audio equivalent of the Sistine Chapel? snicker chortle lol

Posted by cdubrocker on 2007-08-29 05:34:23 +0000

I dunno, but next week I'm going to see this new play called "Waiting for Chinese Democracy."

Posted by MF DU on 2007-08-29 05:49:41 +0000

A Line lifted from an early draft of the script - "Dude - I Pre-ordered that Shit Off Of Amazon 4 years ago!"

They are waiting for Axl to complete his visual transformation into Rip Taylor.... looks like he's getting close!

Posted by tgl on 2007-08-29 06:45:48 +0000

Rip Taylor: favorite guest star on Bewitched... ever.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-08-29 06:53:17 +0000

Chinese Democracy - the priority.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-08-29 07:25:41 +0000

I didn't recognize that as Axl at first. He looks like recovering mustard.

Posted by cdubrocker on 2007-08-29 07:40:18 +0000

Axl as spokesman for French's mustard. Talk about terrific!

Where've you been? I'm curious to see if I get my free Dr. Pepper.

Posted by mahatma chani on 2008-10-22 17:47:24 +0000

Streaming...

Posted by TheFullCleveland on 2008-10-22 18:36:43 +0000

Not keeping up with Chinese Democracy, I guess.

Posted by tgl on 2008-10-23 16:51:50 +0000

Yes!

Posted by MF DU on 2008-10-24 01:47:27 +0000

Ok so if records come out and people win free product, can we have other bands on defense to block free product so we can say something like 'Pavement's Wowee Zowee Deluxe Edition Release created a Dr. Pepper eliminating release season?' Probably not. I'm tired. Where's the tylenol?

Posted by MF DU on 2008-10-29 12:57:37 +0000

I was just thinking on my drive home last night- what object of sonic ridicule will we have once this is released? Is anyone kind of sad that it might actually get put out?

Posted by pamsterdam on 2008-10-29 13:10:07 +0000

Led Zeppelin are recruiting a new singer. That's pretty risible.

Posted by MF DU on 2008-10-29 14:33:36 +0000

I'm sharpening the knives as we speak. (Knives Out?)

'2/3 of my Love' = Chortle Inducing

Posted by pamsterdam on 2008-10-29 15:20:54 +0000

From a female perspective (I suspect gay men are less susceptible to the charms of shaggy-haired, dirty-clothed, throbbing rock gods, but I'm open to being corrected on this), the idea of Led Zep without Plant is absolutely unthinkable. I mean, please. I was always more of a Jimmy Page girl myself (that is, until I saw the clip below, which forever ruined any bad-boy rock fantasies I'd ever had about him), but for many women Led Zep *was* Robert Plant sewn into impossibly tight jeans. I believe Courtney Love used that image as the centerpiece of her argument that rock is nothing without cock. It would be like the New Power Generation touring without Prince. Outrageous. The lust-dampening (and not in a good way) Jimmy Page clip:

Posted by TheFullCleveland on 2008-10-29 15:55:08 +0000

It depends - like straight women, we all have our types.

Posted by MF DU on 2008-10-29 17:35:33 +0000

Ask dj hubris, dyedon or mahatma chani - the New Power Generation HAVE toured without Prince - they are called STONE MECCA. and no - it's not pretty.

Posted by dyedon8 on 2008-10-29 18:08:08 +0000

zing!

Posted by pamsterdam on 2008-10-29 22:26:45 +0000

Cheers, TFC - I stand corrected.

Posted by TheFullCleveland on 2008-10-30 14:36:34 +0000

Though it is true that there aren't very many gay shaggy-haired, dirty-clothed, throbbing rock gods to choose from. A friend of mine always manages to find them, but he lives in SF, which is where they must all be at : )

Posted by pamsterdam on 2008-10-30 15:07:53 +0000

Is this the cute Rivers Cuomo-looking singer I met at your housewarming? I *knew* we had a connection somehow. :o)

Posted by TheFullCleveland on 2008-10-30 15:28:10 +0000

The Rivers Cuomo comparison is throwing me off, but I think that's him, yes.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2008-10-30 15:48:50 +0000

He was flattered when I mentioned it to him, saying that usually he gets Mr Rogers comparisons. Incidentally, he told me I look like Belinda Carlisle...

Chuck Klosterman reviews "Chinese Democracy" for "The Onion." Mahatma Chani sends you the final version of "Chinese Democracy" a week before you can buy it at Best Buy. I kinda like it.

Posted by MF DU on 2008-11-20 13:34:34 +0000

FWIW, Rolling Stone / David Fricke gave it 4 stars. I haven't heard it yet - I will have to wait to see if I shouldn't have bagged on it so much. If it is anywhere near as good as Metallica's Death Magnetic, I would say it has been a good and interesting year for "major" rock acts, whatever that means.

Posted by dyedon8 on 2008-11-20 17:48:20 +0000

Klosterman's review is awesome.

Posted by dyedon8 on 2008-11-24 00:47:56 +0000

Dr. Pepper's website has crashed. No surprise.

Posted by tgl on 2008-11-24 01:19:58 +0000

Klosterman gets reviewed himself.

Cooksey's Bad Tazzes don't make it online: "I love the new songs," says Bill Cooksey, a 28-year-old from Lynn who has three Guns N' Roses tattoos, performed in a GNR tribute band, and proposed to his wife during GNR's 2002 concert at the Garden.

Has anyone read The Heroin Diaries yet? I picked it up in an airport a few weeks ago, and am interested in what others have to say about it.

Posted by dyedon8 on 2008-11-24 16:30:01 +0000

I resisted the urge to buy it in hardcover. I did, however, read Slash's autobiography, which was awesomely entertaining. Next: Stephen Davis's Gn'R book.
