iron666monkey Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Anyone any thoughts on the probable reunion? http://www.jambase.com/Articles/127030/Report-Guns-N-Roses-Will-Soon-Announce-Reunion I think it's a terrible idea that can only be motivated by money. I saw them in August 1991 just before the Use Your Illusion records came out and I couldn't think of a worse way of spoiling the memory of my first ever live concert than seeing this. I don't understand why anyone who saw them live before 1993 would want to see it. And so I can post this somewhere, here's a very good reason why reunions are a bad idea: Holy shit, I can't stop laughing at how bad that was. Guns N' Bloated will be the worst reunion disaster ever. No way Ol' Popcorn Adler can do that tour, he'd re-re-re-relapse harder than he did the day before, the day before, they day before, and really not be able to string together a sentence the next day, or the day after, or the day after that. And Cookie Monster corn row Rose will need to lose about 50 lbs. to make me a believer in his ability to show up on time and do the damn thing for 2 hours plus. I'd pay $20 for Groupon lawn tickets to see the train wreck, though. I do love me a good train wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I will fight anyone who doesn't agree that Appetite is one of the greatest rock n' roll records of all time. What will be playing in the background of said fight? That's right- It's So Easy will be playing and I'll be wearing a red bandana jerseypride and cambionic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so I can post this somewhere, here's a very good reason why reunions are a bad idea: That video is not a fair criticism of Van Halen's 2007 reunion tour. What happened was the synth playback was triggered at the wrong frequency—it should've been at 44.1K but was played back at 48K, about 1.5 semitones higher than normal. Eddie tried to transpose the guitar part on the fly but couldn't figure it out in time. zerohacker, jerseydave77 and Black Phillip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Van halen In 2012 was the worst show I have ever seen and I have seen over 1k shows. Axl and the imposters in like 2010 wasn't bad. They played for 3 hours till 2am. That was a little much. If the original gets back..play appetite in full and about 5 illusion cuts and call it a night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie tried to transpose the guitar part on the fly but couldn't figure it out in time. There's as many people in the comments who think the problem was Eddie's guitar needing tuning as there are blaming the keyboards. I'm no expert, so I don't know. What I do know is that his guitar playing on this sounds 100 times worse than the keyboard backing tape, especially the solo and you cannot blame that bit on anything other than his playing. There's also Dave's poor vocals, Eddie's pathetic jumping and the giant inflatable microphone. I was a fan of both VH eras as a teenager, but you're better going to see a young tribute act than seeing a once great live act parodying themselves.

That's the whole allure of this reunion, if in fact it does happen. Can Steven make it. Can Axl get off his high horse and start a show on time. Will Slash not get sick of it. I believe more in Steven that Axl. Axl has nothing to lose, Steven has everything to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we should totally denounce the entire band because of an immature song that one member wrote at the start of their career. I bet you don't watch Seinfeld anymore either.

Guest Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah, we should totally denounce the entire band because of an immature song that one member wrote at the start of their career. I bet you don't watch Seinfeld anymore either. It was on their second album and this band has always been fucking horrible. One of the worst. Michael Richards wasn't a writer for Seinfeld, so how is that comparison supposed to work??? eight1echo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I think this band is awesome. Ive always kind of been fascinated by stories and pictures of the "old days". Your opening for Metallica and you refuse to play...awesome I went to a show on that GnR/Metallica/FNM tour. I went for Metallica and FNM. I always thought axl was just kinda cheesy and corny. It was like he tried too hard or something, and way too whiney for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weinerdog Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Tickets for the Vegas shows are $79 - $350 (before fees of course). $250 for GA and $350 for many of the lowers?! Those first 2 shows are at a brand new arena in LV, but if they try that pricing in many other markets there will be 2-for-1 Groupons floating around before long. Or is the demand really there?

vinyl addict Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Who is going to pay that kind of money to see 60% of Guns N Roses? Have you guys even seen Axl lately? He'll be lucky to get through the first leg of the show without contracting Diabetes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Didn't like these guys when they first came out and don't like them today. Glad that I grew up listening to bands like Slayer, D.R.I., Black Flag, The Melvins and Neurosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'm in Vegas right now and the exterior of that new Vegas arena looks sweet. If a venue is capable of polishing a turd, they picked a good place to start this shit show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
