Title: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: GNVR on August 14, 2005, 01:30:57 PM Josh Freese left GNR in 2000 to work on a number of projects which included playing drums on the latest Offspring album "Splinter". Not long after that, the band announced that the CD would be called Chinese Democracy...
Does anyone think that this was perhaps an inside joke between Freese and The Offspring? Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: PJ on August 14, 2005, 01:41:50 PM indeed.. that's old

Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: sic. on August 14, 2005, 03:34:58 PM Dexter Holland (http://offspringfunpunk.ifrance.com/kerrang2.htm): "We joked in the studio about calling it Appetiser For Destruction and then Chinese Democracy cos it's taken so long to do," explains Holland. "But somehow it leaked out. The rumour is Axl got his lawyers involved, but I haven't heard from 'em, so I don't think it's true."
I think Josh Freese mentioned APC was originally set to be in on the joke, making remarks about Mer De Noms being released as CD. Then Axl would have had Offspring and APC battling over his album title! :rofl: Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: michaelvincent on August 14, 2005, 03:41:44 PM OMG THOSE PIECES OF SHIT HOW DARE THEY CROSS AXL I HOPE HE SUES THEM!!!!111
</sarcasm> Seriously though that would have been funny, mostly because the only one that wouldn't have got the joke would be Axl.

And his nitwit minions. You should have seen the original thread when these Axl people thought Offspring was serious about CD. There must have been a worldwide run on hankies that week cause a lot of people were doing ALOT of crying :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: ClintroN on August 14, 2005, 06:31:02 PM its all because that bitch Dexter had a cry about Axl's braids.....FUCK OFFSPRING.......sell out girls
Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: GNFNR_UK on August 14, 2005, 07:44:23 PM Yeah it may have been kinda funny if that Dexter fuck hadn't have come out with lame ass comments like 'Axl ripped off my braids, so I ripped off his album title'. That just makes him sound like a dick,trying to look clever but failing. I hate offspring though, they are the biggest bunch of punk/pop sellouts ever.

Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: Miss-Aussie on August 14, 2005, 10:04:36 PM People who take rock n' roll too seriously should have their heads examined. what exactly do you mean?? yeah... i take rock and roll seriously.. it's my life, i feel all my emotions through music, but i dont need my head examined Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: ClintroN on August 14, 2005, 10:21:09 PM yeah...he's full of shit hey babe ;)
Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: Miss-Aussie on August 14, 2005, 10:26:16 PM yeah...he's full of shit hey babe ;) For sure honey. Mate Rock and Roll is good for the soul, and if you cant see that then you must be wacked !!! Or you just dont feel the music like us fellow rockers :) PEACE OUT :) Gunna_girl01 Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: makemyday on August 15, 2005, 03:51:00 AM It was only joke but there was many versions of why they called Chinese Democracy.
Once they said they will call it Chinese Democracy: You snooze, you lose! ;D, the other version was:"Axl stole my hair-style, I'll stole their title of the album!" and once they said how grateful to Josh that he helped on the album so they will call Chinese Democracy in Josh's honour. Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: michaelvincent on August 15, 2005, 08:50:27 AM Quote what exactly do you mean?? That rock and roll is fun. Yeah, it can be your life and you can revolve your existence around it (as I do to an extent), but to hear some of you get bent over what is obviously a joke ('Axl stole my braids so I'm stealing his album title')? C'mon people get a grip. If the Offspring suck so badly then how come it gets your panties into such a bunch? If they are so below you guys then I would think that you wouldn't give a shit. As I said, people that take rock and roll too seriously should have their heads examined. Love rock and roll with all your heart, just don't ever get to the point that Axl Rose seems to sadly be at where you stand to get sued for even thinking the words 'Chinese Democracy' without his permission. Thats not rock and roll, thats just fucking stupid.

Imagine that...I'm pretty sure I can 'feel it' like you rockers. Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: RichardNixon on August 15, 2005, 02:17:41 PM The Offspring have sucked for the last ten years.
Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: Rob on August 15, 2005, 04:54:19 PM They're early stuff is great though. And my friend saw them at Warped Tour yesterday and said they played a lot of old stuff.

Therefore they suck. :hihi: Title: Re: Josh Freese and Offspring Post by: Dust N Rose on August 16, 2005, 03:22:57 PM Offspring have a couple of nice songs. Kids aren't all right has a killer intro. But that's all, overated enough.
