I'm just glad VR wasnt on the Show did anyone else notice how they are more and more each year making their VMA's into just a 3 hour long TRL epsisode? With girls screaming for ANYTHING......  Chappelle could of asked if anyone liked Hitler and the audience would of went whild. I want a organized, civilized awards show, comething classy, not TRL 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Eminem is ok but he s probably the only one to have something interesting in rap music. I think he is a real artist, even if he plays rap, he is a real artist in his way.? And he is charismatic. lots of people have compared him to Axl Rose even if GN'R sold twice more records back in the days than Eminem today. But at least, he has talent.
HOWEVER 99 % of the rest of rap music is SUPERFICIAL (VMA 2004 yesterday). It's just some "yahyah" and "oh oh" without talent and that's it! where is the creativity? it sucks!

I hope you're done discussing the racist issue.

I've said it before, this isn't some "whites only" message board. Think about it.

I didnt mean Hitler in a racist stint. I mean the way the fans were chearing Dave CHappelle could of asked how many fans of Charles Manson are in the house, and the fans would of cheered just as loud. Its the same way on TRL now. Its more screaming then anything.

The show seemed very unorganised, a few times throughout the night you could barely hear what they were saying through the microphone.  Look at the VMA 2002 The Puff Daddy performance was great and one of a kind, the GnR surprize was great also. This year they really didnt have great stage shows for the fans. It just seemed like the mosh pit cheering for everything was the entertainment. If you were to just watch the show from 2 years ago to this years you will see how unorganized the show has become and went from a classy event to a TRL/Fox Teen Awards Show.

Damn this thread has become popular!! Last night I posted the second and now it's 7 pages long.

It's pointeless to make a comment about the direction this thread has taken. Music and GNR has brought us to this communitiy to begin with, there's no point to discuss any racism related issue in the GNR section.

Truth is, music industry has taken a route which I'm not too happy with. Last night, when watching the vma's, I felt totally clueless, out of place. We all think Axl Rose will bring rock and roll back and will regain his priviledge spot in mainstream, but I have realized, that maybe, not even the best Axl or the best GNR have a slight chance with today's current music trends.

Thank god I didn't watch that crap!!!, but I know That todays music doesnt amaze me at all cause I still listening to my Innuendo, UYI 1 & 2, Fear of The Dark, Retroactive and still like them better than anything new today.
