Contraband is a good album, but if an unpolished Madagascar that is supposedly (According to Axl) a filler for Chinese Democracy is equal to the best Velvet Revolver songs then it is certainly not less filling.?
Lets make sure we all understand something...
Your "point" is completely subjective, therefore not a very good point at all. ?Falcon addressed the blatant stupidity of your other points.
If you're going to hate on GN'R, you need to find somewhere else to bitch.
So negative opinions pertaining to GNR (the new one...and voiced in the VR section at that)?arent allowed? ?Im the absolute last person to bring somebodys post count into a discussion...but I think your the last person to be "moderating" the boards and telling us whats not acceptable.
but if you think Matt Sorum is anything but a mediocre drummer and a shit-stirrer then you need to review your GNR history.
?How would "GNR history" influence my opinion of him as a drummer? ?I think hes a great drummer - now what history do I have to review? ?His awesome performances on "You Could Be Mine," "Hair Of The Dog," and "Locomotive"? ?As for being a "shit-stirrer": 1) Sorum seemed to be the least of GNRs problems, and he sure wasnt the worst offender and 2) It has nothing do with his talent.
The son of bitch essentially fucks up every band he's in, as we've seen with the recent problems between him and Scott.?
Explain how VR has been fucked up by Scott and Matts problems (which have since been resolved)?
Your whole viewpoint is based on completely arbitrary selection, not to mention obvious bias. ?Thats evident in assuming Matt and Scotts problems were Matts "fault." ?Not true. ?Because had Slash walked in, their probably wouldnt have been any problems. ?The fact is there were simply differences, and theyve ironed them out, and if anything, it was Weiland who was stirring the shit. ?Not to mention by your logic, any member of any band should be kicked out for causing problems (which youve hyperbolically, and falsely equated to "fucking up the band" ?
) ?Yeah, Matt sure fucked up GNR...Everybody knows that Matt was the
real reason GNR broke up. ?
?If youve got a problem with shit-stirrers, then Weiland shouldve been dropped a long time ago, huh? ?Axl...forget about it. ?But I think you and I both know that your whole argument is just based on a nasty bias, and really holds no weight.
Anyone who watched the VR special on Vh1 would acknowledge that while Duff and Slash were trying to find a singer to make a kick ass band, Sorum was concerned about getting blow jobs.
No? ?What part was that? ?I saw a guy who obviously cared enough about his band to make his opinion clear, loves playing music, and was anxious to get the whole thing going. ?The same guy who wanted Weiland from the jump.? Where did he ever say, or imply, that hed rather get blowjobs than make a great band? ?Was it a passing joke he made during that arduous selection process that youve based this entire attitude on?? You could definitely say that Matt was a prick at times, but thats far from being more concerned about blowjobs. If that were the case, he would be getting blowjobs instead of participating.
The best thing that could happen to Velvet Revolver would be if their tour bus crashed and Matt Sorum was killed or seriously injured.
Profound stupidity...
Then they could get a real drummer with a real rock n' roll attitude
Yeah, youre one to tell Matt Sorum about rock and roll attitude. ?
who's every interview isn't a boast about how great they are or what they need to proove.? Actions speak louder than words and thus far Matt's done alot of barking.
What actions? ?Whats Matt barked about it that he hasnt done?
Id suggest thinking things out before posting them next time...
