[echeguns]

I'm not sure if this has been posted but Paradise City is being used on the trailer for the remake of the Longest Yard.  Go to MTV.com movie trailers.  Here is the link.

You're right, I saw mean machine yesterday  , it even has the same dialogue, ...''we're playing the guards.....I'm in"...


I hate remakes.

Let's get this clear for all you people who are slow.  The original Burt Reynolds movie was called "The Longest Yard" and this is a remake of it, the original movie was released in the UK under the title "Mean Machine".  That third rate piece of euro trash that starred vinny jones had the prisoners playing wussy soccer instead of football.  This movie has to be better than that.

Now that we agree what the movie is...  Who do you think is playing the song?  Is it old GNR?  Is it new GNR?  Is it someone else?  I didn't hear any vocals.

Im going to go out on a limb and guess the old GnR. This is the new Adam Sandler movie though isn't it?

Let's get this clear for all you people who are slow.?

That third rate piece of euro trash that starred vinny jones had the prisoners playing wussy soccer instead of football.? This movie has to be better than that.?

You just contradicted yourself, you said playing football not football.   'Soccer' is called football mate, we actually use our feet in it, and it was called football long before your shitty sport was.

thats funny coz Axl always wore the "mean Machine" black american football number 22 jersey in 91 or 92

American Football rules!!!!!

So I guess instead of a third rate piece of euro trash, the new movie will be a third rate piece of american trash.

And american football is actually Rugby for pussies. Nice little helmit and shoulder pads there, afraid to get hurt ? 


As for Paradise city, it just goes to show you how hype is building up, five years ago, GNR was completely out of the spotlight.

I thought Oh my God was out in 98 ? oh well...and we're a week away from 2005 ? Oh well...I had to say something to stay on topic.

I would feel a little better about this "hype" if it weren't music made by a group of guys that no longer exist, but by the band that exists now. At some point you have to stop living off past accomplishments and put your own stuff out there. As it stands now though, Axl gets the best of both worlds. He is still living off of glory past, and by refusing to release anything new, keeps the aura about him that he is still a genius. The big risk to actually releasing the new album is if its not loved, all that aura he spent 12 years building is then gone. I can see why he would be nervous about putting it out there like that. At some point though, this incarnation is going to have to release its own paradise city or Jungle to milk.

I wonder if this is a new recording of Paradise City by the new GNR.  Remember, it was another Adam Sandler movie "Big Daddy" that we last heard the new GNR play "Sweet Child".  It then morphed into Sheryl Crow's Version.  Mabey theres some kind of connections between Sandler and Axl.

you are maybe right ! let us remember how Slash and Duff sued axl for not letting them use songs on movie soundtracks and stuff.. I think what they said was axl "cock-blocked"

This means axl said it was ok for Adam Sandler (or whoever) to put the song on the movie.

I just saw the trailer on tv yesterday. It's really cool to be hearing GnR's music on the box again.

[Hammy]

Bad news is as big a wrestling fan as i am i realise their acting generally sucks and this movie has 4 wrestlers in it Kevin Nash, Bill Goldberg, Steve Austin & Bob Sapp............hopefully the roles won't be too big......anyway good for GN'R music being played on any film trailer these days.

Either turn this over to a gnr conversation or i'm gonna move it to The Jungle seeing as how currently it's about a movie.
