GN?R References!

[Lukin]

The hype is up as we all know and GN?R and Chinese Democracy referenses are popping up everywhere. The latest that I?ve found was about the long-awaited Refused DVD that has been ?n the making for MANY years and the releasedate has been pushed forward many times so there sure is a parallell to Chinese Democracy here, hehe.

Well here?s the article:

By the way, Refused is the band that released the record "The Shape Of Punk To Come" that Duff mentioned ALOT in the interviews he made during the release of the Velvet Revolver debut album. And since I grew up within the same music scene as Refused and seen them play over 27 times I can assure you Duff is right when it comes to this band!

OK, this thread is supposed to be about references related to GN?R, and I guess that will have to do since we ain?t getting any offical news anywhere!

You should work in PR, fella (or you already do). Nice tie-ins and boldened proper nouns.

Hey All,

Not sure the appropriate thread to post this (figured it didn't need it's own thread) so I figured I'd use this.  There's a Daily Beast article on M.I.A. and they reference Guns N' Roses as being authentic.  Here's the quote:

Authenticity is a cherished notion in rock. If you are a true, authentic artist, the thinking goes, you write your own songs, you perform them, you don't lip sync, you are not the product of a record label or a producer. Additionally, it helps if you are dangerous or dangerous-seeming. You are Guns 'N Roses, not Poison. You are Tupac, not the Fresh Prince. You are the Rolling Stones, not the Monkees. You are M.I.A., not Lady Gaga.

You can read the rest of the article here if you're interested:
