Can Axl save rock n roll with chinese democracy??

[AtariLegend]

Some would say so. Some would say they're not. Then someone would defend them and say something to the effect of " It's ____'s way of screaming out against the corruption of modern society and beginning the cleansing with the death of the current generation". You see what I mean?

I do, but there comes a point when we should all know that some lyrics by some bands are just nonscense.

what is scott weiland trying to say with the lyrics "somebody raped my tapeworm abortion"

love weiland, but alot of his lyrics are pure gibbrish

Great example, Weiland pretends like he knows whats going on, but since he spends so much time in rehab I question it.

[J.J. Cook]

"somebody raped my tapeworm abortion"

Fanboy response: Scott's talking about being rejected {abortion}and the feeling ?vof being ulnerable {raped} and ?small {tapeworm} in the grand scheme of things.

[RageNirvanaNIN]

Exactly people can take moronic things and turn them into profound amazing lyrics...

see interpretation of a song like stairway ( there is a lady who is sure all that glitters is gold ) gold can be anything you want and you can twist to see that this person is just in fact materialistic...by in other bands terms ( as in weilands ) it's just absurd comments that people make sense of.

yea i remember when somebody told me that the teen spirit part where he says

an albino , a mosquito ,  my libido

was feelings of being outcasted ( albino ) feeling small ( mosquito ) and having sexual drive? Fanboys...lol

[AtariLegend]

I seen VR last year, he looked around the stage at various points, as if to say what am I doing here, is that Tophat mine, look it's people from GNR but who is that other dude?

[RageNirvanaNIN]

i saw em too they were pretty damn good wont lie , but he butchered used to love her...

[J.J. Cook]

lol I know. It's amazing what people come up with to defend songs. I like some of these bands with songs like that but come on!

[AtariLegend]

Profound Lyrics:

It's like when people blame Manson for those school shootings.

[J.J. Cook]

That was pretty funny especially since they hated Manson yet the media decides to blame Manson.

[AtariLegend]

They said they were goths, but I guess Stereotyping people is for another thread.

[J.J. Cook]

Well it was revealed that they weren't part of the goth thing they were just friends with people who were and that they didn't actually listen to Marilyn Manson. But this is going quite a bit off topic.

[RageNirvanaNIN]

right we went from can axl save music to claims that mansons inspires kids to kill...

[AtariLegend]

Yes or No answers never applied to begin with. Somewhere along the line this thread became about lyrics and Nirvana.

[jaypayton]

judging by the democracy demos it doesnt even sound like axl will be into doing a rock n roll album..

[anythinggoes]

judging by the democracy demos it doesnt even sound like axl will be into doing a rock n roll album..

so what do you think it will be then please tell

[AtariLegend]

Didn't Mike Clink or some ex-producer not say the album is heavier than people think, after the leaked tracks.

[J.J. Cook]

So far the songs lean to alternative terrioty that I've heard. Still awesome.

"So, you watched a dvd...

I PLAY GUITAR.. jack white cant play.. he hits one string... not even powerchords.."

You couldn't be more wrong dude. Alot of good riffs are played from one string, and many of his riffs are played using chords. I play guitar also, and just cause you "play" doesnt mean you can say who has talent and who doesn't. Jack White is more of an accomplished guitarist then you will ever be. Anyways, I've seen so many stripes shows its unreal, and I've been to them, sure Meg isnt a great drummer, but her purpose is to keep a beat and keep it simple. The stripes and jack are very bluesy and like to keep the elements of the music simple, and thats very respectable. Jack White also plays a great slide guitar. Jack has developed into a great musician since 1998, he wasnt where he is now back then, but he has his place in music and in guitar.

Look at this video, and I guarentee any of you who doubt his ability, well, you will think twice. The dude plays with straight emotion.

But anyways, I can't win arguements with people who refuse to acknowledge talent. Not that that's all of you.

who says he will be more accomplished then I ever will be???  Ok i take back alot of what I said he is a pretty decent guitarist but he still sounds like someone who has been playing for like 2 years.. But alot better then what I expected from him.

[The Legend]

Nope. At a time I would've said so, but out of the stuff that's leaked, as much as it rocks, there's nothing that really has been mind-blowing.

[JohnnyBlade]

I tell you whats missing from rock n roll, Cocaine, smack, speed and weed and lots of sluts on the side.
oh and to Mr I love 90's and muse are so great guy... don't argue with the youth of this generation because you arnt it anymore, we know whats going on with are own and trust me rock n roll bands from the past are big influences to us just. give it 4 or 5 years and see what happens
