USA Today: Candidate for Career Transition: Axl Rose

[RancidPunx]

Wait.

So you think GN'R has songs that suck?

Wow.


Sure, I prefer some songs over others but I wouldn't say any of them suck..... I'm not a fan of bands who put out songs that suck myself.



/jarmo

My World comes pretty close to sucking.I don't get the NIN comparison either since no NIN song is as bad as My World.Having said that, no I don't think any GNR songs suck.

[LordRazZ]

Jesus Christ....Somebody shoot me..

THERE WAS ALREADY AN "OFFICIAL" RELEASE!!!

And I'm not even trying to bring that up....

The point is that we've gone through shit before. For fuck's sake, I'm as hopeful as you are, I'm just taking that big elephant in the room that no-one will mention, and I'm fucking him in the ass.

And as far as that jack-wad who mentioned "new management"

Two words...

Merck....f'n Merck...

Remember him?

I know I do...real fuckin' well. I dealt with him enough to last me a lifetime.

And as far as legal issues go, how many other bands on the planet have this many legal issues for a FUCKING ALBUM??

I'm really, REALLY trying to be positive here..

In fact, in every post I make, I repeat AD FUCKING NAUSEUM that the album WILL COME OUT!!

All I'm doing is defending those who have doubts, and yet I get shit on, least of all by Jarmo, the guy who should have his head firmly secured on his shoulders, and not squarely up his ass.

And ya know, I'm getting sick and fucking tired of some of you screaming "well if you don't like it, go find another board".

There's too many of you with the inability to string together enough letters to form a rebuttal, so you resort to "like us, or leave us".

It's weak. It's a sad example of wasted intelligence. Do I need to point out that before you hit send, you have UNLIMITED time to review your comments, thereby coming up with an intelligent rebuttal, as opposed to....dood you suck...or "yer so lame"....or countless other commentaries that make me want to hurt myself, and not in a good way.

And so help me fuck Jarmo, if you quote me again, at least have the decency to acknowledge the fact that I'm all for the band, optimistic, and all lovey dovey n shit, or whatever it takes to drink the kool aid these days....

My world? Sucked...

Bad Apples? Wasn't that good either...

Point proven..

Hell, even the Beatles had Revolution #9

Jarmo, thanks you for all you do.  I rarely post, but i come to the site at least once a week to see what's going on.  You really are the voice of reason for all of the gnr fans that post, and i don't know if people appreciate the patience involved.  anyway, i've searched most of the threads, and cant find an answer to a couple questions about shackler's.  I figure you may know, so if you get a second....

1.  Will the song be available for purchase anywhere, like itunes or maybe the video games soundtrack?
2.  Will the song be played on local radio?
3.  Is Sweden gonna qualify for the 2010 world cup?  I think they will if Zlatan stays healthy.

My World seems like something that Axl threw on at the end since he seems to have had creative control.There were way better songs that were left off from the Illusions.

Bad Apples kicks ass.

Compared to the rest of GnR's catalogue, no it doesn't.

And be careful what you say. Around here, My World is yet another psalm in the book of "We don't admit anything ever went wrong"

I don't know any GNR fans that say My World is a good song.It sounds like two minutes of Axl fucking around with a drum machine.

I think this has to be the single.I can't see GNR putting this song out waiting til November, dropping a single and then releasing the album.I see this being a decent hit for GNR until they release Better.That song could carry the album through the new year.GNR will not pass up the opportunity to cash in on Black Friday sales.Especially at a Best Buy.Those places are mobbed with people coming in for $99 TV's.Best Buy would have massive promotion for the album.I wouldnt be surprised to see a giant GNR display upon entering the store.

Cautious regarding the fact that WE'VE SEEN SHIT FALL APART TOO MANY TIMES!!!

Did you miss reading the part when I pointed out how this is different from all those "other times"?

Yeah, I think it's fair that GnR fans have a right to take everything with a grain of salt.

What exactly about the Sunday release of Rock Band 2 are you worried about?

1. Shacklers is a huge event for us.
2. It will sound great.
3. It will get people interested in GnR again.
4. It shows that we're in the right direction.
5. We all hope and pray the album is coming out soon.
6. I think it will.

But more importantly, one final point.

7. We've been saying the same thing for the last, what? Decade?

You've said the last stuff for a decade? But Shackler's Revenge wasn't out then....  


You completely missed the point.

You're being "cautious" about something that I'm not even talking about.

I'm personally EXCITED about the NEW SONG. I don't know what I should be cautious about now. I mean, I think the copies have been shipped to stores already. People will be lining up with their credit cards on Sunday.

One step at the time.

You on the other hand are posting a list of things that might happen AFTER that one song has come out.


And I do remember 2002 and every other fucking year before 2008.

I was excited about GN'R being on tour back then. Just like I was in 2007.

Now I'm excited about this new track.  

Razz.............. This is the first official release though. WAYYYYYYYYY different than some tours.

I agree with D for once. I'm scared.

Next I'll start listening to Bon Jovi. Oh the horror.....

I will buy the song for a buck from Itunes but no way am I buying that game for $200 or whatever it is.

[cineater]

Okay, if we're going to stay off topic, I like My World.  It really appeals to the stressed out, I'm looking out at you from some where deep inside my head and I should have a mental illness diagnosis.  It's like Coma, if you'd never been that far over the edge of mental health you're not going to get the depth of these songs.  At least that's where I connect with these songs.

Coma is one of the best GNR songs ever.My world is like a fourth rate Oh My God but not nearly as catchy or good.Pretty much any unreleased song from the Illusions blows it away.

I'm a big fan of "Bad Apples" myself.  Not high on "My World", I wouldn't say it sucks but I could do without it and it'd be the last example I'd play for someone who had never heard GNR.  I also never cared for "Silkworms", though I can't officially slam it since it's only been played live.  Maybe a studio version would sound better.

[Jim Bob]

For the record, I think My World kicks ass.   Its not meant to be taken seriously like Estranged or Locomotive.    I enjoy it for what it is.

My World is a minute and 20 seconds long...im not too sure it was meant to be anything more than a little fun at the end of the record....and Bad Apples is fucking awesome....one of the best tracks on the record...

[Olorin]

My World Sucks. (there is an idea for a depressed GN'R fans t-shirt in there somewhere)

And I'm sick of knocking over the sideboard and treading on the cats tail  in my stampede to the stereo after Don't Cry

[kaasupoltin]

I have always considered My World as an outro to the Illusions, not as an actual song.. and I like it as it is.
