Steve9347 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 05:02 AM) Have you ever stopped to notice how strange rock music is? I mean, it's such a part of our culture now that we hardly even notice. Our ears are so well trained for it, that we can pick out melody among all that noise. The next time you listen to it, pretend if you can, that you'd never been exposed to it before. It's really weird noise. Ok, Grandpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 AWESOME. I had actually never seen Coheed live before, so seeing "In Keeping Secrets...", which is my favorite album by them, in it's entirety as my first time is pretty great. Such talented musicians and Claudio's voice sounds amazing live. I was pretty drunk, but it was still an enjoyable experience haha. They played "2113", "Gravemakers & Gunslingers", and "The Suffering" as an encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I'm confused about 'Chinese Democracy'. Is it a GNR record with the original line up? Or is fat Axl with a burned out voice and those three other clowns running around in pajamas and masks? If it's the original line up, what the hell took so long to put the record out? Anyone heard any of it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hired and fired a bunch of guys since they started work on this disc 43 years ago. The end result is a VERY bland album that cost a fortune to produce. I've heard a bunch of leaks and I am not impressed in the least. Underwhelming would be an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the tour was over in a month or less. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STc30hsUCoY Is is that band?..... was the recording going on during the same time?

shipps Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 For those that are fans, The Cure's newest album is pretty good.There is about 5 songs on it that I cant stop playing and shows they still have it....and now I will wash off my eyeliner.

Robin Finck from Nine Inch Nails, Buckethead are the two names I know, and there is a hired bassist and drummer as well. I wonder if Axl will ever come to the realization that his ego stepped on his fame and fortune, and the only way GnR is going to make its money again is with a true reunion tour. Its highly doubtful, but hey, the Police toured again, so anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Cure, and I hardly ever cry! And LMB, I'm enough of a conspiracy theorist to believe that those writers are "encouraged" to find positives about the new GnR disc. It seriously does nothing for me. It sounds very confused, which is easy for me to believe, given the number of lineup changes, rewrites, scrapping/rerecording of tracks, and so forth. I won't be buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also the only guy tagging along for the duration it seems, and he seems to be the main guy Axl has any respect for as he has been allowed to record a solo album during all this time, and do numerous side projects. That's Tommy Stinson from The Replacements. Edited November 15, 2008 by Kid Gleason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 KG, Stinson is completely out of place in that band. Kyle, even a reunion with the original members wouldn't interest me. I bet the rest of the band could pull it off, they might have even become better musicians, but Axl's voice was shot 10 years ago and that was no surprise.

Tommy's probably a salaried employee anyway, I'd bet that all the post-recoup money goes to Bill Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Nov 16, 2008 -> 03:58 AM) Blues Brothers? That's just it. I don't know who does the version that is always played when a big sports event is occuring in Chicago. I ran across a version by John Belushi that was pretty damn good, but I don't think it's "the" one. Also versions by Clapton and Foghat. I'm just trying to pin down the definitive version.
