By your post one would think both are dead; last time I check Axel Rose is still alive!?!?

Axel's career without the real GNR band line-up is dead. THAT'S the joke!

Not really.

"Chinese Democracy" is better than any other Guns N' Roses album except "Appetite..."

Slash is pissing about with BEP and Rihanna.... and Duff, Matt Sorum and Izzy have vanished into obscurity.

I know who I'd rather be right now.

Me too--Slash. At least his name's still out there, and he's making $ to boot. WTF is up with Axel nowadays? And the others, as you've said, have fallen off of the face of the Earth.

I enjoyed the show but I could have done without Slash. I swear folk act like he's the greatest guitarist that ever lived or something. When G&R died...so did he. Keep it moving

Dang...watching this video once more is making me mad. Mad because they used to be so great. I love this music here...but to be recognized they had to add a non-singing blond and then shoot up the pop tart charts??? Makes me sick. Now all they do is mediocre bullshit music.

Well, like James Brown said on the song he did with them, "They don't want music, they don't know how to use it..."

Worst ever. Tone deaf harmonies. "....pack the house, try to sing, there won't be no one left" "... Only good rapper is one that's dead..... On it. "

You're quoting a guy who made a record with T.C. Ellis, and had the so-called dancer Greg Brooks with the Davy Crockett hat in his band.

As always, the BEP suck, but especially suck live I think most of knew when we it was announced they would be the half time act that the show would be horrible

VA, you know I'm a fan of your wicked sense of humor. But please, stop fronting. You know you have a little bit of a crush on Troy Polamalu!

Just saying.

Vain don't have to like him 'cause I love him.

As for the BEP...they couldn't have been syching 'cause they sounded like garbage. The audio people should be fired. Was Usher's mic even on? The visuals were the only good thing.

brain fart edit

Usher wasn't singing OR lip-syncing at all. He was only dancing.

I'll say it again: Blame Interscope/A&M Records CEO Jimmy Iovine. It was his fault for successfully "convincing" will.i.am to make Fergie a full-time member of the BEPs.

At this point of his career, Slash has become the Kevin Nash of rock & roll. He'll only do music for the money.

And Axel is still an asshole!

That's really true. That fact got lost in all the "ya-ya" about its release, but yeah......CD IS second to Appetite, that is, if you are honest in your strictly musical appraisal.

That said, the musical legacy of the band is far overrated IMO, absent the 1987 context of their debut.

Rant over...sorry for the momentary thread-jack.
