EstrangedTWAT

The only demos of Estranged that were ever heard by the public were rough mixes of the album takes. There is no demo of Axl singing or writing the song. I mean, I'm sure it exists, but it never got out. The "piano demo" that every dumbfuck and his inbred grandmother at the Gyna believe to be Axl is NOT. It was simply a piano cover that a guy did and uploaded around 2002, and people insist "oh that's Axl...I know his playing...ONLY Axl can play like that." I provided proof to the mongoloids...the guy himself saying how flattering it was that people liked his cover, but these dipshits will still insist to this day that it's an Axl piano "demo"....cause they simply refuse to believe otherwise. Fucking hell, I hate them so much.

Well, we have NR demos going back to about 1985 or so. And Estranged didn't exist until 1990. Seems highly unlikely that they would attempt to combine an already old song with a new really long song. It's possible, sure. But I just think these guys tend to exaggerate and mis-remember stuff. Don't forger they were all fucked up most of the time back then. And also don't forget that we are far more obsessive than they are. We care about this stuff on a deeper level than they do.

2019 is almost a third over, and I haven't heard a single song written or released this year. Doubt that's gonna change either, cause I'm a grumpy old man and that's the way WE LIKE IT.

Come on man. Don't be a hater. Jesus was way cool. Everybody liked Jesus. Everybody wanted to hang out with him. Anything he wanted to do, he did. He turned water into wine, and if he had wanted to, he could have turned wheat into marijuana, sugar into cocaine, or vitamin pills into amphetamines. He walked on the water and swam on the land. He would tell these stories and people would listen. He was really cool. If you were blind, or lame, you just went up to Jesus and he would put his hands on you and you would be healed. That's so cool. He could have played guitar better than Hendrix. He could have told the future. He could have baked the most delicious cake in the world. He could have scored more goals than Wayne Gretsky. He could have danced better than Barishnikof. Jesus could have been funnier than any comedian you can think of. Jesus told people to eat his body and drink his blood. That's so cool. Jesus was so cool. But then some people got jealous of how cool he was, so they killed him. But then he rose from the dead! He rose from the dead, danced around and went up to heaven. I mean, that's so cool. Jesus was so cool. No wonder there are so many Christians.

I honestly think that was just Slash embellishing. He probably felt like the song was longer than it really was.

I can't remember the last time I popped a CD in to any kind of system to actually listen to. I only collect them now, as yet another growing pile of technically useless stuff that I just like to "have." (We're talking a few dozen here....I swear I'm not a hoarder.) My last purchase was the Estranged US promo cd in cardboard sleeve, still sealed. $20 shipped....I thought it was worth it. The new one I have a bug up my butt about getting is a three CD bootleg set that came in a cardboard box. I saw it at a record convention back in the 90s and it was about $150. To a high school kid in 1993 that may as well have been $1500. I'm sure I have all the songs from it on MP3, but damn it, I still want it. (First track was Coma....remember how pants-shittingly rare that was, once upon a time?) I have no idea if this is "off topic" or not...Miser seemed to have messed up the first two links, so since Wasted is talking about CDs, I'll talk about CDs.

First ep was all Indian-American cast. Oh, and a Black lesbian. One obnoxious asshole racist white guy, promptly killed. Second ep was the remake of the Shatner airplane one with a white guy as the crazy that dooms the whole flight. The US air marshal was a teenage (!) woke black chick. Third ep was hardworking single black mom taking her perfect straight A son to college only to be dogged by big bad racist southern cop stalking them the whole way there. Fourth ep was oppressed Eskimos (Inuits) in Alaska with asshole Greg Kinnear as racist boss, keeping them down and taking their land. SOoooooo yeah. Exactly what you'd expect. I'll never watch another minute.

Let us proclaaaaaimmmm...the mystery of faaaaaiiithhh.....

You know it's bad when even the infinite patience of JB is tested.

I'm not opposed to banging a hooer. I might even fly to Thailand or Vietnam or something and just fuck cheap Asian hookers til my dick falls off. Just gotta watch out for the ladyboys, I know. But the truth is...I need to lose weight first. Yeah yeah, whores aren't supposed to judge. I'm not worried about that. I just don't wanna keel over of a heart attack five pumps in, ya know? I think I'll splurge and get a threesome. I've always wanted to have a threesome and it's never gonna happen organically. I had a friend that says it doesn't "count" if you pay for it, but fuck that....fucking two girls at once is still fucking two girls at once.

Why would I want to watch a PC, sanitized, watered down version? I've read the originals. Any attempt at adapting it is going to be shit. Just like how they butchered Preacher, which I refuse to watch even a preview for, on general principle.

Luckily for me, I'm both.

Teenage Fanclub? They were the musical guest when Jason Priestly hosted Saturday Night Live way back in the early 90s. I think someone thought it would be "cute" cause he was a teen heartthrob at the time, but it sent the message that it was some kind of "joke" band and I think that's why they never caught on in the States. Apparently one of the members plays in Belle & Sebastian now, cause when I saw them a little over a year ago they mentioned it on stage, and then started riffing on the song "The Concept." All the indie-music loving Japs in the crowd started singing along, and I had no idea what the song was. So they must have had a little success in Japan at some point.

Back in the 90s I had a subscription to Details magazine. Almost a year after his death, they did an in-depth article on Shannon Hoon. One thing that stuck with me was that his mother's prized possession was a tape of him singing Pink Floyd's "Mother" for her, and she was unaware that the song is really about a horrible overbearing mother that stifles her son. Still, I sure would love to hear it. His mom has never released it, as far as I know. You can read the article here: http://www.blindmelonarticles.com/pdf/Details_July_1996_01.pdf

Thinking of checking out Jordan Peele's update of the Twilight Zone? Don't bother. It's pure sheeeeeeeiiiiit. I gave it a chance, but god is it lazy, tired, hack bullshit. Black Mirror is the only updated Twilight Zone we'll ever need. Even the episodes from the late 80s were vastly superior. This is some limpdick bullshit. Watch it for yourself if you don't believe me.
