I’ve got a cool Guns N’ Roses book to give away over at The Rock Dose. I was sent this book (Reckless Road: Guns N’ Roses and The Making Of Appetite For Destruction) earlier this year to review. I like the Guns N’ Roses of yester-decade and I really like this book but I made a promise at The Rock Dose awhile back that if Chinese Democracy was released this year that I would give it away. Unlike Dr. Pepper, I didn’t do this as a promotional stunt and I plan on making good on my promise. Unfortunately I …read more

On Vh1 Classics the other days I saw this video when I was channel surfing. I watched it from wherever I cam in at to the end. My first question is, is all that leather mandatory? Does he still think it’s a metal fashion statement or something? Anyway, This is one of those videos where they shoot a live performance and dub the sound over the top of it. Half the time he was singing in the audio, he wasn’t in the video. I don’t like the song. I think it’s corny and it sucks. I also know that Sebastian …read more

In the first part of this article I talked about bands that are hated because they changed styles or just are not really accepted by a lot of metal fans in the community of the huge dysfunctional family we call Heavy Metal. Now I’m going to talk about some of the Metal stars that somewhere along the line thought that they are better than other people and look down upon people, both fans and other bands as peasants in their kingdom of fame.

Resolves to start taking a shower at least once a week, and once a month when touring.

Axl Rose had a hell of a thanksgiving weekend when he had to fight to save his home from the recent wildfires plaguing California. I may not be an Axl fan and I am even guilty of talking trash about him on this blog, but I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Glad he made out alright. Here’s the story as reported from Blabbermouth.net
“KCAL-TV (Channel 9), an independent station in Los Angeles, California owned by CBS Corporation, is reporting that GUNS N’ ROSES frontman Axl Rose has plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving weekend, but it was a close …read more

Well I guess that Sebastian Bach didn’t think his voice sucked enough on his new record so he called in another former excellent vocalist to help make it suck even more. Don’t get me wrong here. I love the old GnR and Skid Row. In their day they were two very unique vocalists but these days…eh..how you say?…not so good.
