I'm gonna watch this even though Motley Crue were at best a pretty fucken ordinary band.
I can't imagine how good the equivalent GnR movie would be.
Kickstart My Heart and Dr Feelgood are as good a rock tracks as you are going to hear. The rest i could easily take or leave.
A decent GnR movie could never be made. Not sure the egos in play could handle it.
Axle is a complete fluffybunny, the Steve Adler book proved that. I’m amazed they stayed together as long as they did
Have you read the Slash book?
He insinuated throughout it that Axl is as you say, but then also was pretty clear in pointing out that the rest of them were such a bunch of drunks / addicts, that he wasn't necessarily wrong to do what he did.
I'm still fairly confident the Axl/Slash "we'll never reunite" feud was very well stage managed to extract as much $$$$ as possible out of the "not in this lifetime" tour.
No haven’t read that one, yeah for sure no doubt they all took too many drugs (especially addler) and drunk too much piss. But addler grew up with slash they played together since they were teenagers. From memory axl was a division in the band. Because he played they biggest role in writing the songs he eventually felt he deserved the bigger slice of the royalty pie. Which is fair to a degree. The worse thing is how Addler was treated at the end. He was shut out from the new stuff (Use your Illusion 1 & II) they set him up by performing new songs knowing he had been excluded from practicing with them.
And eventually offered to buy him out for something like $1,000 (taking advantage of his fucked up state)
Don’t forget many a gnr show had no axl because he was too wasted to turn up. Slash and Izzy had to share the vocals at the last minute.Don't you mean Duff ?
As a Bass player he was always my favourite member of the band and he's definitely aged the best too. Pretty decent frontman too as he showed in Welly a couple of years back.
Axel definitely had one of the most distinctive and amazing voices in rock but I think Slash is definitely overrated as a guitarist. In saying that he is probably the last true guitar hero in rock and his look is obviously a massive part of that appeal.
Yes your right Duff, though I’m certain they all had to cover for axl at some point
The bigger gnr grew the bigger axls ego grew.I don't really have an issue with that. So many of my favourite musos ( Prince, Richie Blackmore, Axel, Mike Patton, James Brown to name a few ) sound like complete and utter shitcunts in real life. To me that's part and parcel of being a super talented superstar.
It's ones that are like that and who have awful music ( Kanye West, Oasis, Beiber ) who irk me far more.

No wonder Bill Ward had to retire hurt when the other three kept going strong.....in this version he was beating those skins like they owed him money. Fucken brilliant from the Godfathers of Metal......
I’ve watched that same clip many, many times. It’s awesome.
-
This was one of the first songs I ever heard by the Music Machine too many deacdes ago, and it’s still one of their best...
This is the rare mono version with the longer & more twisted run-out that makes the song even better (tho’ sadly this youtube uploader fades too quick).
I was recently reading that a few years after this recording bassist Keith Olsen was paying a young broke Stevie Nicks to be his house-keeper, introduced her and Lyndsey Buckingham to Mick Fleetwood, produced their album, and the rest as they say is history. He later produced records by Grateful Dead and Ozzy, to name a few, he’s quite prolific. Shame the ‘Machine only lasted 18 months.

Kurt Cobain killed himself 25 years ago. (Wow, that was fast.)

After watching the Motley Crue movie, i am now reading Duff McKagan's book, and therefore i am also listening to Guns n Roses
Appetite for Destruction fucking rules. In the conversation for greatest debut album ever, and best side 1 track 1 too. I absolutely love the guitar sound and the riffs throughout this album.
Anyway, in an album of standout tracks, this is my favourite.
Probably closely followed by Nightrain

@mariner4life They are doing "Signature Song" for big bands on Hauraki. What do you think was their signature song? It was done by voting and they played 3rd, 2nd and obviously 1st.
I want you to guess before I list the three songs!

Sweet Child of Mine made them, but is one of my least favourites.
3 Paradise City
2 November Rain
1 Sweet Child of MineNot my choices, but my stab at what the vote was.

Not three bad there @mariner4life 2&1 were correct but 3 was Welcome To The Jungle.
I don't understand how Paradise City isn't number 1 let along top three! That also used to be my favourite music video
-
@Hooroo shit, really? Jungle is the best of all the 4 songs we listed, but wasn't sure that people would pick that.
If it was me:
Paradise City
You could be Mine (T2 was massive!)
Junglebut my 3 favourite Guns songs all run together on Appetite: Nightrain, Out to Get Me, Mr Brownstone. Filthy rock and roll!!

I fuckin' love that album.
-
@Hooroo that signature song thing would be quite interesting to see what they came up with for different bands. Could spark endless debate.
-
Alot of my favourite bands have a signature song that is either overplayed or quite shit.....
Case in point - Led Zep "Stairway to Heaven" Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water" and Faith no More "Epic"
Each of those groups has in my opinion done countless way better songs than the ones they are most famous for.
-
Monday it was Led Zep
3 Kashmir
2 Stairway to Heaven
1 Immigrant SongIt is so cool having this play at 5 pm when I am driving home.

3 and 1 would be in mine easy!!
Rock and Roll would be the third. -

Could easily add "Whole lotta love" "Black Dog" "Over the hills and far away" "d'yer maker" "Dazed and Confused" "All my love"......
fucken heaps really.

@MN5 the Epic thing drives me nuts. It's not even close to the best track on the album it's off. And yet there it is, FNM's only song apparently.

Well you and I are much bigger fans that most to be fair. I don't genuinely hate it as much as the other two which are THE signature songs of those two rock icons.......
-
@MN5 to be fair, most people would battle to name another Deep Purple song (I personally love Highway Star, but that's hardly an obscure choice)
As an aside, Use Your Illusion is a bloated mess.
