Agree with most everything said so far. Huge production especially. Not sure on the direct comparisons to HCSS but I'm never good a comparing to other bands anyway.

 

The comments on the main site tell people to take their arguments to the forums. Then they get policed anyway. Boring.

C'mon. We all know it was more than a mere argument.

 

I dunno, it was deleted before I finished reading it. Guess there was more to it.

Turned out LOVING this disc! Constantly in my shuffle of recent cd's. A lot of f bombs for sure but they work especially if you have it in a rotation of other discs.

Let Them Burn is a killer track and makes sense to me as a single.

The comments on the main site tell people to take their arguments to the forums. Then they get policed anyway. Boring.

Preseason isn't a gauge for how a team will do in the regular season anyway. The Lions went 4-0 in the preseason the same year they went 0-16 in the regular season. Whooping up on a teams 1st defense doesn't mean anything when the teams 1st offense isn't playing....changes the whole dynamic of the game from time of possession to what plays are called and substitutions made at what point.

As long as they dont sell out again and make another EP I and II, with characters like Jar Jar Binks and 1 hour long scenes for pod racing, etc. EP III was decent, darker. IV, V and VI...what Dan said.

I like that

This is a great CD, beginning to end, not a filler track on it!

Word is they tried to get bonus material but the SM camp wasn't willing.

 

GNR bashing threads make me laugh...and shake my head / roll my eyes at the same time.

 

Oh why? cause their so good? totally fucking blew dude, I never really create any bashing threads, for me to bash anyone, I gotta really dislike it, and I consider myself fairly well tuned in the ear, I mean I like greats like Bolton, George Michael, NIck Gilder, Cat Stevens, so it's not like I don't know what im talking about, and dude, I watched this concert completely off the cuff, I just happened upon it, and you know what my 1st thought was? fuck yeah, GNR, fucking sweet, man was I charged 3 hours of my life for suckering into watching it!!!

 

The concert may have sucked, too bad, but if you were not aware that they may sound like shit, not give a fuck, or go on stage 3 hours late then you have been asleep at the wheel for a long time. Bashing the concert, fair enough. Just because one live show sucked doesn't mean they sucked in 87, 89, 91. Even if people don't like GnR now or never did, those who make comments how bad they were is fine, their opinion. But like them or not they did a lot for the genre, even defined it to new degree and were at the top for a reason. So yeah, I think these threads that turn into GnR bashing are laughable...but that is just my opinion.

GNR bashing threads make me laugh...and shake my head / roll my eyes at the same time.

I think the vocals fit the style of music

 

Age Nielson's Shanghai'd is very good too.

that's so last year ;-)

 

Holy crap, time flies, that was last year.

Well, my comment still stands, it is very good...just not relevant to this thread! LOL

Age Nielson's Shanghai'd is very good too.

At least there is a chance they start making some good tunes now?

A buddy bought the download version. The Rough Demos cd sound fucking awful, hence the title. The others don't sound a lot different from the demos that have been floating around for years. Maybe doesn't have the hiss? Is it worth $15 a piece for cd-r's that haven't been remastered? Nah...had they been silver pressed though, sure.

 

Maybe everyone else will feel different as I try and not allow my hatred for the label get in the way of my judgement.

+1

I won't buy much if anything if it is a CDR.

Very cool tune! I'll be picking this one up for sure.

The Eagles...I agree the Murray signing helped. He did run behind the best offensive line in the NFL though. AND had a decent QB, veteran TE and one of the best WR's to open up that run game a bit. Matthews? meh...what has he ever done besides get hurt?

Steelers have a lot of holes to fill on d. Worilds retires at 27 and some old timers are cut/getting asked to retire:Keissel and Palamalu.

 

Hell Lebeau went to the Titans and it sounds like James Harrison might follow...

 

 

And to Jeffs question two words Paul Allen.

Not sure I follow...Paul Allen may be loaded but every team in the NFL must follow the same salary cap rules. I have a feeling once Russell Wilson cashes they might be gutting some parts of their roster or trying to push cap money out to later years, only prolonging a roster makeover. I suppose if you win some super bowls now that is a strategy.

I love the debut. Sure I don't spin it every month because I have a stack of CD's collecting up new and used that I need to listen to. When I have my PC on shuffle I always like it when a song from the debut comes on. Very solid IMO and Nothing Compares To You is a favorite.

This new one...well not a lot to add to the sentiments above. These guys are angry about something, modern, aggressive and while I do enjoy parts of pretty much each song I almost equally dislike something in each song. I agree with Nightrain, too bad they ventured so far from their debut. But Dynazty did something similar, and now their latest release I like it...just not how I like their debut.

There is some crazy ass stuff happening in the NFL. Eagles seem like they are cleaning house...playmakers leaving left and right.

Then Saints trading Graham to the...Seahawks? How does Seattle manage their salary cap is beyond me.

That doesn't cover all the surprising stuff but really I suppose should anything in the NFL surprise us?

I thought Tour De Force was....boring. I won't be buying this one blindly. Some heavy sampling will need to be done.

When I saw them live I had the opportunity to speak with Derek Davis after the show. I asked about new material in the future. He said with families, jobs, etc. there has not been a lot of time to put together new material. He mentioned this live disc and they try to get a few shows in during 2015.

So, not a lot of good news there from a new material perspective....get out to see them live though.

Now now, don't be a douchebag.

I really want to use that line in my emails at work...even in written form it conveys what you are thinking with relative calmness and matter of fact presentation.

I saw them live in late 2014 and man they bring it.

Do they have any live DVD's? I need to do a search on that. I don't watch a lot of live DVD's but I would watch their DVD probably more than once.
