Random Music Talk CXV: Kill Em All

[LemonMelon]

glissandos and guitar slides (not with actual slides but some random ups and downs) are musicians' favorite.

If someone handed Axl a guitar, he'd just pick scrape over and over.

Let's get one of the biggest reunion acts to play and then just show two songs for the "live" broadcast.

or dive-bomb.

 

[prbiker15]

Wait, so Axl Rose really is going to be the new AC/DC singer?

Hahahahahahaha.

They should have just cancelled the tour.

 

[LemonMelon]

Can't wait to hear some of that classic Axl enunciation applied to AC/DC.

Eyeyeahheyayeyemmm on the hieeieyeyeyyayeyayyeaywaaaayy to hell!!

Also, Imps brought this to my attention Coachella Promoters Planning Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Rolling Stones Mega-Concert | Pitchfork

Oldchella.

Their current drummer is the only black man to ever have anything to do with Guns N Roses and he's being paid

Interesting how the folk jab onto the drummer and Axl is getting a mixed reaction on at these early shows but little to no reaction to, say, Slash murdering November Rain solo.

 

[U2girl]

AC/DC uproar over Axl stepping in for the vocals is somewhat interesting since mr Johnson himself wasn't the original singer for the Thunder from down under...

 

[david]

Well, the band carried on when Scott died and wrote Back in Black as a tribute to him and was viewed as a triumph through tragedy moment for the band. I think people are viewing Axl joining as a big cash grab and FU to Johnson.

Axl offered and they accepted. It's not like a full fledged tour, just a few dates. Guns have a tour on their own that Axl will return to once he finishes the stint with AC DC.
Was Johnson a FU to Bon Scott when he died ? Was it a FU to Malcom Young when AC DC continued without him ?

BTW, not bad...

 

[Hewson]

Axl's a decent fit for AC/DC vocally. Johnson hasn't sounded great lately anyway.

 

[Mack_Again]

yeah Johnson has been kinda awful, just screaming the lyrics rather than actually singing (but that was kinda his singing style so I guess I can't attribute that strictly to his terribleness)

 

[Axver]

The point is that Axl is a joke.

Not sure how many of you kept abreast of it, but our Agriculture Minister (and our current Prime Minister by proxy) threatened to kill Johnny Depp's dogs a while back. Now... him and his wife have been forced to apologise via Facebook video and I've watched it about a million times already https://www.buzzfeed.com/bradesposi...erful-island?utm_term=.dgxXXdrblm#.hyVZZWa3dV

Australia is not an island, Depp! It's a continent!

 

[cobl04]

All Australians are warm and erect.

 

[Kieran McConville]

this is the wattle
the emblem of our land

To be fair, it was Amanda Heard who called it an Island.

Johnny looks positively thrilled in that video. Sounded like he started to speak in an Aussie accent (or as Captain Jack-off Sparrow) at one point then stopped himself.


Depp before:


Depp now:

 

[Kieran McConville]

I'd say Johnny Depp was probably fairly stoned while making that video.

A hugely underrated song by The National is "Baby, We'll Be Fine". I fucking love that song so much.

 

[iron yuppie]

I put on an argyle sweater and put on a smile

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm so sorry for everything

I did too. The opening track is amazing.

 

[LemonMelon]

An essential track from his previous album:

 

[IWasBored]

I honestly wasn't going to give him a chance cos Joe Rogan was raving about him, and that seemed like a quality reason not to check out his music. But the Martha stamp of approval is hard to ignore. I'm at work so I can't double check, but in addition to the opening track being excellent, the one with the horns two or three songs in was pretty excellent too.

Never doubt Joe Rogan. He'd never steer you wrong. Maybe once. Ever. In human history.

Never doubt Joe Rogan. He'd never steer you wrong.

Even if he told you to lie down in a coffin filled with snakes and then told you to eat a plate of bull testicles?

 

[bono_212]

Exactly.
