On this day today, 25 years ago, one of the greatest Rock N’ Roll album of all time was released!
The first time I listened to it I was hooked like millions!
Congrats to all people that was involved in that amazing album, and happy 25th birthday “Appetite for destruction”!
The Rock n Roll hall of fame is doing an online poll, to know wich band should be inducted next year in the rock n roll hall of fame. I am not going to tell you what to do hey?
Come on Guns N’ Roses fans. VOTE!
http://rockhall.com/get-involved/interact/poll/
GUNS N’ ROSES is among 15 finalists for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Also hitting the ballot for the first time are THE CURE, HEART, JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS, ERIC B. AND RAKIM, THE SPINNERS, THE SMALL FACES/FACES, FREDDY KING and RUFUS WITH CHAKA KHAN, while previous nominees BEASTIE BOYS, LAURA NYRO, WAR DONOVAN and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS also made the cut. Votes will be cast by a group of more than 500 musicians and industry professionals; of the 15 nominees, the five that get the most votes will be announced in January and inducted into the Hall Of Fame at its 27th annual ceremony on April 14, 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio, home to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame And Museum.
GUNS N’ ROSES was nominated in its first year of eligibility.
“It’s a great honor,” former GUNS N’ ROSES guitarist Gilby Clarke told The Plain Dealer. “The band deserves it. It was a long time coming.”
Acts become eligible 25 years after the release of their first record.
Eccentric singer Axl Rose is the only original member of the current GUNS N’ ROSES lineup, and while he has recently been on friendlier terms with guitarist Izzy Stradlin and bass player Duff McKagan, he and guitarist Slash are not on speaking terms.
Asked about what the former bandmates will do if they are inducted, Slash said, “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there . . . If they’re gonna pass you over, I don’t think it’s worth worrying about too much.”
Earlier this year, former GUNS N’ ROSES bassist Duff McKagan spoke to MusicRadar.com about the possibility of the band being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
“My only experience with the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame was when VELVET REVOLVER played it and we were inducting VAN HALEN,” he said. “That whole band was supposed to be there, including David Lee Roth — we were going to do a song with him. It all started falling apart in the two weeks leading up to the gig. It was sad to watch…
“We were just the innocent band that was there to play VAN HALEN songs, and we saw their whole thing crumble. To see Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar show up, when it was supposed to be everybody… Michael and Sammy were really cool guys and good sports about it, but they took all the heat over the situation. A lot of heat.
“I don’t know if I want to set myself up for heat. It’s going to be a debacle, isn’t it? A press debacle. I just don’t know what else to say about it.”
Slash said that he was glad to see Alice Cooper going in this year, and as for who has been overlooked, the guitarist said, “The one that comes to mind right off the bat — and it’s not even a band that I’m a huge fan of but definitely is eligible — is KISS. And I know that they’ve been passed over every fucking year.

This one is fucking great! PARADISE CITY! One of the greatest rock n’ roll anthem of all time. Everything is spot on on this song. Riff, lyrics, energy
Seing that song live is a total blast. If you saw that live, you really know what I am talking about.
Here it is: Paradise city threw the years! ENJOY!

I am posting that because I am fed up!
Since the super bowl, where we saw an ex Guns N’ Roses member make a fool out of himself, some web sites (i won’t name and link you there because I don’t wanna make publicity for them) just started saying that negociations were starting to bring the original line-up of Guns N’ Roses back together for the next Super Bowl. That those negociations were under way, and that people were really interesting in this….
WHAT A PILE OF CRAP.
For the people believing that Axl and that ex-guitar player will get back together…well think again. IT WILL NEVER happen. NEVER. And why should those two get back together? Give me one reason why. The only reason they would get back together is $$$$$$. Of course, the ex-player would take the cash….THAT is for sure. We saw what he did at the Super Bowl..But Axl don’t need no money. He has plenty, and I don’t believe one second that he would do the whore just to get some more money. He will leave that to somebody else.
And musically…why in the hell some people want to see the original line-up? Once in awhile, YES, it is nice to see Duff, Izzy,playing some old tunes for the fun of it with the current line-up. It was fun seing Izzy in 2006 rocking some tunes with Axl, and it was fun to see Duff rocking You could be mine last year. Personnally, I would love to see Steven banging his drums on Rocket queen once in awhile..Just for fun. That would be cool for fans, and of course for STeven. Steven deserve to have fun for a couple of nights, and play to big crowd once more. But to play with Sla$h? Nahhhh…. The current line-up is AMAZING. We have super musicians that blow the minds of everybody that saw the band live! People who wanna see the original line-up didn’t see the current line-up live, OR are living in the past. Living with the impression that the good old days were better than the days we are now.
I am asking myself WHY we would wanna see some guys that don’t wanna be together on the same stage anymore? WHY? Forget the “good ol’ days”, and live in the present people. Some GREAT things happened in the past few years for Gunners fans. A GREAT CD, GREAT shows around the world etc etc. What would people gain in seing 2 guys hating each other pleying together? NOTHING AT ALL!
Some people say to me that it is inevitable. That we will see the original line-up one day. I don’t believe it one single bit. I don’t believe it, and I don’t wanna see it happen. Guns N’ Roses now has never been better live, and we should leave it like that. Not only that, but I don,T think I ever saw Axl so happy to play live, and so happy to be surrounded by his band mates. JUST LEAVE IT LIKE THAT! Axl is not close to the idea of inviting ex members to join him onstage. He said it before. BUT ONLY ONE AT A TIME, AND NOT SLASH!
Axl has all my respect to stay focus on his band, and not to live in the past. Past is past. Look in the future, and leave the past where it is. Robert PLant don’t wanna reunite Led Zeppelin…GREAT. Leave Led Zeppelin where it is. Those 2 have all my respect. Reuniting a band that was once good just for the money is NOT what I call a rock n’ Roll attitude.
I call it being a whore, plain and simple!

Here is another “Threw the years ” post. This one is a great one. Rocket Queen. A GREAT FUCKING song. It has been written for a girl Axl knew back then. And later this week or next week, I will have a special surprise for you guys….Hope you will like it.
But for now, let’s go out on a journey…a journey with the ROCKET QUEEN!!!!

This will be the fourth time I do a post “threw the years”. Here is one of the best song that came out of Guns N’ Roses. Welcome to the jungle is THE rock n roll hymn. I don’t think that there is another song so full of energy and passion. It is my favorite anyways, and I know that the Gunners fans around the world are loving it as much as I do.
Check out how that song evolved around the years, and see how much energy this song still has 25 years later!
WELCOME TO THE FUCKING JUNGLE PEOPLE!!!!!!
