Limburger talks Music

[Leo]

I think I still own the first album. and their covers album is actually pretty good.

 

[catalog]

this is my top number one gnr song



good bit where slash misses the train

this is what I was getting at. If this was guns n roses songs thered be more pyrotechnics, peaks and valleys. this ones a bit of a slog

 

[line b]

My dad told me he never liked Guns N Roses but he loved Sweet Child of Mine and as a man with a daughter it made him tear up.

youre right. the pedestrian plodding quality of it really helps you understand whats good about guns and roses

 

[version]

It's no surprise he absolutely shredded his voice,

 

[luka]

a lot of people heard that intro on the san andreas ad and nanananananananana naaaa they realised
wait, this is actually a good laugh, it's fun, i can enjoy it now. i wonder why these qualities were
previously obscured?

a little late in the game. An 80's band fighting the 90's

 

[line b]

I first heard them on The Simpsons I thought I must find this

 

[luka]

a little late in the game. An 80's band fighting the 90's

when guitar music had turned inwards and got self-conscious. this is why GnR were so uncool, probably the most uncool band
in history at that time

 

[luka]

the only person i came across who liked them was an Argentinan called Manuel whos bedroom (he was 12 or 13 at the time)
was plastered with porno pictures. centrefolds ripped out and pasted up. his dad was an executive with Lynx/Ax body spray.

The bit where he switches from his speaking voice to his singing voice at 0:35 in the one I posted is nuts, like the possession and voices thing we discussed in The Harlequin.

I didnt know his live singing voice so close to recorded product. impressive

 

[line b]

The guitar hero games also helped their resurgence. suddenly everyone loved slash

 

[version]

The Buckethead debacle was strange. There are clips of them playing huge arenas in Japan or wherever and they have to stop the show in the middle so he can start doing The Robot, waving nunchucks around and soloing. I love him, but he's too odd a character to really work in a band like that.

 

[line b]

And slash is a likeable figure. The classic guitar guy archetype in that he's very shy and possibly ashamed but his inner world is totally bitchin

 

[catalog]

Slashes favourite TV programme was absolutely fabulous wasn't it

 

[version]

 

[luka]

i see now that bucketheads stupid bucket is a homage to slash's stupid top hat

 

[line b]

bucketheads bucket is because he's an weirdo freak and nerd while slash's is a trick to draw eyes away from his face
