There's only one album better than Hunky Dory, and that's Rain Dogs.

It never gets as much love as other New Order singles, but "Regret" is pretty much perfect.

Yes.

Still haven't checked out White Chalk. My lack of interest stemmed from Uh Huh Her being pretty lousy, and the album before that, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea—which I liked—having came out all the way back in 2000.

Why aren't there more people here who realize this.

I've read enough of your posts in this folder to confidentally state you are one the stupidest, most ignorant people to populate it.

Jeez, only five bands I'd be willing to pay to see; one of which I've seen a few times already and the other I'm seeing in a couple of weeks. Coachella rarely interests me, but this is lamer than usual.

Man, fuck this. I can't cough without it feeling like someone is stepping on my chest. Keep me company, guys.

I never saw that movie, so I didn't get what you were going for.

Let's talk about good albums from 1973. Open for discussion: Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star Can - Future Days New York Dolls - s/t David Bowie - Aladdin Sane Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure Roxy Music - Stranded Bryan Ferry - These Foolish Things Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets Genesis - Selling England By the Pound King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic Feel free to add more!

Serious answer: As a child, I had asthma. It gradually declined while I was in elementary school, to the point where now, in my adult life, I get a mild attack—more a minor nuisance than an "attack"—a couple times a year. As such, whenever I get a cold (a rarity itself), it tends to linger a lot longer than it would in most people. So, I got a cold a couple weeks back, which, even after everything else went away, a minor cough remained. I woke up on Thursday morning with a runny nose and mild fever, with the chest pain coming later that evening. It turns out I've had pneumonia before. I was too young to remember, so when the pain—which I originally thought to be a sore muscle—intensified on Friday, I became concerned that it was something more severe: my heart. I quickly put that foolish thought out of my mind, and here we are. I realize I haven't actually answered your question. Honestly, I don't know how I got it. I just know I'm more susceptible to it due to lingering respiration problems from my childhood. Amazing this hasn't happened sooner.

I've no reason to think the stats are skewed. I bought something from cduniverse about a month ago!

The only time I ever noticed him was however long ago when he was always telling people to suck his dick. I think "suck my dick" counted for a solid 60% of his posts.

When and why did King become popular?

I like Goats Head Soup. Some duds, sure, but there's some classics on it. Closing Time remains my favorite Waits album from the 70s; for all the virtures of those that followed, a lot of his lounge lizard work was interchangeable.

Am I going to die? I had a pretty bad episode last night, but I'm feeling comparatively fine today. The chest pain is there, but tolerable.

Wasn't Laz still in high school at the time of that thread

Sensei John Kreese puttin' the bop on two people consecutively.

I'm no more a fan of this band than Czech. Plus, he was like four when GNR were huge, so of course he is at a loss as to why some people are still interested in this album. He's not in the minority, either; I'm sure there are college kids all across the country that get pumped when "Paradise City" comes up on shuffle at whatever bro-tastic party they're at, but that doesn't mean they care about or even know of Chinese Democracy. You and I have discussed this before, Kreese.

The mystique is easily explainable. Volatile frontman for a band that was once one of the biggest rock bands around basically becomes a recluse—people love crazy—takes an eternity to make a new album, occasionally punctuating the silence with a new song or some live shows or talk of "this year will really be the year, I swear," just to keep up public interest and speculation. It's fascinating.

It'd be neat if the final product was just a slim 10 tracks and a less than 50-minute length, but, given Rose's ego and the interminable wait for this album and the public's preference of quantity over quality, Chinese Democracy will probably have 15 or 16 songs, with a total running time of 78 minutes.

I don't get why there's allegedly such hemming and hawing over how to market this album. As Kreese alluded to, unless there's some rock radio-friendly singles, the only real way to promote a new GNR album is to say "hey, at long last here's the GNR album." Play up the "forever in the making" angle. There's no way this album will turn a profit, so they may as well have some fun with it. Axl likely takes himself too seriously for that, however.
