You leave the second love of my life James Hetfield alone Ghostship Grin. He has aged like a wonderful wine. Axl always sucked, Slash was the heart of GnR (bloody nice guy too!)

GhostShip · 25/10/2012 00:26

:o @ princess
And I do apologise pumpkin but I do wish the Kill 'Em All Metllica where back!

Mmm James Hefield, delish. Although he is an utter redneck, yes. I could keep him as long as he didn't speak. Ever.

Also Lars was v.hot in his twenties. Shame he did not age well :(

Thats why women should stick to Take That and Steps and leave Rock to the boys

I missed this! I'm one of the biggest metal heads you'll meet so..... There. (Sticks tongue tongue out)

Axl Rose is a total bellend. Although I don't think that's been any secret in the last 20 years.

It's aaaaaall about Iron Maiden imo. Their shows get better every year, and Bruce's voice is wonderful.

FryOneGhoulishGhostlyManic · 25/10/2012 10:22

Iron Maiden forever...Grin

DS (aged 8) has asked me to put IM stuff into his MP3...good lad!

chickensaresafehere · 25/10/2012 10:32

Oh dear,oh dear,oh dear!!
I was a huge fan in the 90's,went to see them at Wembley Stadium & they were awesome.Cannot believe how odd Axl looks & WTF has happened to his voice?!?!
Step away from the stage darling & leave us with the happy memories,please!!

GhostShip · 25/10/2012 10:47

Iron Maiden are headlining Donnington (Download Festival) next year. Saw them there a few years ago and they were immense. Must go again

A friend of mine has a band who's just done a song with Blaze Bailey (ex Iron Maiden singer) Tis oreet.

Noooooooooooooo, that was blasphemy! My eyes! My ears! Has any one got a time machine to take me back 5 minutes? Back to when Axl was a sexy rock god and all was right with the world.

StuntGirl · 25/10/2012 11:23

Sorry Stacee, Axl was never sexy!

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 25/10/2012 11:29

DH is a mental G'n'R fan. He has seen Axl many, many times. He was at the Dublin gig where Axl chucked a tantrum and was forced to return to the stage after being bottled and he stood at the mic like a stroppy toddler and sang as sarcastically as possible. DH has always claimed that his voice is as good as ever, although he has a weirdy botox head now. I have so far escaped being dragged to any of these gigs, and even got out of the Slash one last month .

marjproops · 25/10/2012 11:50

Always thought Axl sounded like Barry Gibb!!! What about the rolling stones then? should they call it or not?

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 25/10/2012 11:51

I think the Rolling Stones are cyborgs at this stage.

HeadlessForHalloween · 25/10/2012 11:55

Hahahaha! That video is so bad it's funny! The comments below about him sounding like Mickey Mouse on drugs Grin

DameMargotFountain · 25/10/2012 11:56

fucking hell

that was pitiful - like one of the comments under the video, i too think i can hear slash laughing all the way from here too Grin

EnglishGirlApproximately · 25/10/2012 11:59

Good lord!

Dp insists that Chinese Democracy is a good album Confused. I think he's in denial.

HeadlessForHalloween · 25/10/2012 11:59

Haha! Slash is too cool to be laughing, he's probably just smirking under his hat and hair and feeling smug Grin

DameMargotFountain · 25/10/2012 12:01

nah, a huge great big rolling back so far he fell of his chair and almost spilled his pint laugh Grin

HeadlessForHalloween · 25/10/2012 12:07

Maybe, after all the video is spectacularly bad Grin

mcrvamp · 25/10/2012 12:51

Oh God he should have given up years ago!

But then it was and still is about Duff! Lovely man his autobio is a great read.

MrsKeithRichards · 25/10/2012 12:52

Axl was sexy! Very, very sexy especially in a kilt and vest!

mcrvamp · 25/10/2012 12:55

Was that izzy In the blue scarf?

tutu100 · 25/10/2012 12:58

I watched it shocked, and then thought well it's not really still guns n' roses is it. It's just Axl Rose.

I am in love with Slash, Duff and Matt. Velvet Rovolver are fab.

I also love Metallica. I don't think Lars has aged badly but James is still my favourite.
