Assuming by 'top' you mean 'to someone from England who likes snarking on crappy music'.

15 years it took who to record what?

The Spaghetti Incident (and even that wasn't a proper one)

I enjoy it, even if it is all covers.

Guns N' Roses is dead now anyway. It's the Axl Rose Band.

Still think they will regroup sometime and tour. There's too much money sitting there not to.

I hear it comes with a free copy of Duke Nukem Forever.

Does this mean we all get free Dr Pepper?

with the name of the new cd you would think that list would be a lot better.

/at least its all on one page.

GNR?

Three dog.

All you need to know.

/No, I still haven't finished it. 56 hours+.

25/3/96 Braveheart, the factually ridiculous English-hating epic by reactionary bigot Mel Gibson, wins Best Picture at the Oscars.

Someone sounds a little bitter.

"1/1/00 The 21st century begins, unless you're one of those pedantic twerps who points out that it doesn't actually start until 2001."

Would I be a pendantic twerp if I said that saying the millenium started in 2001 is retarded?

 
Jammybee 2008-11-09 06:56:57 AM  
Btw a pendantic twerp is someone who is a pedant and wears a necklace.

26/5/98 Bear Grylls becomes the youngest man to climb Everest, paving the way for a glittering career in made-up survival telly.

19/8/98 Bill Clinton admits to an "improper physical relationship" with Monica Lewinsky. She blew him, in other words.

It's not GNR anymore, but I have to admit - the title track to Chinese Democracy is pretty damn awesome. If the whole album sounds like that, I'll be pretty impressed. I still don't think it was worth a 15 year wait, though.

FTFA: 18/11/96 Bird expert Tony Silva is sentenced to seven years in prison for his part in an illegal parrot smuggling ring.

Was it with a bicycle, from Belarus?

/Too obscure?

FTA: 20/4/99 Marilyn Manson orchestrates the Columbine High School massacre.

That's factually inaccurate.

11/9/01 We had something written down for this one, but we've forgotten what it was.


That's just disrespectful.

Peter Cashmore, the guy who wrote the article is a prick. Also, Britney Spears was way too prominent on this list. Hey Cashmore, got a crush you idiotic bastard?

I have demos of the full record here somewhere. The one song i've bothered to listen to sounds like there's about 15 too many things going on at once.

GNR actually sounded like a band.

You'd only be a pendantic twerp if you insisted that there was some sort of fundamental difference between 1999 and 2000 (or 2000 and 2001) simply because of a nice round number on the Gregorian calendar.

/seriously, fark numerology

I was kinda hoping that Hu Jintao would suddenly call for free elections in China just to kill the irony of the album title.
