Installing my new CD - DVD Burner « Result #1 on May 19, 2005, 7:02pm »
Hi everybody!
Well, I finally have a dvd burner! It can burn cds, as well as dvds. The only problem is that I am having one heck of a time installing it. I have had it since August 2004... and now it is May 2005. I am so bad, I know
I will bring my computer into the shop this summer. Hopefully I will be able to trade with all of you once again very soon. Until then, I am updating my website. I have a lot of silver discs to add.
Yeah, I guess one can say that I have been busy in these past few months

Re: Velvet Revolver, Anyone? « Result #3 on Jun 13, 2004, 6:13pm »
Finally got to see Velvet Revolver while out in San Francisco this past week on business (what timing). It was a sold out show at the Warfield, which is a cool place to see a show. Bought a ticket for 2X face value from a scalper, but I was just happy to be there! They played about 1 1/2 hours and the set list was identical to the one that I saw posted here (or was it on another site) with 4 classic GNR songs and 3 STP songs and a bunch of VR songs, with the album coming out THE NEXT DAY after the show. It was a decent show-- I thought Scott Weiland wasn't that great of an upgrade over Axl-- very tough to do those GNR songs and for him to NOT try to sound like Axl. Scott sure wobbles around even more than Axl ever did, which I found disturbing. He also sure loves his BULLHORN!! Slash really sounded GREAT as he always has. The band really looked HAPPY to be out there, which is a change I had noticed from GNR shows I'd been to "back in the day". A very good night, to say the least; glad I was able to get an opportunity to attend, since they aren't playing in Indianapolis on this leg/tour. -Big J

Hi there.
I picked this up at the GNR Bar. Fortus talked to a fan - Axl Democracy. I am just cutting and pasting, as it is an interesting read. Enjoy!!
We had a nice conversation. It wasnt me just pounding him with questions. We had a nice conversation and I was able to ask him the questions very natural.
I asked him if the album was done -he said it was all done and now "Axl is just going through all the legalities." Richard said nothing will probably happen (regarding single/album release/tour) until October.
I asked him about Buckethead and his response was that "no one really knows what is going on with Bucket." He said he was/is strange in a lot of ways -a lot of good ways and some bad. He said it is real hard sometimes to figure out what is on his mind. I didnt ask him about a replacement, but from what he said and how we left that topic off, there may be a chance Buckethead will come back.
We talked about the MSG show and he said he got the DVD sent to him by a fan (SlashisGod) and that he really enjoyed it. I pointed out that all the shows were being filmed professionally and asked why he couldnt get a pro-shot copy and he laughed and said "all that stuff is in the vaults." I talked to him about the first Vegas show and how amazing that was and that Axl needs to release that show on DVD. Fortus said he has only heard the great things about it and would love to see it himself. I joked with him to ask Axl to hook him up with a screening.
He said the MSG show was amazing to play and we talked a bit about how unfortunate it was that it turned out to the last gig of the tour -just when the band really seemed to be hitting their groove live. I didnt ask him exactly what happened in Philly, but he did mention meeting someone earlier in the night who was at Philly and wanted him to sign his ticket stub. Fortus said he kindly refused -he felt ackward doing that. I told him about Vancouver and showed him my ticket stub. He said "Oh man I am so sorry." We talked about Vancouver for a bit.
I asked about the rest of the members of the band and how their spirits were. He said everyone else was doing well and were in good spirits considering what had happened in the past two months with Bhead's departure and the canceled appearance at Lisbon. He said everyone was really looking forward to playing the show, and were really disappointed they had to cancel -especially RObin.
We talked about RObin's web site for a bit and Richard really loves it.
Richard said he (Richard) may be playing some solo shows this summer and Brain may join him for a few gigs. I assume from that statement that Brain is still in the band.
He talked about Tommy releasing an album this summer as well.
I finally asked him if he was at the VR show to go back and report to Axl. He laughed and said "I dont think he would want to hear about it." He said he had not spoken to Axl in a couple of months. I mentioned Duff and Slash's lawsuit and how I didnt agree with that, and he said "Yeah that is strange" but didnt talk much more about it. I told him I was the one who called in to Howard Stern to defend Axl and he said "that's cool man, I'm sure he appreciates that."
We talked some more about the VR show and he really enjoyed it.
I then thanked him for his time and told him it was great to meet him. I took a pic with him and shook his hand goodbye. He left with his girlfriend and I wonder if Slash and Duff would have showed up to the after show if he would have spoken to them. I dont think Slash would know who he was -cause apparently he never saw the MTV performance.
Duff would most likely have recognized him. Not sure what they would have had to say to each other though. But it would have been interesting.
Anyway, Richard is such a sweet and down to earth guy. What a pleasure to meet and talk with him. I told him I really hope to see him in October or by the end of the year with G N' R...either in New York or from what he told me earlier....somewhere else familiar.
