Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[ThaPrez]

oh yes, the carling cup... the last refuge of the geriatric scottish fukk who realises that he has assembled a squad so shyt that it is incapable of achieving anything more meaningful than victory in the least significant trophy in the domestic game.

would rather try, and fail, to win everything else than face the ignominy of going all out for the carling cup.

then again, liverpool don't have to worry about the league, champions league, champions league qualification for next year and most likely the FA cup either anymore, so could be worth a go.

Arsenal need to be taking th Capital One cup very seriously.

Good tip.

 

[thatrapsfan]

if you hadn't heard of the milk/rumbelows/coca cola/worthington cup, then yeah, it might be.

Milk cup? Wasn't even alive then, too young to remember the Rumbelows either. Quite sure the Carling sponsorship was the longest out of any.

Serge Gnabry is gonna be a problem.

Just got back from seeing Looper tonight. Its a thrilling movie, its an interesting plot, well acted. ONly unbelievable parts were Bruce Willis going superman, but I dug it. But it made me feel weird at the end.

So I'm just now finding about Guns and Roses' November Rain. Yeah, like 20 years later. They tried that epic rock shyt and it blew up in their face.

I always love when popular artists (the ones I don't listen to) get that ego all blown up and they pull that move that becomes the start of their ending. You gotta have someone you trust in the studio to tell you , that shyt is trash.

the whole album Axel tried to go next level, it didnt work (well it sold records, I remember that album being huge) but it didnt work.

IN saying that Don't Cry is kind of piff

Use Your Illusion was Axel biting off more than he could chew fa sho. dude wanted so badly to differentiate himself from motley crue, he put on icarus wings and got burned by elton john's sun.

now no one takes him seriously, he coulda risen to overrated hero status a la jim morrison, instead our lasting image is http://guitarbassman.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/axl-rose-mtv-awards.jpg

his star power would have appreciated a heroin overdose

he out there playing the piano and shyt, aint nobody got time for that


yeah, a drug overdose would have made Axel the greatest front man ever


But Guns N Roses were the last mega band before Grunge shytted on them. Even still, GnR were still pretty popular and they were better than most of the other head bands, imo.

They were so fukking huge in the early 90s tho. fukking huge.



edit: Use Your Illusion I and II sold 40 million copies worldwide


even Chinese Democracy, 15 years later sold 5 million.

 

[dennis roadman]

chinese democ came out 4 years ago?

had to wiki that one

so slash, who is both an english immigrant and half black, was tapdancin for axl like ionnoknowhat

Police and ******s, that's right
Get outta my way
Don't need to buy none of your
Gold chains today
Now don't need no bracelets
Clamped in front of my back
Just need my ticket 'till then
Won't you cut me some slack

plus he fukked the drummer's girl for sex noises on a song

dude had mind control over his bandmates

 

[mastermind]

I had no idea Chinese Democracy actually came out until I googled.


And yeah, Axel is a nutjob for that. Thats why all of them threw him in the bushes afterwards. Slash is a Tom for that tho

 

[dennis roadman]

i just think its hilarious he decided to lump in cops and black folk in a single bar

 

[mastermind]

cuz he is a fukking idiot


GnR were like the last Rock Star types. After them, acts became stale and corporate.


Rappers are more of what the old Rock Stars were.

It's true. The only 90's rock star who relished being in the public eye was Courtney Love, and that was because she killed Kurt Cobain of her husband's suicide, not her music. Nobody knows any Hole songs.

EDIT: And Hootie from Hootie and the Blowfish. Because he was like the safest negro to walk the Earth before Wayne Brady came along.

pete doherty held the crown for a good minute. never got big stateside tho. charlie sheen was just reading pete's notes when he went on that binge a few years back

i think most musicians just got tired of the same ol rock star shyt. like how every rapper was pushing coke in the early 2000s, now they're all fashionistas. it becomes corporatized, but its usually a genuine backlash at the start.
