The Weirdest Thing ... Ever?
I only caught two parts of the MTV awards last night -- one was Bruce Springsteen's performance of "The Rising" during a slight misting somewhere in New York, I'm assuming; the other was Guns n' Roses performance at the very end of the show as I walked out of my bedroom to hear what all the commotion was about. My dear, I couldn't believe my eyes. It looked like he had an old guitar player from Marilyn Manson's band playing the intro to "Welcome to the Jungle", some guy that looked like he wanted to be in the Mighty Mighty Bosstones at some point playing bass, some dude that looked like a sunnier version of Trent Reznor on second guitar, and a Slipknot reject named Buckethead on third (!?) guitar. What is this world coming to? How does this band get to call itself "Guns n' Roses"? It's not. We all know it's not. Guns n' Roses is Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin (or some replacement player), Duff McKagan, and some dude that doesn't do too many drugs on drums.

And let's just brush up on the fact that Axl couldn't have held a note last night if his life had depended on it. What the hell happened to his voice? Has he been sucking dick at a spiked dildo convention or some shit? He sounded terrible, almost like a 15 year old kid coming right up through the tough parts of puberty. Not to mention that he looked like he's had some sort of plastic surgery done, as well.

I don't know about you cats, but that was one of the strangest things I think I've seen in a long, long time. I couldn't reconcile the band with the fact that they were called Guns n' Roses. More like Dudes n' Rose. That's what they should be called. Dudes n' Rose.
