Yare-yare...
"When you're talkin to yourself
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone
(Alone)
So nobody ever told you baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
ONE, TWO
Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much too young
To let love break my heart
Young at heart but it's getting much too late
To find ourselves so far apart
I don't know how you're s'posed
To find me lately
An what more could tou ask from me
How could you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me
Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out
Still talkin' to myself
and nobody's home
(Alone)
So nobody ever told us baby
How it was gonna be
So what'll happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see
When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
Got your head out of the clouds
You're back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
An you don't walk so proud
Any more, and what for
Well I jumped into the river
Too many times to make it home
I'm out here on my own, an drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything We've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die
I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time- Oh this time
Without you
I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my friends said I was high
But everything we've ever known's here
I never wanted it to die"
And nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone

Разрази меня ром!
Сольный проект бывшего гитариста Guns N’Roses и нынешнего предводителя Velvet Revolver Слэша начинает обретать четкие формы. Согласно информации, которой поделилась недавно супруга рокера Перла Хадсон, к участию в записи дебютной сольной пластинки Слэша привлечены сразу несколько звезд мировой величины – в том числе, патриарх тяжелой музыки Оззи Осборн (Ozzy Osbourne) и вокалистка Black Eyed Peas Ферги.
«Этот проект можно описать как «Слэш и его друзья», поскольку в записи примет участие множество самых разных музыкантов – коллег и просто приятелей Слэша, - говорит Перла. – Навскидку могу назвать пару имен – среди них будут Оззи и Ферги. О других узнаете позже».
Напомним, что Слэш сообщил о начале работы над своим сольным проектом еще несколько месяцев назад, после того как Velvet Revolver лишились вокалиста Скотта Вейланда и у музыкантов появилось уйма ничем не занятого рабочего времени. По словам Слэша, идея выпуска сольной пластинки у него появилась уже давно, однако приступить к осуществлению своего замысла он смог лишь теперь.
В настоящее время музыкант не может сообщить, когда его поклонникам стоит ожидать альбом на прилавках музыкальных магазинов. Тем не менее, признает, что ему придется поспешить, поскольку Velvet Revolver также бьют копытом в стойле и требуют присутствия в их жизни Слэша – хотя бы в качестве эксперта по отбору нового вокалиста для группы. Музыканты уже прослушали более двух тысяч присланных им демок, однако подходящей кандидатуры на место Вейланда пока не подобрали.

Разрази меня ром!
Бывший бас-гитарист Guns N' Roses Даф МакКеген (Duff McKagan) стал корреспондентом журнала Playboy. Музыкант будет вести финансовую колонку на сайте издания. Гитарист с рвением взялся за новую работу, обещая быть «неподкупным голосом народа» и выводить на чистую воду ребят из Вол-стрит. Для МакКеґена это уже не первая проба пэра — он ведет блог на сайте издания Seattle Weekly, где, кстати, колумнистом также работает прежний бас-гитарист Nirvana Крис Новоселик (Krist Novoselic).
My name is Duff McKagan. By way of introduction, I play rock & roll music as a profession and have been fortunate enough to have been a founding member of both Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver. I’m not tooting my own horn here, just letting you people know who I am. The beer on The Simpsons was named after me and not the opposite. You see, I was also known to be a big drinker.
Playboy has asked me to pen a weekly column on finance. This first piece will serve as sort of “mission statement” to inform you of what to expect from now until they fire me. You may be asking yourself at this point, “What the hell does this dude know about money?” Well, here is a quick version of my story:
I got sober in 1994. I suddenly found that I had a ton of time on my hands—bars and drug runs are very time-consuming passions. I found a file cabinet in my basement that held all of my GN’R financial statements from the previous six years. I began to try to make sense of these. The problem was, they weren’t written for the common person to read, and perhaps they were even meant to mislead a typical over-busy rock guy. I was 30 years old and didn’t know what any of the technical terms meant. I didn’t know what a financial “vehicle” or a “bond” (tax-free or otherwise) was, never mind the inverse relationship of supply and demand! I enrolled in a class at Santa Monica College the very next week, and it was there that I found my calling and—don’t laugh—my love of academia.
As an aside: From my experience, once you are pegged as a “rock guy,” people just assume that you are either brain-dead or off high-flying on a private jet with hookers and cocaine. While I have definitely been guilty of both of the aforementioned clichés, my life these days is just kind of simple and book-filled. Yes, I still tour and make records, but I am much more informed and therefore involved in the everyday commerce that is the music business. My business.
From my short stint at SMCC, I moved back home to Seattle and got myself into the Albers School of Business at Seattle University. Suddenly, the world of finance became a living and fascinating thing for me. I found that I could apply lessons from class immediately to my work in the music business. The more word got around that I was serious about getting my degree in finance, the more serious I was taken in business meetings. I do think that there was, in a sense, fear that one of the “rock guys” was going to knock down the house of cards that is the record business. Cool shit.
As soon as Velvet Revolver started in 2004, all kinds of financial media wanted to talk money with me. From the Wall Street Journal to Neil Cavuto, PBS’s Frontline to Greta Von Susteren, everyone seemed to come to me as the voice of business from within the music industry. Pretty surreal.
Now, on to my mission statement. Initially, I think that this column should serve two purposes:
1) To educate
2) To bring down The Man
As for the first point, when I stated before that I found myself at 30 not really knowing which way was up as far as financial terminology and complexities went, I also found that I was not alone. I know that I was too embarrassed to actually cop to the fact that I was in the dark when it came to finance. I think this rings true for most of us. Unless you are a CPA, lawyer, or stockbroker, why would you know much about what they are talking about on the financial news? Those boneheads on TV just want to make themselves come off as smart anyway…hoping to maybe score some pussy that they didn’t get in their youth! I hope to shed some no-nonsense light on day-to-day money issues. In these days of financial woe, we can all use a little help.
And as for the second one, I am sick and tired of hearing of these Wall Street assholes getting huge bonus packages from our bailout tax dollars. What a lot of these people did to all of us in the first place is just plain criminal. I have never been keen on executives getting golden parachutes; I’m more apt to give them a golden shower. I will do my best to expose frauds and criminals, one at a time. Care to join?
I also look forward to comments from readers to let me know how I am doing and whether there are directions you would like me to take. Until next week.

Разрази меня ром!
Аксель Роуз пригласил в коллектив нового гитариста.
Как сообщается на официальном сайте Guns N'Roses, новым участником группы стал DJ Ashba (настоящее имя - Дарен Джей Ашба), известный по участию в хард-роковых проектах Sixx:A.M. и Beautiful Creatures. Кроме того, Ашба является соавтором и продюсером последнего альбома Motley Crue "Saints of Los Angeles".
В Guns N'Roses Ашба заменит Робина Финка, который в настоящее время выступает в составе Nine Inch Nails.
Приглашение DJ Ashba в группу может свидетельствовать о скором концертном туре Guns N'Roses в поддержку альбома "Chinese Democracy". Ранее появлялась информация, что коллектив отправится в длительные гастроли летом 2009 года, однако она до сих пор официально не подтверждена.
После распада "золотого" состава Guns N'Roses и ухода из группы Слэша в коллективе сменилось около десятка гитаристов, включая Гилби Кларка, Бакетхэда, Ричарда Фортуса и Бамблфута.

Первая версия песни (оригинальная).
"Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby
And don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight"
Вторая версия (альтернативная).
"If we could see tomorrow
What of your plans
No one can live in sorrow
Ask all your friends
Times that you took in stride
They're back in demand
I was the one who's washing
Blood off your hands
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
I know the things you wanted
They're not what you have
With all the people talkin'
It's drivin' you mad
If I was standin' by you
How would you feel
Knowing your love's decided
And all love is real
An don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight
I thought I could live in your world
As years all went by
With all the voices I've heard
Something has died
And when you're in need of someone
My heart won't deny you
So many seem so lonely
With no one left to cry to baby
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry

Разрази меня ром!
Слэш опубликовал на своей странице в социальной сети MySpace список величайших по его мнению риффов рок-н-ролла.
Список "Величайших риффов рок-н-ролла" по Слэшу выглядит так:
"Supersition" - Jeff Beck, Appice & Bogert
"Sunshine of Your Love" - Cream
"Bitch" - The Rolling Stones
"Dolly Dagger" - Jimi Hendrix
"The Day I Tried to Live" - Soundgarden
"Fight From the Inside" - Queen
"Freeway Jam" - Jeff Beck
"Come Dancing" - Jeff Beck
"Purple Haze" - Jimi Hendrix
"Rock Bottom" - UFO
"Walk This Way" - Aerosmith
"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" - Black Sabbath
"Back in the Saddle" - Aerosmith
Таким образом, в списке лидирует британский гитарист Джефф Бек, бывший участник The Yardbirds, начавший впоследствии успешную сольную карьеру. Все три песни из репертуара Бека, оцененные Слэшем, представляют собой кавер-версии: автором "Supersition" является Стиви Уандер, "Freeway Jam" - Макс Миддлтон, "Come Dancing" - Нарада Уолден. Джими Хендрикс и Aerosmith представлены двумя композициями.
Все исполнители, вошедшие в список, за исключением Soundgarden начали свою карьеру в 1960-х - начале 1970-х годов.
Несмотря на то, что страница Слэша на MySpace зарегистрирована 9 октября 2008 года, первая запись была сделана музыкантом только 9 февраля 2009 года. Как заверил Слэш, теперь он постарается регулярно обновлять свою страницу.

Yare-yare...
"I'm a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I'll rip
your heart in two
An I'll leave you lyin' on the bed
I'll be out the door before ya wake
It's nuthin' new ta you
'Cause I think we've seen that movie too
'Cause you could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine
Now holidays come and then they go
It's nothin' new today
Collect another memory
When I come home late at night
Don't ask me where I've been
Just count your stars
I'm home again
'Cause you could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine
You've gone sketchin' too many times
Why don't ya give it a rest
Why
Must you find
Another reason to cry
While you're breakin' down my back n' I been rackin' out my brain
It don't matter how we make it
'Cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage
But your flaps r' wearin' thin
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
But this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers
With ridiculous demands
An you can take the pity so far
But it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
Tell me how long has it been
'Cause 5 years is forever
An you haven't grown up yet
You could be mine
But you're way out of line
With your bitch slap rappin'
And your cocaine tongue
You get nuthin' done
I said you could be mine
You should be
You could be mine
Yeah!"
Fit ta burn and I'll rip

Разрази меня ром!
Слэш выступил против запрета курения в Великобритании, сообщает Yahoo! Music.
Новый закон, касающийся курения, вступил в действие на территории Великобритании 1 июля 2007 года. Согласно этому акту, курить запрещается в закрытых общественных местах, включая офисы, бары, рестораны, клубы и крытые стадионы.
"Я буду курить вопреки закону, если только не соберусь совсем завязать с табаком. Я готов заплатить 50 фунтов за то, чтобы покурить в свое удовольствие. Не могу себе представить полуторачасовой концерт без единой затяжки", - заявил Слэш.

Разрази меня ром!
Metallica рассматривает устроить супер-тур с Guns N' Roses - после возвращения группы с альбомом Chinese Democracy.
Ударник Ларс Ульрих (Lars Ulrich) допускает возможность совместного тура с легендарной группой Эксла Роуза. Он говорит, "Мы дорожные собаки. Мы любим концертные туры. Так что мы никогда не скажем, нет. Вся группа Metallica любит Китайскую Демократию."
Но гитарист Кирк Хамметт (Kirk Hammett) говорит, что предложение от рокеров ещё не поступало.

Yare-yare...
"It don't really matter
You'll find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
You're gonna leave these thing to
Somebody else
If they missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-infatu-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong*
They've seen the end and you can't hold on now
Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To stop the fascination
Even with an iron fist
Our baby got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time
It don't really matter
You're gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear now from
Somebody else
Cause it would take a lot more time than you
I've got more masturbation
Even with your iron fist
Our baby got to rule the nation but all I got is
Precious time
Our baby got to rule the nation but all I got is
Precious time
It don't really matter
Gonna keep it to myself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from
Somebody else
You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat them all up they'll die
Then you'll walk them home for the cells
Then now you'll dig for your road back to hell
And with your ? makes you stop
As if your eyes were their eyes you can tell
In your lack of time"
