Guns N Roses: Hollywood Rose E.P

While browsing through various torrents I happened to come across a torrent called Hollywood Rose Demo by Guns N Roses. I was thoroughly intrigued as I am a hard core GNR fan and decided to download the stuff. After all it was just 11MB so even if it turns out to be fake it wouldnt hurt...much.
So I downloaded the torrent and it was an EP. EP is usually a miniature of album having 3 to 5 songs and is limited edition with about 500 copies pressed. This one had 3 songs in it and I click started winamp to play Shadow of Love.I was greeted by a cool Rhythm Guitar riff and I thought "Cool! Even if its fake I could live with this." Then came a barrage of vocals unmistakebly Axl Rose's, though pretty fast for a GnR song to clear all doubts. The next two songs (My Way Your Way, Reckless Life) were also pretty fast but they too had a typical GnR touch to them. What I really found was that my boy Izzy Stradlin's rhythm Guitar was much more prominent than in later GnR songs and the lead is actually a bit subdued. No wonder its not Slash but Traci Gun.
The EP is a great work and it is not surprising that they found themselves with a recording contract from Geffen Records
sooner than later.
A download worth its wait in gold.

Scholarship!

Found this is Friday Five and liked it. 1. If you were to have a scholarship created in your honor, what qualities would you look for in applicants (leadership, service, GPA, etc.)? GPA is bullshit. People with high GPA can be both muggers and geniuses. There can be people with no real "definitive talent" having a high GPA. Also, some can be flatout arses with no regard for the society. I would never create a scholarship in terms of GPA. Service is paramount. IQ and EQ both are equally important. Abstract thought counts. Creativity would be a defining factor. Enthusiasm is a must. There will be personal interviews. 2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)? No discrimination except there would be a weightage given to economically disadvantaged. Their need would be greater than that of a well to do kid. 3. Would it be need-based or not? Why? Need-based is contentious. Whose need? Some may need the money ...

The End...

This is the final post in this blog. Nearly five years ago, I started this blog from an Internet Cafe. 5 years on, the blog has probably chronicled my state of being. The triumphs, losses, disappointments et al. All this while, I have been experimenting with lot of things and even tried to switch the blog multiple times. This time the switch is for real. I want a fresh start without the baggage. You could even say I am a little inspired by Up in the Air. I don't really have an ETA for a new blog. I could start posting today, tomorrow, or never. Go to: Idle thoughts and update your references. See you out there! Signing off with these words from Jim Morrison: This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's...
