Is Axl really under the delusion that GNR is an "active" band and that the current line up should be considered as the recipients of a god damn hall of fame induction????
While I appreciate he needed some time to produce felt and do some collab projects...I am so incredibly happy to have just plain ol' solo MC Ace Rizzle back in action.
As one of the two musicians I genuinely can't stand as both a human being AND a performer (Bono being the other), this is AMAZING news. The reason people don't hate Bob Dylan, or Iron Maiden, or Billy Joel or any other once gigantic groundbreaking artist that people don't currently hate is because they have made conscious efforts for no new material to be relevant in any way, shape, or form. Madonna, why haven't you been able to grasp this concept at any point in the last 15 years...

Her mom was my history teacher and they kind of have the same face...I keep thinking my American History teacher is being written about on Stereogum...weird.
If by the singer, you mean Jack White, and if by other bands you mean, The Raconteurs, Dead Weather, and a collaboration with ICP, then yes...the singer will be back in a new band, better is subjective
Lifelover (heavily under-rated band that combined black metal with traditional piano playing), Skinless, The Bled, God Dethroned, Jag Panzer, and Dismember as well
Haunting the Chapel is definately missed. Just a theme I noticed on the site in general, being someone who listens to most genres and but "metal" more than most, I enjoy how this site kind of covers everything as opposed to the Deciblog or Invisible Oranges.
Xasthur (technically announced last year but I believe were still active into January) and Maruta (grindcore doesn't seem to be the target demo on this site though) were probably the big two...and Fear Before (the March of Flames) if we are including bands like Alexisonfire.
@Scott I respect how well this site covers metal bands when it chooses too, but I'm confused by the inconsistency in which it does so. This site covers a lot of metal, particularly black metal, but then it always seems absent from articles which are not specifically "metal" articles, like your top 50 most anticipated or videos of bands that broke up.
Not bashing, just curious, is it just that you cover them because you respect it as a musical genre and think it deserves coverage, or do you just not feel they are as good as these other bands? Once again, just curious.
