hello ppl, i need help. (well thats not half obvious...lol) apart from that, im looking for a book full of short stories called the language of fear by del james.

the reason behind this is the guns'n'roses songs november rain and dont cry are based on stories in that book and i want to know what the story is with november rain, i want to know how she dies.

if anyone has the book that i can borrow or knows how to download it off the net or buy it cheap can u let me know, from what i have seen the book is 60 dollars plus and i cant really afford it right now.

thanx heaps. rolleyes.gif

you can join this site and contact a person with this book and see if they are willing to send it to you. I would recommend trying a person who has the book as to be read or available...Permenant collection normally means not for loan...

Have you tried the library?
shagsalotr
no i havent tried it yet, i just started my search today, i thought about that afterwards tho. ill have to head out there on monday to have a look. its too expensive to buy off the net and no book stores that i can find in adelaide have it. thanx for the help

shagsalot.. u got good taste in music.. ive also wondered the storys behind the songs.

those two are a couple of my favve gunners songs..

might crank some gunners now!


if u find the sotry can u please let me know aswell??
shagsalotr
sure thing, i might even have to put some money aside for it, if i get a copy of it ill make sure u get to read it too.
DeLr
just put on the tunes... hmm civil war has to be one of my favourites aswell...
shagsalotr
u know what album i liked, apetite for destruction

here is something about novemeber rain.....now maybe im reading too much into this. but u know at the end where they are at the funeral and they are doing flash backs to when she throws the boquet and it turns red and lands on the coffin, then it rains and the red runs and the flowers are white. well im thinking that she dies pretty close to the wedding that they just dyed the boquet red and thats why it runs.....something like that, if u get what im saying
DeLr
apetite for destruction and loose/use ur illusion 1 and 2 ... hmm brings back the memories..crankn the beats in the v8 commdoore... huge partys and fires on the beach...

hmmm unsure of your thoughst '' just dying it" yeah it would work for the clip but the symbolism behind it ... ivekinda thought of return to white would symbolise a re birth..

after a good rain the earth is washed clean it is a rebirth of a sort...

hmm must watch the clip again i think... when im uncapped i shall download a clip from some where..
shagsalotr
lime wire has the full film clip. i was trying to think of the word symbolize but i couldnt think of it, but thats where i was going with the whole dying it thing. i just want to read the story, im sure that will tell us what the deal is with everything.
DeLr
i use bearshare if that fails ill get lime wire..

seems kinda funny.. discussing teh symbolism of a rock song on a dance forum wink.gif
shagsalotr
it does......lol but thats cool. u going to one of oct 2nd? joker4 got me those free ticket things and me and my other half are going cause its his bday. have to get a few dance classes in, im a bit rusty
DeLr
yeah im going smile.gif seven of Gaff is a mate.. he lined me up some VIP codes so i scored name on door... i know simon aswell, tho not well, thru cruising and freinds of freinds

my bday on the 19th couple weeks later.

look at your young men fighting..
look at your women crying..
look at your young men dying
the way they've always done before...

look at hate we're breeding
look at the fear we're feeding
look at the lives we're leading
the way weve always done before

hmm this song needs a rebirth i think.. so much in this can be used now in our current global situation not as much cival war.. but on a global side of things...



shagsalotr
i think ppl need to listem to some song words more but they dont they love a song and some of the words are really bad but thet dont even notice. i loved matchbox 20 madseaon cd, that album helped me get over a break up. simon has been a mate of mine for over 5years now. we have been thro some pretty funny stuff together, we used to go to chemistry together with a group of friends. not as close as we used to be but we still mates, he gave me those code things too.
DeLr
yesterday....live and let die...


hmm some good songs

yes music has a huge influence on my life. so many times in my life ive had nothingbutmusic draw me thru. it can really change your life at times

BACK COVER:
A mother is a junkie. A businessman is a 900-number addict. A teenager is a suicide. In the streets, in the schools, acts of kindness are few; depravity rules. Now the stories can be told. About a heavy metal dreamer locked in a savage war with his television set. About a married man who is about to murder his wife on the command of a dial-a-porn hooker. About a rock and roll star who yearns to be with the one good woman he has ever known-and so ignites a blaze of mad destruction. In stories reminiscent of the early works of Clive Barker, Del Jame has unleashed an extraordinary collection of snapshots from hell--our hell. In an avalanche of violence, in a whirlwind of human frailty smashed into savagery--here are cannibals and suicides, snipers and warriors, all caught up in their terrible urges, all sharing the universal language of fear.
