I had no idea who David was before this tour. I did think it was weird, and the Pete Best analogy is pretty similar to what I thought. Like the Beach Boys were just trying to find any tie to their legacy to replace Dennis and Carl. But now that I've actually looked it up, its perfectly reasonable he's there, and obviously since he knew Dennis and Carl early on, it seems he's a fitt

QuoteJah Paul Quotedonvis I bought a ticket to the Vegas show but I have to admit I'm not fond of medleys. Does anyone know how many medleys they did? I don't think they're doing a lot of medleys, even though one reviewer mentioned them (not trusting reviewers right now!). Years ago (when Carl was still around), they used to do a "car song" medley, but that was it. Br

Amazing setlist for San Jose. No tour premieres I don't think, but possibly my favorite setlist so far. Only suggestion I would have had was switching out Shackled and Drawn for Easy Money just because I like the latter alittle better.

Yeah, but one of those is from 37 years ago. Clearly he matured. The other guy, is from a few months ago. One of these pictures is sad, and one was just the 70s. And I'm a KISS fan.

Quotetreaclefingers I quite like Bruce Springsteen, even having just bought his Live 75-85 5 album set from a record fair. Even still, haven't been interested in seeing him live...I just can't explain my indifference. I would get as cheap a ticket as you can find. If you like his live album and music, its a whole other experience live that just can't be put into words.

Quotetreaclefingers I have a question, I haven't even heard any of Chinese Democracy. How would it compare to their nearest competitor, say, Velvet Revolver. I thought they weren't too bad all. Personally, I thought Velvet Revolver's first album, Contraband, was fantastic. Only 2 songs or so I didn't like that much and a ton I REALLY enjoyed. Their second effort was a bit

Wether it was successful or not, I will stand by Chinese Democracy. I'm nowhere near an Axl fanboy, and I fully consider Chinese Democracy an Axl Rose solo album, and for what it is I think its very good. Nothing groundbreaking or near the level of old Guns stuff, but I seriously like about 8 out of the 14 songs on there. I wasn't call it as much of a bomb as people did. When I saw &quo

Our band shared a rehearsal space in the same SF Valley wherehouse back before these guys hit and I can confirm that they were party animals. Some of the memories I am not likely to recall willingly. Oh come on. You can't bring that up and then not elaborate.

QuoteMathijs Why wasn't Izzy present? Mathijs Izzy just didn't show up. He wasn't being a dick or anything. These public awards things just aren't his cup of tea and never have been.

Very creepy. But this also just completely proves how there are just weird things that happen by coincidence, ie. with those Paul is Dead clues. Although I do remember being obsessed with them at one time.

QuoteMathijs It wasn't really unexpected, isn't it. Axl to date is seclusive and generally avoids being in public outside the stage. And he really believes he is touring with a fabulous band, you can't expect him to accept the honours and in a way admit that all his fame and fortune is based on that version of the band. Mathijs I agree, its not that unexpected. And as a fan, I r
