Every now and then I get a little stab in the heart knowing I’ll never see Sabbath, Motörhead and a few others again. People I love dying is easier deal with, I believe I’ll see them again in the next world, but will there be a stage with Lemmy or Ozzy on it???? We thankfully still have The Stones.

Quotedcba QuotePaddy only GnR could have written Estranged. Slash's finest hour? The melody lines he brought to Axl's chords are simply exquisite. He really grew between AFD and UYI and he brought so much to the 1991 sessions that it was natural that he took control of the band. As much as I like Izzy his imput on the UYI albums was minimal. Estranged is definitely close to the b

I went a bit overboard on the last Sabbath tour and saw them in Canada, Ireland, England & Scotland. Really glad I did even though it tore a hole in the pocket. I’ve only seen Ozzy solo once, never really got into his solo stuff aside from a few tracks.

QuotePaintMonkeyManBlack Estranged is such a great song with great lyrics. It's the Midnight Rambler of GnR i guess. In the same way only the Stones could have written Rambler, only GnR could have written Estranged.

Quotedcba QuoteGasLightStreet There's some quote of Axl saying if November Rain isn't recorded correctly or perfectly he'd quit. Yeah it was very dear to him, he had the song in him since at least 1986. the funny irony is the born-in-the-studio "Estranged" is in fact a much better song (imho).

Though it’s a cover Not Fade Away, From Me to You is a little twee for me. I like the harmonica / guitar interaction on Not Fade Away, it’s simple but effective. This stones single makes me want to dance drunk more than the Beatles one!

One thing I would say re Vancouver and accommodation, it kinda doesn’t matter where you stay in the city. The skytrain and bus networks are insanely good, BC Place being one of the skytrain stops. It’s a very easy city to move around.
