This is where I disagree.  While 5 O'clock had some decent songs, it NEVER even came close to AFD(And by the way they'll never come close to that album ever again).  ALG sucked and sucked again big time.  Again that is a matter of opinion.  I never said that Slash is not a guitar God anymore.  I said that is work since he left GNR has been less than stellar.  Would it have made a difference if Axl were involved in his songs post GNR?  Maybe then again maybe not.  Depends on what Axl could've added to those songs.  And remember while I won't imply that Scott Weiland is as talented as Axl he still couldn't make Slash's riffs better and if he did then they must've sucked big time before he added to them cause VR was a failure in my eyes.  There is no denying Slash's talent in playing guitar.  Again like I said maybe he needs to be inspired, maybe he is lazy.  I don't know.  Maybe he needs Axl, Izzy, Duff and Axl.  Maybe Axl needs those guys as well to make good music.  And if you don't believe me.  Get Guitar Hero 3 and play the guitar battle with Slash and listen to the music he wrote.  Then try the guitar battle with Joe Perry in Guitar Hero Aerosmith.  You'll see a huge difference.  Perry was way more inspired than Slash was.

Call it what you want but Vai fits the description.  I can't imagine he had that much power with David Lee Roth and Whitesnake.  Plus if what Stinson says is true.  When recording with Axl, Axl wants you to the songs and add in your touch and I think Vai could add some crazy good stuff with Axl's music.

That was the absolute greatest movie I have ever seen.  The ending bummed me out a bit but not enough to meake me get out of there complaining.  I agree about Maggie being extemely bad in this movie.

To end this.  I know there is going to be another one but I wish they would stop with this one.  Why?  Cause I can't see them topping The Dark Knight.  It can only go downhill from there.  Don't believe me.  Go watch Spidey 3 and you'll understand what I mean.

While I won't say that Bucket is better than Slash, I will say that since he left GNR Slash hasn't written anything that good.  I don't know if it's because he got lazy or lack of inspiration but he hasn't written anything that would come close to his GNR days since he left.

IF and that is an extremely huge if Bucket comes back, it doesn't mean Bumble is out.  Remember Robin is gone so Bumble takes Finck's place and Bucket his and Fortus keeps his same role.  Although I would make Bucket lead guitarist.
