He's gone. This fucking sucks.

One thing we are finding out is Russia’s military with the exception of nukes is trash and now we must must question how efficient their nuke stockpile is. Half are probably duds. What an embarrassment for pooty poo
What's surprised isn't the quality of the equipment. Some is a bit dated but it seems largely good and effective. It's the incompetence of it's deployment and use alongside their apparent disorganisation. And that's a personnel and internal culture problem for the Russian military and state, no amount of fancy kit fixes that.

I've been shocked at the media pundit class and those in the centre (both right and left) calling for direct intervention or no fly zones and how they don't realise the risk (WW3/Nuclear war) and don't recognise that from a military point of view it's completely unnecessary.
Russia seem to be incapable of performing complex air operations and therefore are having to fly low. Meanwhile that country has been flooded with anti air weapons for weeks and months now. Their planes are flying low and getting taken out by farmers and volunteers.
Let Russia sweat as this drags. This doesn't lead to any sort of victory for them now anyways.

Mitch for once could you engage in a conversation without being a shit stirring asshole.

Wow, not as good as Frank? Is there a worse insult for a drummer?
Not really. Frank ultimately is a very solid and competent session drummer, same as Fortus. On a technical level they are a lot more reliable than some ex GN'R members like Adler.
Issue is they sound a bit robotic and flat at times, whereas Steven's looseness is what gives him that style he has when playing the AFD songs. But flipside is these guys can reliably play a set of 20-25 songs on a 176 date tour and play them the exact same way with little to no mistakes every time.

There's only a few things I want left from this band.
1) A new album. I'd prefer the reheated Chinese leftovers, if only so that we can finally hear them all. It looks like that's what we're getting and that's good because it may be the only way we ever hear those songs.
2) A single show where they play most of these "new" songs, some deep cuts from UYI and CD, Axl decides/manages to turn it on vocally one last time and the whole thing is captured proshot.
3) A full vault unload. After this album if there's no new songs in the pipeline then unload the CD vault and let fans buy the different iterations of his Chinese trilogy. Even the cursed Ashba versions that probably exist.
I'm only confident we're getting 1), maybe we get 3) one day. Anything more than this, like them actually writing new music together would be an insane bonus that i can't see happening now. There's also the question of whether it would be any good.

1.It was redone in 2006 along with the BBF Silkworms. Absurd is basically the BBF Silkworms with a couple of Slash licks pasted in, so it's something they could do without much work.
2.It was on the leaked 2008 CD 2 list.
3.There was a glimpse from a soundcheck I think of a video behind had the band with lyrics from OMG, so this means the band have made a concert video for it.
On 3. on every show of the last your they had lyrics for OMG on the screen during YCBM.
4. Was on the setlist in 2018 as an alt.
5. Prior to RIR in 2011, it was soundchecked so was still kicking around then.

As Slash let us know, more new music is on the way in the coming months. “There is new material coming — everybody’s always asking. I would imagine that there will be one or two songs that come out around the time that we hit the road in June.”

I mean, logically it's going to be one of the more "finished" songs. Atlas Shrugged, Perhaps, or OMG.
We have no idea what's finished. We have a snapshot in time from 2000-2001 of some of what was around at the time - there could have been more even then. Since then there's been reports of recording all the way through 01-07 and then repoorts of further recording from 10-15.
My guess is Atlas but it's just a guess. Some won't think it counts as "more complex" but Abusrd and HS are really simple... almost anything is more complex than them.

The Jackie Chan theory was a logical one for fans to make based on the info they had. It was always just a guess though.
The General name relating to Tommy another sensible theory, he'd been described in interviews as the general of rehearsals.
It's not fans being idiots, just speculating and trying to read the tea leaves.
