Did I just read a rumor that they're rehearsing in Seattle, and Uncle Axl sang Fall To Pieces?

If they did that song live, as a tribute to Scott, my fucking heart would melt. Maybe this "hybrid lineup" is gonna bang out some VR/CD stuff?

This I Love with Slash for the fucking win.

As much as I love TIL (and I have good reasons to, ) I would like this lineup to play lots  of old GNR songs... That's what I expect from them.  I want to hear Slash play songs he worked on because I didn't have the opportunity to see the band in the good old days. Most of Appetite as well as some of UYI. I want to hear Estranged and Dead Horse and Locomotive (one of my favorites)... Get In The Ring! Bad Obsession! Dust n' Bones! There are so many of them. They really should do 4 hour shows,

Would you say he was wrong in his assessment of CD?

Tough question. While I definitely think there are more than three good songs on the album I can understand to an extent why he would say that. I also assume he was comparing the material to old GNR but he shouldn't have been expecting anything like that.

Scary thing about his assessment is he heard all the material at the time and wasn't judging just the songs we've heard. I do wish in hindsight that Axl had never asked him to take a look at it because that seems to have set some things into motion and none of it helped the project. It hit a brick wall. It led to Baker's involvement if I have the timeline correct.
