The htgth fb page posted a link to the Bridge School Benefit fb page where it says the stream is $5.

Not sure if that's per day, or if they lowered the price or whatever but even cheaper is cool by me.

I hope some sort of tentative schedule is up on Saturday as I've got kind of a busy Saturday and I wanna try to catch GN'R and Jack White.

Kind of Implies Axl's not entirely happy with what he has recorded, don't you think? Otherwise why would he want more input?

I don't see it that way at all.  I see it in the same light as BBF adding his flair to Chinese Democracy, or Frank adding his.  It's about wanting the guys currently in the band to have their input and make a contribution to material already written and/or recorded.

No disrespect to Bumble or Frank I think this was a mistake.

If the song is strong, and existing contributions are good, leave it alone! Especially if it has already been through multiple iterations, mixing etc.

That's why I can't understand why they didn't do something with just some of these tracks over the last 4 years - b-sides, standalone singles, eps etc. Unless they're maybe just not as great as we were led to believe.

I prefer the idea of a CD re-release as a double album, accompanied by a completely new album shortly after, fresh tracks written by the band today. Let DJ, Fortus and Bumble loose without any previous influence.

If Tommy has contractual obligation to GN'R, it really doesn't matter what Paul wants.  It's not like Paul has the power to void Tommy's obligations to GN'R.

What a band!  Only a top notch outfit would hold people to contractual obligations. 

You act as though nobody ever quit before...there's a pretty long list that has.

This.

And the same has been said about Robin, prior and shortly after the album release.

That would certainly lead him out of GN'R. Paul has a bigger ego than Axl and wouldn't want to "share" his buddy.

Perhaps that's the opening sequence of Duff rejoining.

I can see what you mean.

6 years ago there was no dvds, no website, no streaming, tours were more questionable, no tv interviews and stuff....while this stuff is all sort of expected it does seem that they're finally functioning more like a professional unit.

I think Axl's still got a few great songs left in him too. So it does give me some hope.
