I found this funny. Slash return to his roots? He's been playing the same thing for 20 years! Matt definitely needs to go, you're absolutely correct there. In fact, I wouldn't mind if I never hear or see anything from him again.

Haha, so I'm going to Vegas this past weekend, and with a group of neighbors & friends etc. They kindof do the Vegas thing a little wrong (staying in our casino alot, not venturing out, falling for overpriced "VIP' bullshit)... and I realize this isn't really my thing. Late at night, I think Friday, I use the hotel pc in the  lobby to log on to the site & pm the infamous JimBob, located in Vegas. He gives a call Saturday & gives a ton of advice, just do your own thing, visit as many places as you can, hit alot of slots & just roam around etc. A) JimBob, thanks a ton for the advice. I did more the AFTERNOON you called, than the rest of the weekend (Walked the strip, saw the Bellagio Fountain show, Treasure Island etc). B) We figured we'd meet up & grab a drink at the Hard Rock. I gotta say, JimBob's a cool guy. Alot more laid back than I was expecting, only knowing him from his posts and the little I knew about him.  We talked a bit, saw Slash's guitar out at the hard rock, and talked about how it is kinda wierd actually meeting someone from this board, almost surreal because your used to only reading each others posts. I think he said he met MikeGuliani from HTGTH & maybe 1 other poster before at a show.

Anyway, it was cool meeting up, just thought I'd write. Also, if anyone ever goes to Vegas, give him a ring. Oh, and also, don't pay for drinks, just gamble a few dollars at the slots for a little bit. Then cash out. Worked for me on the second part of my weekend. A little tidbit from Jimbob I picked up on.

Later,
