Can you imagine how much better he’d have been received if this Axl had shown up at the VMAs?
This was the moment to pull the trigger. New GNR never had more cohesion or character than here. Yes they were "freaks" but in a good way. It doesn't matter it wasn't classic GNR look. That's the point. Burn the past, burn the boats, take the island.
I love 2006 too but that's the 2nd or 3rd album at that point. 2001-2002 was still in the post-millenium funk vibe.
Who could have imagined we’d get here.
"Perhaps" and the video feels like an epitaph in many ways, tbh.

Evaders clip with some overdubs. Pretty funny and actually somewhat inspired though.
I hope this song is good. And comes out soon. Probably won't but I'm allowed to be impatient.

Anyone here bake bread, make pie crust, or make pizzas?
I'm terrible with them and intimidated to dig in and practice.
Kombucha brewing will be next and doing some sourdough for family is after that.

This fanbase is talking new album again?

Waters also refused to bill himself as founding member of Pink Floyd, etc. in a time where cult of personality was far less ubiquitous than it was today. And like Axl, he went against the corporate machine to do his own thing and that will never work out for you.

“We’re clearing things out — priming the pumps for things that have been around that we wanna get out and release before releasing new music,” he says.

Steven gave the songs their life. A swing for the sex appeal but high energy, fast paced, and bouncy.
It was starting things off right and giving Izzy something to play against.

If I'm Axl, I humble out, and do the above. It's basically the politican move of pleasing everyone.
And then from there, I work with Buckethead as a studio musician. Think the instrumental of "Sorry" with ideas from "Civil War" and the sample-heavy style of DJ Shadow. It's creative, it conserves his voice, and allows him to stay in the game. He *could* do this. But I think he's too addicted to fame and having his belly rubbed.
I don't begrudge him retiring peacefully after a troubled life and career. But he left a lot, a lot, a lot on the field, and that's disappointing as a fan of his. But at the end of the day, those are the musings of a cowboy still looking for his moment in the sun, not one ready to hang up his spurs.

Terrible news, RIP.

If I’m booking a farewell tour it will include Izzy and Steven but also Robin, Brain, and Buckethead.
Just throw a bone to everyone and charge what you want. Record the soundboards and release the multitracks so we can at least have Buckethead playing TWAT once and Robin playing Better.
I would also hold back the strongest single or two so I don’t really agree with James. We might be getting a 4-song EP now and another 4-song EP later. I think the discography officially closes with Chinese Democracy in 2008.
