I'm sorry to say it but this is GREAT news. He's arguably the worst drummer the band has had and he's been standing in the way of a Matt/Brain reunion.

Hope it's Brain for the skill and Matt for the personality.

Sorry Frank.

Love this iteration of the band. Sound quality does appear to be better.

Incredible how this was hidden for so many years.

Honestly Axl Rose might be the only person in the world where I can not make a shred of sense of his thinking.

Slash, Duff we can understand. GN'R is a huge gig, lots of money, big crowds. Free to do whatever they want on the side. A great situation for the both of them.

And then you have Axl. Never liked touring much, don't like cameras, once said he hated living off Appetite for Destruction. What does he do? He goes on a 9 year nostalgia tour playing Welcome to the Jungle every night. His old pals are back in the band, both the media and the public are warming up to him and he could probably release an album with Slash & Duff to great reviews and adulation. Basically everything he's been trying to achieve for the last 25 years. Yet he just sits on his ass with no discernible ambition. Judging by interviews he has not spent as much as 1 second working on new material for over 2 decades. But he did the AC/DC thing like he was a kid again.

Yeah, makes sense. I remember we saw him live in 2006, and already back then we were incredulous at the idea of him performing. To our surprise he came out and killed it. Maybe I'm not giving him a enough credit, but 20 years is a lot. Hopefully he keeps his dignity.

Thanks man.

Sounds like it's basically how it's always been. The band goes in the studio and lays down tracks, then they send it to Axl for him to mull over. Everybody just waiting for him to lay down some vocals.
