The single is nearing a month out in the wild...IF CD is the video, we needed it about 2 weeks go.

Polluxlm, that was a tremendous effort on your part.  Haven't heard the song yet, don't want to, but, in my eyes, there's apparently not too many other conclusions one could draw from those lyrics.  That piss n' vinegar was just what this album had been lacking.

Neemo, I didn't necessarily WANT to see them beforehand, but I felt compelled to.

If this is any solace to you, I don't know, but I told my wife she had to wait to see them, I thought we were in agreement, but she went and found them on her own anyway...

I take no issue with the possibility of any mods receiving "just rewards" for the effort they have exerted.  These boards helped to galvanized the community in periods of darkness when we had no idea if/when anything was to come.  If certain individuals were acknowledged for their efforts, I think it's an altruistic gesture on GNR's part, although if certain folks benefited, every admin across the board (literally) or boards, in this case, should've shared in the spoils.

That being said, I don't feel that the lock down of the majority of the community is commensurate  with the token they may or may not have obtained.

Yea, I've used the same name for years at all the usual locations..I'm not feeling very optimistic regarding writing credits (at least with what I know thus far), but I can say that "The General" and his bass work are tremendous on the June leaks of TWAT and The Blues, specifically.
