I love Buckethead so much.

It brings me to tears hearing about this.

I hope we see an outpouring of support, donations, and love from the public on this.

It'd be great if we saw Axl reach out and bring him on tour.

I don't know what's more surprising: the drunken Axl v Fernando accidental release debacle or the fact that the record company actually was cool with releasing Appetite For Democracy.

I'll go with the latter. Dreadful.

We or at least I am repeating myself on generally all topics, so I'm gonna go hibernate for awhile.

But Axl had two weeks of downtime to not get sick and rest his voice.

And this is his 5th Rock In Rio. There was at least an hour between The Who and them. They weren't changing trussing and shit like that either. If there are technical issues, the dog ate my mixing board isn't gonna cut it. (It could possibly be that Caram wasn't running voodoo on his voice because RIR had it's own techs but point stands firm).

I'll check back in later this winter, friends. Have fun!

I doubt we're getting other CD songs because they're hard for Axl to sing or probably old anti-Slash demon juju.

And speaking of juju, that seems to me the reason for the no Izzy song thing. Then again those were never played in the Chinese era either.

But too true. Now that Axl is in AC/DC, playing those seems a bit distasteful. That's your other job mate, leave that there, you're on Guns time.

"I don't work for you" yeah yeah Axl I know.

Yes and no.

The setlist changing gives the impression of life and vibrancy.

The Stones put on one of the best shows. When I saw them in 2005, it was 20% their new album. Old Keef even got two songs on vocals. Their show is usually the core of the hits, some deep cuts, and some new stuff. The opener and closer were constantly changing throughout the tour.

I don't think people would choose to hear A Bigger Bang over Exile On Main St or "Bitch" over "Wild Horses" or whatever but again it keeps it fresh and special. I got to see Riad in 2002 and random fans still go "aww, lucky!" every time I tell em. The more rare Chinese songs performed a similar function last year.

I think the whole band is just a little long in the tooth.
