You know how Axl got the 2000 era lineup to rerecord AFD..... well I'd like to hear the the old lineup(AFD or Illusion) rerecord Chinese Democracy. Would probably be fuckin badass if they stripped it of all the nonsense layers and production and just made it into a rock record.  Slash would make the songs take flight. Imagine what he'd do with the Blues, this I Love or even TWAT. YES even TWAT. Axl would make Slash's songs take flight at well. Imagine what he'd have done with Slither, Messages or Anastasia. 

As it stands I'm a  less is more kinda guy that's why Slash's music post Gn'R is better to me than Axl's. Axl tries too hard(god that sounds like a fucking oxy moron) to be epic. Slash just lets it come and that's how you get to epic. You can't force it. Axl thinks you can. 

For the record I think the long intro to CD on the album is cool. It's easily edited for radio as it should be but in an album context it was cool.

I actually went to David Usher concert once and they had the Edmonton Oilers games on the big screen above the stage. It was tied late in the third period and all eyes were on the screen when suddenly the screen turned off. The crowd booed. About 1 minute went by and the screen came back on and the game went into overtime.  Dallas scored about 4 minutes into the overtime and immediately the screen went off and he lights went out and the show started. They had actually waited for the game to end. Not for the benefit of anyone in the band mind you but for the crowd

Based on the fact that no concrete reasons have ever been given as to why Axl makes the crowds wait and given that even BBF seems to have no  clue as to why fans are left to wait so long and eems as frustrated about it as we are I'd say the chances of this story being true are vastly superior to them being "absolute bullshit".  Until Axl wants to give a true answer and stop bullshitting as to why he goes on stage so late then anything goes. More than likely things like this probably happen way more than we think when it comes to Ol' Axl. He doesn't care when he goes on so if he's ready and it's 9:30 and a game he is watching is still on of course he's going to fucking wait till it's over. He has no regard for the fans when it comes to this issue so to dismiss this instantly as "absolute bullshit" based on "lack of evidence" is incredibly naive in my opinion.

Maybe Axl sounds so bad so often cause he chooses to. Maybe singing the way he used to at his age would end his career and maybe he saves the Axl Rose voice for the studio......  then again maybe not.

My gut says he simply doesn't have it in him anymore. Small glimpses is all we'll ever see. He'll fine tune it in the studio with production but in my opinion he simply can't sing the way he did when the world loved what he was doing.  I don't think Axl ever learned how to sing properly and as years went by he's probably found himself trying to sound like Axl Rose where as other singers just sing.

This is an awesome mashup. Musically there's nothing as organic as this on CD. It's just better, timeless, classic sounding music and as constipated as Axl's voice sounds it takes the song to a whole other level. Slash would do the same to CD songs with his guitar playing. 

Oh yeah Han Solo is easily more iconic than Indianna Jones. Way more famous and will be forever.

I'm curious to know now if Carrie Fisher will be back as Leia given that in the expaded universe Leia and Han are married with kids.....? I know Mark Hamill has said he'd love to play Luke again so it's almost a no brainer to bring all three of them back to reprise their roles. Someone's gotta get Carrie Fisher into a gym and on a  proper meal plan. She's gotta whip into shape.  May the force be with her.
