Jim Bob is going to go to the $30 gig. Hell, I will give him the $30 to go if he will.

Jim Bob will go because he has nothing better to do. Just kidding. He is thinking of going on the $30 night. I am going to offer to pay his way.

I think alot of Jim Bob's hate of Slash was a misguided way of expressing his love of Robin. Not picking on JB but I wish people wouldn't make GNR into a war between factions. I like Axl. I like Slash. It's ok to like both!!
I can see why a person would look at Robin's stage presnece and his style and become a fan of him. I can also see why people like me prefered a more traditional version of the solos. I'm in awe of bucket's skills. Its clear to me that BBF is also an incredible guitarist, and Slash wrote some of the best songs ever. Its fine to have prefrences but I don't think that because you like one the best it means the other has to suck and so on. It's not that simple.
Anyway..back OT...i wish i was in vegas to go to this!
