Re: SLASH To Present At 'MTV Video Music Awards'
Yeah I'll try and still tape it. Although MTV replays the thing all month long so not sure how important it is to tape. But it'll be cool to see Slash present at the very least. I don't plan on enjoying much more than that though.

I don't place anymore importance on Slash then say Duff or Izzy. I am aware that the rest of the world may because of Slash's high profile, but I don't.
Yeah the old school fans often feel that way..but i think in terms of iconic status to people who don't really know the band...they just see an angry redhead and a dude wearing a top hat...to the general public the UYI lineup was still GNR without question, but the current line up doesn't have the same respect out there.

I always try to watch it live no matter how much it may suck. MTV always has to end up censoring something or other for the replays.
If you are able to watch the MTV awards then my respect for you has increased yet again Russ. I haven't watched since 2003. Made me want to puke. It made me realise that the music industry has gone so bad it may never recover. I haven't heard of a new band or artist that was at least decent in ages.
Re: SLASH To Present At 'MTV Video Music Awards'
I tried to tune in for a bit last year and I just couldn't stomach it. It was awful. I think it was last year at least, the one Diddy hosted. They were at various locations, it was a hip hop fest. Oh it was horrendous. I couldn't watch the complete show live. I'll record it and skip to the good part(s). Slash, Kid Rock, check and see how much of a mess Britney is THIS year, Katy Perry to see if she kisses a girl, and if she likes it, that's about it.

Why wouldn't the Illusions line up still be GN'R? Because they replaced their unimpressive, incompetant drummer with a more reliable player? Because they had a touring rhythm guitarist fill in for Izzy, who was still represented on most of the then new music they were playing? Because of the addition of Dizzy, a talented keyboardist who gets all too often shit on even though he should have been the sixth member of GN'R since day one? The Illusions line up is the penultimate line up. Not all of us worship at the altar of AFD.

Dizzy wasn't around in the beginning, he was nowhere near from being the 6th member of the original line-up. BTW he's not that talented, not at all. Thanks God, he didn't ruin AFD with some uninspired piano playing, like he did on the UYIs. The Blues is the highlight of the guy's career so far, and this tells it all.
