I believe they went on early in Japan, or at least on time. In the 8-9 range at least. It does happen from time to time.
The jet-lag, probably.

Obsession and Obsession Confession. Those are real gems. I also like the song he did with Ray Charles, very smooth guitar playing.

I still say that print the proper starting time to the tickets. If you say show starts at 8.00pm, then don't force them to wait for you till midnight. As soon as GN'R prints the 'starting time depends on the mood of the singer', I'm fien with that. Till it happens, there's only Axl to blame and not those who were fool enough to believe what the promoter and their ticket said.

I give a shit no matter where they play. I take it as a healthy sign, which is more important than where they play.
Agreed. These dates don't get me excited, as I, from Europe, don't have the slightest chance to be there. But it's better if they do some shows than if they don't. It's simple. A SA tour vs. working on a new album would be a no brainer thogh.

The problem is that Axl is not unreliable enough to be reliable. They were 2 hours late in 1991, Budapest, Hungary, but the next show in Poland started just in time. Those people who did the Axl routine got the encore only.

Guitarists replacable? No. Just try to replace someone in the caliber of Jimmy Page, Brian May, EVH or Slash and you'll understand it. Unfortunately only Axl was crazy and egoist enough to try it. The revolving door shows how easy it is.
Axl doing a 180 turn? Hell no. He only has other people to write music for him. All the songs he wrote are UYI-type ballads that are crying for Slash. BTW Slash as a songwriter shown more diversity than Axl. This I Love, CITR and SoD vs. Obsession, Slither and Beautiful Dangerous etc. Nuff said.

learned bad moon risin' by CCR last night
Great! Been thinking about learning that, too.
and now for some completely different good news:
I've bought a 12-string acoustic! 
I really like 12-string guitars, had a cheap, old one, but I wanted a better instrument. It's a 30-year old Yamaha, FG 512-II. Very easy to play, like it'd be a 6-string, has a strong sound that fills the room. I really, really like it. Time to finish my internet surfing and play some guitar!

that he did...but I thought he delivered last time. The slash album had some great riffs and pretty awesome songs I thought. Another album of that quality and I'd be happy.
I really liked that album, I think it's Slash's second best post-GN'R work music wise, and it's in the Top 5 of my 'GN'R related albums' list.
However I think the second 'Slash' cd can be even better than the first one, cause now it'll be a band album to some degree, and sometimes he alone didn't find the best solutions on the first one. SlashI had amazing potential, but some songs would have needed to be 'explored'. Not to mention that the session musicians did an uninspired cash grab work on it - these guys will be much more motivated.

If this had been the curfew for GN'R, then he'd have earnt more staying at home.

Slash: I like to play Roses tunes

Slash has revealed he still has a ball performing Guns N' Roses hits.
Despite the animosity between him and rocker frontman Axl Rose, the former Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist - whose real name is Saul Hudson - still plays some of the band's older tracks when touring.
"Playing the Guns stuff is a lot of fun for me because, for a long time, with the exception of It's So Easy and Mr Brownstone and various different bands, I didn't play any Guns and Roses material, especially not in Velvet Revolver because it just wasn't the thing to do," he told Leona Graham on Absolute Classic Rock.
"So when I started doing the solo idea, I wanted to be able to revisit all the material in my catalogue."
Slash, who celebrates his 46th birthday on July 23, added: "And so doing the Guns material was sort of exciting and fun for me, and I dig doing it. The audience obviously digs it as well."
He tries to find time to work on his upcoming second solo album in between his current UK tour.
"It should be out in March of next year. [I'm] writing it. We have amazing material, it's going to be an awesome record," he said.
"So I'm a little speechless, in terms of being excited about it. As soon as we get back, I'll commence pre-production and we'll probably go into the studio, in the winter."
