Yes, I really agree with that, George.

Maybe, Hard Skool is just a melody from all those years, who knows.

I still can't believe that was released.

I remember the freakin' snippet back in 2006. And DJ Razz saying "Fuck you"!

Madagascar has a ton of symbolism in the lyrics. It’s a classic Axl song which is easy for him to sing. It’s a no brainer that it is in the setlist. The songs I could do without are Better and Slither.

Better's kinda had its day now that the novelty of seeing Slash and Duff perform it has worn off. I'd swap it out for I.R.S. if it were me in charge of the setlist.

I'd keep Slither if Axl would LEARN HOW TO SING THE FIRST FUCKING VERSE and stop doing the high vocal line in the chorus. Failing that, swap it out for another VR song, it'd be nice to have a bit of variety on that score. Fall To Pieces would be nice, but they have more than enough ballads in the set. Set Me Free, maybe?

I mean that sounds like a GN'R song to me and like it would be a very good comeback single.

I really don't understand the complaints about this. Why would you want what these guys can write in their late 50s and 60s, when they're comfortable and more levelheaded in their day to day lives. Give me the shit they wrote when they still wanted to do something and were still somewhat reckless.

This whole saga since 94 has been one mistake after another but clearly Axl had some shit he wanted to get off his chest musically at some point. I'd rather hear that instead of some stuff they write when they're close to being senior citizens.
