It doesn't look like they're doing a cash grab only, but who knows, I'm still wondering what the hell happened to force Pitman out. If that was the reason I'd be disappointed. But the way things have shaped up I'm more inclined to believe the rumors about Chris being an alcoholic who's having a breakdown. If they were just looking to save costs because nostalgia heavy set lists doesn't require a second keyboardist they wouldn't have replaced him with Melissa.

Still a little odd for the split to happen right now though.

Yeah, this is almost like getting new music from Axl. So many songs I'm looking forward to hearing him on.

Yeah, but I don't have to like it. I too want to see S&D back in Guns for their ability to create music.

I'll have to agree with my Scandi friend here. It was a poor attempt at replicating BH's solo (and Robin's). Sorry to say, but some of these songs Slash needs to start carrying his weight. His renditions on TWAT, TIL and Better are not up to par. Even his own songs like Nightrain and YCBM he does not pull off properly.

It's not an issue of ability either, most of the old songs he does correct. If he's going to fuck around it better be for a good reason, like BH on Nightrain. Doing it just to do it is not cutting it when people are paying what they are for these gigs.
