If you're referring to the Chicago show...indeed I was.  I have to say that I've been pretty fortunate setlist wise the 2 times I saw GnR.  I didn't feel like I missed out on anything that I wanted to hear either time; in fact I think the Chicago show was one of if not the best setlist they ever did on the UYI tour.

Ok, apologies then.  I thought I was the only one that said Slash's post GnR work didn't contain any epics (or whatever it was exactly that I said).  My apologies.

He would have been singing about his own posse though.

It's pretty clear you have an anti-Slash agenda, so there's not much point in continuing this discussion (which is too bad because I think it could be an interesting discussion).  If you've listened to any VR stuff, I think it's pretty clear he had no interest in epic anything except rock n roll.  Ironically it was Scott that pushed them towards more of an alternative sound on Libertad (which I happen to like more than CB).  Scott basically turned into Axl minus the name game.  I personally think they dumped him more because of the musical direction of the group than the showing up late stuff, but that's just my opinion.  That's why I believe it when it's said Slash left GnR because of the musical direction.  Look at Snakepit.  Look at his solo stuff.  There's some good stuff there, but none of it to my ears is great and it's almost all straight rock.

I love Axl's contributions to the UYI albums.  I love the epic songs.  I love most of Libertad.  I like what Slash does with those songs; I've never understood why he's so adverse to doing them.  It's hard being a big Slash fan but loving what he did on Axl's epic stuff more than what he did on most of his own stuff (Coma and Locomotive being obvious exceptions).  It's hard being an Axl fan and hearing CD thinking there's something missing from these epic songs that I used to love from him.  That's why I still love TWaT to this day...it's as close to what I consider an old GnR song as either of them have done in 20 years.  So don't make me out to be some Slash fanboy because I'm not.  I'm not anti-Axl either.  I'm disappointed in both of them; I just happen to care more about the music than the lyrics, so I appreciate Slash a little more as a result.  That's it.
