I talked to my brother briefly about this when we saw each other that year. It was the first thing he said was "that was the type of show you'd go to." He knew we like the older bands and see small shows, big shows...whatever.

Panic is an amazing thing. Oddly in that film, I didn't see panic immediately. Probably because the person filming it was first out, as were so many others. But then panic set in, and a bottle neck occured. At least that's what it looks like. I know back in the old days before they had updated fire safety codes, people had died because the doors opened inwards. A fire would start, people would rush the doors, but it would then be impossible to open them.

I found it amazing how quickly the fire spread. Likewise, how quickly a fun moment could morph into a terrifying one. I'm kind of sorry I watched the video to be honest. To me it's worse than watching 911 buildings, it's much more personal.

I'll take an inebriated middle aged hoochie, directly affiliated with Duff's spouse, talking out the side of her botox frozen mug over an online "insider" any day of the week.

And perhaps we should take heed of GnR's "read between the lines" tweet. That photo Duff included is no mistake or coincidence. In fact it's pretty darn straight forward if you ask me.

The girl who cuts my hair just told me that there is a new single in the works. Apparently it's a rework of the 2002 demo "My Favorite Pillow."

Slash is going to replace Bumble's parts, who originally redid Bucket's work on this demo, whom I'm told originally built upon a riff that Slash recorded for Axl back in '95, which was the inspiration for MFP in the first place.

We're on the verge of what appears to be a classic GnR reunion. The idea of Robin returning is just....fer Chrissake man, c'mon.

This is quite a bit of information you're volunteering here. Not sure how safe this is to convey this all publicly. But you know better than I do.

I'd imagine if somebody were to hack an anonymous profile, they'd pick one that was not in use first. Otherwise flags would go up, and the true user would report it to a Moderator. The hacker could do a test run with a smiley, or small comment, and then proceed with more nefarious actions if they went undetected. However it would be quite the coincidence to pick an unused account that just happened to belong to Axl Rose. Likewise, as you said, if the intentions were malicious why not just pick a Moderator or Admin profile instead? You'd get keys to all kinds of goodies then.

As for the spam accounts registering after the fact, it was probably connected. I have (and currently) run a forum with similar series of events. In my case it may be a dormant spam account, registered but never posted. Then one day it comes to life (so to speak) and may post something rather innocuous. If nothing happens after the initial post the spam begins and I have an onslaught of new registrants, all of which are spambots from Eastern Europe.

I had to close my forum, and turn off registrations at one point too. I have since put measures in place to combat this and reopened registrations.

Still though, what kind of coincidence is it that it was Dexter's account, replying directly to one of my smarmy comments about Axl? That wouldn't make sense for a spambot testing the waters. A spambot would post something completely random. There was human thought behind that response to me.

Either way, I'm wearing a condom from now on when I post, and I suggest the rest of you weirdos follow suit.
