I think it was a joke. but Linda @ snakepit.org didn't get it... or it's her April's Fool joke I didn't get. Anyway...
Led Zep's nonsinging members are reuniting for a tour which will feature new vocalist (former Creed) Scott Stapp. Hearing the announcement, SLASH issued a statement on behalf of VR saying Stapp's signing came at the expense of VR where he had been expected to sign. SLASH said the new frontrunner for VR is Rick Astley. Astley is an English singer-songwriter and musician. He has released or appeared on recordings that have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. He is best known for his 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up". His career has hit a high level with internet promotion. He was voted by internet users as the Best Act Ever at the 2008 MTV Music Video Awards for his "Never Gonna Give You Up" internet video.

The 2009 Quart Festival in Norway will be June 30th - July 4th. SLASH & Friends will headline the first night with Ozzy Osbourne and newly announced guests Ron Wood (Rolling Stones) and Led Zep drummer Jason Bonham. This sounds like an awesome summer evening!
#2004 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » The Hype; "Use Your Illusion" Vs. "Chinese Democracy" » 917 weeks ago
The hype for CD was far greater than UYI. UYI was just dealing with "two albums that will surpass AFD" type of hype, whereas CD was dealing with "GNR's Zeppelin II" which was a far more difficult hype to beat.
I think I need to point out: while the 'whole world' was waiting for the AFD follow-up, less and less people was interested in CD. I bet that only some hundred internet nerds know that awful 'Led Zeppelin II' Brain quote anyway.

Alright, insider, we believe all your words. Just tell us sometimes what to think.

Gimme Shelter. I'm surprised, that with my vote it has only 3, although 3 of you named it before me.

I don't hate Axl, I'm only very critical of him. He used to be my idol, so I'm really disappointed to see a 47-year old man acting like a 13-year old girl and takin no responsibility at all for the circus he runs. One other important thing to mention: I'm not paid to be critical.

The monstrous Slash hate of Jarmo started when Sanctuary began to pay him/support his site. Axl still hates Slash with passion. Do the math. The J guy is paid to act like he does. What a fan.

What else other than Vocalise has Slash done instrumentally for me to track down?

I dont get this lack of support claim, when you have the talent, the instruments, the studios and the budget - go to work!!
Point taken. I don't know that after getting 10 million bucks what 'support' would you need? He had plenty of money and as it seems the record company left Axl do what he wanted. (I have to point out though that rumours says when they suggested a producer whom Axl didn't like, he just crashed the CDs with his car and sent it back.) So Axl got all the control, nobody told him what to do, nobody said 'I don't wanna do piano ballads' etc. Axl has nobody else to blame but himself for this clusterfuck. He deperately wanted the control ('Rose suggests he simply needed to take control to survive. ''It is the old story that you are told when you're a kid: 'Don't buy a car with your friends,' ', he says with his eyes straight ahead.''Nobody could get the wheel. Everybody had the wheel. And when you have a bunch of guys, I'm telling you, you are driving the car off the cliff. http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/arti … ticleid=30), but wasn't able to live up to the things a leader position requires.
Like Nick Cave would say about Axl's control issue:
'Be mindful of the prayers you send
Pray hard but pray with care
For the tears that you are crying now
Are just your answered prayers'
