Yep, and Axl going to that nightclub and playing CD over and over to all who was there. Then Bach blabbermouthing about 3 CD's worth of material he heard at Axl's BBQ.
There were so many colourful rumours, it did make it quite exciting back then, when there was nothing else going on.
I did like the kid walking past the Universal offices and hearing shit blasting out a top office window, that was one of my faves.

I voted no. And I agree with Bono on this totally, technology is very cool. Morality of it is weird.
Hendrix sprang to mind. What most of us would give to have seen him perform live, but it just feels odd to me, I cant quite explain it.
What if they did Hendrix and had him doing stuff or exaggerating stuff he didnt actually do, becomes inaccurate so to speak?
Reminds me of Madame Tussauds with all the wax works in London in a way, thats a bit freaky too.

Well...thats me gutted. Serve's me right I guess, I remember seeing and reading the Classic Rock mag edition where they did a big section on The Wall and Roger going out with it again. Seem to recall them / or Roger himself mentioning it was a last hurrah so to speak. Oh well. I'll just live with the acid tinged memories of youth and my own wall at the time!
#264 Re: Guns N' Roses » London, May 31 (14 Years and Dead Flowers w/ Izzy!) » 706 weeks ago
In hindsight, regardless of my stance about Axl and Izzy on the HoF, I admit if I was at this gig and saw this happen live, I would have lost my shit. 14 Years is one of my fav GnR tunes, and to hear it played by Izzy and Axl in 2012, is pretty fucking cool.
Totally agree with this, love 14 years. When I saw Izzy with GnR in 2006 it was cool, but to hear Izzy front and centre singing this, I would have been well pleased to have been there.

So after reading Russ' original review, I checked on Roger's site. Tour dates go through to 07/21 quebec.
Anyone know if the UK has been done yet, or will get another round? Kinda kicking myself I hadnt been in here and found out about this sooner, its a show I would love to see, and to take my wife to would be awesome, she loves theatrical performances of any kind.

I never knew what a Heel was in that sense till I read AxlIn's post.

The inlay work GLW do is really impressive.

Awesome, I'll check that out, thanks.

Wow! Russ, how'd you manage to get to meet Roger? I would have thought he'd be in a bunker or something pre-show!
I'm looking forward to reading your write up.
The Wall, for me, was an album I listened to loads while stoned or on acid when I was 17 & 18 and it's some of the most beautiful, scary, hauntingly powerful music ever.
I couldn't listen to it for years after because it was like a fearful flashback, just depressing to go through and difficult to dip into. However that was years ago now, and listening to it again a couple of years back, with a clear head and spirit was pretty amazing.
Anyway, enough of my story, Russ, I wanna hear yours !
#270 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose robbed » 706 weeks ago
When I hear "$200k worth of gold and diamond studded necklaces and chains" I instantly think of BA from the A-Team. 
Bummer though for sure.
