Don't know if you had seen this pic before - I found it over at mygnr.

I must say Slash is certainly getting himself out and about these days.  At times I wonder whether he will damage his brand slightly and lose some of his mystique if he is not more discerning about some of the appearances he chooses to make.

Don't get me wrong I love seeing and hearing him out doing stuff and certainly wouldn't want him to turn into a reclusive hermit like someone else we know, but I still think he needs to be careful what his iconic image is associated with.

There's an Aussie band called Silverchair and they have a song called Greatest View.  This chick I knew used to sing the chorus like this:

"And I love God, the Greatest View..."

But it's actually "And I've got, the Greatest View.."

Another Aussise themed one is a Cold Chisel song Khe San the chorus is:

"Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone"

But I hear so many people sing "well the last train..."

Another funny one is the Def Leppard song Rocket.  The part where it goes:

"Rocket YEAH - Sattelite of Love". 

Everybody knows the Rocket Yeah bit but hardly anyone ever gets that next bit or even attempts is since it's bloody hard to understand.

I intentionally haven't booked a flight or bought my ticket yet for VR's Sydney shows because I really thought something like this might happen - and didn't want to be left with a wasted airfare.

I figured I would leave everything until the last possible minute and take my chances that I could still get flights etc.

Personally I don't think the tour down under is gonna go ahead.  Despite the Aussie promotors statement he is obviously in the dark as much as everyone else, so all he can say is effectively that he hasn't been told otherwise so its still going ahead.

Cheers for that, I hadn't seen those brief reviews down the side next to the concert dates.  Mind you I virtually never go to that site.  Since I haven't paid for a membership things like the forum etc on there I can't get into.

I also see no reason to pay for a membership to their fan club - they aren't doing a perth date this time.  Plus when they were touring Contraband in Oz they had a Perth date scheduled (I even had my ticket) but they cancelled it.  So I get jack shit out of paying to join their crappy members club.

But that said, if they do make it down here again (which sounds like they will) I'd still like to see em - might be my last chance.
