I've been thinking about digging up some "deep cuts". Many of the noms we've had are different versions of the same song, but it might be fun to spend some time with Pretty Tied Up, Breakdown, Dead Horse, etc.

I'm reading more and more articles that suggest this is a personal dispute, with money being at least a factor. Crazy, if true, how that type of agreement can be contentious so many years into a band's life. Especially one with a single lineup- it's not like Motley Crue/VH/Sabbath, where guys have quit/been fired and then they get back together. Other than Alec, there's only been one Bon Jovi, and they never even officially gave Hugh Alec's job.

That Saturday night headlineup is sick. I don't know many of the other bands listed, but and Aerosmith/VH double bill? Holy shit, imagine if they play something together!

It's the words he chose that strike me as odd for someone that still appears with him from time to time. "Certain dictative singer", "Pretty much GNR became WAR. Axl took control which was totally uncool."

I don't see how you could see that as not having a negative connotation. And again, I say that as someone who loves Izzy and current GNR. There aren't many people who could say things in those terms and still be in a personal/professional relationship with Ax.
