That's where my head is at with Apocalyptic Love. As for Dave I can understand some of the critics; but I think he sings better on this record than he has in years especially the late 90s and remember that train wreck Diamond Dave album from '03. The man is really just a showman getting people in a good mood. Nothing wrong with that. It really is a band record this time around while VH3 was mostly a EVH solo album with Gary on vocals and Mike and Alex providing a rhythm beat on some of the tracks. Since Eddie plays bass on most of it and experimented a ton on it which kind of hurt the album in a sense.

Kick some ass Russ! Enjoy yourself!

Even better would be a reference to a 2002 show. For instance, yeah back in 02 in NY or Detroit, me and my crew went to see the new GNR perform and then suddenly he would bring up Bucket or some random occurrence  and have a WTF reaction to it. Totally would make my day. Artists need to take a step back and have a laugh. DJ, Ron, and everyone is saying that Axl's a joke master on tour and I want some damn proof! I only got a sample of it during some cracks or rants during the last couple of tours and the TMS interview.

Hey it would be even greater, if he said hey I heard that a second GNR record is coming out in a few weeks by that old bastard, Axl Rose. Or make puns or references about the album's development. It would help him be more down to earth.  Or those in game ex-wife jokes work too.
