No Excuses with Elvis and with Jerry on guitar or another great guitar player that would been mind blowing to the public and myself. You know I think Rooster or an extremely stripped down Man in the Box could of worked if recorded at a slow gentle pace. That could still keep the grind of the track; but still appeal to Elvis's musical tone. It's such a deep powerful track. He could of pulled it off. Elvis would of kicked so much ass in the Traveling Wilburys too if he guested on a track or two. With him, Roy, Tom, George, and Jeff doing some of the harmonies with Dylan doing some of the backing vocals that would have been amazing to hear on record. Hearing an 80s Roy song with Elvis and a great backing band would of been killer too. Meat loaf is another artist that could go the right direction.

BUT, i'll never forget that short but sweet Madagascar moment, the dude grabbing Axl's hand. It was a short little moment, sandwiched between two crap performances of GN'R classics.
Fucking loved that moment. The guy must have been so happy that happened. As for Maddy, I thought the performance was great and if look back at the performance sure Axl was off and extremely winded on the GNR songs; but it was still a pretty awesome surprise for MTV and the fans at the time.

Damn! I only wish the guy would take it easy a little bit and hope his health turns around for the better. He is one funny son of a bitch. Hopefully he isn't preaching about it for a gimmick scenario.

I would of seen Elvis go into a more stripped down acoustic kind of setting like Johnny Cash did during the last years of his life. That would of totally worked for him. It's hard to let go of the demons on your shoulder telling you what you think is right or wrong to do in life. Drugs and alcoholism have taken away some great talents in music. It's hard to picture how their lives would of went if lived a little bit longer. Like you said earlier Axlin, I could see him go into an 80s Clapton kind of sound. I could never see Elvis deal with pop metal sounds or a heavy synth wall of sound either.

That one was actually cool because the 80's geek in me would've ate that up.
Me too man. I ate that rumour and got excited. Joined a pink forum and asked if anyone knew about it.
To this day whenever I hear that song though I think of how Axl would have slayed it!!!
Oh God!! That would be freaking incredible!

Solos are never going to be glowingly well received. But they do give Axl some time to rest and allow the other members their time in the spotlight. Plus, they're not true solos. The entire band (minus) Axl get involved, so it's more of an instrumental jam. It's not Matt Sorum banging on the drums for 4 minutes. Sorry Matt. Many of my friends had positive comments about the solos, covers, jams, and intros. I'm sure they would have rather heard 4 more actual songs, but it's not a bad alternative.
I think Sky Dog mentioned awhile back, it'd be cool if Tommy did a GNR song in his solo spot instead of "Motivation". Cool for the fans at least, but in fairness to Tommy, that's good exposure for his solo career. Ron is doing the same thing now. He's done a lot for the fans, so he deserves it. And DJ has written some pretty good solo pieces that he showcases in my mind. I'm liking Richard's new solo spot as well.
Ron is the best thing to happen to this band in quite awhile. As for Tommy I'm glad he gets his moments to shine to show that he is a bad ass player. I love the song Motivation and like the rest of you, I would love to hear a Axl and Tommy duet on a new GNR album. Or give Tommy lead vocals on a whole song or two like on the UYI or Spaghetti with Izzy or Duff. It will give a classic mean sound while Axl can still have those ballads or industrial sound music like Shackler's or OMG. DJ is also helping to reach out to the fans and those live chats and interviews seem to work out. I like Sixx AM's music too. Bought Gonna Hurt the other day. I love the Ballad of Death solo. As for Richard, his Bond theme kicks ass and his newer solo spot material is pretty good too.

Hey anything can be better than 3 or Resurrection! 
The Nostalgia Critic's review of Resurrection summed up the film quite nicely. 
Glad you thought it was pretty good. 
One of my friends wants to see it; so I may take them on on that offer!
#2929 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 752 weeks ago
Those are the reactions I heard as well. I think the only review site to give it a bad review as IGN.com. That's about it. Most of my friends who saw it really enjoyed it. So looks I'm going to check it out one of these days.
