It's really good and big news. His new song sounded good for the first listen, a bit similar to one of his last bigger singles (don't wanna spoil it for those who are waiting for the full album.)

I know that Bowie's health wasn't too good in the past years, but... to tell the truth, in this case, I'd welcome a new tour even more than a new album, cause I've never seen him live.

I think I understand monkey's point. He says that all the amazing music is there on the old albums, but the production is very simple and not something that would help the songs enough to reach full potential (these days). There isn't enough power in those recordings and some are messy - if you compare the production of The Song Remains the Same and Celebration Day, the latter wins, cause it sounds amazingly powerful and you can hear everything much clearer.

The same goes for the old studio stuff. The magic is there, but JPJ's playing wouldn't make your neighbour complain about your listening habits, cause you can listen it as loud as you want, it will not blow your head off. Bonzo's drumming is awesome, but today you would be able to see the exact drum kit around him, and would be able to physically set up his stuff.

Although 70s recordings sound much better today than the 80s ones. Just my 2 cents.

I'm so uninterested in this tribute show, that I won't even bitch about the same setlist during the Aussie tour.

I saw this thread discussed at another board, and some said that those who share this opinion are wrong, cause the record industry changed and bands barely release new stuff these days. They said CD was released only 4 years ago, so it's normal to wait another 4 years for the follow-up.

Battered wives.

A few more AC/DC covers wouldn't hurt. I say half the show GN'R, the other half AC/DC!
