Great to hear Slash ripping through those songs, shame Perry cut Slash off where the first solo was supposed to come in in Knockin. Teddy has a great voice too, sounded just like Lenny!

I've finally gotten onto the Mission Metallica site (free to fan club members such as myself) with my new high-speed internet connection, and watched a shitload of videos that they've put up on there of them working on the new album.

I gotta say, I've been apprehensive about what I've heard of their new stuff, but my jaw dropped to the floor with some of the snippets of the new songs I heard. They're coming up with some absolutely killer new music. They sound re-invigorated and really inspired again.

I don't like If The World at all. Sounds like GN'R playing lounge/porn music as others have said.

Rhiad studio sounds cool, and so does the other one.
Still, are all of these tracks really worth the wait or do they live up to the hype...?

Maybe not vocally, but Straight Lines is a piano-lead song, like most of Coldplay's stuff.
Silverchair started as a guitar band, and I struggle to hear any guitar in their new stuff. Which is probably why I don't like it.

Daniel Johns shits me too. You ever see him in interviews?
He can barely string a sentence together. I guess being vegetarian will do that to you. He needs to eat a good steak or something...

Anyway, back on topic, I hope VR make an announcement soon.
Duff sounds pretty excited about the latest audition.
