That's the only way it's gonna work. Angus daughter (I think) keeps swearing they're gonna take their time, and wait and see if something can be worked out with Brian. Then again there's an entire other group that says Brian is done and has already been handed his walking papers.

Finally saw BvS yesterday... I thought it was good. Not great, but good. Not nearly as bad as the critics made out. I thought Richard Roeper nailed it in his review giving it 3 stars out of 4. That'd be my ranking as well.
I've got a TON to say on this film for later, specifically why the Extended 3-hour Snyder Director's Cut is a NECESSITY and why Ben Affleck gave the best performance of his acting career in the film.
Rank of the modern Nolan-produced era:
The Dark Knight 4/4
Batman Begins 3.5/4
The Dark Knight Rises 3.5/4
Man of Steel 3/4
Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice 3/4

Oh and by the way... based on the Mickey Mouse I heard out of Axl's voice on Paradise City tonight...
There is NO FUCKING WAY he gets that AC/DC gig. No fucking way. Axl might be good for a few AC/DC Bon Scott-era songs, he might have the rasp for Shoot To Thrill and then he'd be Mickey Mouse for the entire show.
AC/DC's fans would never forgive him or Angus for ending that band that way. They might want to go with that kid from Airbourne... or hell, Udo Dirkschneider.

I wonder if they play that to give Axl's voice a rest ahead of Paradise City? Since it's not very taxing for him to sing…
This.
First off, The Seeker is a Who classic. It's not a bland song. But regardless of your opinion of it, it's a song that in 2012-16 that Axl can vocally NAIL, without any difficulty. It fits his voice, and he seems to know how to sing it right.
It's an easy song for him to sing, and not sound like a fool.

Well, it's happened, it's real. Axl and Slash are back.
Question is: Where do we go now?
Will they make new music, or is this a retirement tour then it's back to Conspirators and Scrabble?
It'll happen as long as Axl's voice holds up. They can tour behind this for years to come. At least 2 years with a couple new songs (a rocker, a ballad) and a cover song, throw that on a 2-disc "Best of" (ala Red, White & Crue) and they could tour for a 2 years on it.
Next year bring out Izzy & Steven for a handful of shows for the AFD reunion. Do a big deluxe release of that. Hold off 'til the end of 2017, drop the next album (that was already waiting with touches from Slash & Duff). Drop the new album at the end of the year.
Tour until 2019 on that.
Take a year off. Maybe two.
Then announce a Retirement tour. Put out another rocker, ballad & cover and throw them on a ONE DISC Greatest Hits.
Tour behind it for 2 years.
Axl retires forever in 2021-22
That's my opinion on how I see this going down. We'll get at least ONE new studio LP, and the collective equivalent of an EP spanned over 3-4 years.
Beyond that... from this band? Anything more is a bonus. Maybe put out a live album or two.
jmho (don't shoot)

I can't embed it here...
Did you guys see Jesse Hughes was at the show, with his own custom "Pigeons of Shit Metal" T-shirt?
BWhahahahahahaha

He also confirmed... Pitman out, Melissa Reese IN. She's the 2nd keyboard player now.
Wow #Stunned
This band stays completely unpredicatable. Also explains why the drum kit was only signed by Axl, Slash, Richard, Duff, Frank & Dizzy.
Could Melissa be a last minute replacement for Chris?
#408 Re: Guns N' Roses » Secret show: April 1, L.A.? » 553 weeks ago
There's no way she's in her early 20's and was involved with Chinese.
She would've been a toddler when it started, lol.
#409 Re: Guns N' Roses » Secret show: April 1, L.A.? » 553 weeks ago
Some people are saying this Melissa chick is married to Brain.
Good it be?
Did Pitman get replaced... by Brain's WIFE?

In some ways you're right. DTJ + Slash's Godfather theme and a rarer performance of My Michelle is really all that changed.
