Does anyone know if Slash's solo album would interferre with any of these plans? I can't belive I'm asking that.

Crazy how everyone starts paying attention when new things get unveiled.
And the press is either neutral or positive.
Clearly the press are ready to give whatever they put out a fair shake, they should capitalise on this buzz and get Hardschool and Absurd out the door as singles plus announce a fall time window for a new record.
The media always wanted him back on top. He took various criticisms too seriously and bought into his own fan base's wacky theories.
They wanted him back in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2006, and 2016.
How many openings can they give the guy?
Yes....they need a single out ASAP.
Single: Hardschool
B side: Silkworms
Wrap that fucker in cellophane and sell it to me.
Press is press. They're getting mentioned which is important. Again from a band (or guy) who seems to have squandered every opportunity for momentum in the last 20 years, I really hope they take advantage of this now.
Oh, I agree with whomever said a few pages back that the original lyrics from 20 years ago were far better.
And yeah, they never really hated him (aside from a few journos) but he just built up this distrust for the media and it just snowballed.

Both Old school and Absurd were on the alt setlists for the first two shows of the tour. Maybe they really planned on debuting new music on this tour.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot--1970s Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges film. Probably underlooked/under rated. It's sort of a buddy film/heist film/contrast between the guys from the 50s and the flower power/hippies generation of the 1960s. It works because the acting is great and the script is pretty good.
Deep Cover: 90s film w/Laurence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum. First time watching this and wow. Beautiful neo noir film. Sleazeball characters all around. Plus it's sort of a critique on how useless/what a farce the war on drugs from the late 80s-90s was.

I've hated Silkworms for the longest time. I just found it to be a mess.
But this reworked version with Slash and Duff (aka Absurd) is quite good.

Welp, AEW signed Bryant and Punk. Now WWE just released Brey Wyatt (Mike Rotunda's son!), the best, most interesting and original wrestler since... Bryant and Punk. They said they couldn't afford him, even though they're making ridiculous money off the Peacock deal.
It's obvious they don't care about wrestling anymore, only their media content and merchandising. If it wasn't for their library, WWE would be out of business right now. The ratings are at an historic low, like early 90s, and now their house show attendance (pre-covid) is plummeting and costing more money than they're bringing in, which never happened before.
The Kahn's are okay with losing money to build up the brand, and are going to be profitable a year earlier than expected.
The thing with Wyatt is that they always booked him horribly. He'd always lose the big match or just get stuck with some weird angle. He's a "star" but not on the level of even a Randy Orton.
Yeah, WWE is coasting on the licensing and other deals (like the Saudi blood one) now. Nothing will change unless Vince dies imo.
It'll fun to see Punk back in the wrestling ring. I'll just say this on Bryan though, I don't blame WWE for him leaving. It sounds like he did all he could/and or wanted there in WWE and just moved on. Nothing wrong with that, just business. I just hope he doesn't take any insane bumps or chances in AEW given his injury history.

If they demand I get a third shot they're paying me to do it. They're offering people money to get vaccinated now. It's not fair.
I'll get the 3rd shot if it's offered since I'm in a higher risk group. But yeah on the offering of incentives to get shots. It's fucking insane and mind boggling to me. Get the shot so you can stay safe and not spread it to others. There shouldn't be some carrot dangled to do something so simple.

Florida had 21,000+ covid positives today. I personally would have waited before opening stuff back up in May (or whenever that was) and telling everyone that they didn't need to wear masks. They did fuck that part up since they are now doing the reverse message.

GNR are so fucking lazy.
This has to be said. From the clips I looked at here, they just looked like they were phoing it in. And it just looked like such a boring, listless performance.
It's just kind of sad. Other bands exist as just a touring band but even they seem to give a shit more than GNR at this point.

LOL, cmon man you're smarter than this to fall for Tucker's BS. The Republican Secretary of State has certified the results multiple times and they have people on the ground to count, etc. And they are whole lot more reliable than Tucker Carlson.
For those who don't know, Carlson got sued (technically FNC) and their defense was he more or less makes up shit.
