To the world at large, Axl and Slash alone may be a reunion. It's not. I don't want to see a hybrid. I mean granted painting it in terms of team A versus team B really does make this seem like two totally different bands (I don't want to get into that argument), just don't call it a reunion. It's Slash's old band. Members come and go from bands all the time. If Slash returned to play with what has become a bunch of new guys (to him), that's his choice. But you shouldn't market that as a reunion.

That just makes me feel inadequate. Anything Goes and Bad Apples are two of my favorite tracks off their respective albums (especially Bad Apples).
Axlin08, my vote for most underrated GN'R track goes to Prostitute.

Madagascar is ambitious and impressive, but You Could Be Mine and Rocket Queen are two of GN'R's strongest songs.

How drunk and horny brought you to GNR Evolution is anyone's guess.

John 5 is an amazing talent, but wouldn't be properly utilized within GN'R or embraced by a majority of the fanbase. Anyway, he's Zombie's axeman now. He says he's never been happier, and seems very loyal.

I think Freese is just a coincidence.

It's not all wishful thinking. People will see a top hat this year. I was just curious what Bright Eyes seems to think has been floated his way.

There is no garbage on the Illusions, only songs less brilliant than others. Even a song like My World ... you have to marvel at the sheer ballsiness of recording and releasing a track like that. On top of that, I still don't think it's garbage. The Illusions have their soft spots, just like AFD, but what Axlin08 is saying, and what people like myself believe, is that the overwhelming quality of the Illusions tracks that stand out most is so far and away from almost anything else out there, Guns or otherwise, that it elevates those albums even above their predecessor.

What's all this hush-hush hybrid line up business?

Legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin has posted the following message in the "Diary" section of his official web site:
"I had breakfast with [KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley [on Sunday, November 9]. Paul told me they may make a KISS record, which he'll produce. A real '70s KISS-style record. If Paul can stop painting, which is his other career."
During KISS' Download Festival press conference (see video below), which was held on June 13, 2008 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK, Paul Stanley and bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons were asked whether KISS plans to ever record new material. "This is something that's been asked everywhere we go," Simmons replied. "In all seriousness, it's unfortunate, the record industry is dead, it's six feet underground, and unfortunately, the fans have done this — they've decided to download and file-share, there's no record industry around, and we're gonna wait until everybody settles down and becomes civilized and as soon as the record industry pops its head, we'll record new material." Stanley added, "The truth is we have no plans to record. The reason we don't record is because any classic band that hits the road, the last thing you really wanna hear is their new songs. Everybody says, 'Go out and do a new album,' but if you put on a live DVD of any classic band, turn off the sound and I'll tell you when they're playing a new song — it's when everybody sits down. So everybody says, 'Go do a new album,' but who goes to see the STONES to hear a new song? Who goes to see MCCARTNEY, THE WHO; who goes to see any of the classic bands to hear new songs? If you're playing a new song, that means you can't play a classic song. So, really, what's the point?"
Asked if there is any truth to reports that there is going to a TV show to find new members of KISS, Stanley replied, "That kind of got blown a bit out of proportion. There is a always a chance… Because we're KISS, we define ourselves by all the rules we bring — we're not like other bands. Is there a chance of doing a 'KISS II,' so speak? Sure. But it's not gonna take the place of KISS if we were to do it. We're in the midst of our most successful, biggest tour of Europe ever — this is the most successful tour we've ever done, bar any of the past 35 years. So we have no plans to stop. What we do outside of being a touring band, it's up for grabs. We don't live within the boundaries of other bands. They wish they could be KISS; we don't wish we could be them."

Fuck yes! Even the possibility is awesome. Later albums like Revenge, Carnival of Souls, and Psycho Circus are so totally underrated (even if I do have a huge soft spot for the '80s KISS, sans make-up).
