I had to go with GB cos it was a fundemental part of my childhood. But tough call cos wizard is like an all time classic too.

I think they both have tallent. I don't like everything NIN does, but they definately have some good songs with interesting production and arrangment.

I also don't think Axl is an idiot, he seems very clever and well spoken in interviews, he just has a perspective on things not matched by most people, which makes him make choices we don't accept or understand at times.

At the end of the day, both Axl and Trent are pretty interesting characters and musicians.

I think it's little steps.

Axl's considering a tour some time in the future but not straight away, like if something comes up that he wants to play or in a few months or whatever. It was obvious from his comments it wasn't going to be short term.

You have no ability to tour with no band, even if the best offer ever comes up, so he hires DJ to replace robin so that he now has ability to tour if he wants to.

we then just have to wait until he's in the mood, not busy with the legal stuff and whatever else, and until a tour idea (offer) that suits his interest comes up.

It will eventually happen IMO, the hiring of DJ shows that, but I don't think it's going to necessarily be as soon as we'd like.

I wouldn't stress about Baz too much though, he's drop most things he was working on to join Axl on a tour if it was possible for him to drop them I think....so plans could change fast. But this just shows its more a potential idea than a firm plan at the moment...and that's pretty much what Axl/Dexter said when online.

That would be awesome if it happened.

I'd love proshot footage with the new line up!!

I know i always say this...but why not get the new band, some HD cameras and shit, do a proshot "rehersal" footage of them jamming out 2 or 3 tracks in a really intimate setting, looking all cool....then sell it as a one-off download on the website or something like that.

could be done pretty cheaply I'd have thought and still look pretty cool. Like that NIN dvd that came with "the slip" - small room artistily designed -  live jam - pretty killer.....

I'd love something like that. It'd just be nice to have a professional video of some kind of the current line up rather than relying on boots and stuff when a tour starts. And i can see making "videoclips" would be expensive...but a couple of live tracks like that...

I agree. When Axl was on MTV giving away his old house or whatever that was back in the day I didn't feel he was a whore. It was just cool to see him and gnr stuff.

I support axl doing what he needs to do to be happy. But I question how healthy it is....while he was never as media friendly as guys like Slash people seem to forget that once upon a time, Axl used to be out places, and talk to people and appear on TV and this kinda thing that everyone now says is whoring.

It's axl's life. I can just say from my own perspective, when the world's fucked it's tempting to lock yourself away, but the times i've done that it can get pretty lonely and make you feel worse in the longer term.
