No kidding! It's ok for Slash to be "setting high standards" and "moving forward" without being not-Axl. What a piece of crap.

China Town was great live. I think they'll maybe roll out some more new songs here and there, but they're so damn tight that I can understand sticking with a more static playlist. It's gotta be pretty hard to put on that tight of a set.

The other thing is it seems more likely that they'll rotate in more surprises from the bqck catalog. There's just too much history there for a 20ish song set is the real problem. It's a good problem to have though, that's for sure.

Saw the boys last night in Boston. I was 11 rows from the stage on the left (damn, got Wolfie instead of Eddie ). KILLER show- they sounded awesome. Dave is still a complete nut- he really worked our side of the stage. Strangely, not so much the other side. On the other hand, Eddie never made it closer to us than Wolfie's mic- I think he gets nervous too far away from his pedals.
It gave me chills to see these guys so up close. The last time I saw DLR was on the Skyscraper tour in junior high. Never saw VH before. Eddie looked and sounded great- his chops were phenomenal. The camaraderie between the guys was awesome. Eddie and his infectious smile, DLR grooving out to the instruments, father and son sharing the mic. And they were TIGHT. Wolfie definitely holds his own, too. I wonder how old he was when Eddie taught him how to lock down the big finishes that VH songs thrive on.
