Yeah i'm waiting for a new VR album too. I'll be interested to see what they do post Scott..as it seems the other stuff was heavily talored to his prefrences. I don't get why people always diss slash post 1991 when his playing on IFOS is pretty much better than it was in GNR...maybe not the overall songs..but Slash's work is.

Probably on there as well just lower in the mix the way these recordings seem to go

I'm thinking of going to the imax version soon. Is it much different?

I think the logic was simply that bumble doesn't want to be the one to say something new or phrase it other than ways that have been heard before. And frankly...I don't blame him - he already does a lot PR wise - and it isn't fair for him to have to be the spokesman on issues that are out of his control - it's up to Axl and the label when the record is done and when it's released. He says in this interview he gets death threats and stuff over GNR. I mean - lets face it - anything he says is likely to become untrue in the course of time - even if it was true when he said it. I mean was tommy lying when he said he heard the final mix in 04? Doubt it...just the plans changed. So there's no point bumble saying he knows the record is finished...when the negotiations with the label could fall through, and axl may suddenly write a new song he thinks is the best ever opener to a new record and re-do it all for 2011...anything is possible. But if he does comment - all he does is risk looking like a tool to fans when somethign like this happens, or angering the fanbase in general - much of which is already hostile to him - or worse still - phrasing it in a way thats sirs up a mess that upsets Axl and gets him thrown out of the band. There's basicly no upside for bumble to even try and explain what is going on...so i think he thought about it..and figured it was best to just say what we already know that's been said before..rather than cop the heat for saying something new. I would do the same.
