Awesome! Thanks

I always wondered why axl vanished during the last song of that show

"Slash, Finck, blah. Buckethead blows em all away. He can play circles around them."

I'd agree with that on a technical basis. He can just do fingering they can't do. However I don't think his style suits the early GNR songs, in terms of the feel of the songs. At least that was the impression I had of him in 200x. Awesome guitarist in the wrong band. Although i'll grant he is cool on the new tracks too.

^ Yeah...sometimes I wonder if that's the case too. Although timetimes I think its a misguided attempt to suck up to Axl. Like they got some contact with Axl for being positive about the line up originally, so  now do this because they THINK its what he'd want or impress him, but i'd be surprised if he really cared for it, but I could be wrong.

I've noticed tho with Slash and Duff in interviews and stuff, appart from the occasional good-natured joke, they don't tend to react well if people hang too much shit on axl. Like not if its actually nasty shit. I think slash says in his book its ok if he wants to say somehting about Axl cos like he lived through the drama of being in the band with him, but that people who don't know axl or wern't there should shut up.

Mind you...maybe it doesn't go both ways.
