Thanks for the vids Russ 
Dead Flowers was killer and it was nice to see Robin without the over-the-top emo getup.
Bumble's solo in Ma Kin reminded me of Yngwie shredding all over dream on...set down your ego for a minute and actually play something that fits the song. Good lord.

Yeah for me Robin seemed like a good fit for the Chinese stuff whilst DJ is a better suited for the older stuff.
they should just use 4 guitarists. whatever. who cares at this point.

Has Ron clarified his tweet, yet?
Can't watch the video right now, but will later.
I don't think he needs to clarify. He's been in pain throughout the tour, so now he gets a few months to rest up. Seems pretty straight forward to me. I don't think there's any deeper hidden meanings or anything.

That can be misleading though. The best guitar solo on the album apparently wasn't good enough to give Buckethead any writing credit for TWAT. Kinda reminds me of Slash with Estranged.
you shouldn't get a writing credit for coming in and adding one solo to an already written song...just my opinion. Estranged is different because Slash played all the melodies and solos...big difference.
I disagree. Bucket's TWAT solo takes a decent song and turns it into a very good song. It has that kind of impact IMHO. Hell, if the rest of the song was actually up to par with the solo, it would be a certifiably GREAT song. But it's not because I feel like the lyrics and melodies during the earlier part of the song aren't that good.
Re: Mar. 12th, 2012 - House of Blues, Los Angeles, CA
I understand what you're saying, but if it weren't for the initial writers who constructed the song, Buckethead wouldn't have had that solo. It goes both ways. Plus, enhancing a song isn't seen as writing. If we went by that Paul Buckmaster would also get a songwiritng credit. You can't pick and choose as to who gets writing credit.
THIS should have been a GN'R song... Maybe it was at one point.
