wow that the first i heard of the advance...and its definately a plausible reason for the tour being dropped...but if axl stayed home cuz he was mad at the promoter...its still not right...all those people were excited to see that gig
looking back on 2002...i feel extremely lucky that i got to see them

I mean when you are 45 and still wearing that stupid top hat, the dangling cigarette, same leather pants, and jeans, it may be time for a slight change. It is a gimmick-nothing more-especially the top hat thing. He looked cool at 23....now he just looks cheesy. Personally, at this point in time, I would take Bucket's eclectic, odd show over cheesy.
As far as Bucket's playing goes, he would KILL Better, TWAT, CD, and IRS live....no doubt. Just one time I would like to see him standing on top of the drum riser next to Brain at MSG, throwing that ending TWAT solo down.
The biggest problem I had with BH was nunchuckus and robot dances at a rock concert.
Actually i thought his solo/dance thing was really fun..and i'm not Slamming BH...his talent is awe inspiring...but ya cant look at him with out saying "whats the deal with him", but living in a chicken coop and waering a KFCbucket, yellow raincoat and michael myers mask isnt something that i'd consider "cool", personally, but to each his own i guess, and while i'd never wear a top hat and i dont smoke...its slash's image...and i'd hardly call it a gimmick in the sense that i'd call BH's image a gimmick...i mean he talks through a decapitated head puppet only for christ's sake...Slash's image is no more a gimmick than Axl's bandana or biker shorts were...he may be stuck in the 90's...but its not a gimmick IMO

excellent post sic!
the toronto 02 show was the one i went to and it was packed....Axl said something to the effect of "I'm here with 16,000 freinds tonight"
how can chicago be highest gorssing at only 13,000 + unless the tickets there were more $$$ than other venues
i didnt realize that the attendance in the other shows was an average of 7,000 cuz i know NYC was sold out, Toronto was sold out or very close, Philly was sold out, Chicago was sold out, i think London Ontario was sold out (But its a small venue) ....so anyway like at least 3 shows of the large arenas were sold out so the other venues must have been really bad attendance

#11576 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Scott Weiland in Rehab » 977 weeks ago
somebody in the band finally commented on this
VELVET REVOLVER Drummer: SCOTT WEILAND 'Decided He Needed To Take Care Of Business' - Feb. 12, 2008
VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum has commented on singer Scott Weiland's decision to enter a rehab facility last week following the band's February 6 performance at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. Sorum told Entertainment Weekly magazine that Scott is "doing okay" in treatment. "He checked himself in to rehab," the former GUNS N' ROSES drummer said on Saturday at Clive Davis's pre-Grammy party. "Scott took the initiative to get in there. Nobody forced him, and that's a good thing. You see shows on TV, like 'Intervention', but until you're really ready to get clean and sober, you're going to do what you're going to do. It could have gone the other way, but he decided he needed to take care of business so he's down there taking care of himself."

#11579 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover! » 977 weeks ago
I agree with that too Neemo. I like Bucket's style better. However, Ron seems a better fit personality wise with the rest of the band. If this thing ever gets off the ground, it may last a little longer with less tension and conflict.
not that i dont think the leaks are fantastic...cuz they are...or that BH isn't amazing ... cuz he is....but gnr has enough eccentrics in Axl...they dont need another one plus a gimmick on top of it all...IMO GnR is beyond gimmicks...leave that for the Slipknot's, GWAR's and Kiss's of the biz,
No matter his enormous talent, they have a better chance of being taken seriously without him IMO
#11580 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover! » 977 weeks ago
I've said it before (Way beforethe CR article), but i think that BH is a bit too out there in both personality and Style for GnR....I think ron is a nice median between Slash and BH...and hes got the ability to do both justice IMO
