never been one for 1st person shooters

The Neemo Says: "I am more of a 3rd person kinda guy"

yeah and the apparent secrecy behind Rhiad since Detroit '02 is a bit bizarre, even the fact that all booots ofthe track are utter shit...it leads me to believe that the song has undergone some major changes... I wouldnt doubt if BH's parts have been scrapped and Ron has taken over full duties on it...or that Axl has made major lyric modifications instead of saying "oh-oh-oh" through the whole thing

if the sound was shitty the i could see anyone not being too impressed

i went to the toronto 02 show and to be honest my attention was mostly on Axl as it was my first time seeing him live ...but when solos came i was locked on either robin or BH...robin was terrible at the show i went to, he was all over the place...BH was godlike and his solo was unreal...hes soo fucking fast i couldnt beleive it, I've seen Dimebag Darrell and Kerry King of Slayer and Dave Mustaine and Slash and others live and i tell you that i never seen anything like some of the stuff he was doing

come 2006 though robin had really stepped into a lead guitarist's role..i dunno maybe he wasnt ready in 02? whatever...in 06 he was 1000 times better

Regardless though, some of the stuff you guys have been saying about this article is pretty damn bizarre..but it still doesnt change my mind that BBF seems to be a better fit for the band than BH was....yes BH is probably better as far as pure skill...but BBF has a more tradition vibe and he isnt that far removed from BH in terms of ability...i always said that Ron is a good medium between Slash and BH...a perfect fit to play the old stuff and bring in the new era

this album will never warrant the 15 years....its only an album...hell even dark side of the moon couldnt come fast enough for FLoyd fans and its usually ranked among the best albums ever made

i think 50-60 is a stretch...we prolly shouldnt go past he number 32 which Axl mentioned in Jan'06...so even by the 32 tracks comment it means that hes is nowhere near complete for a third disk...i think we can presume 2 for sure cuz of the 26 nearly complete tracks comment...but for 3 albums of 10-13 songs they still need a half dozen tracks

of course the monkey wrench in this whole train of thought is the b-side comment that Axl had in 02 when he said CD would have 18 tracks and none of the songs he played that year would be on the album...which of course were Maddy, Blues, CD, Rhiad and Silkworms...another curious point to that is why on gods green earth wouldnt he have the title track on the album

anyway 4 years later 2 of the five tracks we've heard are among his top three and the setlist that Del posted contains 4 of the 5 tracks...i can imagine they would rehearse the songs if they werent gearing up for a possible album release and tour. also curious that better which was gonna be on a HD commercial and the 3rd if axls 3 faves was leaked a mere 6 weeks later

well i think its pretty unanimous that they are good enough tracks to make any album...even one as mythical as CD

I'm pretty happy with the material that we've all heard so far..if the other 17 tracks which are "nearly complete" are nearly as good or as good as them then i'll be one happy camper
