Based on the Youtube comments, this is from Paraguay, last week.

If we go talking about fashion...
The braids threw a lot of people off and yes, they were horrible in 2002. Same with his outfit, the man was a walking fashion victim. He was also in so-so shape (mentally and physically) in that period, which obviously reflected on his outlook.
The braids in 2006 were significantly smaller and to me, looked much better. He was also in great shape, which helped. Your outlook is always a combination of things, including overall health and self-confidence. One can dress in a way which borderlines silly or boring, yet the same person can elevate the room by simply having a presence.
In Rio, he looked lost at times, whereas in points he just lit up. If he keeps working on that stairmaster and rehearses a bit, I have hopes he'll be in shape in the states. He has the chops to be, but it's his call to rise to the occasion.

The way he talks about Slash (of all people) is like, superficially, he's trying to embarrass him or downplay his reputation as a ladies man, but at the same time, he sounds very affectionate towards the dude. Like, my friend did this kind of stuff and I love him anyway.
Axl's probably a hoot to hang out with once he's in the mood, but to me, this video does show how much he still cares for Slash, and thinks warmly of the times they had. It's not the things he says, it's the way he says them.
It's sad in a way. A lot of longing on both sides of the fence, I wager. And I mean that on a human level.

McClane going out to Moscow to attempt to sweet talk some Russian cops into releasing his son from jail.
A pretty dysfunctional family.
That's what happens when your folks separate and your daddy spends time blowing things up on a regular basis.

So would people want an album of all new songs then?
Touche!

+1.
One thing for sure, there was talk in 2001 of Slash playing on 3 songs with Axl for the record if Slash would apologize for some of the things he said about Axl that Axl said were not true. One of the big problems that Axl has with Slash is that he says Slash has lied about a lot of stuff. The problem is and I can't speak for everything, is some of the things that Slash has said is just Slash's point of view
If they didn't sign it, they would have had to somehow work out their differences or break up. If they had to break up Axl still would have ended up with Robin and or Bucket and the other guys in 1997/98 and would have bean able to get out the new music much easer under a different name.
Spin that out for size.

Try catching The Sisters of Mercy. A solid act.
Have heard good things about Enter Shikari as well.
#1538 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Duff Book » 761 weeks ago
That reminds me of the press release on the RiR-Lisboa cancellation/Bucket leaving.
"Last time I talked to Bucket..."
"Then, in February we got word from Brain...."
"According to those who have actually spoken with Buckethead...."
The wording just goes on to show Axl hadn't had a recent one-on-one with Bucket for some time, possibly not for several months. Whatever the truth in the situation, middlemen create a possibility for misunderstandings and Axl, prone to go from zero to one hundred in a heartbeat, would then make up his mind based on potentially faulty information.
The end result is never one to be desired.
#1539 Re: The Garden » Iran plot to kill Saudi ambassador averted. » 761 weeks ago
Business is good, since the US shipped $50 billion worth of weaponry to the Saudis during the passing year alone. If the US are to withdraw from Iraq on schedule, the current political climate there enables Iran to step in as the friendly Shi'ite neighbour.
Obviously, the American government has other plans, and in such a situation, going to bed with the Saudis by arming them to the teeth and cutting them a slice of the area's oil profits would provide the most viable solution for a continued presence.

Rock in Rio 4, as I understood.
