Saw them last night.

Brilliant fuckin gig. Amazing energy. Gig of the year.
They're one of my favourite ever bands, top5 , like tied w/stones as my fave English band, but even so their show exceeded all expectations. I was willing to go just to give them & chance & to have seen them live but I was half expecting a dodgy enough show. In the end they blew me away.
They sounded awesome, huge. & they really put everything they had to it. Y'know sometimes you go see these arena acts & they're just phoning it in.. But sabbath were heavier & more intense than they had any right to be after all these years.
The crowd was brilliant. Once NiB hit the place went nuts & barely let up the rest of the night. Got a little smoke in whenever they did a new tune. Was just perfect.

Even the drum solo was great. If that's not a sign of a brilliant show I dont know what is!

What is the objective of all of this discourse?

Is it for people to call Slash/Duff liars? To get to the motivations of a paranoid Axl taking the name?
Clarity on timeline?

A lot of the discussion is clouding the objective of the initial point of interest over these documents. Just what do people want to get from this shit?
As far as I can tell they fucked it up, let lawyers & managers & their own personal demons wreck the thing.

Axl took the name, he had his reasons for doing so but was an asshole for doing so.
Slash & Duff got played, they were assholes for being so dumb & letting the thing slip away.

But to me it just seems like the majority of fans are using this for their own petty & redundant beliefs as to who was right & wrong & which camp they support. A few are grnuinely neutral & interested in the history of the thing, but most of theonline fan base are just wankers trying to use this to tell their version of the story., amiright??

IMO it's sad. Sad they didn't have the camaraderie to unite & rise above it. But that comes down to their own persons. So it goes. It's not like they were family & hell even families can split & fallout.. Just the nature of the times. Sad.

i'd protect my own.

i'd eat your babies tho.
in a post-apocalyptic society of course..

& judith is shane's kid.

you gotta think rationally & seriously about this stuff. if it happens you'd be even more conscious about fucking & careful about family planning (to put it politely - i was going to say about coming inside but i thought i better rephrase it...)

this has prob been my favourite demise of any character. lori's was good too but i think this one was just extra saucy w/the hacking & the image of the head severed from the body it was a moment brought a big smile to my face!
