Russia is a major player on the world stage. When the dollar crashes, Russia and not China fills the power vacuum. I find it laughable(and I'm sure Putin does as well) how the US(specifically the media) doesn't take Russia seriously. They are sitting on more oil and other energy sources than the rest of the world combined. Russia makes the middle east look like a puddle of oil at your local auto shop. They have the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, and Putin has rebuilt their military. Their navy is no longer corroded with rust in harbor.Their military is well rested while the US fights meaningless wars.

While the dollar loses value by the day, the Euro takes its place slowly as the world's top currency. While we pile on the debt by billions a day, Russia continues signing huge agreements with Euro and Asian countries building pipelines throughout the continent.

Russia not strong? Are you kidding? While we sit on a 9 trillion dollar and growing debt, Russia is up to its neck in money. They dont even know what to do with it. Their middle class is booming, while ten years ago their middle class didn't even exist anymore.

Just because Russia doesn't jump into ridiculous wars doesn't mean they aren't strong. Putin is very smart.  He isnt going to do what the US and Russia did during the cold war and fight a bunch of proxy wars. He's going to sit back and let us kill ourselves.

I am a huge BH fan, and I consider the 2001 lineup to be the best lineup in the post Izzy era(no offense Bumblefoot), but my interest in that HOB vid has dropped to pretty much zero. The people hoarding that really dropped the ball big time. They could have had every demo in circulation in early 06. Once the 06 tour started and things started moving along, interest in that show and era of the band dropped dramatically.

It was almost worthless in 06, and it really became worthless in 07 when Madagascar leaked, since it was rumored that the main page of the DVD had a studio version of Madagascar playing. That was one of the things that added to its myth.

Will I watch it if it leaks? Yeah. Will I care if it never leaks? No, especially considering we have the CD era's best show already in great quality(Rio 01),.

The teen stars from the 80's were disciples of Mother Teresa compared to these morons.

If you have easy access to it, post it up. I was looking for it earlier, but I have way too many cd-rs to be able to track down one random song on them.
