I think Daryl is friends with Slash. I know Slash is a huge Walking Dead fan. But most of us are, right?
Lucky bastard.

Fast forward 8-10 years and its just a different situation. Replacements of replacements leave the band. I think Axl even stopped pretending to care about releasing new material..
Patching things up with Slash all the sudden was the best choice.
Great points.
I also think he threw in the towel in the Ashba era. The Chinese experiment made no sense with so many of its key players gone.
He had run out of road.....it was either embrace the top hat and Marlboros or retire.
What could've been...
All I can say is, I was all about the band in 2006, traveled all over the place to see them. Very exciting and optimistic.
CD comes out, finally.. it was nice, but there was almost a feeling of closure.
Then DJ Ashba joins the band.
The band plays 2 residencies here in Las Vegas over the next few years. I traveled over 2000 miles to see the band in 2006, but didn't manage to travel 20 miles to see them in my own city when I had multiple chances. Full disclosure, I settled down, got married, had a kid between all that time and that was certainly a factor. I wanted to go, but it wasn't high enough on the priority list.
Hell, if I wasn't a family man, and it this was happening back in 2006, I'd have driven down to LA last night at the hint of this warm up show. I'm sure the energy is amazing down there, even for the folks who are hanging around without a ticket.. just hoping to get a listen from outside or catch a glimpse of the band.

Now that the advertised time on the tickets have passed, everyone who is inside doesn't have their phone... wonder what info leaks from here. Fucking curious.
#195 Re: Guns N' Roses » Do you want Adler to be with GNR in Vegas, Coachella, Mexico City..... » 493 weeks ago
To me it seems like far from the most definitive GNR drummer, Frank is actually the most inconsequential (not his own fault mind you), but he is far less significant than either Adler of Sorum to the legacy.
He's been in the lineup the longest.. If that counts for anything.
I respect Adler and Matt for their part in GnR history, but moving forward, I hope they keep Frank.

Going to aim for the San Diego or Phoenix show.. both a 5 hour drive.
Looking forward to Vegas..
#198 Re: Guns N' Roses » Secret show: April 1, L.A.? » 493 weeks ago
Vegas is still the first real show. Vegas will have all the pyro, the complete stage show, a full set list, real fans, etc. I'm jealous, SG. You're there.
I agree. 500 some lucky folks in a small venue, we can't really count that. Its basically a dress rehersal.
How many of us would have a realistic shot of being at the right place at the right time to be there?
#199 Re: Guns N' Roses » GUNS N' ROSES Tour To Expand Beyond U.S.; THE CULT To Open Select Date » 493 weeks ago
Not really familiar with any of their songs.
AIC on the other hand, is a fantastic choice.
Will never happen, but I'd love to see a GnR/Metallica tour again.
#200 Re: Guns N' Roses » Looks like rehearsals have started! » 493 weeks ago
Between Adler drum sticks, Frank's kit and Sorum grin I wouldnt doubt
Adler on afd
Matt on uyi
Ferrer on cdAnd an epic triple threat drum solo
I think that would be very lame.
One drummer is fine.
