I mostly want “The General” to hear something entirely new but I expect “Perhaps.”

That reminds me, U2 has a Vegas residency coming up at this new venue, Sphere. Apparently it is like a big Imax screen with 4-D effects (the chairs move, et cetera).

How well will Bono be able to handle doing three shows a week for about three months straight? The guy did a theater tour but a lot of that was him telling stories. Can he still sing all of the Achtung Baby album, which came out the same year as UYI?

Another question comes to mind: Could/should GNR consider a Sphere residency?

I keep checking here, but same process/incredulity!

Having heard the storage locker songs I am now more inclined than I ever was in the past to think the meet-and-greet packages would have been worth the money!

“Chris, was that you playing on ‘As It Began’ or was it Axl? What do you remember about the writing and recording of ‘Devious Bastard’ and can you tell me where the soundbytes came from?”

I read a quote about John Coltrane that reminds me of Axl 20 — 25 years ago when ChiDem was first being made:

“All of a sudden a guy who had been playing very ‘legitimately’ started playing strictly from his own spiritual and emotional state without worrying about the past.”

If he can remember who he was at the time and bring his still-unreleased ideas to the public now — as additions to the setlist and on records — he can still reinvent GNR in amazing ways, with Duff and Slash providing a connection to the early days and triumphs of the band.

Get “Oklahoma,” “The General,” “Atlas Shrugged” and more into the wider world. Make them legitimate parts of the GNR songbook.
