Some of his playing is just a bit far out for my taste thats all. I'm glad he is in the band though, most of what he has done for the band I've enjoyed, especially seeing him live.
Scraped is one of my favourite songs on the album and I think his solo is pretty damn good, I cant wait to hear it live. The Shacklers solo is pretty far out but it fits the song, I like it more than I did actually, even with the heffalumps. Riad and Catcher are really my only gripes I think.
I wonder if he has ever wrote original music with Axl, has he ever confirmed?

A-Team

I like Ron in a live environment but I was disapointed by his contributions on the album overall. Some nice licks here and there, but his solos dont inspire me. I like the Scraped one best, but Shacklers and Riad grate on my ears. The outro on Catcher In The Rye I'm still unsure about, I know I dont love it, but I also know I dont dislike it as much as before
Its definently the low point on one of my favourite songs.

Cigars are good but they stink the house out. I reckon Axls became a bit of a connoisseur though, especially with the latin influence in his house.
I have him down as a single malt man as well,  cigars and whisky mmmmmmmm

Roll on hogmanay!

Futurama is ok, never watched it religiously, but I've never laughed at all at Seinfield.
