I think you're mixing them up. Rio 4 was I think in 06? GNR also played that, it was shortly after their 06 comeback, not a disaster by any means but not Rock am Ring standard either which was only a couple of weeks later. I seem to remember RIR4 had some issues with sound quality on the stream though.

Whichever RIR was in 2011 was the real bad one, forgotten lyrics, splashing through puddles and a yellow rain coat. Debut of Estranged was the only highlight.

There's a documentary on in the UK tonight or tomorrow basically all about how Ivanka is playing the role of first lady.

He might if it means he'll be twiddling his thumbs for a decade while Axl writes some lyrics. Angus is short on time, if he wants to go round again, and it must be a want rather than a need at this stage, then a new album is going to have to be turned round relatively quickly. Not something projects involving Axl are usually associated with.

The lack of pressure to just turn up and lay down pre written vocals on 12 tracks might be appealing to Axl. The removal of responsibility for every note, melody and lyric might be a welcome change for him.

I've got a show in June I'm excited to see, seeing Axl, Slash and Duff on stage together was something I never thought I'd see live.

I think the reason many returned and then drifted again was that while the characters had changed and old favourites returned it was the same old CD era plot. Virtual media silence, the guy everyone wanted to see back in the band hasn't said a peep in the year he's been back. New music seems like it's a dirty word with this band, a tid-bit every 6 months from Fortus about throwing ideas around. It's all too familiar and takes people back to a darker time.

I firmly believe we will see new AC/DC music with Axl before we get any new GNR material.
