a theater tour in nov concentrated SOLELY in the midwest would be a great idea, kinda like dylan's rolling thunder revue in the 70's.
they could expand it & do an arena tour in new year

do 8-12 smaller shows in the one region, if even that many. then regroup for a larger jaunt across the US in Jan/Feb

but honestly i'd be surprised if anything happened outside the SA this year.
it'll be next yr when axl is dragged kicking & screaming across empty arena's until he throws in the towelhalf way through & the whole thing get's dissolved once & for all. the end is nigh, enjoy RiR cause it's all gonna end soon.

imo: slash nightrain > BH nightrain >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BBF nightrain

but yes, perhaps my favourite GnR song & the quintessential GnR song. i believe shared writing credits amongst the AFD-5 & quite probably my favourite Solo ever.
i fucking LOVE how it fades out just @ the perfect moment
but i also fucking loved it on bootlegs & then live-era where the solo gets to end & the song comes back around, it's like the best of both worlds.
& i remember at the time BH @ leeds 2002 just freaking out like "what the fuck! holy shit! oh my god!" he just nailed it & the attitude of the band, which was something i had doubted that era was capable of before that moment & even throughout the concert. but whenever BH shredded that it was one of those moments that just blow yer mind & get you right in the balls. it was fierce. & i don't think ron's captures that, i find it a little messy & incoherent.

i'd prob's want to have 100mil+ before i dropped a solid 1mil on a rock concert tbh, axl or no axl.

more importantly, on topic: with the previously mentioned dexter & now dijon is there a chance axl'll turn into the male equivalent of the crazy old cat lady from the simpsons in his later years (which aren't far off by the way..)

the only chance for the horrible institution that is the RRHOF to achieve even an iota of credibility they need to induct GnR on first go AND get the AFD line-up to reform for it. if both those things don't happen it'll remain an embarrassing totem to a movement that deserves much more than some jann wenner-approved museum.

to be honest i would prefer there wasn't a RRHOF & think it's an atrocious thing, but in the context of the GnR drama it does offer another exciting chapter to see how dysfunctional GnR & it's band-relations have become.

i thought eric cadieux produced the final mixes/masters for CD & the costanzo pay-thing was regarding RE-mixes??

i would be shocked if an albums worth of tracks have received their final mastering & are ready for release
tho saying that, axl did tweet from NYC last year he was heading in to 'take care of bizness' & i thought it was maybe a similar set-up to where he went to new york to produce the final mixes for the official CD release...
