If they tour NA again, what is their market? They’ve done stadiums for the big bang, arena in the fall/winter, then they came back with ballparks. I really, really, hope they don’t do the amphitheaters. Realllly don’t want that, but it may be trending that way unless they stick with ballpark/arena. Can they do that?

It sucks. In public he seemed like a happy, funny, lovable guy. But a rock star, no less. It appears the lifestyle caught up to him, and at the age of 50, knowing the outcome in retrospect, would any of us think it was worth it? I don’t think it’s a one-sided answer.

I just (as in, now) rewatched the Rise of Velvet Revolver. My slightly inebriated just-had-kid-yesterday take is everyone associated with GnR is a piece of shit in some way, so nobody should be surprised with the results.

I’d rather have Axl and Slash together with whoever, doing an extended run of shows together with dribs and drabs of old material coming out than what I feel would happen if they went with an AFD-5 reunion. I get that Team Brazil sucks but it just is what is.

Adler is Adler and I get (and think it’s obvious) why they don’t want him a permanent part. If you want to hold Izzy against Axl feel free, but he wrote with VR and never ended up playing with them. He played with Axl. I don’t know if Axl is to blame for that situation.
