I am quite sure Josh is completely in the dark about anything that happened after he left. All the Nine Inch Nails stuff, the Replacements stuff, and probably 100 other things he has been involved in. I doubt even Tommy had much of an idea after he did his parts. All this shit gets passed on to Axl and whoever. After that, you really have no idea what they will use or not. Complete fiasco.

Yep….a very real problem that Tommy and Westerberg had to confront. All Mat’s fans were way too sure they could do their partial reunion tour and it would spark a new album. After going in the studio and actually trying to make an album, it just didn’t work. Both bands were 80’s bands and actually very similar in attitude. What made them so great then, is actually extremely hard to recreate in your 50’s. You just don’t have that piss and vinegar anymore. It’s a job and maybe a fun job, but in the end it is a well earned paycheck.

What the fuck….of all the bands ever created, this is more ass backwards than them. We have no fucking idea what they are going to do…even more so now than ever. The guy who owns the brand also owns this! It’s probably literally changes day to day as they or he tries to figure out this new world. It’s insane. If the music is good, then fucking put it out and let the chips fall where they may. You have nothing to lose. They won’t do it. They threw you three fucking outtakes reworks…nothing more and they are being treated with lukewarm receptions and asterisks in their reviews….”reworked songs from the CD sessions”. Despite how you feel emotionally, that’s all they are. The new new Gnr needs to write their own fucking songs and release them!!!

So, nobody got the Chaz Wedding Crashers reference?
