I'm not gonna be when I get up for work in the morning, but at the moment I'm glad I stayed up.  And I'm still up because I'm worried I'll miss something else.

I can't say what I'm thinking right now any better than Jim Norton just did on Twitter.

@JimNorton

The beauty of Kanye West is that he's too stupid to know he can't follow The Who.

@JimNorton

If Kanye West understands anything, it's that wearing a skirt takes the focus off a shitty song.

^ I just put on a friend's facebook that I know Billy Joel is gonna come out, do New York State Of Mind, and get the cheap applause from the home crowd, but I can't imaging having to follow that.

Thanks for starting the thread, I meant to and kept forgetting. Just set the dvr in case we have something going tonight and I can't watch it live, very much looking forward to the show.

Oh ok cool! Hopefully some people can get some pro shot footage and post it on Youtube once the show ends in case I miss some of the performances I'm looking out for.

I have a feeling you'll be set. I think the performances will be available for quite some time.

They might be policing that pretty close though, because I see it is already available for pre-sale on itunes (audio, not video) and it says 100% goes to charity.  If they keep anything off youtube, you would think it would be something like that.

#57 Re: The Sunset Strip » Vinyl LPs (In general) » 655 weeks ago

I'm actually not a big vinyl guy or anything, but that site is certainly interesting.  I can see myelf spending a ton of time just browsing around on it in the future, so thanks.

Lately though I've picked up a few because a lot of the time you can get a vinyl that comes with an mp3 download for under $20, when you'd just get the digital for $10.  I like having a phyisical copy even if I rarely listen to them that way anymore, and by the time you ship the cd it will end up costing about the same as the vinyl.

Just the other day I ordered a blues compilation on "bbq sauce red" vinyl because I was going to get it one way or another, and I could get the (limited edition of 300) vinyl shipped for $18 and it came with the download I'd have bought anyway.

Very cool. I only have Alice In Chains Unplugged on vinyl. I really need to go back and grab the others.

I got that in probably 95 or 96.  It's a double vinly set of Sap and Jar Of Flies.  After I mentioned it I checked to see if it was worth anything since vinyl releases didn't seem common then.  It seems to go anywhere from $15 to $50.  I didn't look close to see how much condition factors into those prices, but I'm keeping it anyway.

I did see they have a different version of it than I have where Sap is on blue vinyl and JOF is on orange.

There seems to be a bit of that lately from the Slash camp. 

Although to be fair I know the guy has talked about Guns etc over and over and over again in the past.  He has done more than his fair share of talking on it compared to the Axl camp.  Though part of that probably results from the fact Axl has hardly done any interviews except for a few wand polishing exercises from Del and Trunk etc.

But, just as Axl can't get the Slash monkey off his back, Slah will also be inextricably linked forever to GNR and interviewers will always be wanting to ask him questions about it at the expense of his current work.  Those original guys and their roller coaster ride will always hold a fascination for reporters and fans, that will probably never be satisfied no matter how many interviews they do and how much they try and forge a new career and direction.

Yeah it was a good gesture for him to call back and admit a mistake and apologise.

Even if the original band was still together, people (especially someone like Stern) would be asking to hear stories from the 80s/early 90s from the heyday of drugs, chicks, etc.  Right or wrong, people want to hear stories from the time that they ruled the world. 

In a lot of ways that sucks for a classic artist trying to sell their new product, but it's the way it is.
