What was the old chestnut from Jan 06? 32 songs and 26 are nearly done. I think the core of the 99-02 sessions compile those 32 songs. We have 13 of them now. Depending on how much tinkering is 'required' there could be another albums worth of material literally sat ready to go. I don't see us ever getting a new album from the current lineup, simply because I don't think Axl has the desire or drive to get back in the studio and start from scratch again. He's sat on nearly 20 new songs as far as most people are concerned, the fact that their origins are from 3 lineups ago doesn't seem to bother him. Why jump back in the studio when the last time was such a confidence sapping, draining, possibly emotional and time consuming process?

All I'll say in their defence is that these are festivals, people at festivals want the hits and songs they know, the vast majority dont't want deep cuts and new music.

Although that doesn't account for the numerous GNR shows they've played with that setlist for the last two years.

I thought Pacific Rim looked awful from the trailers but that's just me. I do like the look of Now You See Me though.

On topic I liked it, a bit too star trek for me but then Supes is an alien so it's a legit route to take. Enjoyed the flashbacks section of the film with his childhood and the scenes with Costner were great. I also noticed the Reeve resemblance near the end, it was very striking. Overall a good start and I look forward to the next one!

Maybe they signed off on it in 92 and they're only just using it all now? Might not have needed Axls permission again in 2013.

Why don't you write a letter ta me....
