I predict a few warm-up shows for Rock on the Range in the vicinity. They'd probably like to minimize logistics cost and cash in. After Vegas, I'd expect to see them in Europe during the summer. They have their pick of the litter in the local mainstream rock festival scene, has been that way since 2006.

Feeling co-morbid with them giraffes and playback to a major crowd? Sign language?

Ax, do you really want play Da Vinci code with your schizoid fanbase?

The ones who spent aeons researching the most bogus claims and cryptic clues related to the band, as you DID. NOT. COMMUNICATE.

Pfft. Took a look at those tweets. He's really in a loon mood nowadays. Public meltdown? Ax getting into Charile Sheen mode with giraffe slices for tiger blood?

I noticed he didn't bring himself up in any way. He was keeping himself detached of the situation as anything but a spectator, and that's unusual for his public talk. It's usually him being a victim and using very many words of relative coherence to further a point that rambles about the others being more wrong than his disenchanted self. Throw a few 'nobody's innocent, nobody's fool' remarks to appease the few fans who actually believe your take on the story and you have an (extended) Ax Tweet.

Most of what Ax has said in the past about the band, the album(s) and so forth, has deviated along these lines. He never goes into cases to question his own reasons. He merely meant the best outcome for everyone. Then obstacles came. We will hear about how difficult obstacles they have been. No clear plans for the future, but doing fine, thanks for asking. It's hard to pinpoint what keeps Axl stuck that way.

There's a record to release. He won't. Afraid? He'd shut up if afraid. Is this rant then about the RHCP and the interpreter to be understood as a similar moonlight attention-craving from a known recluse than his stint in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas?

And if you're like me, scratching your head over the 2nd tweet;

Gruesome allegations have emerged in South Africa that the “fake” sign language interpreter at the Nelson Mandela memorial service was involved in a mob which killed two men by burning them to death. Thamsanqa Jantjie is currently the subject of an inquiry into how he was allowed to appear at the service a week ago alongside world leaders, including US President Barack Obama.

Questions have been raised over the screening of the man who has been the subject of complaints from the deaf community before, and who said he had hallucinations and saw angels while interpreting at the stadium in Soweto. A cousin and three friends of Mr Jantjie have now said he was part of a group which caught two men with a stolen television, beat them and then set fire to tyres placed around their necks.

Yeah, some unconstestable plusses on vaping include the complete lack of carbon monoxide (which I downplayed with active carbon filters) and, I take it, tar. Not to mention your factory-rolled cig contain hundreds of additives - combustion then serves to create new substances out of them. I rolled my own ciggies for years, additive-free, because I was into the nicotine and the tobacco itself, and not as much into the draconian ways of Phillip Morris.

It's no big secret that major tobacco companies boost their products to be more addictive, desirable and short-lasting. In brief, they wish to turn buyers into users, users into addicts. By selling a legalized drug, they make good money - the health issues of their customers are irrelevant. War on drugs should be fought against the vendoring of harmful "tobacco-like products", which includes your average pack of ciggies. This doesn't happen directly, because it's a global business and the tobacco companies can buy themselves out of next to anything.

Therefore, vaping certainly counts as a lesser of two evils, and thumbs up if it works for you. Me, I'd found that smoking wasn't pleasurable anymore, just something I did out of habit. So, I wanted out of nicotine, just because I felt it had ran its course with me and there was little point in keeping up with it. Having said all that, going cold turkey was tough. No matter how well you reason cessation out, the body will come around to inform you that the nicotine levels are dropping below normal. After some time of the body healing itself, which includes irritability, fatigue, coughing and sleep irregularity, one can start getting used to the cravings.

A new reason to keep going is the bitch of a road that has led thus far
