Maynard James Keenan…whom I will be seeing perform in Berkeley in a few hours here.
And for the record I’m 100% on board with artists who don’t care to bro down with their fans.

Re: Slash - Perfect Crime (live at Budapest 2024)
This is the best Perfect Crime. Axl throws an absolute shit fit during the second half of the first verse and it never fails to crack me up.

Glad Slash is giving it some love. Doubt we’ll see it from GN’R again.

Re: Calling it now: AVH's Brothers will be made into a movie. And it will suck.
Cringing at the thought.
The one scene that would be fun early in the plot is a story Eddie told about when he first came to America and didn’t speak much English and he apparently answered in the affirmative to a kid asking, “Do you want me to hit you with this?”

It’s why I try to see them at least once every tour, you never know when it’ll be the last time. That’s how I approach all of the artists I love. GN’R toured super hard last year. Changed their setlist significantly. Axl was in the best shape he’s been in probably 15 years. Vocally it’s not getting...

I wonder if he’s got a memoir coming out or something? Back in those 2008 message board chats he said he was 40k words into writing it. At the pace he works, maybe it’s almost ready?

Re: "Without You" or "Tattoo"
Tattoo is without a doubt the worst song on ADKOT but all things being relative it’s a great album and Tattoo isn’t a bad song per se, just pretty basic and boring compared to the others and it doesn’t help that it was the first song and first single. Without You is one of the less-weak songs on an ...

The intro to “Without You” sure sounds like Alex to me. If that’s Ed, wow.
Also I guess Alex hadn’t actually been sober since the 80s.

If they’re done like the last couple of albums, sure.
Or if Zakk’s the main guitarist. As far back as Black Rain I listened pretty much just for the Zakk solos and they’re always great.

Nearly 30 years’ worth of Slash solo material. The two songs out of the gate for this project are the only two songs I’ve ever felt compelled to send to people like “Holy shit you’ve gotta hear this!”

This has been a fun thread to read, thank you for the insight and the recommendations! On it.
Gotta love the “he was great, now he’s good” sentiments from old time fans - uh, yeah, a 74 year old is good whereas a 30-50 year old is great. That’s sort of how it works!
