Re: How healthy do you think you are?
9, realistically 9.5. Currently in the best shape of my life, exercise 3-4x per week, barely drink alcohol, don’t smoke, probably 2/3 of what I eat is healthy/Mediterranean diet-ish. In my 20s I’d laugh at “high on life” platitudes, now that I’m 40 I get it. These days I’ll go on vacation and eat ha...

Re: Your stage gear as a Rocker
During the nu metal era I was guilty of quite a few fashion crimes including but not limited to red pants, leopard hair, and superglued spiked hair. I hope the 15 people at my gigs appreciated my efforts. That's funny. That is how many of my cover gigs went back in the 2010s in turnout. Some were d...

Re: Memphis
I like Overton Park in midtown that has the zoo. It’s a good walk. Beale Street is fine for what it is. I thought the BBQ out there was pretty disappointing. I remember Brother Juniper’s was a real good breakfast spot.

Re: How much do touring musicians get paid?
This honestly sounds frighteningly low to play music for a living at that level. Even “doing what you love”.

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.

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 ...

Re: Mike Post Claims Ed Played All The Drums on VHIII
Was surprised to read this a couple days ago.
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.

Fuuuuuuuuck.
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!”

“I think it’s a sound argument.” Bless your heart.
