Indeed, but ITW was still being worked on.
I believe Atlas and Catcher were both higher in the list back in 1999, when Robin left and Brian May joined the recording. After Bucket joined and Robin came back, and after their first few gigs in Vegas and Rio, I strongly believe that Axl's direction changed up a bit to be more representative of that lineup. Which means no Josh Freese or Brian May.
For the instrumentals, I agree Oklahoma is a gem. I also enjoyed Me & My Elvis, and Zodiac 13. Zodiac 13 being my favorite instrumental. I of course enjoyed the Buckethead instrumentals as well.
Well, he’s going to pay his dues and probably won’t retry this blues thing again.
Or, it’s like he said that he doesn’t care if people like it and it’s something he wants to do. Then he probably writes his own blues record but won’t do another festival tour.
I just remembered that last night I had an inception-style dream (where I went two levels down) and in my dream within a dream I heard loud thunder and I still don’t know if it was from the real world or if it was all in my head lol
