  1. Loving the new album. Kennedy and Tremonti are a dream team in the same way Axl and Slash are. There was no topping Fortress, but this is easily my second favourite album of theirs. So versatile from heavy as hell songs to beautiful melodic ballads. Alter Bridge are one of the best bands around right now.

    I've never been that arsed really. When you think about it, every house of a certain age has seen people die in it, and he seems happy enough so I doubt he is the product of some crime or tragedy.

    This by the way is my favourite ghost story, The Metheringham Lass,

    I literally live right near there. One time Richard and Judy came to do an exorcism of that ghost. Daytime tv, eh?

    I'm honestly flummoxed about the Gilby hate here. It is one of the things I just don't understand (about many of you here). Gilby is the guy playing those massive shows during their commercial peak - it was Gilby at the Paris PPV and in the November Rain video! He is bona fide old era. He was there before Axl took everything over and destroyed the band. His first solo album is a brilliant little album, head and shoulders above Snakepit and Axl's overdubbed mess.

    And he is hardly an offensive character - in fact, he is one of the more likeable band members. He is simply this Stonesy chap.

    Maybe it is that I personally have a cut off point, a perceived seismic fault line, in GN'R history whereby everything that came before c.1994 was gold, and everything after 1994 after absolute wank. There is simply no way I could ever rate somebody like Fortus above somebody from the 1985-93 era. I just basically see everything commencing 1999ish fake cack.

    I guess it comes down to when it wasn't a band anymore for me. Gilby kinda arrived just as it was becoming a bloated circus for me. It was no longer 5 brothers against the world - It was 3 family feuders with a couple of hired hands, a horn section, a pianist and Teddy Zigzag... Meh, Gilby doesn't represent old Guns for me. The Illusion albums were the death knell.
