    It seems like he'll have a band, but it'll be a weird one. Madeline (the singer) is only gonna be doing a few songs with him. Brewer probably on bass again? No mention of a drummer...

    Juno plays synths/electronic parts, apparently that's the same person as Netlag who appeared on pikes like this

    just read up on this a little bit, interesting. i think i'm gonna stay at a probably lol. but that said bucket is quickly moving into the "don't know how many more chances you'll get to see him" category, so

  2. I will also most likely hit up a show but my thoughts are very similar to Powerage's (who has always been able to describe this stuff better than me). Ultimately with what AC/DC means as a band to me I view this as an opportunity to likely say goodbye. On a similar note, it's undoubtedly great for those who haven't been able to hear these songs live before this, whether they were too young for Black Ice/ROB or whatever else.

    Rage Against the Machine (2020)- Same as above. COVID kills the tour then Zack has an injury leading to this tour failing after a few shows. Seems they are done. 

    Overall great breakdown and fun thread BUT I gotta push back here. Yes, overall, the tour was plagued with issues and it extremely sucks they had to call off everything that was slated for 2023 (and seemingly beyond). The performances themselves though were still fantastic - yes they're older and that creates inherent challenges for playing the music they play (like jumping around and tearing your achilles, lol) but for the limited amount of shows they had, they showed they picked up right back where they left off performance wise. I mean, watch this and tell me it's not right up with classic Rage live moments:

    Testify from this show is also a good example: 

     

    They also took a step forward in incorporating any sort of production in their shows for the first time. The root cause was almost definitely to give their old bones a break every 4-5 songs, but the video segments added to the weight of the show and were very well produced. If the tour had started in El Paso like it was supposed to, seeing the El Paso police van in flames that first show at the first time Rage ever had a screen would have been absolutely wild (convinced this is why it's an El Paso van).  Also, ironically, having to sit made Zack's vocals arguably better than the last reunion runs just because he was able to focus on them.

    In short, seeing these, you still believed them. Coming out like retreads and playing those songs without being able to have a crowd still be bought into what they were saying (even if only for 90 minutes before they went home) was always the biggest risk of an RATM reunion and that wasn't what happened. No debate on the tour overall having issues but I don't think they deserve to be lumped in with some of the other absolute disasters you mentioned.

  4. as probably the biggest RATM fan on this forum it would undoubtedly be lame. that said, gun to my head, brad would be the first member i'd replace. i don't want it though.

    Wow your memory is great. It was almost exactly 10 years ago that I came over the first time. 

    Yeah I love it here! We picked a good spot just slightly west of Denver. I'm less than 10 mins away from RR so I'm there somewhat frequently. Plenty of gigs but also it's a fun / easy spot to walk our dog.

    that's great to hear dude, still a big fan of that area. caught my morning jacket at RR in august for my first time there in years and it was just as amazing as i remembered.

    This thread is a fun read. Crazy how many old faces popped out of the woodwork. 

    Not to talk shit, but I miss the old @UK SUBS. As in, the guy he was before we worked on the site together...

    Who remembers the old picture thread? All the flirting and sexual tension. Good times. :lol:

    I moved from Australia to Colorado about a year ago. Life is good. I felt compelled to start posting again this week for some reason, even though interest in GN'R is at an all-time low point, particularly after the sexual assault allegations. 

    wow man i remember a long time ago (prob almost 10 years?) i gave you recommendations for your first time going over there - that's awesome you made the move. how you liking it so far? made it to red rocks?
