also LOL 

Sure, here's one possible imagined dialogue between Axl and Slash in their reunion after all those years:

Axl: Hey man, it's good to see you.

Slash: Yeah, it's been a long time.

Axl: Too long. How have you been?

Slash: I've been good. How about you?

Axl: I've been okay. It's been a wild ride, you know?

Slash: Yeah, I can imagine.

Axl: I know we've had our differences in the past, but I just want you to know that I'm really glad we're doing this.

Slash: Me too. It feels good to be back.

Axl: You know, it's funny. We've both gone through so much, but it feels like no time has passed at all.

Slash: Yeah, I know what you mean. It's like we just picked up where we left off.

Axl: So, what do you think? Are you ready to make some music together again?

Slash: Absolutely. I've got some ideas already.

Axl: That's great to hear. I think we're gonna make something really special this time around.

Slash: I have no doubt about that.

Axl: You know, I've been thinking a lot about our past and everything we went through. I just want to say that I'm sorry for my part in it all.

Slash: It's all good, man. Water under the bridge.

Axl: Still, I feel like I owe you an apology. I was going through a lot back then, and I didn't always handle things the right way.

Slash: Look, we both made mistakes. But we're here now, and that's what matters.

Axl: Yeah, you're right. Let's make some music and show the world what we can do.

Slash: Sounds like a plan to me. Let's do it.

Slash: I have learnt that drugs and alcohol are bad for my health.

Axl: I have learnt that wearing a KFC bucket on your head is a bad idea. Especially if you don't eat the chicken first.

Slash: I only keep hair under my hat.

Axl: Yes it used to smell quite sweaty. It smells better now.

Slash: Yes, head and shoulders is my addiction now.

Axl: Oh Slash, I forgot how delightfully drole you can be whilst not under the influence. 

Slash: Let us toast clean living with a round of bubble tea?

Axl: Decaf for me dude 😉

I would say all the longest tracks except Estranged. Don't get me wrong it's one of my favourites but stranded on a desert island watching actual dolphins would be too on the nose and get old very quickly.  Same reason for YCBM if (or when) the machines rise

Maybe grow one but, wear? No. The glue would itch too much.

Damn you beat me to the punch

Every time this thread comes around no-one mentions the blankets or towels in the merch store. So I assume that they are the least favourite GNR covers 🥁

"Axl's voice is a little off tonight so he's going to dance along whilst Duff takes over. The setlist will be the following:

1. Attitude

2. I Wanna Be Your Dog

3. Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory 

4. Attitude (acoustic)

5. I Wanna Be Your Dog (reggae mix)

6. Guitar solo

7. Slither (just the intro)

8. Attitude (xylophone mix)

9. Drum Solo

10. November Rain intro/Attitude (Pyrotechnics)"

So is it out yet?

Yes it just dropped. It's called A Butler's Tale. A huge, roller coaster of an album in four hundred sizzling tracks. A searing indictment of domestic servitude in the eighteenth century, with some hot gypsies thrown in.

Just read an article about David Crosby which contained an interview with him from last year. 

"If I can't make records I don't have new material to go out and play and I can't just go out and do my hits. That's just not OK, that's not good enough. Even at this late stage of the game." 

Just an ounce of that attitude would do wouldn't it?

Twelve pages? That's only two more! 

The old thread was closed at 1000 pages....this one will be too I'd imagine. 

Dats da joke

Ten pages and no album? 🤦 Fuck this band. I bet we'll make twelve pages with nothing. That may sound crazy but we used to think ten pages was crazy too.

Art is AFD with the colour pallet of UYI. Prominence of mic attached to stand either highlights his promise to end the mic toss or: "I never said anything about the mic stand... 😜"

Love the beginning bit with the hands lol pointing at Axl hands, long arm fisting Axl hand and pretend gun hands. You see, what the editor did there is quite clever. They were already playing around with hand gestures and brilliantly noticed that there is a hand gesture for a gun which is ever so conveniently the first part of the band's name. They almost got away with it. Twas their hubris which spelled their downfall. Nothing escapes me 🧐

Pudding!!!

We're gonna get this thread to 999 pages, wait for the mods to be offline, then push it to 1005 pages just to spite alfie for trying to close it early.

That would be an ecumenical matter

Didn't know that the general was by Father Ted Crilly lol

Like he did with Brian May, I hear Axl dropped that sax solo

As this old thread comes to an end soon...

I can finally reveal the leaked lyrics to The General:

My Lovely Horse,

Running through the field,

Where are you going,

With your fetlocks blowing,

In the wind.

I want to shower you with sugar lumps,

And ride you over fences,

I want to polish your hooves every single day,

And bring you to the horse dentist.

My lovely horse,

You’re a pony no more,

Running around,

With a man on your back,

Like a train in the night,

Like a train in the night!

Reading the past two pages of this thread…

I will not buy this record, it is scratched

My hovercraft is full of eels

Now, who here likes a good story about a bridge?

The time has come. Execute order thousand pages

Fill the thread you say? Very well:

It's all connected you see. Chinese Democracy 2, Lee Harvey Oswald, the balloon from China, Mugatu, the chips in our covid vaccine, etc. Etc.... Wake up people! You think bigfoot is behind all this? Don't be stupid, he's just the fall guy! The dark Lord platypus is behind all of this! You're all staring at the dots too closely to see how they all connect! Exclamation point! CAPS LOCK TO INDICATE THAT IVE RAISED THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE NOW ELLIPSES...

I've always hated fade-outs especially when you can hear guitar still going. Also for November Rain. I mean that rain was just getting it's groove on and it fades out

Sure makes it easier to download those unreleased songs if you have the YouTube music app

I’m going to this one!!!! 
I went in 2017 and it was about 47 degrees that day! Got wasted and had standing general tickets and don’t remember much of the gig! Plus being shorter I didn’t see much! 

purchased diamond seating for this one so with any luck I’ll get to see the show! If I can behave on the beers! 🤷‍♂️😉

Yeah I was at that gig sweating bullets. I was going to ask someone here to grab me a litho for tonight but realised what makes my Litho special is that I was there.

Looks like a bootleg release (there are many of these) and Ritz is most likely the 1988 show.

Yeah it's hard to tell sometimes because the company is struggling so just sells anything. Their price for the boxset is more than jbhifi
