I'd love to see them do "Sailin'", that Rod Stewart cover the old band did in the UK.  

Dallas, TX

Maybe it would go something like this?

This is better than Christmas for us fans.

I wholeheartedly agree. Only it's more like Channukah in that we're going on day 4 of this amazing exposition. My favorite:

"U have to realize we were on the street. It wasn’t the first band. Whoever thought of the name kept the name unless he gave it up or moved on. Everyone was always having a new version of whatever their band name was. I wouldn’t have thought of using LA Gunns or any of Slash’s band names. We all knew that we could break up the next week. You had to have that stuff somewhat sorted between each other going in. It was a deal that we made. The issue becomes the value or perceived value now and the fans attachment and or acceptance. Really weren’t things we consciously considered even during the breakup."

It's a revelation to me that this whole business with the name is still being played out on the Hollywood streets circa 1985. That despite being the biggest band in the world (past, present, future) and a mullti-million dollar corporation of a name that it all goes back to something as fundamental as this.

Do current band members have any ownership in the name (other than yourself)?
