Hi there.

I noticed a time ago, that in my box which I purchased years ago directly from the gnr shop (europe, not second hand) the LP 1 from the AFD is missing but instead LP 2 is in it a second time. Anybody else had this?

That sucks, but at least that is the easiest record to replace

for you. my favorite version though. I even prefer it over the Howlin' Wolf classic.

edit: but how can it be "futile" when Slash's version seems to bring a lot of joy to so many people? silly take, no offense. I guess you were just trying to give praise to Jimi's version but I still disagree

The LZ versions from 69 and The Lemon Song rock, too

That’s cool

Hello Zoso, you Zep lovin’ bastard, hows the life n times?

Good, man! Got engaged, last year and have seen GNR a few more times since you’ve last been around   
 

Also started a Zeppelin record collection which has been a huge money pit.

how are you?

Grammys are a bunch of fanny, you know it and i know it, free yourselves folks, thank you, that is all

Fucking hell, hey len!

Nothing beats the old era from a performance standpoint. I was born in 91, so 2010 onwards is what I get. 
 

Wish I went in 2006, though

I do wish the tour was in smaller venues, but I get why it is the way it is. The theater my show is at seats 5,000 at a casino. A club in Detroit or a small ampitheater would have been better. Oh well, it is a small critique! 

I do hope he has an acoustic song on this record. If the timestamps on the wikipedia page are to be trusted, I am really fired up. Lots of long songs which will no doubt have some great blues jams

Track list and guest spots could’ve been better. Would’ve actually preferred a blues album with 1 band 

I think it is a pretty solid guest and track list

And Killing Floor is great and The General is shit.

The General (and Absurd) are like if you asked an AI to make GNR songs with the least commercial appeal.

I've probably listened to this track more than all of the "new" GNR singles combined.

The cover is a lot of fun.

Love the second instrumental section with the interplay between Tyler's harmonica and the rhythm section. 

The outro is great, with Johnson's scream leading into Slash letting it rip. 

Makes me long for the days when GNR's music included an element of fun.  Don't get me wrong, I love Chinese Democracy, but it's a bit of a heavy record.  It can be a challenge listening about monsters, child sexual assault, broken relationships, politics, grievances, etc.  Granted, a song titled Killing Floor isn't light in its subject matter, but there's a bit more tongue-in-cheek playfulness with this song.  Something I've long missed from Guns.  

What, the school bell in Hard Skool wasn't fun enough for you?

These guys are local to where I live. I'm assuming you heard about what happened to them? Keyboard is a sicko

I really liked that Afrique Victime album. Together with the tour they also announced a new album and launched the first single. That one takes some getting used to for me. Mostly because it feels very busy sonically. Very much going on, fast, all at once. I hope the album isn't that intense as a whole.

This is the new one: 

 

I dig it. It is pretty heavy for him. I am sure it was influenced by the current events in Niger. 

Slash tickets acquired. Will get my Mdou Moctar tickets soon, too. 

Last year was packed for shows, but it looks like this year will be a quieter gig year. I'm pretty pumped for Sting in a small theater, the Slash blues festival, and Mdou Moctar, though. Those are three high- impact shows for me. 

EDIT- Got tickets

My personal thought is that this will be much bigger than anything with Myles and company.. Hell I am a huge Slash fan and I don't even go to those anymore.. Plus there are some pretty decent names on the bill. 

Yeah I stopped going to the SMKC shows, too. Not because they are bad, I just felt like I got my fix and was good with just GNR for a while. I really am pumped for this. I just bought Sting tickets which were a lot, but I guess what is a little more for this, too

You might miss out

Really? Does Slash usually sell theaters out? I haven't seen him since 2015 outside of GNR and I remember getting a ticket the day of for like 15 bucks. These are like 50-90 before fees 

I think I'll just buy tickets in the summer, but I am definitely planning on going

Just got tickets to see Sting in a small theater in Detroit. Surprised they were under 200 each after fees on StubHub.

Mdou Moctar and Slashs blues festival are on my radar too

To me it is more symbolic that they are out there still, anyways. I don't care a whole lot how they sound. I'm happy Slade got another go around in 2015-2016. I bet he was, too. Anything left now just matters for Angus and Brian imo

I haven't seen Slash outside of GNR since 2015. I have to say, I am pretty excited and this is a good shot in the arm.

VIP tickets???? Meet n great with Slash? Impossibile i think

Looks like the higher cost one is a soundcheck, not a meet n greet. Still kind of cool. I did the meet n greet with him in 2012, and it was pretty brief. Glad I got to meet him once, though

Bummed Eric Gayles isn't playing the show I will go to, but it seems Keb Mo is. Very cool. I hope Slash has an all- new band for this. Nothing against MK or the rest of the Conspirators, but if he is going to do a blues tour, do a blues tour!

Darn I would love to go to this! Interlochen is a tough sell in the middle of the week, though

 

EDIT- There's a date in Windsor! Whoops, hope I can make that!

I can go
