Well, he could still be the drummer for The Cult. 

He could, but look at what they put out after he was in the band. Its not like they were cranking out the hits anymore, and you see how often The Cult plays... not too much

I kind of agree, but I do think if they went back to the hard rock thing like Axl said they were gonna do after UYI, they could have probably gotten 1-2 more huge albums in before the bottom fell out. They are huge because they never had an artistic downfall (sans SI? but that was just a cover album). CD was an okay seller (but that was justified as a low seller because it was just Axl). If they put out an album now, it would probably sell as much as a new Megadeth album...

Meltdown is an arrogant tool... The guy thinks he is a rockstar, walks around with a posse, too cool for school. The guy is just a 5'4'' radio DJ in a decently sized city. Hes not even the best DJ on his own station. Screamin Scott should be doing these interviews.

Good for Matt, hanging on the GNR bandwagon is all this guy really has right now. If it wasnt for Slash, this guy would have 0 career.

Well, if people continue to go and support it, can you really blame the band for keeping on the road? I mean seriously, they got offered a stadium tour, how do you say no? Maybe if the venues got smaller, and they were playing theaters or something, you could maybe push them into trying some new material rather than rehash the same thing for 5 straight years.

I dont think this has anything to do with it. Supposedly Izzy came in and wrote with Axl many moons ago, Izzy came in and work with Slash in the early VR, and Izzy and Duff have worked together many times over the years. I think the reason GNR doesnt have albums out is because they cant all get on the same schedule to work and put together an album. Touring is a different thing because they are getting paid. They arent getting paid to put out a new album, and they know that if they do put out a new album they probably wont make much money on it.

Umm, what? Ashba has shown he is better than tons of guitar players. Probably better than you.

Im in metro Detroit, and am in a metal band named Mound Road Engine, we dont play as much, but, we keep our shows packed out. Supply and demand, lol.

With the classic line up rekindling the musical chemistry coming up what kind of record will they produce or what do you hope for?

I think somewhere between AFD and Lies acoustic soundwise with each member getting 2 songs each, with one really big rocker from Axl, Izzy, Duff and Slash. Izzy acoustic track, maybe something like Rocket Queen meets Coma to end the album. Couple of covers like Boys are Back in Town and Born to be Wild to punch it through to the mainstream.

What's your opinion?

I think of this album were EVER to happen, it would be a colossal fail, along the lines of what happened with Chinese Democracy, TONS of hype, but impossible to live up to.

DJ is cool

I really hope they do amphitheatres. one of my favorite places to see a show is the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel NJ. Thats a great venue

They arent going to play a summer tour in the states, they will do South America, then probably head over to Europe in the summer, then as usual they will be playing in the states during the winter. GNR will not want the summer concert tour competition, all the big tour promoters arent going to dedicate themselves to Guns for a whole summer jaunt.

so Hookers & Blow go from playing Hollywood clubs to doing national tours? I would be surprised to see this last...

I got that on eBay awhile back for like $25 bucks...

I really don't think the tour is happening this year. We got Aerosmith/ZZ Top touring in the summer in the US. Metallica touring Europe/USA full time this year. AC/DC doing tour dates too. Seems like the year is full.

Eh, there is room for more touring, Motley is also touring, Van Halen is supposedly going to be touring this summer and fall. Its going to be a huge summer for rock music.

If GNR went and hired DJ Ashba, then there has to be something coming down the pipeline, or else they wouldnt have even bothered.

please tell me Slash and Gilby are wearing wigs.

to the best of my knowledge you cant do animations in PhotoShop, i do mine in ImageReady, which is connected to PhotoShop

It kind of sucks that you people asked such dumb questions. Its no wonder he doesnt talk to anyone, its like hes talking to Teen Beat.

I would be surprised to see a GNR tour until at least the new year, call it a hunch.

depends on what version of LA Guns you are seeing. I am guessing its the Tracii Guns version, if so, he is the only guy who ever worked with Axl that is still in LA Guns.

i would have bought it for $1000 easily. i would have bought it for that much WITHOUT the autographs

I had a sealed version when I sold my lot.

Went for around £95.00 GBP.

That doesn't seem much. Most of them go for at least £120 unsealed

Last year i bought a LLAS cassette for only 75 euro's.

i dont think LLAS was released on cassette, i think it was a fake dude.... LLAS was self released by GNR, and only 10,000 vinyl copies were made, i dont think they made cassettes.

what the hell is with the umlauts? are they trying to be motley crue?

^ awesome.. i wonder what the price will be. my guess is 700

On the website I linked in my original post it says about £500.

Not sure what that is in U.S Dollars though and I cant be bothered to go onto a website to convert it

That would be about $730USD

Id say save up for a better amp. Why waste your money on something a little bit better, when you could save it for a little while longer and get something really good. If you settle, you will be disappointed.
