    Reading a little less into it now, that whole promo is advertising the Nitl tour... pretty sure now that it's just more dates....

    of course, it's just more dates.

    but I'm starting to wonder whether those new shows in LA will take place in july or in october.

    it should be in july for the afd anniversary. but who knows.

    Brain was GNR's best drummer, with Adler, arguably almost as good. Frank, obviously isn't as good as any of the previous drummers, it's not even debatable. Would much rather see Adler with this current incarnation of the band. 

    Brain wasn't good at playing GNR songs.

    I have Maynard Solomon's biography which I highly recommend.

    The problem for any Mozart biographer is dealing with the composer's juvenile scatological humour. You are writing this high-brow tome about an absolute genius, a genius who transports you to heaven and back through his music, and wade through his letters trying to discover the person and are left with a man who liked fart gags!

    Elias tries to give an explanation to that scatological humor. It's all a matter of context, this kind of humor was normal back then. But it was also a symptom of Mozart's rebellion against the very strict social hierarchy.
