Martin Riggs

I looked just last night and they were still $300.

Disagree. Add Axl vocals and his thing to it and a few other tunes and it would’ve been a hit imo. It was successful as is considering it was a side project from a guitarist and was intentionally not promoted that well by Geffen so Slash would return to GNR. Received 4 stars from Rolling Stone upon release and was well reviewed in general iirc.

Yep. As an example and a peer of GNR, some of my favorite RHCP albums (Californication, By The Way, Stadium Arcadium) were during the 1999-2006 period. If GNR kept it together they could’ve released albums as big as those and doubled their discography. What could’ve been..

A huge part of their legacy is what could’ve/should’ve been. That’s not nearly as satisfying as more quality releases/songs during their prime years. It is what it is at this point but it could’ve been a lot better.

Yes, it did. Slash wasn’t in the band for 20 years and Axl made a mess of the name and himself in his absence. They still have accomplished a lot in totality, but nothing close to what they could have with the 20+ mostly wasted years.

Do you mean DJ Ashba? Not sure Robin ever even played This I Love live.

One of the better renditions of this song that Axl has done live just based on listening on my phone.

Show day.

I think this performance is a much higher quality:

The One You Loved Is Gone is superior to all of those songs. The version he plays live is outstanding as well.

Beck song lyrics . No clue why they’re posted here.

It’s at #10 on the active rock charts and has been for a bit. May be stalling but I guess we’ll see.

I’m not making fun of his appearance, but at the same time I don’t think it’s inappropriate for people on a message board to notice a weight gain and then speculate on the cause. That’s all.

Maybe he was on Ozempic and it started having adverse efffects so he had to quit.

Playing in front of people is a big facet of popular music. He’s scared to show his face and looks like a circus freak on stage. Axl was pissing on GNRs legacy with him on stage like a sideshow. Luckily it imploded quite quickly. That’s the truth. If you want to support Bucket go buy shit at his garage sale and quit pretending like he has a place in the legacy of GNR. Weirdo was outshined by Robin Finck when it comes down to it for CD contributions.

Haha. Bullshit. Clown show won’t even show his face.

Was there one called “Air” on his MySpace back in the day? I recall liking that. Does anyone know if that turned into a different song?

I really like Crestfallen and Fragile Water. Who plays guitar on these?

Never said anyone is entitled. Just seems like it would be wise to be as transparent as possible as it could affect shows that are literally days away. Done debating about it.

Springsteen just cancelled a bunch of shows yesterday and told his fans what illness he was dealing with.

Maybe not, but it would seem to make sense to mention what kind of illness is being dealt with and the typical recovery time considering there are a bunch of upcoming shows. Not a big deal I guess but that was my intended point 🤷‍♂️

Ticket sales are mostly set in stone? I’d contend a huge chunk of tickets on this tour are purchased close to the day of show.

Cool. Good luck selling tickets to the upcoming shows with that.

Who said Axl is sick? They didn’t, which was my point. The vagueness is what I’m saying is the issue.

They should. Good luck selling more tickets (there’s a bunch left) for the Tennessee show that’s in 4 days with this vague bullshit.
