That clip was still 99% better than the majority of the “Selects” we got.

Hence why it was (rumored) to be the first single and why it was going to be played live.

To be fair, TIL is cringeworthy to me personally but it’s just my opinion.

They are great instrumental albums. I put Bucket in the same group as Satriani and Steve Vai but you can’t compare him to Slash. That’s like comparing Joe Perry to Yngwie Malmsteen.

Because in my opinion, Slash is superior to every other guitarist Axl has worked with combined.

TIL would have been an entirely different and in my opinion much better song if recorded with an older lineup. It is one of the more cringeworthy songs for me in the Guns catalog, especially the guitar work.

Imagine if Slash was the original player on CD and then Ashba was hired to replace him and played the tunes the way he did. Would you still call it butchering? I think we just have our ears trained to the way a song “should sound” because it was recorded that way on the album. Slash returning showed that the last 7 guitarists (minus Fortus) Axl recorded with and toured with all lacked one thing. Soul.

But honestly, a reunion did take place, which was Azoff’s long term goal.

It’s beyond crazy that this guy was THE manger for Guns and Axl for all those years. Imagine if this band actually proper, long term management like The Stones or Aerosmith?

First shot was ok. Second had me down for about 24hrs. Not “sick” but a mental fog. Also, I’d advise against taking any types of anti-inflammatory drugs before and after the shot. They will suppress your immune response. Let your body go through the process and fight through it on its own. It will be stronger afterwards. and no, I’m not a Dr. but my fiancé is and she’s one of the many who have worked on producing these vaccines. Stay safe, everyone. And get the shot not for GnR, but for yourself and your loved ones.

The leaks did not “force Axl’s hand.” Nor did they in 2006. Hard Skool was one of the songs that Slash REALLY liked since it had an old Guns vibe and was a straight up, in your face rocker as soon as the intro was dropped.

Adler/Sorum return speculation starts now.

Really? I mean, it’s kind of obvious why.

I mean, zooming in on Dizzy playing piano for about 5 plus minutes was clearly a highlight.

Well that sucked.
