I love Duff but this recent cover of Heroes does nothing for me. It's been done to death already. Would rather he did something new than get another paint by numbers cover.

I also live in hope.

I don't think I've listened to Guns properly (ie full album start to finish) in over a year. Maybe AFD once.

Now on eBay for the bargain sum of $2000

Is that glow in the dark? If so, while the design is cool, bear in mind glow in the dark pressings have terrible sound quality due to the stuff they need to put in the wax to create the glow. Looks cool though.

"Retire" is too vague a response. Retiring from touring is different to retiring overall. I've personally seen Guns enough times to not feel I would have missed out if he did call it a day. I'd be "okay" with a retire from touring in lieu of the occasional special gig, studio work, and a more focussed / professional effort when it comes to musical releases at a standard and credibility the band deserves. A live series, rarities vinyl box, spaghetti reissue, remixes. CD boxset etc.

Trying to catch up and understand what's going on here. Am I right that this "new song" is actually an "old song" that will be in a kids musical toy box thing?!

Soon is a word. I'll give Axl that.

That was an excellent read thank you!

I didn't remotely claim he did. This thread is titled "Slash's Blues Album..." so I was commenting on that.

This is the first slash album in years that I haven't rushed to buy on the first day or streamed to death week 1. Just can't really get excited by it. Not sure why as love slash and love blues. To be honest it isn't really a "blues" album (Johnny Winter style etc) it's more blues rock / traditional rock n roll, which is fine. It just seems too polished, studio-safe, and I haven't heard any massive solos I'm in love with. Need to give it more listens possibly.

Great fight. Right person won. Ref could (should?) have stopped it round 9. John Fury is an embarrassment - the Fury corner seemed very chaotic with various people shouting stuff. Appalling comments at the end blaming the war influencing the decisions - no chance.

It was Fortus they should have ditched. Bucket and Robin all the way. Fortus is a great guitarist but totally forgettable both in terms of image and guitar style, whereas Bucket and Robin both had very unique styles. Yes different to Slash, but that was a good thing - a carbon copy would never have worked.

Yes. My stash: - Steven Wilson - Bill Evans - Parliament - Mansun - Kenny Dorham Pretty much for everything I wanted and spent a lot less than last year (budget was blown last year as Van Halen live was £95). Was busier than last year as well. Possibly the busiest ever RSD I can remember. I got up at 4.45am, left the house at 5am, got to the store around 6am and there was already 30 people in the queue.

What's the sound quality like on that one? Soundboard?
