This thread makes me pretty sad.. 

Who is right and who is wrong? Or maybe no one is either right or wrong...

As a fan who has seen the NITL shows twice in the last few weeks, I feel grateful.. Ecstatic even.. those two nights I feel I've caught a little of the magic.. those two nights may be the highlights of the year for me.. 

But as a fan I also feel we may have missed a chance to catch a whole lot of the magic that might be, had Izzy and Steven been invited along.. 

And don't mistake me, in no way do I think this is anything to do with how I feel.. 

Guns are not even my favourite band, but their music is a part of my life.. I adore the original 5, and gradually I am coming to admire those that have come after.. But for  me it's all about the music.. 

So Axl may not sound quite the same, but fuck, Axl still sounds good to me... Slash is still a super hero, and Duff is inspirational.. No one swings like Steven did and I think still could and would.. And Izzy fuck they need you man.. 

Maybe I'm just getting old, but the world needs the chemistry of the original five.. Even if for just one more time.. 

Or.. 

Then again maybe I'm just too sentimental.. This current thing is pretty great.. Chi Dem songs especially.. 

And as as a fan I am glad we got what have right now, in '16/17, cause omg everyone needs some highs in thier otherwise exhausting lives. 

Anyway,  enough from me. Long live guns and roses! Be good to each other :-)

What a wonderful world we live in

would never have thunk tonight would be possible when all we had was cassette decks and magazines (which were awesome btw)

glass is half full people :-)
