Axl should introduce him like "On the bass Mr. Whats his Name" and Slash should yell 'Tommy Stinson"
I loved Tommy in the band. Great Bassist and songwriter
It's one of the best Bucket albums as you can hear his emotional and melodical style of playing. Dude can shred like a beast but albums like Electric Tears or Colma are the opposite to that.
That's just wishful thinking. They will do the usual GN'R tour - SMKC - GN'R tour routine until they are ready to retire. Slash will most likely continue after that.
