The concept of a greatest hits album not including any of the greatest hits certainly is an idea

The album sold over 10 mil to be fair. It's one of the top 250 selling albums of all time iirc

Same!!

I was at the Philadelphia no show in 2002 lol

Buckethead list***

I'm glad you said first 6 because a lot of people leave out Sabotage but that is a badass record. No I am a huge Sabbath fan. Ozzy solo can't compare to Sabbath.

50 bones LOL The record looks like a toilet bowl somebody just pissed in

Funny I just heard that song the other week, and it had been the first time in a while and I just sat with it thinking what a fucking amazing tune. The whole album really. That's Ozzy at his absolute best.

For me it's just the experience. I love sitting down with a record and the artwork and the fact there are only a few songs per side really makes you focus on it. When I stream music it's usually in the back ground when I'm doing something like cleaning, or driving, or exercising. But when I listen to a record that is my focus, it's an experience. And I enjoy that. And it makes me glad to know the bands that I love are getting paid for the art that I love.

One of my favorite songs. I don't understand why Axl struggles so much with it. But it should be dropped if he can't figure out a different vocal approach to it

I have heard perhaps on Sirius radio more than I heard hard skool and absurd combined. I guess Axl just wasn't up to it tonight! I'm sure it'll be back in the set soon. I mean if he still is willing to play better lmao

I think Axl would really struggle on IRS but I think it's one of the more classic sounding GnR songs off of CD and would sound great with Slash and Duff. I would love to hear Shackler's Revenge too. I'm fine without the other 3 though. Even tho I like them all I really don't have desire to hear any of them live at this point

Eh I like LTD and 4. First two albums were definitely better but the last two were good too

They play playoff baseball games at that stadium in October and even early November. There is plenty of time to reschedule a concert. Especially since the Cards missed the playoffs this year.

So many heartless people in here who just view the band as a robot or something. These are humans like you and I and clearly they wouldn't cancel unless someone was seriously ill. Everyone in the band outside of Melissa is at an older age and it could be something serious. Have a heart and fuck off

I've actually heard it on Octane a few times!!

1 & 2 is Slash. As for #3 honestly I think the band is great as it is. Everyone plays well, they get along, they are happy and they just seem like a well oiled machine. I would say Brain as he is an incredible drummer or Izzy dor obvious reasons but I don't think either would want to tour to the extent that the current version does or play as lengthy of shows either.

Izzy left the band when I was 7 years old and has largely been out of the industry since I was old enough to buy albums. Some people around here talk about him like he is a mythical creature, but idk. I hope he is living a comfortable life and is happy but he really isn't someone I spend a lot of time thinking about. People are upset he didn't rejoin the band when he hasn't even really toured at all in the last 30 years. Glad he was around from 83-91 tho.

The show is 3 hours so I guess I can understand why people would try to beat traffic. I personally am going to stay for every song no matter what but I am also mentally ill lol

For the record I don't think it's performed bad at all. There is room for improvement and I bi if will improve but I think it sounds fine as is. Axl nails some of it. Just has to figure out the rest Hey I saw that show too earlier this summer. If was great to see Coal Chamber again. They absolutely killed it. Mudvayne was great and Gwar was fun too. Great show. Definitely an odd show to promote Perhaps at tho hahaha

LOL

I said the same thing in another thread about Melissa doing the "hey hey" part. I think it would work a lot better

People are used to Robin's solo, so pretty much anything else was going to stick out like a sore thumb. If they heard it with Slash's solo first they would have enjoyed it a lot more.

If GNR ever goes into the studio to record a new album I have no doubt Frank will be on drums. So no he is not a touring musician. The band just hasn't written or recorded any new songs in 20ish years lol. As of now he is the last drummer who has recorded anything with the band

Perhaps has a better shot of "appealing to the masses" today than a traditional rock song does
