And therein lies the problem. I get the feeling Axl (entirely laudably) wanted to pay tribute to Buckethead and Brain's contribution to the album, hence their appearance in the Chinese Democracy liner notes and so forth. But that immediately causes a problem with the promotion of the current line-up. To a casual viewer, that video clearly implies that Bucket and Brain are current members*, and makes the band look absurdly large (4 guitarists, 2 drummers).

People saying, "oh, they could just re-edit it" are missing the point. It's easy for a fan cutting together a video to do that, but bands need to get sign-off on the cut from the participants, from the record company, etc etc. Layers of bureaucracy. And when they're re-editing that close to release (witness the version without Lars) and suddenly realise that they either have to cut Robin (and therefore Buckethead and Brain too), or add DJ Ashba (and they don't have any footage of him on tour), you can see why the whole thing turned into an epic clusterfuck.

*And to be fair, there's some clever editing to that effect – the shots of the current band playing under the "waterfall of sparks" helps to sell the illusion that Buckethead's playing under the same waterfall of sparks.

Er, can someone ping me a link?

Billy Corgan would be awesome. But I'm not sure the universe could take the strain of their egos in one room.

Quintessential Axl - just wanders off-stage mid-song to get a ciggy, while the entire band is left looking around thinking "where the fuck did he go?" And he throws a tantrum at the end!

I'm expecting some guest spots from Izzy and maybe Duff. Maybe both of them at once? Bach might turn up, too. Some tracks that haven't been heard for a while – OMG, Prostitute, maybe TWAT or Perfect Crime if we're lucky.
