Perfect Crime's on there, though. Man I'd love to hear that.

I'm not surprised by the late start times, but they're a fucking pain in the ass. I have to get up in the morning and go to work, unlike a multimillionaire rock star. And it's no use saying, "just book the day off," I CAN'T DO THAT.
So now I have to plan for getting from the O2 - the most isolated music venue in town - to the far reaches of Twickenham after the Tube and the trains shut down for the night. Great.

Fucking hell, he really is trooping on, isn't he? Hopefully the UK doesn't do any more damage to him...

I highly doubt Ron will be allowed any sort of backing vocals to Axl in-studio, short of just mixed down harmonies on a chorus.
Ron's voice is very campy, and I mean this with absolute seriousness... Ron would be PERFECT for a GN'R metal song, and that's about it. Ron's voice is so Mastodon and stuff like that, but outside of that, leaving the backing stuff to The General.

FUCK YES. Great news.

Idle thought - has anyone thought of taking Axl's monitor mix audio from Download or Osaka and dialling up his vocals as far as possible, then dialling down Myles' vocals on the HOF gig as far as possible and layering Axl into the mix?
Would only work if both drummers are spot on tempo wise.
Yeah, it'd be a challenge, no doubt – but it might be worth fiddling about with the tracks to see what could come of it.

It wouldn't sound perfect, but it'd be an approximation of GN'R reunited...

Does anyone have the raw audio for Axl's monitor from this show?

To a degree, I agree with you on that. Motley Crue has books and sideprojects going for it along with their own, new stuff with the original lineup and they have toured insane. Their last album, Saints of Los Angeles, went gold just like Chinese Democracy.
My point being, CD, a legendary album before its release, got the same treatment Axl's glam-rock peers had to work their asses off for. Only Axl didn't break a sweat in promoting his stuff.
For their next albums, I'd say both bands start at a low point in comparison. The Crue convinced respectable amounts of audiences that they have their vintage sound intact. Guns need to reinvent themselves as a single unit instead of a baggage claim for post-Slash guitar players.
You could almost say both bands (for different reasons) are in a peculiar situation: a sophomore slump after that comeback season. You're here. Cool. What's next? The most riveting outcome would be for Axl to let Ashba and Tommy write a ripping rock album, and truly, call it Guns N' Roses.
It's really the only way to upstage Chinese Democracy.
I'd like to see more of a band feel to the next album. Scrap all the old material and re-record from scratch, none of this pasting Fortus licks over Buckethead solos recorded five years earlier. Write and record as a unit. Hell, give Tommy a lead vocal, like Duff and Izzy on UYI.

I wonder what the new album will be called. I'm putting a tenner down on it simply being called "Guns N' Roses." That's the sort of almighty "fuck you" that I could imagine Axl doing, just for shits and giggles.
