That line about Axl chopping and changing parts from guitar solos is interesting. I wonder if the guitarist then goes in and lays down a version of Axl's solo from scratch. Hell, I wonder if Axl's ever cut together a solo that's actually physically impossible to play.

I suspect we're just going to get Slash breaking out the Godfather solo and then A7X will rattle through It's So Easy or something.
Which is such a fucking waste.

Thin Lizzy opening in the UK....NOW THAT'S A GOOD OPENER.
Is Fortus going to be playing with them? His fingers are going to be knackered.
Anyway, anyone going to the O2 gig? Want to grab a jar or several beforehand?

Heh. Adler's Appetite to play them in! 
But seriously, it'll be bloody Avenged Sevenfold or someone.
Fuck GN'R. Fuck their stupid, petty egos. Fuck them for not showing the fans some love for one miserable day. No, for TEN FUCKING MINUTES. They're all as guilty as each other. Except Adler, he's the only one who actually wants to play for the fans.

Honestly, i just don't
hell even the KOHD solo Slash does is so underrated.
We haven't even mentioned his Estranged guitar stuff etc etc etc etc
For me Robin's version of SCoM was "take it or leave it". I don't know if I've ever posted this on a GN'R board, but I'm not that big of a fan of the song to begin with. So either solo is good by me but I'd probably lean toward to studio "iconic" version of the solo if a gun were to my head.
But that second solo in NR and the Patience solo are an entirely different story for me.
See, for me it's Robin's SCOM solo at RIR3 that's the definitive version.

There are a couple of variant lineups I'd kill to see – I'd love to see the 2002-era lineup back together, if Axl was on his 2006-era vocal form. Axl with those killer vocals and a better look than his "fat, braided hockey jersey" thing together with Buckethead and Finck... 
Likewise, I'd be curious to see the current band, with Buckethead subbed in for Bumblefoot or Ashba. The former because you'd have DJ's stage charisma and old-school stylings next to Buckethead's undeniable presence, and because I'd be interested in Ashba's songwriting with a layer of Buckety goodness. The latter because, well... Bucket/Bumble guitar duels.
And I'd love to see a reunion of the 5 originals, or a hybrid thing with Fortus/Ferrer/Slash/Duff/Tommy on guitar.
But the thing is, the current band get on so well, and they all seem to be such stand-up guys, that wishing for any other line-up would mean dicking on them. Which would be terrible.

He played on the best GN'R song of all time; Better
If only he'd played on This I Love. Just once I'd love to hear that played live with Robin's solo. Thought it'd never happen, and now they tease us with the faint possibility of it...

I too loved Dave Navarro in RHCP. I thought I was the only one!

It would be genuinely comical if Axl said "There will be a Guns N' Roses reunion!" and it turned out to be the 2002 band.
Bloody brilliant, mind. But comical.

HOLY SHIT Robin was there? What did he play?
And I don't think there's anything to be concerned about with BBF's Twitter post – the tour's over, right? He's just off to take some downtime and physio before the next leg of the tour.
