I saw this yesterday, not as good as 1 or 2 but probably better than 3. The whole Saw thing is kinda losing it's appeal for me though, maybe it's just cos they're going stale I don't know.

Definately got the impression this film was left with holes in especially for Saw 5 to pick up the pieces. Unlike the first few films where the sequels created holes in the previous films to allow for the sequel, this one was definately left more deliberately open.

Spoiler below

Saikin I'd need to watch it again to answer your question cos I only read it just now because it was listed as spoiler so I didn't know what to look for. Basically though the twist was obviously not only who was Jigsaws accomplice but also when the events where taking place. It turned out the majority of the film was running parrallel with the story of Saw 3, and I'm assuming the autopsy scene at the beginning an end were set after the events of Saw 3 and 4. It does pose some questions though like you said Saikin, firstly what happened to the FBI agent who got trapped in with Jigsaws body near the end, that was never explained, also they never explained why Jigsaws accomplice was his acclompice, he went from police officer to killer for no apparent reason. Which is why I'm assuming it's being left open for Saw 5.

I was impressed by some of the trailers that showed before the film actually, a film called Pathology and Shrroms both looked like decent upcoming horror films

Sebastian "Back in the Saddle" with new album

NEW YORK (Billboard) - After filling arenas worldwide in the '80s as the lead singer of Skid Row, Sebastian Bach developed a successful Broadway career with such productions as "Jeckyl & Hyde," "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Jesus Christ Superstar."

Nowadays, when he's not touring as a solo artist, he can usually be found on one reality show or another, the latest being "Celebrity Rap Superstar." As the November 20 release of his new album, "Angel Down" approaches, Bach chatted with Billboard about future career aspirations and recording with the elusive Axl Rose.

1. IT'S BEEN EIGHT YEARS SINCE YOUR LAST SOLO RECORD. WHY?

I've done four Broadway shows since that record and I definitely count all my Broadway shows as part of my body of work. This is (also) the return of Mr. Axl Rose. The whole world has been waiting over 15 years to hear him put out new songs. That day is November 20. He sings three songs on the record.

2. HOW WAS IT RECORDING WITH HIM?

We had a great time. It took him about two hours to do "Back in the Saddle" and "(Love Is) a Bitchslap," and then he's like, "Right on, OK, it's like 2, 3 in the morning." I said, "Dude, you gotta take one whack at this song 'Stuck Inside,'" and he kinda got a little sniffy. I go, "Would ya just do the one f---ing shot?" He very carefully wrote the words he was gonna sing and came in with this f---ing vocal at the end when he goes to this high part of this high harmony above the ending chorus. It's astonishing.

3. HOW DID YOU GET HIM ON YOUR RECORD?

I sang on "Chinese Democracy" this song "Sorry," and then I just toured with him this summer in Australia and New Zealand. I texted him: "Hey, Axl, when are you gonna sing on my record?," just kinda kidding around, and I got one word back. He goes, "When?" And I go, "Well, we're in Monday," and he goes, "What's the address?" It's that simple. He goes, "Well dude, you know, not many people ask me to do this. I love doing this. This is like the coolest thing I've been asked to do."

4. HOW DID IT FEEL TO COVER "BACK IN THE SADDLE?"

I got (Aerosmith singer) Steve Tyler's blessing on the phone 'cause Axl called him right up there in the studio and handed me the cell phone. So to get the thumb's up from Steven and Axl's a pretty f---ing good omen (to) me.

At least wait to be asked about Axl, now it's the first thing Baz mentions, like the albums an after thought

Number 1 in the UK this week as well I think, with very little promo from what I've seen.

Whilst I do want CD I could never turn my nose up at a reunion. Seeing the original guys up on stage together live is the one show more than any other I want to see, and I could never dissappointed if I got the chance to see it. Having said that ideally I want CD and maybe another album from this band first before any form of reunion.
