"I have expectations.  I don't settle.  I didn't with Snakepit, I didn't with VR, and I'm not going to with Axl's new GnR."

i don't understand why anyone wold want to waste their time on this site if this is the case.  if that were me i would lay low and if a reunion happens, then maybe get back into the forum thing. personally, i am really starting to beleive this new and finished material is going to be great.

that plus he is noticeable and compelling,
yet on stage he doesn't get in axl's way,
he clearly destroys all of the leaks
and
he plays the old material well
that is just a couple reasons why he is perfect for gnr

bring back bucket!!!!

if they do not i am not worried about interviews though.  they could do the same thing and not let anyone answer any questions about the album. and rock band doesn't have the characterization like guitar hero does. it may even be a smart move to avoid bringing attention to the fact that slash is not in the band any more. some of you might say you need to promote the band but in this case i am not sure you do unless you have one. this project will always be regarded as the axl rose project anyways. if you do not bring attention to the fact that you do not have a united group of people including the ones that composed the album it will cease to be an issue. if promoted well the new audience won't care who plays what as long as they like the music and the original fans laready know slash and bucket are gone. the majority of tis material is based around the vocals.

no kidding
and i agree with you madagas

tom morello

would be curious to hear it though i do not "dream" about it happening

id mainly like to see bucket or slash back
