Tasty. This is the sort of thing they should've been pushing out on their YouTube channel for, oh, the last 15 years or so.

I have a soft-spot for Jungle.
I know it became cliche by the end.
But in it's prime, when you've been waiting for how long, and there's always that mystery of if the show is going to go wrong, then like early 2000s Axl comes out with that epic screamed "Do you know where the fuck you are" and the way he does that predator kinda pacing during the song breakdown in the middle...when it works it works! lol.
Yup. RIR 2001/Rock Am Ring 2006 were incredible.

One thing I will never understand re TSI is the usage of You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory. It’s a good song and Duff has a good performance of it - but the placing of a Duff solo song is so lazy. It doesn’t even feature Slash on guitars! It’s just Duff and some guys from his solo record, even the electric guitar is just some dude.
It’s literally a solo album track pasted on there. They could’ve at least had Slash and Gilby overdub the guitars to make it seem less blatantly like a solo song pasted in.
To be fair, Axl stuck a track with his gardener playing guitar on there.

^ yeah...from memory Brain and Frank were friends too right? Like didn't Brain actually recommend Frank when he wanted some time off? I mean I hope it means we get an album or something, but it could just be buds hanging out.
IIRC Frank's intro to the band came through Fortus, they're long-time collaborators. I will never tire of posting this video with their lamentable 1990s fashion choices.

The drum tracks isolated could be interesting. Don't some believe Frank was mixed into the track?
Oh God, if it were possible to remix Hard Skool to put the Brain drum track back on…

It's also a bit weird that Brain would be present at soundcheck (and standing next to Frank), if he was there only for Melissa, and they're not even supposed to be dating anymore, but only working together - unless he's been there because he and Melissa have been working on something of their own.
Another - a bit far-fetched - scenario is that Frank is about to step down, maybe because of his recent marriage, so Brain is preparing to take over.
I mean, the Occam's Razor explanation is simply that Brain was paying his old bandmates a social visit, and he's standing next to Frank because… they're both drummers and they have plenty in common to chat about.
NGL, though, the (faint) prospect of Brain rejoining has me salivating; that'd pretty much be the dream line-up. Plus it would make sense, since Brain would be able to work with Melissa on their soundtracks and stuff while they were on tour.
Hey, and maybe they could tweak Hard Skool for the album release and put Brain's drums back on it.

I’m just gonna wait for the blu ray to be by itself
Same. With the best will in the world I'm not gonna drop hundreds of dollars for material I can stream on Apple Music, when the only thing that I'm interested in is the Blu-ray.
#299 Re: Guns N' Roses » Why doesn’t GNR monetize their past tours more? » 212 weeks ago
It's a weird one, isn't it? During the CD years there was an obvious reason: they didn't want to reinforce the "Slash is GN'R" narrative and undermine the then-current lineup by releasing material showcasing the old lineup.
That's surely not an issue nowadays. I had a vague theory that there were legal hang-ups and disputes over royalties with the AFD/UYI lineups, but the live material on the AFD/UYI box sets gives the lie to that.
So… why? They have a mountain of archive material and it would only serve to drum up interest in the touring machine.

Buckethead
Get in the fucking plane to play in Europe
JFC yes. I still can't believe that I missed the opportunity to see GN'R in the UK in 2002, and that Buckethead still hasn't come back.
