November 23rd through Best Buy .....various sources say it's really going to happen , only in the USA though....who releases an album on a Sunday?

No way. It's just not possible. There's no way Axl Rose will ever finish that album.

Youtube says these are from 1988 down on 11th Street in NYC. I would have loved to get whacked over the head by GNR in a small place like The Ritz when they kicked ass.

My college roomie and I were off to a G 'n' R acoustic show at The World downtown in 1988. As we were about to get on the subway and realized we had just enough for tickets and tokens and absolutely no margin for error (or food or drinks). We cursed our luck and went back up to our dorm room, and the band broke the next week.

Thanks for the vids KC , 1988 would have been a great time to see them play. Growing up in Tipperary I had visions of seeing them at the Whiskey in LA. Didn't happen but I did see them at Slane Castle in 1992 , great show but by then Axl had 50 people on stage with him.

Saw one of Axl's incarnations at MSG at what turned out to be their last US show to date (they blew off Philly the next night and the tour was cancelled). They kinda sucked. And what I've heard -- leakwise -- off this disc kinda blows too. Pass.

Did he have to give us a cover of "Revolution #9" for the first minute?

Axl, thy name is irrelevance. Though I will admit that Use Your Illusion, I and II, still hold up today as listenable.

Thanks to the G&R breakup we got Velvet Revolver. Digging that band.

seawolf17 Oct 23 2008 06:19 PM

I agree, but they kicked Weiland out and are currently searching for someone to replace him. So much for that.

Steven Adler is one of the "celebrities" tonight in the second season of "Celebrity Rehab" . It's a horrible show to watch as there is nothing entertaining in watching anyone go through that.

Farmer Ted Oct 24 2008 06:44 AM

Adler getting fired led to Matt Sorum, now of Revolver. Of course, Axl fired Sorum but got in good with Slash. Thus Revolver. Sorum was once married to a high school classmate of mine.

Matt Sorum: horrible hair. I always thought Axl did the Cult a favor stealing Sorum away from them. His hair was hurting their sound. Put my bet on yes regarding an eventual reunion by the Appetite for Destruction lineup. As chock full o' jerkweeds as that group seemed to be, the money will just be too huge.

seawolf17 Oct 24 2008 07:54 AM

Oh, they'll have to get back together eventually, as much as Axl would belittle the notion now.
