I saw Guns and Roses about 2 years ago.  They are calling themselves Velvet Revolver now.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

Depends on your perspective, really.

In terms of songwriting, GNR was really pretty much just Axl and Izzy.

And sonically, the defining point was definitely Axl's... voice.

While Slash's guitar has one hell of a sound to it and the others were certainly proficient... the mercenaries Axl put together as the new GNR are across-the-board more technically proficient as musicians than any iteration of the original band.

Of course, as someone who counts King Crimson and Guns N Roses as two of my top three, I may be examining GNR in a fairly Crimsoid way as... most GNR fans probably wouldn't.

Apparently Izzy showed up last night and played five songs with them.  So maybe you'll get lucky.

Actually, you're already lucky, because you're not seeing them at the Staples Center!

Hell, maybe Buckethead'll show up! At this point, I'd rather see a guy wearing a KFC bucket than the plastic surgery disaster that is Axl's face.

Maybe they'll play their one good song - "Ain't it Fun"!

We miss you, Crocus Behemoth.

Wow.  A Dead Boys cover is the only GNR song you like?

That was the show I was at!

And... GNR's still got it. Axl's still (mostly) got it. The back-up band is as tight as a band can possibly be where there's, like, five guitars three pianos and a drum going on.

Oh, the Suicide Girls were surprisingly unexciting and... Helmet was irredeemably terrible and... Sebastian Bach was hilariously terrible but...

Man, what a show. A 20-song set plus, like, four solos? Five songs off the mythical Chinese Democracy, five or six songs with Izzy sorta there? Can't beat it with a stick.

I'm going to refer to that as a Rocket from the Tombs cover, hence my little reference.

Also, did you know that Sebastian Bach's brother played in the NHL?
