i predict the rio show...

[badintentions]

1. Izzy won't be there.
2. No new songs will be played. They are already playing 5 of 13 on the album, give em a break!

I can see what people are saying about izzy giving his "endorsement". While it may not be an endorsement in the way of "I agree that Axl should be playing with this band rather than the Appetite era band" I would say it is at least an obvious endorsement in the sense that Izzy is cool with Axl and supports the new guns.

It's also a great endorsement and compliment for the new band and Axl, that Izzy wanted to play with these guys and basically give his ok to the new guns.

Sorry, but the fact that Izzy played with Axl didn't mean he was giving his approval to this band as "Guns N'Roses".

That's just your conclusion, and I think it's propaganda.

At the very least it shows he doesn't share your opinion.

izzy was into the entire band.. he was rockin out with tommy, robin, fortus etc... a lot.  hes cool with the new band.  any good musician would be.. they can all play.

Since the US-Tour is also on the way in the fall and Rock in Rio is watched online & on tv worldwide i would say they will announce & play the first single of the album and later announce a release date for Chinese Democracy.

wishful thinking ..?? maybe but Fuck off it would make sense.

ahh and no Izzy or Slash or Duff will be involved

[Continental Drift]

Izzy is obviously cool with what Axl's doing and with the new band. A guy as principled as he is wouldn't appear on stage with "Guns N' Roses" if he still thought it was some kind of sham. Get serious.

It's an Axl v. Slash/Duff war.

Izzy seems to be cool with everybody.
Steven seems to be pissed at everybody.

I don't think Izzy will be there tonight though....

I could see a new track though.... "Prostitute"?
