[CAFC Nick]

Chili Peppers are fuckin amazing. Saw them at Earls Court around in July (this was my second gig after me first in June (GNR!!)) and I gotta say RHCP was nearly as good as GN'R, if not as good.

Oh wait, this is a GNR board. GNR WERE BETTER...

Lol, anyways Chilis ROCK and Kiedis is an AMAZING frontman. I really hope Axl presents an award to them. My two fave bands together 

[RoCoKiN]

Axl should play The Blues solo on the piano!

[robinfinckfan]

What is it w/ everyone loving that song? I don't get it. Lots of people say GNR made alot of " filler" material and I think thats bullshit, I like ALL of GNR material but some more than others and The Blues is one of those songs that are not their best

[Skinflick]

We all wish...too hard too sing that AND play piano anyway...that is a vocally demanding song...like most of them

I guarantee you that when you here the Studio version....you'll have a different opinion....Ever here that small clip from the 2002 promo?

I don't think so. I'm not slamming the song. to me, it sounds very illusion era and not that that is a bad thing but it's the only leak that is not on my ipod

I'm sure if he did attempt it solo, he might slow it down a bit and drop it an octave.

Yeah...it won't happen though

[Bostonrose]

Ok, so what do you think will happen when he is introduced, you know how the play a song by the person the introduce
When they into Axl do you think they'll play a new song, or WTTJ or SCOM?

I think a new song, so when people at home are seeing him walk to the mic, they'll say "what song is that" and peak some interest

[CAFC Nick]

Can't this be discussed in the 50-page-long thread about Axl at the VMAs?
