It's just meet and greets? What the fuck is the point of that? I hate it when people charge you to meet them.

[FunkyMonkey]

I don't think it's just meet and greets.

DUFF MCKAGAN, JASON NEWSTED, VINCE NEIL + MORE SET FOR ?TITANS OF ROCK? TOUR

Some of the biggest names in rock will converge on South America for the ?Titans of Rock? tour. Among those already confirmed as part of the all-star lineup are Duff McKagan, Jason Newsted and Vince Neil.

While further details are scarce at this time, the performances will most likely be a ?jam session? format similar to that of Camp Freddy ? a collective of established musicians that occasionally perform covers with guest members like Slash and Jerry Cantrell, in addition to the core lineup that also includes Matt Sorum.  In other words, don?t be surprised to hear selections from the members? discographies as well as rock staples from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, etc.

Sebastian Bach should sing Paradise City for one of the Guns N' Roses songs. He did a fine job back in 2006, at the second Wembley Arena show when he took over from Axl...

Savage Animal ROCKS!!!...

I'm fairly sure Matt wants to backhand The Savage Animal about 2 minutes in on this part..

"Baz, shut up and sing your hit - "I Remember You"

Hysterical.

"Baz, shut up and sing your hit - "I Remember You"

Hysterical.

Wow, Baz sang abit of Sweet Child O' Mine.....and then I Remember You. And I have to say, it seemed to go down really well with all the people in the room...

I love Sebastian, a sound guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. And why, life is too short, have fun do what you love and don't listen to anyone else....Baz is amazing.

[Falcon]

Baz is amazing.

In the immortal words of Patrick Swayze's character "Dalton" in the the classic movie "Roadhouse":

"Opinions vary..."

Glenn Hughes will be handling vox on The Cult tunes, whew....not The Savage Animal.

The tour hasn't start yet, so I wouldn't be so sure.

Once Sebastian and Billy get to South America, and bond in their flip flops, I wouldn't be surprised to see them together on stage.

Now, if I can just figure out how to make a request.

On stage together may happen, I'm resigned to that as a probability.

The Savage Animal singing a Cult song? 

How dare you speak/request of such heresy!!

[FunkyMonkey]

The Savage Animal singing a Cult song? 

How dare you speak/request of such heresy!!

First, I'll have to decide which Cult song would do Sebastian's voice justice.

And they'll be video:

Glenn Hughes ‏

There will be 44 people ~ Band : crew: film crew: travelling with us on the south:central american tour..a rock n' roll circus for sure...

[Falcon]

The Savage Animal singing a Cult song?

First, I'll have to decide which Cult song would do Sebastian's voice justice.

Not sure The Savage Animal has the low end to pull off anything remotely acceptable, I shudder to think at him screeching his way through anything in The Cult catalog.

That would be something akin to a cat getting it's tail pulled while scratching it claws on a chalkboard.
