Gript Comment

If it turns out they were deliberately mislead by state sources, this will galvanise the far right and give them the ammunition to turn this horrendous event into proof that the state don't care about ordinary people and further blame immigrants who have been contributing to Irish life for decades.

The Gript account has been challenged.

These riots, coupled with various EU countries moving to the right, doesn't bode well for the future.

Tonight.

Interesting read.

Youthinasia (and anywhere else).

York two piece in the vein of Om/Big Brave.

Sounds the business to me.

An interesting take, but not one that completely rings true to me.

A good few songs had been written and demoed around the time the band formed (Slash once said 'Don't Cry' was the first song worked on by the band, the lyrics to 'YCBM' are in the booklet for Appetite...) so it seems more like a compromise between what Axl wanted and what the others wanted.

My tracklisting would be:

Right Next Door to Hell
Dust n Bones
Don't Cry (original)
Bad Obsession
Locomotive
Yesterdays
The Garden
Civil War
Pretty Tied Up
You Could Be Mine
My World

Scarily, it's nearly 13 years since the release of 'Chinese Democracy'.

The gap between 'The Spaghetti Incident' and 'Chinese Democracy' was 15 years.

Has there been any mention of a new album, especially now that Slash and Duff are back in the line up?

He's gutted for them.
