Axl Rose, 46, is the only member of the band's original line-up to feature on the new album, he comes across with a deeper note, I am still downloading the album so no rating yet as of now, however the absence of Slash’s riffs is obvious, one of the major trademarks of GNR, some of the tracks are bit funky and not to my liking.
I guess with the news I am hearing lately, Lehman, Nasdaq, AIG, KSE and Oil prices dropping things could not look any bleaker, then comes the last nail in the coffin. Spice Girls reunion beats Led Zeppelin, after reading this all hopes were gone. The SG reunion was judged to have been better than the historic one-off comeback by rock legends Led Zeppelin. They went as far as to dub it Stairway to Girl Power. Now don't get me wrong, I am not sexist, however to be honest, I’ve never heard of the Vodafone Live Music Awards — though it sounds like something that might be held at a grimy Irish pub in London — but apparently the Girls were voted Best Live Return.
Led Zeppelin 30 years after disbanding following Bonham's death in 1980, the band continues to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success and broad influence. The band have sold more than 300 million albums worldwide vs 55 million for the Spicers The Spice Girls are revered as gay icons, especially in the UK, wow big influence in 6 years of existence.
Apparently MTV news agrees with me, and I quote "how do I put this delicately? — Led freakin’ Zeppelin. No disrespect to the Spicers, but I’m going to assume the Vodafone folks had some static on the line when they decided to dis what was likely the most anticipated (and lauded) rock and roll reunion show of our lifetime." Maybe there is still hope after all to save the world after all.

That's a blow, although Wright resigned from Pink Floyd under pressure from Waters, who had increasingly taken control of Pink Floyd, reportedly threatened not to release "The Wall" unless Wright resigned his full membership in the band. He does not appear on the band's 1983 album, "The Final Cut." Waters sucks and is full of it, Waters left Pink Floyd. Amid lawsuits, Gilmour and Mason regrouped under the Pink Floyd name; Wright rejoined them for the 1987 album "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "The Division Bell" in 1994.
Richard Wright, the keyboardist whose somber, monumental sounds were at the core of the art rock by Pink Floyd that has sold millions and millions of albums, died Monday in London, where he had lived. He was 65. Wright was a founding member of Pink Floyd, and his spacious, enveloping keyboards, backing vocals and eerie effects were essential to its musical identity. He will be greatly missed.
