Talking

Their on Late Night with Conan O'Brien tonight....Was about to hit the hay, but I'm staying up for this one.... [img]graemlins/jammin.gif[/img]

Their album,"Contraband" is awesome!!Its got some tracks that sound like GNR and some the sound STPish/Nirvana-ish...and some that sound totally unique...Been listening to it in the car for like 3 days straight... [img]graemlins/bow.gif[/img]

Scott Weiland sounds and looks in the best shape he's been in in soooo long...I guess given up the drugs makes a difference...

In my own mind,I offer the track "Fall to Peices" as a farewell to my buddy Ryan..RIP,Man!!

Anyway,Watch Conan tonight.....this should be a treat!! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Awesome Performance!!

Only 2 small complaints about it,but nothing that would stop me from seeing them live....

a:Scott Weiland was dressed up like a french tourist...Looked like a total wuss next to Slash dressed in full leather....

b:The ending they did of "Fall to Pieces" wasnt as sweet and smooth as on the album....but what do you want for a late night show performnce...

They got to play the show out..played first track off the album(title slips my mind)...

Would definatly go see em live..

Are they doing the big arena type shows or doing the bar tour thing?

I know I saw Andew WK in a bar and it kicked the crap outta any big stage show I'd ever seen,,,,

Hope they make Calgary one point and tix arent too much...

I watched them play Conan last night, sounded good. I heard the album, my buddy picked it up, not a whole lot on there that grabbed my ear, apart from the singles. Maybe album #2 will appeal more to me, as long as Scott Weiland can keep it clean........

/\ ya theres a few high points but overall I give it only a 5. Hopefully numba 2 will be better, I think they kinda rushed this compelation, and it shows.

Good group, GN'R's roots stay with the band, heh.

I just wish Weiland would kick his drug habit once and for all.
