OH WON'T YOU PLEASE TAKE ME HOME:  The WaPo's Chris Richards attended a "Guns N'Roses" (i.e., "Axl and Friends") concert late Thursday night, and he did not care for it:
To call it a train wreck wouldn’t be right. Train wrecks are fast and violent. This was like being stuck in gridlock traffic behind a garbage truck in August.... Rose has surrounded himself with sloppy, unimaginative players who make him sound dated, safe and sexless. They had no command of pace or rhythm Friday. Drum fills were dashed off. Guitar leads were hurried. And anytime Rose left the stage for one of the dozens of breathers he took throughout the set, the band would wander off into instrumental dead zones, as if trying to discover the intersection of pathetic and insulting.

  1. Sounds like he's working on a "live" companion album to Chinese Democracy.
