Yeah, that's their 3rd album...I heard it's good. "Avant Hard" is their second album. I have their 1st one, "On the Wires of Our Nerves," which is really good.
I think the last thing I heard from Aphex Twin was "Come to Daddy," which is one of the most bizarre videos I've ever seen.
I loved GNR back in the day...and I like Buckethead...but he's no Slash. I wonder if "Chinese Democracy" will ever see the light of day. Axl has gone through so many lineup changes in the past 10 years.
I was watching Conan a few weeks ago...and Slash was the guest musician with the Max Weinberg 7. They talked to Slash at the end of the show...and he looked and sounded great. Very coherent and animated...I guess laying off the smack can do that to you.
