Mr Brownstone likes Barbes, didn't love GNR @ Hammerstein

What is your favorite place to drink in NYC, and what's the best night to go out?
There is no question about it: the best place for drinks, live music, etc. is Barbes in Brooklyn. Unless the date is June 10, 2006, in which case it's clearly the Bowery Ballroom. [Gothamist]

So what's Greenhalgh's take on the recent resurrection of Guns n' Roses? "I heard a bunch of leaked demos while we were in Europe this winter. As someone who can say they love Use Your Illusion II with a straight face, it was shocking to hear how bad the new demos were. Shocking. I actually did get to see the new GN'R at Hammerstein Ballroom when they were in NYC a couple of weeks ago. Axl actually sounded pretty good, but the new band lacks the bluesy looseness and sense of danger of the old one. You get the sense that these guys get fined if they fuck up. I'll take a coked-up, drunk out of his mind Slash any day over these guys. Either that, or I'm just not 12 years old anymore. Not sure." [Pitchfork]
