  2. i love this part LOL

    "In October of 2005 Slash made an unannounced 5:30 AM visit to Axl Rose's house. Not appearing to be under the influence, Slash came to inform Axl that: 'Duff was spineless,' 'Scott [Weiland] was a fraud,' that he 'hates Matt Sorum' and that in this ongoing war, contest or whatever anyone wants to call it that Slash has waged against Axl for the better part of 20 years, that Axl has proven himself 'the stronger.' Based on his conduct in showing up at Rose's home, Axl was hopeful that Slash would live up to his pronouncements that he wanted to end the war and move on with life. Unfortunately that did not prove to be the case.

  3. I have to give it to Duff...GNR went out with a whimper and not a bang.

    Suddenly in a very short amount of time they ruled as kings and were on the threshold of being even bigger and better than they ever were but in Duffs opinion they got too big to fast and there were too many people running interferance between the members.

    Think about it like this. You are a integral vital part of a band and have poured your heart and soul into making that band the biggest and best band on the scene. Your fans are rabid and the legions are loyal and love what you do. in a period of 5 years you have gone from being a bar band to playing stadiums, and just completed the biggest and longest touring run in history. You come back to the states to regroup and to revitalize. Suddenly your a paid employee of a whole new GNR corporation thatyou have zilch sayso about, your whole status is controlled by Axl. Your image and your imput are downgraded/demoted to please Axl, Your employment is at will and to Axls liking. Your at Axls mercy, on his dime and held hostage to his time. Your at held hostage to his "muse" and his current "vision" of what GNR is. You show up one day only to find that he has decided to add a good buddy chum to the lineup without consultation (Paul Huge) and rumours are that hes looking for another power guitarist to compete with you and or replace you all together, OR share the spotlight with you outright. You learn that the "vision" is to continue to write, produce, record and sing songs that do not reflect anything but that which inspires or is meaningful to Axl. You learn that what will be done and said is going to be vastly different in sound and scope than what the original vision was intended to be...So going to less pay and even less say in a "band" you were vital in promoting and making HUGE to be on standby status on beck and call.

    AFTER you had just written and played on 4 of the most successful albums in that era/ever.

    AFTER you had just rocked the world for 2 long years and been exposed to the big time.

    AFTER other artists sought out your playing and world wide praise and applaud recognize your sound as awesome.

    AFTER you had achieved fame and fortune as THE GUITARIST for GNR...suddenly Your image and place/music largely serveing AXl and Axls new corporation GNR. In essence you would have become the band for Axls solo album.

    Lets say for hypothetical purposes that Slash had stayed on board. Then what? Would Axl have shared the spotlight and the spoils or ...well what does he do now?

    WELL SAID!

    Axl should have blown up G N R right there in 96 or 97 at the latest when Matt and Duff left....and started from Scratch with a brand new band that plays G N R songs, ALA Slash!
