"Oh, you know seven, eight digit kinds of things."He added: "I am a pretty realistic kind of person, and don't expend energy worrying, 'What if?'. If I hear great music we did together, I respect it for what it was and appreciate it. But I'm not like everyone else around the band who wants to somehow try to recreate it because there's so much money to be made."Slash left Guns N' Roses in 1996. Axl Rose's latest band line-up recently completed a tour of Asia, and are currently on tour in Canada.http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/49184Related forum discussion:http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=158328Similar discussion from an earlier article:http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=158092&st=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
