Something else we should remind ourselves of every now and then is that Axl’s mental condition probably has something to do with it too. The fact that he’s 63 and still needs Beta to take care of him is pretty telling. Without giving away too much detail, I know someone in my personal life who used to be an amazing guitarist, to the point where he could listen to a buckethead song and recreate it by ear, but then he developed a lot of the same issues that Axl has and had to start taking medication, and now he just strums a few chords, at best. These things kill creativity. If I were Axl, I’d consider having one of the other guys in the band write all the lyrics, but I can understand why it’d be hard for anyone to write lyrics that’ll be compared to WTTJ, Don’t Damn Me, etc. It’s a high standard to live up to. Dont mind me. Just trying to play devil’s advocate here, a bit.

A new section focused on the start of 2020 to June 2021. A crazy period for humanity with the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdowns and civil unrest, but a very uneventful period for Guns N' Roses. Obviously, this could have been a great opportunity to release some music, but the band had other plans: Axl did a cameo with Scooby Doo, Duff dusted off some old music, Richard learned orchestration, and Slash worked on music at home and launched a new pinball machine, while the band's management in the shape of Fernando was kept busy trying to continuously reschedule tour dates while working on book projects.  All the details found here: (47) 40. 2020-JUNE 2021: COVID-19, THE WORLD GRINDS TO A HALT
