Axl doesn't want the hassle of an industry manager. An industry manager will badger him about a new record and keeping a good public image. With Team Brazil he can regularly go on holiday with them (touring), have something he's always yearned for (which is a family) and then go home again and forget everything for a while.

Team Brazil facilitate that. The reason they are so willing to allow Axl to do as wishes, without regard for the GNR brand, is because what would they be otherwise? Do you think in the unlikely event of Axl firing them they'd be taking calls from people like Lars Ulrich with offers?

Fernando and co get to live the 'American dream' lifestyle and Axl gets to live the Axl lifestyle (which is comprised by enjoying his lavish pad, spending his money and occasionally touring). GNR has become almost like a hobby.

FERNANDO needs to be fired. He's like Axl's bandaid. SOMEONE needs to rip it off

Not criticizing him or anything... but doesn't it looks like he got botox done again?

Seems like nothing has changed here since I was gone.

Ageed. Nothing Changed. That's the shame of it

Prostitute.

I agree...Prostitue...NO POLL??

Chinese Democracy is the best album, Axl perfect.

I agree, at first I only loved a few songs but noticed that the others got better the more I listened to them.

Now, in my opinion this album is the best of any G N' R's.

Madagascar, brilliant; now I understand why it was chosen for the MTV spot.

Speaking of Madagascar, I wonder if Axl has figured out yet to omit animal products from his diet?

Great work G N' R's team!!! And Buckethead is a brilliant addition!!! Keep the funeral bucket funny guy!!!

It was a long time ago......Buckethead is great on all the songs that were chosen to be on CD. Prostitue IS THE BEST GNR SONG IN HISTORY. Listen to it like 5 time and realize it.
