I find the “Wizard of Oz” quote from Chris Cornell funny. The only other time Axl’s been referred to as “Wizard of Oz” is by Mick Wall in his book, W.A.R.: The Unauthorized Biography of William Axl Rose. I’m going to take a leap and believe Cornell read the book, and repeated Wall’s characterization of Axl. Also, with that quote Cornell was attempting to show solidarity with Slash regarding the whole GNR feud – whom he’d worked with. I tend to feel bad for any artist who took sides with any of the original members of GNR (prior to the reunion) because they walked into a situation blind. Ultima
