Velvet Revolvers finsihed. Looks like they've all lost interest. Looks like its back to bar bands for Dave Kushner

only 4 days before gnr performing at the hof

from what i see things, slash has no problems playing with the old guys. he's not exactly blaming axl. but if you stop to analyze it: duff is ok with everybody, izzy as well, steven could feel a little bitter towards axl but he is dying for a reunion... so, it's up to axl, apparantelly. could be izzy, being the reclusive guy he is.

so, probably axl and izzy are the ones not allowing it to happen. and if axl was up to do it but his management rejected it, i would lose a lot of respect for the guy.

Doubt it's Izzy. Didn't he jam with Slash/Duff/Steven at the 20th anniversary of AFD a few years back and has also mentioned in the past that he would be up for a reunion with the original 5 guys. Really is a shame that Axl can't put differences aside for a couple of hours to jam out a couple of songs.

I first noticed Axl's fondness for being surrounded by yes men when watching the making of Don't Cry home video way back in 1992. It was some scary shit that someone would be so insecure as to need people to act like that. From Beta to Del James to Dizzy to Jarmo to some people on here who blindly insist that he isn't to blame for anything - its scary to see people blindly support anything he wants no matter how out there. I just got a big stack of 170 old rock magazines from late 1980s and early 1990s and interview after interview with bands like Faith No More and Metallica (and GnR) talk about how difficult a person Axl is who will throw his toys out of the cot if he doesn't get his way. Beta enables this shit because it saves her cleaning some regular person's house earning $4.50 an hour. It's sad to see people take advantage of Axl this way and sad to see that Axl wants to be treated like this.

Slash has made his feelings clear about performing - he would like to. It's pretty obvious that he can't infiltrate the Axl camp which has about 10 levels of security and get through to communicate. He has tried, remember he did turn up to Axl's house to try and talk which Axl's camp turned into a hate campaign against Slash. It was actually a pretty cool thing to do to try talk to him directly but he couldn't get through the guards. So Slash is just communicating his feelings through the media which is his only choice I guess. Some of you guys that are twisting something completely innocent that Slash has said are really scraping the barrel to find shit that just doesn't exist

Axls current band have this relationship with him too by the looks of things. Why he needs to surround himself with all this bullshit i'll never understand.

great playing from the slash man

Its a guns epic without the piano and synth unlike most of the other epics. The continuous evolution of the slash's riffing is pretty cool and Axl's outro is some of the best stuff he's ever written.

Axl's rant at the end of coma is brilliant!

both had the pipes but freddie the better showman by miles.

If this statement is true then I interpret it as Guns n Roses (meaning nu-Guns) aren't performing. Doesn't mean Slash and co won't perform together with Axl.

The quick single note riffing doesn't sound generic at all and is pretty catchy imo. Chorus sounds very reminiscent of "We're all gonna Die"

life's sweet drug is killer. Overall I prefer 5 o clock somewhere.
