    I don't see Richard as the best fit for this band but I love his playing and I believe he would be able to come up with stuff that fit the songs. Never gonna sound as good as Izzy but if he's not available, I think Richard can do a good job.

    I wouldn't mind Melissa adding some things here and there (another Luther King speech? :P) as long as it's not all over the place as was the case in Axl's solo record with that Pitman piece of shit.

    I completely agree about the drummer thing, though. It would be a crime to use Frank "I'm the worst drummer Slash and Axl ever shared a stage with" Ferrer on the album instead of the legendary Popcorn. They have the chance to enhance their sound and have 4 of the 5 original guys. I'm not really hopeful to be honest but whatever... I can still dream.

    who do you say would be the best fit be it the case if Fortus isn't in it?

    i mean besides izzy of course

    yes i have seen 3 shows this year and im so happy seeing onstage douchery by fortus and non musicianship by ferrer

    lemme get this straight the only problem axl had with izzy was his lack of onstage douchery and his uncomfort with pissing away money 

    i'll take izzy's side regardless of seeing the machine

    keep bitching :D

    Slash

    Slash is a sweetheart. But every time we hang out together we end up getting tanked to bejesus. I remember one time we were hanging at Wembley Arena – we were doing The Gibson Night Of 100 Guitars. We were sat up there at the bar and I go: “Man, this fuckin’ sucks,” because they’d just closed it. Fuckin’ Slash just reaches into his jacket pocket and whips out a bottle of Jack Daniel’s and says: “We still got booze, dude. Don’t worry about it.”

    Who can drink more? I don’t think anyone wanted to challenge the two of us idiots – and Dimebag either. You put the three of us together and that was a holy trinity. And you gotta put Kerry King in for that contest too. Any night I’m not in the mood for drinking, I’ll just get Kerry to drink the motherfuckers under the table.

     

    Axl Rose

    What you see is what you get with Axl. The guy is a legend and a Black Label brother. He’s the shit. I played with Guns N’ Roses [in the mid-90s]. I was in Studio B and they were in Studio A. So I played Axl some of my shit, like 13 Years Of Grief. And he was like, “Zakk, what fuckin’ market are you trying to reach with that?” I told him, “I dunno, the fuckin’ farmer’s market?”

    So we ended up hanging and jamming together – me, Axl, Slash, Duff [McKagan], Matt [Sorum] and Dizzy [Reed]. And I was like, “Axl, when are you gonna start singing on this shit, dude? Let’s quit fuckin’ around here!” And that’s when Black Label Society was born, because I had all these riffs lying around, and I thought, “Fuck it, I’ll do it myself.” But it’s not because Axl is hard to work for. It’s because he cares. He had so much passion. And I’d rather have that than a douchebag who doesn’t give a fuck.

    What do I think of Chinese Democracy? The wife bought me a copy and it got smashed in my luggage, so I had to fuckin’ buy another one. No, Axl didn’t send me a copy. But he’s a beautiful guy.
