  1. Azzof true intentions was to secure a reunion. The guy has a lot of stroke in the music industry.

    But well I dont blame him, CD was getting delayed and delayed, he thought in terms of money doing a reunion would be a good idea, I know you and Gunner PT will not be in the favor of it, but as a Manager he wanted to make money, any manager would want to make money some other way

  2. I think Izzy basically just played his parts and left. Axl and Slash probably did UYI a little different to the way Izzy would have. Axls lyrics and vocal melodies definitely means he influences the records a lot. Izzy didn't seem attached to UYI as Axl was. Slash seemed proud of the achievement.

    Axl seemed more receptive to working on everybody else's material than the rest of the band did. Axl never publicly distanced himself from the others' material in the way Slash and Izzy did at times. Axl seemed like he was the point guard while Slash was more of a shoot first 2-guard. Izzy just wanted to to play d and rebound, but teams started keying in on Axl and Slash with double teams so they wanted him to start scoring more.

    Wait a sec, wasnt Axl the one who dint show up for the first 6 to 7 months of the illusions recordings? Everyone has good and bad qualities whether its Axl or Slash and as far your claiming that GNR is Axl's baby, then you are absolutely wrong, If Robert Plant releases an album without Jimmy Page and Paul Jones, would you call that a Led Zep album?

  3. The whole line up of AC/DC and Pink Floyd din't change, If Brain Johnson releases an album without Angus, Malcom (I know he is sick now) and Cliff Williams, then it will be totally alright to call it an AC/DC Album?

    No, but its different. Axl founded GNR. It's his creation.

    Yeah and Tracii Guns composed the riff and solo of SCOM and who the hell needs Duff Mckagan when you have the multi talented Ole Biech

    Obviously Duff is more important than Ole in the historical persepctive, but Axl was always the indispensible cog. Others have contributed to varying degrees, but GNR was and is Axl's baby. That's why its hard for him to do things outside GNR. He is so GNR that he can't not be GNR.

    Absolute bollocks. It is no more or less 'Axl's baby' than it was 'Slash's', 'Izzy's' or 'Duff's'. I would agree with you if GN'R were a Motorhead or NIN's set-up by which one member dictates the nature of the band, but this was never the case with GN'R. The music they made was so democratic. Izzy's songwriting and Slash's guitar were at least, as important to Guns as Axl's lyrics and voice. There are songs for instance which Izzy brought into the band which Axl had no input on.

    Axl is a collaborative artist yes. He works best with a creative assistant but he's the director, the visionary if you will. Axl clearly was the focal point as any great frontman is. I'd rank Izzy second in terms of overall importance in the band's legacy. Third place would be a close race between Slash, Robin Finck, and Paul Tobias. I'd probably give Slash the slight edge, but I don't think you can give an accurate measure of Robin or Paul's overall contribution just yet. They both saved the band at one point and breathed new creative life into it in ways that haven't yet been fully recognized.

    But yeah I agree with your basic premise that Axl operates more democratically within the material than either Izzy or Slash.

    Are you related to Gunner PT or Wkuk?

  5. CD is an amazing album, it has some excellent songs, my problem is that It should not have the GNR name, when Paul McCartney goes in the studio and records, he doens't releases the album as The beatles, When Robert Plant releases an Album, he doesn't uses the Led Zeppelin name. Axl should just get over the GNR name, if he thinks he is a good musician and wants to make music for the fans then he should just use his name and not a name which had Major contributions from other members who made the name famous.

  6. The weird thing is that she herself sold all her wedding pics, videos, letters from Axl and now she is saying she has only one picture, lately she has been posting things regarding Axl, maybe she wants him back in her life? But I guess after all the lawsuits and TB being on Axl's head, Axl would not want to be with Erin even though somewhere I know Axl still loves Erin, but really all that fighting and physical abuse was crazy man, all I can say is best of luck to both of them in their personal lives

    Yeah, it feels like she wants him back in her life.

    Didn't Axl wrote "love's so strange"?

    If Slash went back with Meegan (a girl he didnt favor when being described in his book) then I guess it's possible for Axl and Erin to go back together.... If only TB wasn't in the middle doing all kind of macumbas and black magic so that Axl doesn't leave them out of his testament :lol:

    Jokes apart, there was an Enemy List given to Axl, who knows even Erin's name would be there, I know even Stephanie's name would be there, Today if Axl gets married and has Kids then later on most of the property/invesments will go to his wife and his kid and not his housekeeper/nanny, Im not pointing out fingers at anyone, but there are people who have been putting a lot of negative things in Axl's mind

  8. DUFF MCKAGAN To Release 'How To Be A Man' EP Featuring IZZY STRADLIN, JERRY CANTRELL

    Read more at http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/duff-mckagan-to-release-how-to-be-a-man-ep-featuring-izzy-stradlin-jerry-cantrell/#UtXZkIrI7OEYQ0uT.99

    available May 5!

    So sad to see this kind of news buried in a dead corner of the forum.

    This news should be on the main Forum, Duff and Izzy making music is more interesting and more GNR than Bumblefoot or Pitman and Ferrer DJ'ing using the GNR Logo

  9. If there is a reunion show then Slash won't even show up cause he is so full of himself, Axl will be always be on time, Slash should have the balls to go and say Sorry to Axl that how much he hurt Axl, like man Axl could not write music for 7 years cause of the hurt, Slash is touring and releasing so many albums for the fans so Axl could not tour and release new music, its all Slash's fault

    Gunner PT and Wkuk will like my comment

  10. It was a really good show, looking forward to season 2, Steven Adler could have played the Role of Danny, I wish Mia Kirshner had a bigger role, Over all it was pretty interesting, lets see what happens in the next season
