How close are Steven and Izzy these days? I think they're still friends right? Just hypothesizing but I wondered if Izzy is saying that he won't take part unless Steven is there... and it's fairly obvious the reasons why Axl (I think more than Duff or Slash) aren't convinced that Adler can pull it off and will end up letting down the whole gig. He's clean now but only relatively recently and maybe they think it's too much of a risk. What Axl probably doesn't get is that 90% of the fans wouldn't mind if he was slightly beyond best (err... look at Axl) but they'd still prefer him there (and btw I saw Adler play recently and he was TOTALLY ON POINT). When I was growing up and a massive GnR fan back in the day I naively assumed GnR was all about Axl (and a bit of Slash). It's only as I've grown up I realised how much of that band was influenced by Izzy (and actually, every single one of my favourite songs bar one is written by him!). Still crazy excited to have Slash, Axl and Duff share a stage again, but creatively it's hard to take seriously without Izzy (and Adler).
