It was really exciting and fun to follow in the beginning but it definitely ran out of gas and as time went by it became a joke.
I always thought Axl, Robin, Richard, Tommy and Brain would have made a killer band. Dizzy on keys.
By the time Bumble and DJ joined it was just time to fold and ask Slash back. It was more frustrating than anything waiting for the album. Knowing they were just recording the same shit over and over and looking back on it it's pretty insane that the album basically could have been released in 2002, and they made almost zero other material.
The NITL era has been great for the guys. Maybe it hasn't resulted in new music but everyone looks happy and healthy and I think it really put a giant bow on Guns n Roses legacy in rock and roll History. I never once thought I would see Axl and Slash together on stage and I've seen it 5 times now. It's fucking awesome.
