Why is Axl so much more affable these days? If he is or wasn't back then.

Good question. He's older? Wiser? With a more secure support system? Or maybe he's just not getting out as much. ;)

He was always affable... until he wasn't. That was day to day. I think it took him awhile to adjust to the fame and power, figure out who was loyal, who was just there for the ride, adjusting to people's attitudes changing towards him. With the Matt era, the pressure of the sophomore effort after such a huge debut was tough as was the Stephanie thing and then the Erin/Stephanie thing. It was pretty harsh. He was pretty unhinged around that period.

Right now he is no longer in a position to be dealing with as much indulgence and idolatry as in the past. Earth to Axl.

And the family thing. Divorcing the family was whack, but hey, it may well have been the ticket. Like it or not, the mother/manager thing with Beta obviously works. Its the most stable life he's ever had.

Edited to add that I have no idea how volatile things may be behind the scenes the last few years. He seems well insulated, but he's gone through a lot of managers, label strife, Best Buy, etc. Can't be that calm, lol!

So you were around in the old days?
