Zakks the man..dead on though, there's no replacement for Slash, there's no replacement for Axl.

Too bad Slash didn't want him in the band...it would have taken the band to a new level for sure

Zakk was a terrible fit for the band when Slash was in it. They needed a rhythm player to complement Slash not another lead guitarist...that being said I could not see Zakk putting up with Axl's meglomania and Diva antics.........

I met Zakk after a Black Label Show in 06. One of the nicest musicians i have ever met, next to Lemmy. The hotel concierge tried to kick us out of the lobby because we weren't guests and he told the guy that we were friends of his and that we would be staying at the bar with him and the rest of the band. Total Gentleman. I asked him about when he jammed with Guns and he pretty much echoed what was said in the video. I also asked when he thought CD would come out and he said that he doubted Axl would follow through with it, which was a shame because he waiting for it just as much as us. Guess he was 2 years off on that one...

The guy is the scariest looking bloke in the world. But if you get the chance to ever talk to him, do it. He'll make you feel like you've known him for years.

I disagree completely. They had Paul Huge to replace Izzy, who wouldn't have toured anyways. Bsides, that version of GNR had to move into a brand new directon, away from Illusions. As phenominal as Chinese is Zakk said himself that the stuff he recorded with GNR sounded like Judas Priest on steroids. That's just too fucking cool.

Axl has diva antics sure, but so does Slash. Slash said in an interview he didn't want Zakk, as he didn't want Zakk taking away from his own personal spotlight. Slash doesn't work with anyone from Velvet Revolver anymore for a reason...oh but wait, it's cuz they couldn't decide on a singer. Wonder why that was...musta been Axls fault all right!!!

"Nah, you can't replace Slash, he's irreplaceable" - Zakk fuckin' Wylde.

;)

He said the same thing about Axl. I just don't get why when ppl like you post you have to be so biased about it.

Zakk rocks too bad he did n`t end up joining the band would love to hear him and Slash riffing their asses off dueling with each other Axl, Slash, Zakk, rhythm guitarist, probably Gilby, Duff, Dizzy and Matt holy shit that lineup would have done wonders
