Do you think any of the bandmates have confronted Axl about lack of new material/recording/studio time?

I would love the idea of the band giving Axl an ultimatum.

Hell, could you imagine Dizzy telling Axl where to go?

IIRC didn't Matt try to rally the others to stand upto Axl but when the opportunity presented itself only Matt said something?

I'm sure something along those lines were mentioned in Duff's book.

I saw a thread the other day; 'What's stopping the band recording without Axl?'

They could write something together and ask Axl to sing on it and go from there.

This isn't an accurate observation. Bumblefoot can't book anything besides sporadic appearances @ small venues because of GN'R's more frequent planning after 2009. He fits in appearances with well followed musicians like Lita Ford and Salem where he can. You are delusional if you think a player of Bumblefoot's calibre would be workless without Guns N' Roses. And that doesn't even consider his elaborate producing committments with numerous upcoming talents.

Yeeeah. It is NuGNR's fault that BBF can only play small venues. It has nothing to do with the fact that he doesn't appeal to a very large audience. Good call on your part, sherlock. Again, it has nothing to do with 9 out of 10 Americans not knowing who BBF even is.

In fairness 9 out of 10 Americans don't even know what a salad is so that's not saying much.

Fuck you. We have salad bars all over the place. I know you were kidding but really?
