Would your opinion change of Axl if he fired all the band?

Some posters pine a lot about the old band reuniting.

I'm curious as to what people would really think about that in terms of Axl firing all the guys who have currently stood by his side, some of them putting more than a decade into GnR, and a couple of them putting years into the band and never getting a chance to have their own material recorded by GnR.

To me it would be a real dick move of Axl to do that. I feel all the current members deserve to record and release at least one album together.

So what do you all think?

As a music fan, I'd love to see Axl go into write/record/release mode for the next few years and see him release 2-3 more albums with this current band over the next five years. Then, do a one-off album and tour with the old band. Then ride out his career releasing fun solo albums every couple of years. An acoustic album, a piano album, etc.

clearly Beta and Fernando should pick the next lineup, it is their band

I don't think these guys deserve to be in the band in the first place. Sure, it'd be a dick move, but it would be a long overdue dick move.

He's fired his whole band before....

[Rustycage]

Can he fire himself instead and go solo like he should have done 15 years ago?

Firing Bumblefoot is something I'd see as unforgivable, considering the personal sacrifices and hardship the man put himself through to keep the band going even after his injuries. If Axl claimed rights to the band because he kept things going when everyone else was fucking their own lives up with drugs and alcohol, Bumblefoot's earned rights to remain with GNR as long as he wants to be a part of it.

That would be awesome, seriously he needs to get out of the band. He should be like those old singers that got session players rather than build a band. Seriously he could make a comeback if he did that but as we all know it's not gonna happen.

Some of you remember that kid Sebastian Bach had playing guitar for him and eventually left because he was a pain in the ass? That's probably what Axl doesn't want and if he let all these seasoned pros go, he's going to wind up hiring a bunch of kids to back GNR? He'd be better off doing a reunion or not going on with GNR at all.
