Axl and Slash don’t have to split over any previous emotional turmoil. I think at some point Slash will get tired of walking on eggshells. This may be brought on by lack of cooperation with the rest of the band. Slash may choose to be the mouthpiece for the band and it may rub Axl the wrong way. At which point he will decide to end it. I can’t imagine that the current situation doesn’t burn him up inside. At some point even the money may not be enough for him to keep from holding back his feelings. I dunno, I think that GNR has long since sort of turned into a legacy band and new material or not, the reunion was always gonna be about capitilizing on that asepct of it all. I can imagine Slash being totally cool with making tons of cash playing the same setlists with GNR with slow drips of new (old vault) tracks to contribute to - especially since he has his own reliable outlets of writing new music for and is not having any conflicts with that such as Snakepit/GNR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the bigger draw than axl these days, in celebrity status and industry respect wise. He’s stumbling over his own words. He’s taking great precautions not to go in great details. He’s in self-preservation mode when he speaks, it’s not natural or organic and out of sync with how people answer questions. We see him slowly reaching the tempest. He knows the band is in a collective state of creative discontent with GNR. If you think he’s oblivious to this or simply doesn’t care, that’s on you. It’s one thing to accept your fate, it’s another thing to not be aware of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is how long can he go along with the charade. But I think more importantly, how long can Axl believe Slash is on the same page as him. Let’s see what happens, no one knows the future. But we are all aware of the past…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 OT: Didn't someone on here about a month ago say Duff was on a radio show and said GNR would be announcing some other new US dates around the Daytona show? I guess that's not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
