You and your likes like to cite ASCAP to glorify Robin's contribution to GN'R songs. Well, do that in Slash's case, too. Unlike in the album booklet, he gets credit for the songs Axl robbed from him.
BTW anyone with half a brain cannot deny that WTTJ is a Slash song. He made the riffs and the solos. He made SCOM with his magnificent intro and those great guitar solos. He wrote all the other GN'R classics I mentioned. Only two GN'R classic was written by Izzy, YCBM and Don't Cry, with Slash's massive contribution to the first. (Slash is credited for both @ ASCAP.)
Did the others contribute to Slash's songs? Yes. Did they adviced changes, or had song structure advices? Yes. So did Slash with the others. It was a band, for Axl's sake. But for Axlites Slash was not more than a guitar amplifier. Fuck that shit. I don't give negative karma, but from this point I declare war against history revisionist. Fuck this Stalinist, Axlist bullshit.

HOLY FUCK CALM DOWN IT'S THE INTERNET.

I was merely pointing out that none of those songs were solely written by Slash. I was disproving someone's point.  In fact, two of those songs only have Axl listed as the writer. 

Now if we are talking about Slash's contributions to November Rain and Estranged, then yes, he had majorly important contributions, the songs would not be the same without his solos.  But did he write them? No. 

P.S.  The people who are trying to revise history are those trying to claim Slash wrote NR and Estranged.  But FUCK fact checking!  This is Fox News!

it shouldn't come as a shock to ANYONE that Axl and Izzy were the key writers in GNR.  Izzy was MASSIVELY more important than Slash when it came to writing.  Slash was the face of the guitar work, and the soloist, therefore he gets all the credit.

By "reunite", I am talking the rnrhof performance. He is open to it.

I think he meant more that he realizes he's in a tough spot.  He can compromise what he believes to not disappoint the fans, or he can take the beating everyone will give him for not playing with them. 

To me, the best part of this is the new music part.

SBQM is repetitive and redundant, just really dull.  Street of Dreams is cheesy as hell musically and lyrically I think and Axl's voice for the most part is annoying on this song.  ALTHOUGH the saving grace is the ending right when Axl kicks into "What this means to me is more than I know you believe...."  from that point on it's good melody and lyric wise.
