I'm hopeful something will surface.

Slash postponing Myles is a very good sign.

When you consider even DJ did a better remix....it would actually be kinda nuts to assemble a band like this and not do anything.

I didn't say he rage quit. I said it's pretty obvious from his version of events that he just couldn't be bothered dealing with Axl's ways. Slash and Duff are founders and key talent within the band - they have a right to want to set the terms. This guy on the other hand is just a label producer - these blokes change with the fashions at the label - there's always another 'it' guy to get the sound they want.

I'm not saying Axl's not hard to work with, just sounds like this bloke didn't try too hard, basically quit on the first night.

I can be critical of Axl but this straight up sounds like this producer just wasn't willing to work nights.

I mean with proper planning he could have changed to night shift mode so that start times of midnight-3am were not a case of being up past your functional hours.

It seems kinda like the guy was cut that he had to work nights, then when Axl didn't have the songs done and ready to go he just bailed.

I think Axl's hiding behind handlers and so on is fundamental to the break up of the old band, but at the same time if he wants to work nights I think he's important enough to the project that he be allowed to.

I don't want this to sound disrespectful to Axl but it's possible he should have.

If you go over the 'evidence' of the past there's an absolute ton of evidence to suggest Axl suffers from some type of mental illness - diagnosed or otherwise. Perhaps he's just a creative genius or a little eccentric or whatever, however so many of his symptoms are similar to those of people with certain issues that it makes me raise an eyebrow.

We all know the things: the rage incidents, the criminal record, the problems with his wives, unusual behaviours, ostracising himself, unnecessary secrecy, people being treated as either saints or devils, believing a version of the truth not perceived by others, acting against his own self interests, apparently wide mood swings between his usual 'nice' Axl and a person people are afraid of.

Add that in to the very legitimate non-illness reasons Axl has to act in this manner: Many business types in music ARE untrustworthy, the general public IS watching him because he's famous, there IS a shit ton of pressure from labels and fans and so on, and you have a situation where a person's career and life situation might be compounding and exaggerating aspects of an existing mental illness.

As for it being a miracle cure. I'm not so sure - aside from forgiving slash - a lot of these improvements have been gradual from at least 2011 era if not a bit before. Which is also the time where he started visibly gaining weight which is a common side effect of such medications.

To me it could easily be that he started medication 4-5 years ago or more and that some time was spent adjusting the dose and so on and here we are.

Although it might seem like a miracle, maybe it's just a long term illness finally getting some treatment.

Anyway, obviously it's speculation, but to me it's quite plausible, what's the alternative? That Axl just decided to stop doing all these problematic things that have made him and others so unhappy for 30 years or more? Seems strange to me.
