Funny thing is that the situation is the same, although managers come and go. Only Azoff was able to organize things a little bit (maybe due to the close-to-break-up situation with the label), but even he wasn't able to get them on the road while the album was 'new'.

They shouldn't make a permanent decision about a singer, if it's this hard and they aren't sure about it in the long-run. Just get a guy they really like for one album, then see how it goes. They can change the singer album by album, it could work.

Beta can't even speak proper English. It'd be like me managing Guns N' Roses. How could she arrange a tour or get things done? It's a trainwreck.

I don't expect it that early, but a collabo on a song or two is very likely on a Slash III or Slash IV album (or on a Scott III). They'll never be in the same band again, but I think both of them are interested in working together, if it is only for fun and no band drama involved. Although Slash seemed to be the one most responsible for firing Scott, the singer always praised him.

DJ is a Hot topic version of Slash? I know that you are in love with Axl, so you support blindly whoever is playing in his cover band, but hey, it was really stupid.

Edit: sorry, I was really harsh. I was rude. I still disagree with your post, as I find it as another try that 'doesn't matter who plays guitar in the band, they are just different looking guys, the band is the same'. But sorry, I withdraw my 'stupid' remark and apologize.
