Enjoyable read. I feel like forums are usually mad at Axl because they think he "deserves better" ie. more fame, to make the best music, inspire the best possible legacy, etc and they see him as squandering a last chance at something special, be it a post-UYI legacy as big as the old band, or the old band reuniting (which I don't think will ever happen but people hope I guess.)

I think it's cool Axl's doing what he's doing. It would be cool if he did a podcast every once in a while or something/was a bit more active with the fans, but what can you do about it really. I don't think there's going to be anything new for awhile so I don't follow GN'R as intensely as I used to, but when there's a new album in the works I'll be around to listen to it.

I doubt it just because I am pessimistic and the powers that be demonize drugs so much but here's to hoping. A legal drug market would be insanely pro. Especially for hallucinogens...

I lied. Add 3 points for hygiene. That's a must :X

I like drugs but honestly the 10 years to be sober would be sobering so to speak. I wouldn't miss the drugs.

Eh hopefully he puts his money where his mouth is and makes an even better second record. I do honestly wish him a lot of success.
