Imposter rules!

The Izzy talk was getting boring. Read back through the pages. It's got a 99% chance of being bullshit.

The Bullshit-O-Meter broke when the dude went all "I know a guy, who knows Izzy's housekeeper, who said he's rejoining his old band".

MyGNR deal with that kind of stuff daily.

And exactly what Shaq said, is the reason CD has some issues.

If Axl would've just let a raw band record the album - Axl, Bucket, Robin, Paul, Tommy, Brain, Dizzy & Chris... and just left that material OR when he re-recorded, had those same people involved, it would've came out more fluid to judge solos, technical ability, the layers of the album, etc.

But by having everyone, other than maybe Beta, on the album, it deluded the watering hole with too many people swimming in it.

I hope that new albums are on the way, AND they have solid contributors to them as a band effort. People bashed Oh My God for being Axl and a bunch of session musicians, and ironically, nearly 10 years later - that's exactly what haunted CD. The same exact thing.

I hope the next album has a straight lineup, whether a new variation, or a reunion.

GO INTOXICATED

That's Guns N' Fuckin' Roses all the way!

No they're not. CD is released in a week.

Seriously, you old Gunners need to re-read the memo, then read it again. Only Axl is an essential. Now if you believe that GN'R died in 1993, that's your personal belief.

But in reality, GN'R went on (in a limited fashion) with Axl & Dizzy teamed with a whole new group of guys.

Axl will get sponsors, label support, management, and at least 2/3 recognition as - Guns N' Roses.

I know you believe, what we all believe, that GN'R was Axl, Slash, Duff & Izzy... but in Axl's mind - he's GN'R.

GN'R = NIN

Axl = Trent

He's the only non-replaceable member of the band. I can honestly say that if Axl died, and left the GN'R name to Izzy in his will, then Izzy teamed up with Slash, Duff, Matt & Dizzy, and hired a new lead singer, called it Guns N' Roses.... I would NOT go see it. 'Cause it ain't GN'R without Ax.

Axl is traveling around on the name, that Axl, SLASH, DUFF, IZZY & STEVEN built. Funny, nobody had these issues when Steven was fired. When Izzy left. I didn't see any "it ain't GN'R without Popcorn" signs.

CD, an album over a decade in the making, is being released in a week. Slash & Duff should've just STAYED. They had no reason to leave. They had equal shares (no ownership tho) in profits. If they'd just done their thing, shut the fuck up and let Axl do his, sat back and recorded and collaborated on Axl's time table, they could've done ALL THEIR SHIT, solo work, VR, all that shit... and STILL been apart of GN'R.

They - fucked - up

'Cause now, when their solo careers are going downhill and VR is dead... Axl will still have GN'R. He'll survive.

They burnt bridges for no reason in the long run, except an estranged friendship and a loss of money. Smooth...

Axl is the essential. I wouldn't have said that, if it weren't for the fact that Axl turned around and REPLACED THEM with more talented and capable musicians (Bucket, Ron, Tommy, Brain).

In 15 years, even if a reunion is around the corner, Axl proved himself the victor. And if that reunion happens, the slightest slip, the least little bit of them getting out of line -

I knew 5:00 going platinum, sounded weird. No way that drink coaster went platinum.
