Don't get why folks get giddy when others try to have a go at Axl's inner circle, how they're relationship is none of our biz but if anything she might actually get the point, I worry about Mrs. Slash and/or Steve's mom for the sake of debate.

Well, I think Slash's mom died a few years ago.  Ignoring that, none of them are managing their fake son's career into the ground.  When fake mom's and fake brothers and sisters do stuff like that, people notice.

interesting people are finally starting to question axl's finances publicly - by that i mean not us on the msgboards but stern/truck & now canter in a press interview.

i know it's all speculation but i'd say he prob has healthy personal wealth, but in terms of the GnR organisation i dunno so much. it may account for the neverending tour - a vicious cycle unto itself if the case: if you consider the late starts/curfew breaks that are still the rule rather than exception, the profit will never be as great as it could be after all these years even w/o the [real] top-hatted one..

ty apex-twin btw. very revealing interview all told.

don't mean to cause offense, but this is some bs.

he has "had to prove" a point or 1000 before this latest debacle.

it is not "back to" anything (& certainly nothing near normal!)
things remain as they've always been - on axl time.

the rnrhof was just another blip. it wasn't a seismic shift in the make-up of GnR.
the net result of it is simply: anyone left daft or deluded enough to care or have thoughts of an AFD/UYI reunion should have finally be disabused of those wishes. it's only a few more people have joined the rest of us in reality.

it is closer to 'whatever'. what you're left w/is the same situation we've faced for over a decade: you place your fandom @ the feet of axl's truculent whimsy & wait/hope as best you can - or you say "fuck it/catch you later" - or you can be an asshole about it & post on the internet how axl ruined everything.
me? i like to do all 3.

but yea. this rnrhof shit hasn't altered the picture one bit for me. maybe it's clarified it somewhat for others. like walter sobchak some nutjobs have taken this as the excuse to "draw a line in the sand", but to me they just haven't been following the script from the past 20yrs.....
the more things change the more they stay the same w/axl.
