Nope, I'm pretty sure he's always been the way he is. You just know more about it now in the internet/24 hour news cycle world we live in.
I agree - partly. Axl's always been Axl. Different is in the past, like 20+ years ago it was 5 young badass guys against the world, now it's one middle-aged bitter and botoxed rich man against the world, but mostly against his old buddies and fans. It makes a huuuuge difference in perception.

First of all, Axl should get a life.

I really miss the Stephanie bashing. I'd also like to read more Axl hatred about former school friends, or some nurse who didn't do her job when Axl was 3 years old. This man does not live in his past, hands down.

When you are as eccentric and egomanic as Axl, you get the control over the ship, sooner or later. Funny how the other guys, drunk and drugged-up, gave away everything, just to keep the band alive. All their efforts to save the band were turned out to be steps to destroy the band. Axl became the captain, got total control, everyone was fired or jumped off, then Mr. Rose navigated to his ship to the icebergs, claiming new beginning and progression. GN'R is a fuckin' Titanic today, the captain locked himself into his room and occasionally shouts out harsh comments about the long-gone mate and the boatmen. And doesn't do his fuckin' job, to lead the ship.

1. Neither Back Off Bitch nor its solo is famous.
2. You cited only ONE and a really BAD example.
3. Then you're waiting for an apology.
Alright. I apologize, I didn't want to hurt you. But I really think you are extremely wrong.
Anyway, the whole debate started with this comment:
Izzy created alot of those 'stand the test of time' riffs... but anyways...
Which is simply untrue. He created some, mostly TOGETHER with Slash, or Slash wrote it himself. Iz wrote some alone. Izzy, I love the guy, he has a lot of writing credits, but acting like You ain't the first or Think about You would equal Coma, SCOM or Locomotive is ridiculous. Izzy was a vital part, an important creator and an awesome, genuine guitarist, but I have enough of the 'Axl and Izzy were GN'R' bullshit.

You are talking nonsense about the music all the time. I really don't know if you do not hear it, or you're full of Slash-hatred. Anyway, good for you, live in your fantasy world.
#2107 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Tobias vs. Slash » 924 weeks ago
Slash is better singer
Yeah. And Steven Adler is the best guitarist GN'R ever had. This band called Guns N' Roses had potential, but they awfully mixed up the instruments. Slash should have been the singer, Steven Adler could have played the guitar, together with Paul tobias. A bedroom would have been perfect. Bass... well, Bucket can play anything, and Izzy on drums...mmmmmm. what a band. Axl could have been one hell of a manager with his balanced and precious personality.

Izzy and Slash had in my opinion the greatest interaction between a lead and rhythm guitarist. Go listen to the beginning of Locomotive one speaker at a time, then go listen to any VR song. If you don't think Izzy played a key role, you're wrong. He may not have played the only role, but he was as key as anyone in getting the AFD sound that made GnR famous. The guitars played off each other - in many instances not playing the same riff, but playing similar riffs that compliment each other.
I love Slash, but give Izzy his due. Slash has never been able to have that same relationship with a rhythm guitarist - Gilby was close, but he was replicating Izzy's role.
I agree mostly, but the bolded part is wrong. Izzy does not play on Locomotive. Slash did all the guitars.

back of bitch
Izzy didn't write a note in that song. Paul Tobias did.

izzy's rythm work helped make slash's solos special
Good for you. Izzy's rhythm is awesome also in SCOM, NR, Estranged, Civil War or Locomotive.
I wonder if some of the GN'R fans have ever heard a GN'R song.
