Ahh hey, I wasn't firing at you John, just sayin' in general.

And yes, my mates and I used to love getting hammered on a Friday and getting into it with the Scientologists who used to try to recruit on one particlar city corner.
The days of my youth!

My stance is pretty well known but I wouldn't mind this at all. The old GNR is done, we all know that. My reunion dreams are just that. There's too much water under the bridge.

Being annoyed at the RNRHOF thing is a seperate matter.

I just want as much quality music as these guys can pump out before they get too old and loose their faculties.

Izzy's work has bored me these last few years..solid but boring. Axl seems paralysed without his old wingman so bring him in, get him working with Ax and see what comes out.

Hell, it beats reading interviews with people who have heard hours of amazing music played on pianos at partys that I will never EVER be at.

Just one last thought on "AxlGate"..

If Axl had agreed to see Slash the night he showed up, he could have finished this so called "war" he is in.

Slash was there to talk and obviously listen. Axl had his big opportunity to say what hurt was done and what he felt was untrue and to outline to Slash what he wanted retracted in a public statement before the war ended.

Insead he refused to meet the man half way and then launched a particularly nasty press statement that could have ended Slash's career and friendship with Duff.

It baffles me that years later that, according to Marc Canter,  Axl plays the big injured party who won't speak with Slash until he gets his apology in public. Yet, when he had his big chance to get that ball rolling he refused to start the process and then shit on the guy who tried to break the deadlock.

Then he called Slash a cancer as his mother lay dying of that disease (and don't even try to say he didn't know about her because these guys have mutual friends).

Even then Slash remained diplomatic. I would have burned his fucking house to the ground.

My recollection is that Izzy and Matt said the worst things to the press about Axl. The others said the usual stuff about hangers on and a lack of respect. Let's put it this way, nobody was calling Axl a cancer.

Izzy is out there these days. I'm wondering if he is planning a comeback. Nice suit, I'm sure Axls gigs paid for it!
