Scott does seem to have overreacted to Matt - but then again we don't know what has been simmering under the surface prior to now that caused this to explode.

I haven't liked the way Weiland has acted much since he has been in VR.  That said, as others have pointed out it must be fucken hard to continually get the GN'R questions, comparisons, reunion talk etc etc.  Just on that point - Axl may wanna have a look at how that played out, for some people the original GN'R (or I'll say at least pre 1993 GN'R - Slash n Axl) is all people are ever willing to accept.  No doubt similar questions and talk will continue to plague Axl and his employees, even if he does finally get the gonads to release CD.

Very interesting that Matt was the one to go into rehab meaning they had to can the Aussie tour.  I also over time have lost respect for Matt.  I used to like him but more and more he seems like a dick too.  His only fall back position is that Adler is probably too fucked to ever be phyisically capable of doing a full world tour by himself in the event the unthinkable happens at some point in the future and there was a reunion.

In the meantime I would assume he will hitch his wagon to whatever Slash and Duff do if he can.  Although it would be interesting to get their honest opinion at the moment of how they feel about Matt too, or whether it was just Weiland and he that had issues.

I would love to hear Izzy back contributing to the songwriting!

I think Marc even touches on the impact of the loss of Izzy and the effect this had on songwriting in that interview.

Well by now I assume most people have probably already seen this from Bulgarian Idol - but if you haven't it is piss funny!!!

Yeah I would definitely go again - even it was to hear exactly the same songs and no more new music.  Sure there would be other songs I would like to hear them play, but I just enjoy seeing them live - Axl could sing nursery rhymes for all I care, and I would still enjoy it.  There is something special about seeing a band like them live!

But even if I didn't know if it was Brisbane that the object was thrown onstage, I don't think it makes me any less of a fan.

If I hadn't attended the concert in my hometown then possibly you could assume that I might be more of a casual fan or not even a fan at all.

But at the end of the day I love GN'R.  I dont' necessarily agree with everything they do and how things are run all the time and I say so now and then - but hey that's just my opinion and take on the situation.
