Very true, I think they all needed to prove their worth and status independently so they weren't forced to work it out within the confines of GNR. It's just a shame that Axl didn't have the balls to do it as a solo endeavor, like the rest of them.

Don't underestimate how she came across on the screen as Rachel, I think generally speaking most if not all guys will never even notice a girls 'weakest features' if her character/attitude/personality are great, she takes good care of herself and has a sense of style. Jennifer-as-Rachel had all that and then some.

I recently saw "the one with Ross' girlfriend" on a plane, and it's hard not to fall head over heels with her in that one...

This day-n-age, I'd say Alison Brie and Jennifer Lawrence are sort of modern-day Jennifer Anistons. I can't help but smile whenever I see them in an interview or talkshow.

I'd say songwriting skills as much as it is about songwriting credits. Duff has written or helped write numerous songs on AFD and the UYI's (RQ, It's so Easy, So Fine, PC, Civil War, GiTR, ...) and a good deal of those are either hits, or stand-out deep cuts (if only musically in some cases). Dizzy has three co-writing credits on CD (IRS, TWAT and SoD), but I think it's fair to say that TWAT and SOD are about as Axl as you can get so I'm inclined to say he probably just wrote his parts and that mr. Rose was being kind by including him in the credits.

To me it's another indication that the whole CD era might end up being downplayed a bit in this reunion, but that's obviously just speculation on my part.

I'm not so sure about that, if republican would be able to prove this, it probably would be good grounds to repeal a number of his accomplishments. If they truly believe he doesn't meet the requirements to serve as president, they should pursue it, they can probably get the supreme court to nullify obamacare, which as we all know is a wet dream of theirs.

Hey SG, we agree on a political issue, who'd have thought it was possible

Disagreement is good, that's how we learn and eventually come up with better solutions. I like your stance on this, respectfully disagreeing with someone after a healthy debate is what honest and intellectually curious people do. I'm curious though, why is it the total opposite of what you believe? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that there's a big chance that if you look beyond the 'socialist' stigma he proudly carries, you'd find a lot to agree with (like, apparently, the majority of Americans according to polls on the issues).

The wall is just crazy nonsense, totally infeasible. But the deportation of illegals I actually support. Illegal immigrants are in the US uhm... illegally, so deporting them is just following the law. Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants though, so as long as they're going through the vetting process, I don't feel they should be deported. That kinda forces the government to analyze the individual cases more quickly, so then can send the rejected ones back ASAP, without sending people back that truly deserve refugee status.
On the travelers, we've had this discussion already, but it's completely impractical to implement this given that most Syrian terrorists never entered or left the Syria or Iraq legally anyway there's no way to know if they've been there. Most ISIS terrorists come from wealthy European countries, and I can't fathom the US banning everyone who's recently been in Europe from entering the country.

Spoonman as well, probably. But yeah, that entire post was dead-on. I wouldn't mind AIC opening for Guns, but maybe they would be better off with a more modern band. A7X (although I'm not that into them) would be a great fit, can draw enormous crowds, and it's no secret that M. Shadows loves everything GNR and is very influenced by Axl.
