The sarcasm meter just broke.
Well seriously. We have a bunch of fanboys that seem to be upset Tommy Hilfiger kicked Axl's ass. So fucking what? Never liked Axl cause he could kick ass I liked him for his musical talents. The rest who cares? Could he have beaten Vince Neil? I don't care.

Axl should get in Ultimate fighting and go against Brock Lesnar. The all mighty invincible Axl would win in a record 2 seconds.

Totally. We all said it from the get... WAL-MART.
That was the better deal. Regardless of how lucrative BB's was, or replacing Riad on the album with something else to avoid the PA sticker...
Wal-Mart knows how to move product. They know how to move these albums, and CD would've been coddled by them, and they would've made sales be ALOT more, even with an inactive GN'R.
Perfect example...
This September, Foreigner is releasing an exclusive new album at Wal-Mart, that's gonna be a 3-disc set. Disc 1 - the new album. Disc 2 - classic hits, redone with new vocalist Kelly Hansen. Disc 3 - DVD featuring live performances.
How much will this be? $11.99. For all of that - $11.99, and Wal-Mart is gonna pimp the shit out of it.
This would've been a dream release for CD, and not that unfeasible. You release CD like this, with Disc 1 - the album with alternate track to replace Riad. Disc 2 - GN'R classic (what they'd play on tour) remixed and redone by the new band, as a bridge to a new era. Disc 3 - DVD featuring various live performances spanning 2001 to 2007, and an intro by Axl himself explaning the album's evolution and the band's lineup changes.
How much? $11.99. Would've been brilliant for this era's GN'R, and sold like hot cakes, and Wal-Mart would STILL be pushing it.
Garth Brooks was another one. Released a 3-disc Greatest Hits set a couple years ago. Discs 1 & 2, were a double-disc of greatest hits, and Disc 3, was a DVD featuring ALL of his music videos, including new ones. How much? $11.99. Sold like gangbusters.
A set like you mentioned or something similar was absolutely needed for this album ti have any chance at succeeding. But Axl didn't care.

I love me some Guns N' Roses. I love Chinese Democracy. I personally think Axl is the most talented entertainer living now that Elvis & MJ are both gone. Having said that, I'd love to sit him down and ask just what the fuck he is thinking.
In so many words, I'd ask your exact question.
Both Elvis and MJ got larger than life and died. You could argue strongly that their enormous fame led to their demise. Not saying that Axl put the brakes on things to prevent becoming TOO famous, but that has happened for whatever reason (not Axl putting on the brakes, but him/GNR peaking early and not sustaining that popularity). And they're all still alive. I think there's a strong possibility that wouldn't be the case if the band never broke up and kept going down their destructive paths.
Had GNR stayed together a couple of them would probably be dead by now. On the other hand on the possibility that they would've cleaned up anyways, GNR has to be the biggest joke in music history. A band that had it all and was on the verge of becoming one of the biggest bads ever and they fucked it up BIG time. Another case of a band becoming too big way too fast.

And enjoy it. Cause it's the only way you'll ever see any version of GNR being brilliant.

IF this is ANOTHER lawsuit, I hope some people will finally start to see the vindictive, bitter, hateful, childish, and 15-year old "girl scorned" that Slash & his wife have acted towards Axl for the last 13 years.
They won't though.
I see it. But I also see Axl being obssessive about Slash to the point of making hating Slash his number one priority. Really I just wish someone would trick them in the same room and lock them in there till they get all their shit out of their systems. Not healthy carrying such hatred. Let them take out all their frustrations so we can move on. That way Slash can MAYBE stick to one story and stop suing Axl every six months. And Axl can maybe move on and start concentrating on making music and releasing that music instead of bitching about Slash either himself or through Beta, Fernando, Del, Jarmo or anyone else willing to bitch about Slash for him.

This interview actually made me start leaning over towards Axl's version of the breakup
I'm not leaning towards Axl or Slash's version. Funny thing is that people should realize that this breakup was not just one person's fault.

There's a rumor that an elephant is in that picture.
I don't see it.
An elephant where? As a matter of fact where's the room?

Is Slash ever happy in a band? Seriously.

Now that's soooo 2001...
That really is one of the things that I still don't get. It puzzles me that people still use terms like "fake GNR" or "NuGNR". It's just Guns N' Roses whether you like it or not.
To me it's Axl Rose's solo project only he's to chicken to call it that.
