Maybe that's what the thread was about, but someone brought up Axl's integrity as why he isn't interested in a reunion. We all know it's not his integrity or whether he needs the money...it's because he's a stubborn son of a bitch.

I didn't lobby for a fan club. It's not my fault that anybody wakes up one day to see the light. It may be "just my fucking opinion", but it's one that few shared before and many share now. I didn't cower, I didn't back off. I had an opinion and stuck with it. Why that makes me a bad guy now is beyond me. I've had very, very few posts bragging about how right I was.

Not bullshit. I was told that for years. Now it's my turn.
What's good for the goose...

It is what it is. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Then I guess I love me because I can't agree with anything else you say either.

I don't think too many more people would tune in to hear the classics played by a lineup they don't respect to be worthy of playing those songs.
Oh, I agree, but more people would watch people they didn't respect play songs they love than people they don't respect playing songs they don't respect.

I don't like the propoganda at places like HTGTH, but I think we need to be careful not to go too far negative as well.
That's what i'm getting at. Buzz was saying alot of overly 'negative' things. Other than the album coming out itself, he was right about everything else.
Time has vindicated him.
I knew it would, in fact, I said that many, many times. People bitched at me and bitched at me, but I said I would be right and for the most part, I was. Not perfect, but who is? It's not because I was lucky or it was predictable that it would flop...there were a lot of people that thought I was nuts.
I always said I didn't think the album would ever come out. I still believe had Azoff not come in, it still wouldn't be out and the ONLY reason it is out was to pay off the record company. That has to be the only reason, because there's no other excuse for releasing an album that is as unprofessional as CD is. I get that some people like it, but the production, mixing, and booklet are pathetic at best. CD was a business decision for a brand, not a band.
I never wanted CD to fail. I really didn't, but I saw no other option.

It depends how you look at it.
It could be said there is integrity in that he will stick to his grudge rather than forgive a person for the sake of dollars.
I don't know or understand why Axl feels like he does about Slash...and like any fan from back in the day I wish he didn't - but at the same time I do respect that Axl can stick his ground against all odds - public opinion, millions of dollars....whatever else. One has to respect that on some level.
Why does the forgiveness have to be for dollars? Fuck the money, fuck the reunion, just grow up. Whatever happened happened 20 years ago. It's long past time to get over it. If you want to hate him for some other reason, fine. But if you're still mad about anything that happened 20 years ago that you're not willing to even talk to a guy that was a friend, you need to get over yourself.
No, there's no integrity in any of this. If Axl had integrity, he would not be touring (well I guess technically, he isn't) or releasing albums as Guns N' Roses. Sorry, his integrity went out the window at the VMAs.
