You should ignore the provocators. They have nothing better to do than trolling in the topics. It clearly shows that the band doesn't do enough to get their attention, so they are looking for fights. Ignore them.

Then we have different music taste. I think Libertad is his worst work ever, even with the best headphones on Earth. Contraband is a close second. I can't stand Scott's voice in most cases. I like Myles, his singing and even his guitar work, which I find far superior to Dave Kushner's. I think that the Myles songs are among the bests on Slash I.

I've never said that your opinion was wrong, but I still don't understand how such a shining Slash album can be boring for a *music focused* Slash fan. Maybe Myles is the answer, since you hate his style. I think he's very good, although not the young Axl's league, obviously.

I really don't know what you guys are listening to. Was it Slash II or Slash I?

This album rocks.

This album is full of energy.

This album is full of life.

Being a moron or drinking too much booze are different things. I think Axl and especially Tommy are drinking much more than Steven these days. Steven is still brain-dead though.

monkey: I don't know if drinking effects Axl's work. I'd say yes, to a degree, cause his drunk accidents effect the shows for sure. I don't know if his drinking habit will further delay any album that is or isn't in his plans. If there is any plan except drinking a lot of tequila. But anyone who drinks this much that changes even his face, has a drinking problem.

Some of you guys here think that Axl met some fans and he happened to share drinks with them. I think he went to party and drink and some fans happened to be there. It's hard to go to any place and not find GN'R fans. He didn't run away, but drank with whoever was there. If it's the fan friendly moment for you, then be it. I don't share this opinion. I would agree with you more, if Axl wouldn't avoid their own meet and greets and backstage parties.

Don't wanna rain anyone's parade, but Axl has drinking problems. It's obvious. I think he'd drink and does drink with anyone (except Slash, of course). The only change is (which isn't that recent) that he's not a recluse (and health fanatic) anymore and goes to clubs etc. (As far as I know he's still boycotting the fan meet 'n' greets.) He meets random people at random places and drinks with them. If Steven Adler were doing this, he'd be a sad, washed-up addict.

I think it clearly shows the poor state of GN'R (and its online fanbase) that Axl doing this is supposed to be an achievement. Is it a bad thing? No, except the serious ongoing alcohol abuse. Is it a good thing? I don't think so. I hope that the GN'R Yearbook 2012 will not highlight that 'Axl went out of his cave and got stoned numerous times with random people'. Even the silence was more exciting back then. At least we could speculate. Now we can only guess if Axl's drinking the shots in the same order every night.
