Are you still stalking me?

Anyway, back on topic: Someone said Axl didn't need to bring in a management firm to have a reunion, but actually, he did.  Slash and Duff weren't going back as contract players unless it was beneficial to them.  Negotiating with Axl doesn't work (ask the record company), so he needed to bring in someone that represented him, but gave Slash and Duff someone they could trust to deal with.  It makes all the sense in the world if you step away from it.  If the supposed '06 reunion was really on the table, there's no way Slash and Duff were going to trust Axl again without a middle man.

No, you're not correct.  It's hard to claim to be a fan of a band that doesn't really exist.  The song CD (in demo version) sucks in my opinion.  Perhaps a small part of that is the drumming. 

It's probably best that you just don't reply.

I think this is pretty much proving the point I was trying to make.  A lot of these guys rock, but very few of them would be recognized by the general public as rock stars...and those they would recognize are mostly known for something other than playing bass.  Rock stars are out front in some type of role that brings them recognition (either the singer or lead guitarist usually).  Drummers, bass players, and rhythm guitarists are often appreciated by fans of that band, but they aren't by others unless they serve as the singer or spokesman for a very famous band.

The people that love Tommy's only claim is the replacements influenced alt rock.  Well, alt rock is what we have and it sucks, so good job and thanks a lot.
