Then why bother comparing at all.   

Cool Deal!

I agree that it would be great to hear all the songs with BH and from what we have heard so far, the songs are definitely great with him on there.   All I am saying is I wouldn't like the songs any less without him as I feel BBF is a great guitarist in his own right and has his own flair.

I think you're going a bit far calling Slash cheesy.   That has been his thing for 20 years and he still makes it look cool imo and a top hat and a cigarette is a far cry from BH's "gimmick".    BH as much as I respect him, is a bit over the top if you ask me, fine if he wants to wear what he wears but to talk through a puppet is a bit much.     I'd like to see what you'd say when BH is 45, still wearing what he is wearing now and using puppets to speak and talking about chickens.

Great Q & A.

I like how he didn't say no absolutely not about playing together for the induction.   Basically a you never know what could happen but as we all know, the ball is always in Axl's court when it comes to that.

Also Kudos for him for not outright bashing Axl in the book and it's amazing how people wanted him to do just that.

I have always liked how Slash handles himself in interviews, he really does seem to think before he answers.

Wow, I would have thought more people would have seen that movie.

James you never saw Jaws?

For me it's definitely up in Classic status.    It's one of those movies that made people just a bit nervous about swimming in the ocean right after you see it, I know when I was younger and at the beach in the ocean,  you can't help but at some point after seeing that movie, start to hear the title music in your head, which is classic also, John Williams IMO is unbelievable with his musical scores and how many movie scores he's made classic but I degress. 

I also think Richard Dreyfus was excellent in that movie as well.

First off, don't insult my intelligence, I have listened to the songs with BH and yes it's great stuff BUT as I said, I wouldn't like the songs any less, that's my opinion and I am entitled to it.   

Not everyone felt that BH was the end all be all of GNR no matter how great BH is.   It's based upon each and everyones individual feelings.   I can get the same charges from BBF as I did from BH, yes BH definitely had an edge by the way he played and how he looked.   He is very much like Mike Patton, who isn't afraid to go beyond the norm to get some great music in an unusual way.   

Doesn't mean GNR will never be great because he is now gone.   IMO and I am sure in other opinions.
