I honestly don’t think he was. Scott was a liar, and the photographer was repeating Blabbermouth bullshit. Axl said he was misquoted when he said he “loved Slash” which he meant as in past tense. That might have been what made Slash go to his house. And there’s no way he’s showing up at his house unannounced if there were serious plans in place. At this period, Axl was still trying to get Bucket back.

I do think every manager he’s had was planning to get the original band back together, and that’s why he doesn’t have a real manager anymore.

I think Reiner screwed up Misery too. They are both classics and I appreciate them, but they could have been so much more. Stand By Me had the perfect cast.

This I Love and Oklahoma were songs from the Slash era. But it seems like the majority of those songs weren’t pursued. What we know is that Robin, Tommy, Josh and Paul (I forgot about him) wrote a shitload of music over several years. Bucket and Brain wrote their own GNR music during that period on top of adding their parts on others. I think the songs from 96 Tommy talked about has kind of been overblown.

He’s obviously intelligent, but some men have real neurological changes as they get older or from the medication they take, where they can get more childlike; stubborn, irrational and immature. Some worse than others. It doesn’t have a lot to do with intelligence but temperament. He reminds a lot of my dad in his later years. Being ignorant doesn’t mean he’s stupid.
