It's funny these days we have to name everything, like he has to be bi-polar or borderline-personality or whichever diagnoisis they wanna throw at him. In the past he would have just been considered an excentric genius.

And it kinda sucks that the media likes to throw these labels around, it doen't do any good to fans, axl or those who do have these conditions other than create stigma.

As a fan I hope it's all untrue because it'd be great to have a tour etc, and as a human, well it sucks for Axl or anyone to be that unhappy.

yeah...seems I was full of shit. Sorry folks. Although pitman did say this:

"He invited me up to his house, like a guest house that was made into a studio, and we wrote music there for like three years just me and him. It was a great neutral zone without people bugging you and a lot of great stuff came out of there." (Chris Pitman, Talking Metal, 11/08/08)

I think maybe i got mixed up!

I'm going to go look for it at my local.

While i do like soundgarden and post 92 stuff as well, I really love the older rock music, and I like that someone is free and unafraid to just belt it out in that classic style!

I liked robin's parts on CD, and respect that he has a unique and interesting voice as a guitarist, but I just didn't like what he did with the afd material. I think DJ's style suits those songs better...will be very interesting to see what he does.

I can't wait for some love shows with him, i'm really exicited...just seems like a good fit with everyone else.

Sorta OT: But that russian girl axl was photoed with in 07 looked pretty damn fine to me from memory....
