i think that all in all baz has been good for axl on a professional level

he hooked trunk and axl up for that interview in 06, he got axl back into the studio and talked him into being on material that was gonna be officially released, and he has constantly praised axl in the press for a year or more..then when axl may feel betrayed (by baz possibly talkign with VR) baz says hes not joining them

i htink that IF baz would've joined vr then Axl may have done a disappearing act again...baz has shown axl that there are people who are loyal to him .... as much as i find him annoying i think Baz has helped axl get into the right state of mind to finally get CD in motion...we just have to wait for these damn "negotiations"

all that being said though, i dont think VR even has considered baz in the post weiland era so i dont think that Baz even had a decision to make in this matter

CHESTER, Calif. -- The brother of a girl who was killed on her prom night died Tuesday morning of injuries he suffered while driving home, officials said.

Billy Carrigan, 20, was on his way to the far Northern California town of Chester on Sunday after he learned of his sister's death earlier that day.

Christina Chavira, a spokeswoman for Enloe Medical Center in Chico, confirmed that the University of California, Berkeley, student had died.

Just outside town, Carrigan crashed his Toyota Tacoma pickup truck into pine trees along Highway 36. He had been in the hospital in critical condition until he died Tuesday morning.

Carrigan's sister, Jennifer, had been found dead Sunday afternoon by their mother inside the family home in Chester, about 150 miles north of Sacramento.

Jennifer Carrigan had been killed along with her date, Steven Furtado of Willows. Neighbors said the pair were stabbed.

Both were 18 and had gone together to the Chester High School prom Saturday night.

Family and friends said Furtado was a musician, scholar, athlete and Eagle Scout. He was set to graduate on June 6 from Willows High School.

Plumas County sheriff's deputies arrested 18-year-old Reyes Carrillo in the teens' deaths. Patrol Commander Gerry Hendrick said Carrillo had previously dated Jennifer Carrigan.

Carrillo was set for a court appearance Tuesday afternoon.
