Please, stop the personal insults, otherwise you'll look a mental Axlite fanboy.

Anyway, I think that whoever wants to hear the remake of one of the greatest albums of all time, by the worst line-up GN'R has ever had, and 15 years after the desperate try, is more mental than anybody else in the GN'R fanbase. I know that catastrophe tourism exists, but I see no point of revisiting the disaster 15 years later. What do you expect? Axl was trying to make them sound anything close to Guns N' Roses, cause their writing was sub-par and didn't have the GN'R feel at all, hence the rerecording. For once in his lifetime, Axl's inability to relase anything served the greater good.

First of all, a reworked AFD with Robin Finck and whoever else would be an assault against the GN'R legacy.

Second, I doubt that BH would have been there when they rerecorded those songs. That was under the disastrous Finck/Huge era, and BH came only after Finck left. So you'd get Robin Finck and Paul Tobias torturing the classics.

Slash "You're a Lie" Song Review — 5 out of 5 stars

With "You're a Lie", the first single from his forthcoming album, Apocalyptic Love [Available May 22], Slash comes out of the gate swinging.

A monolithic, distorted intro quickly gives way to an ultra-heavy and extremely catchy riff. You can practically feel the swagger of the legendary guitarist's fret work as the song moves into a brooding verse propelled by the bass wallop of Todd Kerns and pounding groove of Brent Fitz. With inimitable style, Myles Kennedy tells a story of betrayal. As soon as the anthemic hook kicks in, Kennedy's voice reaches impressive heights along with Slash's six-string fireworks.

After a simultaneously mean and irresistible bridge, a fiery guitar solo blazes with the right combination of blues gusto and heavy metal attitude.

Slash, Kennedy, and The Conspirators are everything that a rock 'n' roll band should be. They've got arena-ready choruses, mind-blowing riffs, scorching solos, and that magical chemistry that yields classic records. Make no mistake about it. They're as dangerous and daring as any of their previous projects, and they're out for blood on Apocalyptic Love.

"You're a Lie" is one of the best rock songs of 2012, and it's a precursor to what's bound to be one of the year's best albums. This rock-n-fuckin'-roll at its finest. Get ready to be knocked on your ass…

No reunion would change that. (I know you don't care about that.)

I fully support bigbri, since it's pointless to fake nostalgia with replacements of replacements. This line-up has no credibility. When it was (if it ever was...) about moving to a different musical direction, then the idea of replacements was some way acceptable. They lost me sometime after RIR '02, since the new songs were very disappointing for me.

But now, that there is no hunger in Axl for anything, but money, it's pointless to have the poor man's Guns N' Roses for these tribute shows, instead of the real one (or something close to the real one). I understand that Axl feels more comfortable with these employees, who accept all his primadonna nonsense and serve like servants. When they have enough and leave, he'll find another players. If he's only here for the money, then there is no point of a reunion. But if he has at least an ounce of hunger to prove the world his worth once again, if he's at least a little dedicated to the GN'R fanbase, then reunite. Now.
