I guess that stuff went for a charity auction.
Seems likely and probably so. I wouldn't see him keeping it for any reason. Glad it's going to charity since it will be worth a pretty penny.

That pic of Axl looks a bit scary.
If that guy sat beside you on a deserted subway train and looked at you with those wide eyes and that tash, you'd be thinking..."what the fuck...??!!!"I remain a massive fan and am heartened that the guy lives some sort of a peaceful life. Would love to see Beta out and a nice wife and a couple of kids in instead though. I look at Duff & Slash with their kids and feel that Axl would really relish that role.
I know right? It seemed he really wanted to be a dad back in the early 90s and even embraced the idea of having a step son. Maybe wanted to adopt too. Didn't work out in the end and I think that affected him mentally and emotionally.

The really sad thing for me is that we'll never get to hear Fortus and Slash together – I reckon Fortus' choppy rhythm parts and country picking would mesh really well with Slash's blues-rock stylings. Plus he has killer stage presence.
In my fantasy land, I picture Axl getting a voice trainer and getting back to his 2006 form, with Fortus and Slash on guitars, Duff on bass, Ferrer on drums and Mother Goose and Dizzy on the keys. And Izzy writing and guesting occasionally. That'd be an awesome band.
That would be killer to see live!

Thanks for the article info. Glad to hear something more positive and well mannered about the man himself. Kind of the main reason we have all joined together in this community. That pic is really cool too. As for the tech geek part, I knew Axl was interested in computers due to the exposure of them in the recording process of post UYI material and the CD sessions. Didn't know he likes to tinker and put them together. I'm actually learning that more at my part time job at the moment. It's tough; but hey if Axl can do it might as well give it a chance.

He's so good and so under appreciated
Highly agree! 
#987 Re: Guns N' Roses » Pretty cool video interview with Fortus » 693 weeks ago
skills are impressive. Great classic shredding. Nice to hear some things cleared up about Better's writing and recording process. Especially since Richard plays the fuck out of that song live. He really gets into it.

I remember Slash saying that he does own a couple more different styles of top hats. Lemmy and I think Dave Grohl gave him a couple custom made ones!

I'm with Monkey on this, if Man Of Steel told us anything, its that Superman is unbeatable by ordinary men, why would Batman be any different?
Still, I'd love to see what Snyder can do with Batman, after the great Man of Steel film.
Actually, in the comic book community, most would say that Batman, given time to prepare and execute a strategy, wins that fight. The rationale being, there have been about a dozen story lines in the comics in which they have been pitted against each other and Batman has done just that.
Batman is just an ordinary man, but he's supposed to represent what any ordinary man could achieve with hard work, intelligence, and technology. The idea being we can accomplish anything if we set our minds to it. Even defeat a superman.
Well for the most part. The Dark Knight Returns is a more of an else world/alternate universe where Superman is almost a tank drone who is informed by the President that Batman has gone rogue and needs to be stopped and believes him. Batman tries to make some sense and Supes doesn't believe him. They fight. Batman wins barely with some Kryptonite, prep time, lots of gadgets, and temporarily weakens Superman. But..at a cost. In the animated film adaptation, Batman almost suffers a heart attack from the stressful fight and Superman realizes this and goes to save him at the last minute. In a fight, Batman would need a shit ton of armor perhaps the Bat (robot suit), a good amount of Kryptonite (which he does have in the Batcave as well as ways to stop the rest of the Justice League when they get out of line). The problem is Superman does hold back his strength in that particular fight or doesn't use the full use of the red sun to strengthen him. He does have a anti-kryptonite suit in the fortress of solitude, various tools/experiments to cure him of any illness, and other alien tech. The thing with this film is well a fight is going to happen; but it shouldn't be the full focus. BATMAN AND SUPERMAN ARE HEROES & GOOD FRIENDS. THEY SHOULDN'T BE FIGHTING. Only when they know one of them is being full of shit or manipulated. They respect and admire one another for what they do. Even though they may not agree with each other on every single issue. The problem with Returns and several areas that include these two fighting is that in reality they shouldn't be fighting. Superman in good continuity wouldn't be some drone taking orders when he knows something is off. He is not a war machine. He won't kill or beat someone up for no reason or just for a disagreement. He is the symbol of truth, justice, and the American way. Which is what after this Man of Steel movie will develop into and absorb truly in a sequel. He tries to see the good in people. He is a symbol of what human kind wants to strive for even when he is completely fictional. While Batman as intelligent and quick whited as he is always tries to stand for justice just with his own perspective. ..And the video game, Injustice that opens up another can of worms all together.
