pretty plain disclaimer by slash once the GnR part of the book kicks in

I dunno how anyone can try to bitch about the accuracy of the book when this is like the first thing he says about Guns. I'm at page 100 and its a pretty good read so far, there is already things that i didnt know. He talks about meeting different people in the orig band and the rest of the LA scene..now is the part where he is getting into the original lineup....funny though Slash calls Ole Beich, Ole Bench

but going back the LA Guns Side of things, once Izzy joined LA Guns, Axl talked Tracii into naming the Band Guns N Roses, merging both LA Guns and Hollywood Rose (As everyone knows of course) so the first lineup of GNR was Axl, Tracii, Izzy, Rob Gardiner and Ole Beich. Then for whatever reason Ole is replaced by Duff (Slash didnt elaborate) then Tracii and Axl got into a fight and Axl invited Slash back....and Slash obliged him and the Band was then Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Rob Gardiner...by this Time they had already written Don't Cry...at the point I'm at Steven isnt in the band yet

The biggest thing i didnt realize, was that Slash was in an Izzy-less Hollywood Rose for a short Time...but quit after a Gig where Axl smashed a bottle over some guy's head....also before that Slash, Duff and Steven tried to get a band off the ground and during the sessions they created the riff that would become RQ...Slash broke up that band because Steven was more interested in partying than making music

Although STONE TEMPLE PILOTS broke up in 2002 under less than friendly circumstances, both singer Scott Weiland (who currently fronts VELVET REVOLVER) and guitarist Dean DeLeo have said that the band members are all on good terms now. Weiland even told The Pulse of Radio he could envision making another STP album. "We were never a band that felt like we needed to lean too hard onto our muscle," he said. "We always felt like we had enough beauty and enough finesse in our music, you know, while we were together, that could carry us into a long career. So for us to make a record at an older age doesn't seem like a stretch, you know, 'cause we were never all about brawn."

The last STP album, "Shangri-La-Dee-Da", came out in 2001. The band's initial success in the early and mid-'90s was derailed in the latter part of the decade by Weiland's well-documented drug problems and arrests.

Weiland, who entered rehab earlier in the month at an undisclosed location, has struggled with substance abuse problems for more than a decade, although he has reportedly been clean for nearly four years until now. Questions about his condition flared a few weeks ago when he missed a VELVET REVOLVER performance at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, claiming transportation problems.

No idea...all I know is that as of about 2 months ago it hadnt changed since the day he converted it to the Gunners Tube format...my guess is that he lost interest in GnR and didnt care to maintain the site..not a shock really

wow this is in my back yard....i wish i could afford to go
