we're talking about one of the greatest rockers of his time (Axl). Appetite For Destruction' will still go down as one of the best rock records ever. I saw them twice on that tour and it doesn't get much better, but how do you fuck up something that great that bad?"

By this comment I see this person as saying it's all Axl fault that GNR broke up with just like any marriage, it takes two to tango.  Not that I want to get on this debate again at all because the reason for the break up has been debated to death, I am not one that believes it's all Axl's fault.

What was so uneducated about his statements concerning the face & hair work? Do you think he is wrong about it?

METALLICA Drummer Says New Album Is Not As 'One-Dimensional' As 'St. Anger' - Jan. 8, 2008 

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich recently spoke to Revolver magazine about the band's much-anticipated new album, tentatively due in the spring via Warner Bros. Records.

"This stuff is certainly a lot more dynamic and a lot more varied than the last couple of go-rounds," he said. "There's a lot of light and shade in these songs. There's heavy, fast, nutty stuff, and then there's some slowdowns and musical interludes. It's pretty different from 'St. Anger', and it's pretty different from the 'Load' stuff. This stuff is not the one-dimensional punch in the face that 'St. Anger' was. This is probably a little more like those couple of albums back there in the decade that begins with an '8.'"

When asked if the material represents a return to the "old school," Lars replied, "I hate to be that specific, because six months from now people are gonna go, 'What the fuck? Lars lied to us!' But it feels that way to me. It's been no secret that Rick [Rubin, producer] suggested to us that we use a couple of those records as reference points '” that we spend some time kind of accessing that headspace. So when we would come to forks in the road, sometimes the exercise became, 'What would we have done at this point in 1985?'"
