Because in theory, people think it's because of Axl's antics. Axl makes a scene, Izzy - the flat down scared dog that he is, runs.

And therefore, he is well excused and still super cool.

In reality, that theory holds as much credibility as

Of course it's a lot more complicated than that, and Izzy got his own reasons.

This is not true.

Here's the reason Izzy is the man and Axl isn't.

IZZY is not coming because of the ACTUAL HALL of FAME, and all of that bullshit.

Axl is not coming because of Slash, and Axl being a pussy. All that thinly veiled bullshit about "the hall not making the pussy be welcomed", is just that -- crap.

Otherwise Axl wouldn't have made a point to bring up the members, ask for his name to be removed from the induction, and specifically take a swipe at Steven AND Matt AND leave a picture of the 2009-12 GN'R as a bonus picture to go with the letter.

Axl's not coming because Slash will be there, and he wanted some of the new Guns in the Hall (what a joke, if nobody "Gets" why this is, they need to take the bottle out of their mouths).

Izzy's not coming because Izzy just doesn't do this kinda stuff. Izzy is a total throwback. BUT I will agree it would've been cool if he man'ed up for the fans, and showed. All of those great solo albums of his we buy -- is because he was a GUNS N' ROSES member.

If Axl Rose had wrote a letter like Izzy's and left it at that, I swear to God I would not be giving him the shit today that I am. But no, the pussy actually talked TOO much, and shot his own self in the foot. He revealed his true reasons, while blaming the Hall.

I agree. Axl doesn't want to be there b/c of who will be up there on stage.

Respect his personal decision not to stand in the spotlight with people he does not like or he believes have harmed him in his life.

God help anyone who buys those songs.

See, at least I score a Catch 22 there; I have to buy the songs because I lost the best to gibbo, but I still win because I don't have to listen to the songs

Speaking of which, I have no clue... when does the Slash record even come out?

Well, with Gilby they have Izzy's rhythm parts covered, Duff on bass, Slash on lead, Matt & Steven on drums, and Myles on vox...?

Actually I am serious and would bet on it.  Bet 1000$?
