my thing about the name ownership is this...i'd one day like to read your side of the story regarding that, all we have is what Slash and Duff have told us. it  seems a convoluted mess, some accounts show that you (Axl) left gnr and took the name with you, others claim slash and duff left and thus left you holding the remainder of the partnership.

but if you left the band first then how come slash and duff didnt inherit the name instead?

then there is the claims that you basically held the band hostage unless the other guy's signed the paper work to give you control of the name

I've always wondered why you never went the ozzy route and started a solo career and left gnr to resurface when the fences were mended, i think Axl Rose is as big of brand and as well known as Guns N Roses

Those are some great questions Neemo, BUT I doubt he would answer them.  He's had a few similar questions the past couple days and he'd probably answer similarly.
