Unless contracts have already been signed? Pre-contract agreement maybe? Certainly it seems like a needlessly expensive departure if they don't have anything concrete behind it, or have some weighty compensation package if Axl gets up on the wrong side of the bed & decides this isn't his thing anymore & goes off to phone Finck & Chris Vrenna bring them along instead..

Yea I also think there's something to be understood where Axl's coming from - he's been the most vehemently anti-old band, both in whatever passes as his media/public utterances & in his lyrics/songs.

My guess is he feels the need to hold onto that resentment/bitterness as a fuel for his music, & that prob justifies all the things he's said. But now maybe it seems he can be a rational, pragmatic person.

I'm not sure. I do want a reunion/Slash back in the band, but I also feel like it's been such a pathetic waste of energy & time if Slash really is back, like what was the point when all we got were the 12/13 wispy washy songs from CD only to reunite after 20-odd years?!
Dunno.. Maybe he'll get it right this time

that's interesting, never knew that. C4 teletext was brilliant. their music listings, digitizer & that quiz game which i cant remember now.. wasted a fair few hours of my life on those pages, more than anything on the internet does now.

Christmas update/snow has arrived?
