Is anybody looking forward to Metal Gear Solid 4 coming out in June? Has anybody read much about it, is it meant to be good? I go through phases with the MGS games but once you start playing one you can't stop.

What would be the point. If BH turned them down with Robin and Brain still in the band I don't see him accepting now unless Robin was the reason he said no in the first place.

He clearly means Mysteron's gay.....

I take it to mean similar to what the official statement said, ignore the first paragraph it's just babble about why he didn't reply to anyone. 

As previously stated, we're focused on bizz now, *IF* a conflict arises down the road, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

This is the main bit, taking it at face value GNR's still focused on getting the album out and will continue to do so as though nothing's changed. Should a time come when they need Robin for touring or promo and he's still with NIN then GNR have a problem that needs dealing with, until then, they don't.

No doubt I'd be there, it'd be a dream come true. If it was to happen in the next year or so I'd have to hope and pray they came to the UK because whilst I'd pay whatever it cost to see them ticket wise I couldn't afford the travel to NY or wherever, if it's a few years down the line when I've got a job etc then I'd probably travel to the first show wherever that may be.

As for Izzy I think he'd do it, even a big tour providing all the BS had finished. Everyone's always said Izzy hated touring etc but I get the impression from Slash's book that wasn't quite the reason he left. It seemed more that once he got clean GNR was no environment for a recovering addict and Axls behaviour on the tour was the final straw. I'm pretty sure Slash says that in 93 when Izzy came back for a couple of shows he was testing the water to see if he could come back permanently but when he saw things were worse in terms of all the BS than when he'd left he decided against it. If a reunion tour was on better terms (which it would have to be) then I think he'd do it.
