and JR is still supporting Sue Ellen even though she is a drunk, a tramp, and an unfit mother!

Ha.....you are correct sir! Haven't read a book in quite a while. +1

so, you are admitting lyrics and "passion" are important? To me, VERY VERY VERY much so...couple that with some tasty riffs and rhythm, you have a great band.

Here's my deal. Axl is 50% of Gnr and the other 4 were 50%. Vocals/lyrics vs Instrumental. Slash, while a legendary guitar player, IN MY OPINION, did not bring anything more to the table than Izzy did. To me, they were a perfect hard rock combination. Duff was solid as were the 2 drummers. I just think, in the end, singers are harder to come by. Axl would have been successful regardless of Slash...maybe not as much, but at some point he would have clicked with somebody. On the other hand, considering the Hollywood scene in 1985, Slash would have a very hard time finding a singer like Axl.

So, I guess I am saying that Axl brought more to Gnr than Slash did.

And here we go...........:P

I 'm still a tweener though Smokin' 

When in doubt, ask your self what JR would do.......:peace:

You have to be joking? Bri, love ya, but that album is AWFUL.
