Mmm... indeed!!!!!

The problem is simply that Axl takes such a long time to do anything, these huge periods of inactivity are why people leave. I figure they just decide to give up and make commitments to other projects, and say "sorry Axl, I cant hang about any longer, I have these offers and I've decided I'm going to take them up."
The way the old band fell apart was uglier and more complicated though.

Yeah man, the question shouldnt be "what happened to the Better video", it should be why the hell wasnt there a video ready to go with the Chinese Democracy single, with a video on the sidelines ready for the follow up single. The fact that they were scrambling around at the 11th hour getting people like Lars to sign of legal agreements for a video appearence for a song that by that point was already released as a single is quite baffling.
But this is an album that 15 years in the making and noone proof read the booklet before printing of tens of millions of copies...:/

I play UYI 1&2 and CD a few times a week when I'm working out or running, I have a compilation of the old songs and old bootlegs I made and play that quite often as well. I havnt had an  urge to play Appetite for quite a while, I listen to Rock Radio most days and they play the hell out of it so thats enough.
I never really get burnt out with it though, I listened to it all religiously for years and I cant see it ever ending now. I'm a creature of habit, I still log in to youtube and GNR is my number 1 search, the first time I ever ventured online on a freinds computer years back, GNR was the first thing I typed in a search engine. "Horticulture Calibre" or something like that was what I ended up reading inside out.

The only thing I'm weary of is the forums, they are a breeding ground for negativity and are quite depressing. I've said it a million times, if they is nothing going on in the world of GNR, find something better to do with your life. I cant understand the people who bang on every other day about the injustice of it all. Most of the people I know are GNR fans and they have no idea about the forums and couldnt care less anyway, its all about the songs, the albums and catching a live show if possible. They listen to lots of music and have the same outlook. Hell, I have that same outlook with most bands I like. Its only GNR I log on to sites everyday to see whats happening, and thats even more fucked up coz I know sweet FA will be happening
