I think ur clutching @ straws. Axl broke up the greatest American rock band ever because of Michael Jackson??
Sorry, even he's not that crazy. Axl disliked Slash from before AFD but the benefits outweighed the negatives. @ some stage that was rebalanced, but the antipathy was already venomous & existing.

There you have it. Duff has called Izzy and Axl out here. Well done. He's prepared to risk his peace with them to say its time to 'man up'.
Too little, too late?
Why'd he not come out & say this months ago instead of the week prior to happening?!
It'd be one of most surprising gnr moments if Axl (& Izzy?) changed his mind because of some soppy love letter written by a fatass fan of the old band..
Duffer has gotten a little soft.
Wouldn't say that to his face tho

the artist owes it to their art to continue producing. art is its own virtue, if the vision is true - or even if it's honest.
that in-turn is [in]valuable to everyone who could come in contact w/that art.
going back to monkey's comparison: an artist's work could be as significant as those of the great sciences & scientists & that importance determines the responsibility they have. they CAN make a contribution that helps others, that is the extra responsibility an artist carries aside from not killing people.
it's something that applies to everyone on some level, but there does exist an obligation of sorts for them to deliver the help or enjoyment they can.
& just because you've done it once doesn't excuse you from never doing it again. or excuse you from trying.

show me someone who's not a parasite & i'll go out & say a prayer for him
IMO you have a basic moral responsibility (which a lotta people would scoff at) but anything beyond that you're on your own.
there's more useful things Axl could do w/his resources than write a new song (tho not that many more)
BUT if you're talking in terms of ideological warfare then defo Axl & artists have a responsibility, one Axl ignored for a long time.
think of him as a priest of RnR. if a catholic priest decided to stop preaching & attending his congregation the crowd will disperse & find a new religion. as a warrior of truth/RnR Axl did betray his responsibility - he has an opportunity to get the msg out there solely because it can help people thus fulfilling his moral obligation BUT also that msg can RESCUE people from the LIES & DECEPTION of other forces such as religion or party politics. w/power comes responsibility - in a smaller way we're also responsible for sharing this msg, it's just our artists can reach more people at a time.
history is littered w/great artists who abandoned the/ir causes. a little unfair to single Axl out - he has tried to survive & come back, credit to him i guess for not dying...
