Yeah my favourite GNR albums, used to love cranking them sitting working my way through a bottle of whisky flicking through the booklet reading along with the lyrics.
Cd has some good lyrics too though, Catcher and Prostitute are pretty interesting.

lol you registered to bump a 3 year old thread

Interesting you should magically appear and bump it though cause this story or Slash's version of it he put in his book is why I think Axl still hates him now, Del had an issue with it as well, plus I remember Richard making a comment that Slash had upset a few people with "that book of his".
Also I think the way he trashed Axls friend Paul Huge in the book is also a big part of the resentment Axl still has.

I read htgth and I want to take a gun and shoot myself in the face, its awful truly awful. I cant deal with such blind zealotry anymore, it goes for both sides of the divide, but the Axl side is far worse, I just find it insane and impossible to believe. I like it here where people can substantiate their reasoning whatever their point of view, but elsewhere... its sick.

I liked Axls stance on the HOF and believe this was always his end game, I also believe, knowing the backlash he'd get, he waited until the last minute to publish his intentions so the bulk of the euro tickets were sold, just my opinion
But I dislike his attitude to the old band and genuinally find so much of his words to be empty posturing, until he starts to produce a body of work to rival that of the old band thats how I'm looking at the current Guns N'Roses, especially in its current state, just posers and pretenders.
Richards been in the band 10 years and has hardly played an original note, Bumblefoot has been there 6 years and hasnt even got the chance to be part of writing an original Guns N'Roses song, its pathetic.
I hope to god when they hit europe they have something original in their arsenal to stand alongside, because if they return here and all they've got new is Estranged and Civil War that offical band picture of "Guns N' Roses" Axl provided is going to look even more empty and meaningless, its just a charade to feed Axls ego and shit on the old band cause he knows they'd love to be touring as Guns N'Roses again.
But nah, not unless they sign on the dotted line and agree to be Axls employee and pucker up and kiss his arse while they are down there cowering.

New music please Axl, and lots of it, you have long enough and even had the privilage of pissing away millions of dollars of someone elses money on one record for 10 years, once you start backing up your egotistical posturing with a body of work, then you can be as smug and arrogant as you want.
Until then I view you as a fraud and a charlatan

They cut off the last part of Axls letter:

"Sincerely,

Axl Rose

P.P.S And FYI Dizzy your not fuckin going either!!"
