If that happens, Beta & Fernando will have to go back to doing what they do best - working at Taco Bell.

Oh my God, yeah, I can't believe they posted a positive review about the album from a major newspaper

The gaul!  The insanity!

I mean yeah it may be an asshole move in some ways but if they're going to post any reviews from major, reputable sources at all that might as well be one of them.  Especially because it's so positive about the new band, and because so much shit has been rained on guys who played on this album who did nothing to deserve it

It's not about being positive it's about being so god damn disrespectful of the old band. It's about trying to discredit the past while boosting their own ego. the review for the first three paragraphs basically goes off on how bad Slash was. It has more to do with trying to tarnish the past than embrace the present.  If you can't see what's wrong with this being posted on the official site than that in itself is pathetic.  Axl should have(but doesn't) the confidence to let the album stand on it's own. Even the fans preach this but instead they put up a  review that rather than  saying why the new album is good it's saying here's why Slash was too shitty to make such a  quality album.  It reaks of a desperate attempt at giving the album Gn'R cred by trying to discredit the original Gn'R guitarist.  It's weak. It's laughable and it's pathetic.

Sorry, just don't care

Maybe Axl is bitter and vindictive, but I honestly don't care.  It's not like I'm hoping to be best friends with the guy.  I like him because his music speaks to me in a way that few other musicians do

You could make a laundry list of actions and comments from both Axl and Slash that make them look petty, bitter, and childish.  Both of them, at the end of the day, are very childlike, albeit in completely different ways.  It's about the music to me.  I don't really give a shit about the rest of the drama

I don't care if Axl "insults" me, I don't know him and he doesn't know me.  But bottom line, getting irate over the fact that his camp posted a positive article about his album from a legit news  source on the website is pretty hysterical.  Childish and petty as this may be, you are taking it way too seriously, way too personally
