dont get me wrong, i love ADKOT. As Is" is one of the best most awesome songs/guitar  I've heard in some time.

I may be ignorant and I admire Jimi Hendrix' greatness

but I do believe his legend and the fact its been repeated so many times is why He constantly is number 1.

I listen to his albums and I certainly don't think he is undisputed by any stretch.

Slash def number 1. I can see arguments for Jimmy Page also.

For me, the most telling thing is how attentive Axl was ONCE Duff got help. Axl was the only one to call him or come see him after his Pancreas incident. Axl began communicating,  riding bikes, talking about the band.

Its impossible being the sober guy in a room full of junkies. so i can see why Axl distanced himself.

The name thing makes complete fucking sense to me now after reading how fucked up Duff was and Axl's explanation of not wanting a hassle continuing on legally etc.

Now that doesn't mean I am all of a sudden gonna be an Axlite and hate the old guys..

but Axl certainly has some vindication the more i read stuff from old members.

I always thought Duff was just kind of a drunk... didn't realize he was that hardcore into shit.

Been listening to album twice a day since it came out. love every song.

rhonda Shear... oh man..... how many times I... well never mind
