re: Slash - World On Fire

Guns N' Roses... one of my all-time favorite bands, and a band that really grabbed hold of my ears the first time I heard them. At one point, I thought "Welcome to the Jungle" had the coolest intro I'd ever heard, and it still is up there at the top for coolest intros.

It just sucks how the band imploded and is now just the Axl Rose Band. Axl has never done anything in the conventional way, from taking over a DECADE to release one album, being notorious for showing up late to concerts or not showing up at all, and not even showing up to be there with his old band-mates when GnR was inducted into the Hall of Fame. If Axl was like most people, he probably would eventually bury the hatchet with the Slash, and reunite with him to get the REAL Guns N' Roses back together. But he's not going to. He said it himself that one of them, he or Slash, would have to die before a reunion would ever happen. Axl marches to the beat of his own drum, so you can't think that the guy goes by the logic of most people, because he doesn't.

I've never met Axl personally, I just know him the way any fan would, from what I've read, heard, and seen. We don't really know all what went down between him and Slash, but apparently Axl's the one holding the grudge, because reportedly Slash has tried to mend the fences with Axl, to no avail.

Velvet Revolver was a good band, the STP/GN'R supergroup. They had some really good tunes. Best of luck to Slash with his new music and future endeavors!
