What impact did Axl's breakup with Stephanie Seymour have on GNR's demise?

He was just like any other rockstar before. They went right back into the studio after AFD and pumped out Lies then put out a massive double album in short order after that. He had her in the video for Don't Cry and they even got fricking married in the November Rain video. They break up and he puts a Charlie Manson cover on the Spaghetti Incident "for her" then self destructs his whole band and doesn't release anything for almost 20 years. Obviously he was unstable anyway but has this aspect been downplayed in the end of that band?

You leave out the drug problems of the band and the overrating of Slash as a versatile guitarist.

Not leaving them out. They are well documented. Just thinking maybe this was a major reason too that has been passed over.

Heartache from women always makes for great Rock and Roll. GNR is no exception.
Lies was great, but I can't think of a single video that blew up the way the trilogy from Use Your Illusion did. Those videos were creatively brilliant, even though the music from Lies was far superior in a raw and unrestrained sort of way.
Either way, the band broke free from the glamour rock of the big hair bands and brought a brash, hardcore edge that laid the foundation for the grunge movement.

none. Axl is poison.

I would say his Megalomania had more to do with it...

Meh, they were a tad hokey. At the time parts seemed acceptable but the Estranged video is borderline comical.

That and Izzy getting clean. Izzy Stradlin made GnR who they were and that band was done the moment he walked away.

GNR was a fad. Their days were numbered anyway.

AFD was the greatest hard rock album ever.

Eh, his solo/non-GNR work is certainly no comparison to GNR (IMO).

when slash rises out of the ocean playing guitar

Izzy and the Ju Ju Hounds was great. Much better than Chinese democracy or anything velvet revolver did for sure. Slashs skakepit wasnt bad but Izzy certainly outdid both slash and Axl as far as post-GnR music goes.
