My point of view is that Axl Rose is an "Artist" or "Musician." Like any artist you deliver, when you are ready to, not when somebody tells you. It's like Michael Angelo who did The Sixth Chapel, I think he took more time than he supposed to,(maybe less than Axl
), but he did what he wanted to do.
Also, I'm tired when people says that they make Axl rich, I think that you can say that you make rich Geffen, so since people bought Contraband that means that VR already owe you something.
In addition, my first language is not English, I'm being using English four years ago since I came to USA; but I think if you use the following words: "Maybe, Hopefully, We hope," that means a possibility, not a fact. But maybe all the teachers that have taught me English are wrong.
