still Axl decided to officially comment on his departed lead guitarists in a way where you can read bad things in it....he often has shown this "revenge"-attitude.
and the Slash "lazy" argument"....come on, Axl didnt sung with the band only once after the 7/17/93 show at rehearsals and rarely showed up anyway when the band had practised hours a day. it surely would piss about every band members in any band if your singer isnt doing his job - which in the first place always would be singing.
The way the band had been functioning during UYI, Axl wrote his songs on the piano and gave the other guys free reign to write their songs. He would listen to what they wrote, maybe make suggestions, then do the vocals when they were satisfied with the tracks
Slash isn't lazy in the sense that he doesn't write and record a lot of the songs. I wouldn't use the word lazy to describe him, but given the quality of his guitar work through four albums in his post Guns days it sure seems like he doesn't have the desire to push himself to the peak of his abilities
