Slash, Duff, Matt, Izzy... none of them were into Axl's eventual vision (I say eventual, because Axl used to be a hard rockin' motherfucker... lord knows what happened)... and likewise, Axl just isn't into the rock n roll vision of the other guys. Fact is, Axl and the rest of the band will NEVER see eye to eye on music opinions again. If they did get back together, they would only end up splitting with major arguments again.
I agree with that. And its ashame they couldnt work ou that stuff. But what i have a problem is when people somehow say slash and companys departure is valid. We dont know what Axls vision was yet. We dont know if its gonna be this new fresh sound, we dont know if it might be more rnr that people liek to believe and we dont know if its gonna be a techno thing. I thinks its gonna be a lil of everything but bleneded into a very special gnr way.
My point is the jury is still out on axl. When the albums get released that is when slash and company can say :see now you know why we left" till then they should pipe down about that stuff because they excately havnt been putting out great regular bluesy rock stuff either. Maybe vr will finally deliver on thier desire to just "jam" but till then they should pipe down. If cd flops then we all know who wins all the arguments.
But what if cd is a masterpiece? What does that say about axl and what does it say about the old? To me it wont take away from what tha past did. But it will show that Axl did indeed have a vision. And it was a great one, and the old guys jumped ship. Is 10 years a lobg time? hell fukin yea but if thats what it takes to get it right then so be it. And its not liek the old guys have been active making great music either.
The funny thing is they have just recently made vr. They too have done shitt all this time. If you wanna say their side projects and their countless colaborations with everyone and thier mom is gnr worthy material then i guess you have that right but to me they havnt done anything excited yet.
point is the jury is still out. The vr album and the 3 gnr albums will decide all that. They each have the chance to be great. Vr will rock but gnrwill rock the world.
