already posted this somewhere else, but what the hell i'll put it here as well.
the only one that fuckin sucks in that band is Weiland..........Slash will always be a guitar GOD..............did Axl push everyone to get the best out of them .........yes and they no doubt had an impact on Axl as well.......life moves on.......Adler's happy in his drug induced fantasyland

Matt, Duff and Slash are happy with what they have (though i wish they could find a better singer

)...........Izzy is happy where ever he's at

and Axl is happy with much more creative freedom and all the time he's needed for his perfectionist ways

......to me it's a win win......end of story
