Axl's at the point where he has a group of lackies who have no choice but to do his bidding. I believe this is exactly what he wants. If you attempt to deny this, you are ignoring the obvious.
Axl might be doing exactly what he has to do in order to have his way through and through with this band.
No one will speak against him. No one has any say in anything and all of them jump anytime their sent plane tickets to rehearse or whatever even if Axl doesn't show.
I'd be just as happy to be in Guns as Frank and the rest of them.. but I don't think a guy like Zack Wylde or anyone who is anyone in this business would put up with it at all.
I don't consider this a band anymore in the true sense of the word. Anyone who does is obviously too high on Axl.
I can now nod when those fans say that this brand IS Axl Rose. They've finally got their wish.
