seems like axl has his own agenda. slash may want to promote himself but axl and izzy seem to want to let the music do the talking. izzy isn't big on self promo shit and axl isnt either. this may be a stretch but both of these guys have some strong music and a fuck the hype attitude, while putting out music that speaks for itself.... i think axl still has something under sleeve. chidem was good but look at appetite... lots of songs were saved for illusions.
