lol. the actual difference between the two is, Trent is creating music and releasing it. Axl just lives from his past and has zero creative output at least in 10 years, most probably even 15 years or more. so - it's quite funny to compare those two. and don't get me wrong, I'm not particularly huge fan of Trent, but still I can admire a guy dedicated to making music happen.

I really expected them to release something the night before Slane.

If they play something new, I've always thought it'd be at Rock In Rio, but I don't expect it.

Axl is a fucking procrastinator he never finishes what he starts.

Yep. He's like a late career Orson Welles. I wonder if was due to lack of funding like Welles or sheer laziness.

He was putting an album together as late as summer of 2015 as evidenced by the famous ghost photo. Him and Pitman did an extensive studio work.

Pitman had his fingerprints on everything in the studio. Him leaving was pretty damning and not just leaving but suing Axl to boot.

The "oldies tour" thing wasn't just sour grapes, it was Pitman saying Axl was raising the white flag. I remember comments from Pitman awhile back saying what's great about Axl is he doesn't whore his past, he's about creating new stuff. You can argue that point but it just goes to show...
