I don't mean to drag Axl into all of this, but I think the failure of Velvet Revolver to stay together exonerates him a little.  It just shows that maybe duff n' slash have strong opinions themselves, although I guess if you put drugs into the equation it's anybody's guess who was at fault.

I get the impression Axl thinks its a band. With himself in control.

One thing that bothers me is about Freese.  He seems to get no credit apart from CD, so is Brain playing exactly what he played on the other tracks? Cos surely that would be some form of contribution.

If Slash comes back (that's a big 'if') then I can't see Bumble being in the band either.  I doubt Slash would accept another lead player in the band.

I look forward to seeing what happens, regardless.  Personally I feel Finck must have left for good when he rejoined NIN and GnR are only finding out now that they are planning a tour or something.

So all the time the band was waiting for him to turn up at the studio he was jammin' in his house with Pitman?!

That's sarcastic British humour for you!

I thought the list was hilarious, but there are a lot of confusing things if you're not from the UK!
