It's supposed to be Axl's band isn't it? Who else should it be on if not him? And he and Izzy are supposed to be tight, no? So he can use Izzy for nuGNR to lead some credibility, but now that Izzy wants back in he slams the door shut? Where is that infamous Axl loyalty that we keep hearing about? Izzy has had to take to twitter to try and push his way back into the band he founded, and he may never even have been consulted about the reunion in the first place.

With Matt and Steven it may be one thing. But to leave Izzy out in the cold is absolutely on Axl.

Why would Axl break down? And it's not just about him this time.

Let Izzy make noise from the sidelines. People think this is so cool, but I think it's pathetic and childish. If he has issues, sort it out internally. Has he learned nothing from the past two decades? To create a twitter account just to take swipes and Axl, and on the eve of such an important time for Axl and the band, is selfish. Especially when you consider he is likely after more money.

I thought it would get more coverage too.

Maybe the huge doubt about whether it's really Izzy has put people off.

Will, if Izzy's camp contacted you, and asked you to say the account was his. Would you do that?

I never said he should be dead, don't twist my words. I said he might as well be dead. Which was a follow on from my point that people treat him like a dead artist, with all the mythologising done about him. Axl, Slash and Duff can and did write songs without him, both GNR and otherwise. No one sits here and says Izzy can't do x without the others, despite that fact that his work was as equally elevated by their input as verse versa. People go overboard with him.
