She makes the band sound objectively better.

If that is a problem to you then you are the one with the problem, not those of us who embrace a mere supportive and welcoming attitude towards her.

I am not saying you have to love her or what she does but some awareness to the situation would not go amiss here.

Just my opinion.

I know of Ice Cube, Chvrches, Gary Clark Jr. and The Damned...

He's got a broken foot... What else is he supposed to sit on exactly?

I think that "throne" thingy is kinda cool all things considered - had this happened in the past the tour (more than likely) would've been cancelled altogether.

Good on Axl for following through, I'd say. Nothing but props from me in this case since he did right by his fans and fellow band members.

Man, what a fucked up band.
