I doubt this the end, but yeah.. that next stadium tour is going to be a while.

NITL regardless of what anyone thinks was one of the 3 most sucessful tours if all time.

If there isn't a new album, it'll be interesting how long this line-up (Axl, Slash and Duff) hold together without it raining cash. Though it's not like an album that sells millions is possible anyway.

On the book, I still think it's a good thing it was pulled or delayed (for himself). I think he would have opened the door to all kinds of accusations against the rest of the uyi line-up and himself by women in those lines.

Matt buries Weiland in the book, but claimed a few years back that they made up before his death. There's nothing in the book about it

Also the times Axl ran into Matt post 90s, not mentioned.

Oh and as an update on the book itself, he said on twitter it'd be out next year recently. Various sections of the music press claimed it was delayed a few months before the leak anyway.

So perhaps, instead of this being blocked... it was decided that there should be re-writes and it be fleshed out a bit more? Just a possiblity.

If he was invested in the project, it would be a good idea to look at the feedback from the leak and see what's missing.

Read my summary on the first page. It's a series of Slash screwing Matt out off money... for example Axl tells Matt he should get 10% Matt agrees, Slash says no way afterwards.

Matt wants to start a band, basically Snakepitt is his and Slash's idea. He finds out that Slash during a rehersal has changed the name to Slash's snakepitt. They fight a few times including during vr.

Slash wants the Buckcherry singer. After they've jammed for a few months tells Matt he's quiting the band because he doesn't like the singer... matt says they'll get rid off the singer instead, later on he wants rid of the other guitarist from Buckcherry too... leaving Matt in a bad position.

Also during the gn'r days... Axl, Slash and Duff go out for an extra bow which annoys Matt. Complains to Slash who tell them, we get to do thst because we started the band.

Slash also didn't want him at the Rock N Roll hall of fame.

Slash ignored him when he was trying to find out about the reunion ect... ect.

Every few chapters once Slash is introduced... there's something.

As for Duff, there's a few things... but the books final chapter is Matt trying to get Duff to insist on him joining. Duff says I already signed. Suggests Duff said the drummer can't play (Frank). When Matt brings up Izzy, Duff says fuck izzy. There's more.

Sorry, typing on phone.

Other claims include the suggestion that Stephanie felt up Matt in a car while Axl was looking the other way. Thinking Stephanie would fuck everyone in the band if she could. Also Matt had an opportunity to sleep with Elizabeth Taylor (bit of a stretch) at the Freddie tribute show.

Also lots of stories about Lars wanting to know what's going on with Guns. Lars appears more than Izzy, Gilby combined

Worth checking out.

The book fyi has alot in it, not all new.

He buries everyone by the end (except Izzy and Gilby who are rarely mentioned).

- Slash constantly screws him over throughout (every few chapters) be it money, getting into arguments or not wanting him to play at the Hall of Fame
- Makes claims like Duff said, Fuck Izzy and Frank can't play
- It's bitter by the end tbh and cannot imagine the band wanting to have him guest.
- Matt being furious when Axl, Duff and Slash went for an extra bow at a gig/Slash telling them they get to do it, because they started the band.

I'm sure others will copy/paste tibbits parts.

It's pretty tame on Axl compared to Slash and Duff.
