pretty decent interview, and looks like VR is still kicking

again was pretty nice to axl and apparent Axl has read slash book and hasnt contacted his lawyers

Lol, Slash is a liar or delusional Anyone who reads the unofficial official forum knows what Axl thinks about Slash's book and what he thinks we should think about it.

On the other hand I don't see that VR's a functioning band, unless he means they're actually touring and releasing albums.

Did I miss something? Is there info floating around saying Axl's made statements about Slash's book?

Not trying to be a smartass, I just honestly missed it if that's the case.

Nonetheless, this whole situation (Scotts arrest, Slash's book, the bands questionable future) has at least got me interested in maybe going to their show at the Fillmore in a couple weeks.

as for a reunion, i wanna see the new band suceed as much as anyone but i never understood the idea of not wanting a reunion to happen....the old band made every tune we've all come to love

those of us who don't want to see a reunion have the following reasons:

A. it would cheapen what it was... the legacy.  Some things are better left in the past.
B. coming to love the band as it is.
C. it would be cliche
D. Slash and Matt don't deserve to be in Guns N' Roses.
E. Axl would be a complete failure
F. it would be a bunch of guys who dont get along or like each other very much "doin it for the money".   Not interested.
G. Chinese Democracy and several other supposed albums worth of material would go to waste
H. Robin, Tommy, Richard, Dizzy, Chris, Ron, and Frank are part of the band now and there is no reason to let go of them.  The chemistry is solid, and the band is incredible.
I. The current lineup plays the songs perfectly well anyways.
J. Axl gets along better with these guys

and I'm sure someone could give you even more reasons.
