Alot of thoughts crossed my mind while reading this, but the one that stands out to me is how lame Weiland's actions are here. The guy has everything in the world going for him & he can't stop himself from driving around all fucked up. I don't care if he wants to snort his life away, just don't get in a car & put innocent people at risk.

Exactly. Obviously, "The Letter" had quite a bit of 40something millionaire trash talking in it for one. And these guys all live, work & sue one another in such close proximity, that there's bound to be gossip shared that never makes it into print. For all we know, Izzy could be a double agent.

These four sentences pretty much the CD project in a nutshell.

1) Axl thinking about maybe finishing something.
2) Nobody knowing what happened.
3) A nutswinger saying it must be someone else's fault.

Years ago, HTGTH was my introduction to GNR fansites. This was before VR, before the VMA fiasco & while I was still genuinly interested in what Axl was up to. So I register & was just flabbergasted to see all these miniBeta's just discrediting everything the originals had done. I mean, there was kids, lots of them, who obviously thought Axl was GNR. That he had written every lyric, told the others what notes to play & basically was the alltime greatest human being......ever. I've seen people start threads there asking if anyone thought Axl had ever tried drugs!  I guess I just always found that site amusing & at the end of the day, that's what all these sites are for anyways. It was great to see all these kids, who weren't even around to experience the GNR hysteria, posting as if they had managed the band & knew firsthand what had actually gone on. This post isn't slamming Axl, it's just describing my HTGTH experience. Because, as anyone who was around in the late 80's knows, no one in GNR was a humanitarian or standup guy. That's what helped make them the worlds greatest Rn'R band.

Oh yeah, MeatLoaf is great. I've never owned a cd or anything, but his songs are definitely unique & fun. I also like him in whatever movies parts he's had.
