How many mistakes has Axl made that we would assume he's learned from and it doesn't seem that he has though?

I, not too long ago, made the joke to some friends that I wonder if they even know for sure who does what on what track at this point. 

In all seriousness I would expect a Use Your Illusion style booklet like has been said, but you never know what could be up people's sleeves at this point.

I totally disagree with that.

The lyrics are damn good, don't get me wrong.  I don't mean this as "Axl bashing" at all, but those are two of the best instrumental tracks in the history of Gn'R in my mind.   On every level what everyone brought to the table on those two songs is brilliant.  Even the parts that are fairly simple for the most part (the bass line in Coma for example) are exactly what the song called for.

Those two songs (and I would argue those two albums) are a great example of a band clicking on all cylinders to me.

Were there arguements/disagreements about things... absolutely.  I'll tell you what though, after reading Slash's book, I would love to hear the mix of them without all the layers of synth that Slash talked about.  I dig the albums as they stand, but I'd like to see what that was all about.

Edit:I read Madagas's post a few above mine now, and see where he's coming from, but I still don't agree with it.  The best example I could give is the simple fact that Slash deserves a writing credit for Estranged.  That solo is basically a melody.

For the same reason American Idol's a number one show.  Even though they're singing songs that if they came on the radio you'd break your arm trying to change the station in time.  People want something to root for, they want to be able to say their side's winning.  Whether it makes sense logically or not.

That specific one is $1000.  I thought it seemed better than the roland at that price range.  If you moved up to the $1500 one I thought the Roland seemed better though(the Yamaha is the same module as the $1000, but with some better pads). 

Then the highest end Yamaha (that I saw anyway) ran about $3000, while Roland upper end Roland's had, I think, about 3 price points slightly lower or higher than that.

Another big thing that made me go with the Yamaha is that I read that all of their drum sounds are sampled/recorded actual drum sounds, whereas the Rolands are completely electronically produced sounds. 

I'm not sure about the lowest end kits (the Roland is $750, and the yamaha is $700), I only looked at them long enough to see that the next step up wasn't much more espensive.

Hope that helps.
