Yeah must say i've always liked the slow versions of You're Crazy - such as Lies hundreds of times more than the speed version on AFD. A slow electric version like that would have been cool.

Although I love the acoustic - Axl sounds amazing on lies IMO.

^ Yeah I love the acoustic as well. Some more Lies would have been excellent.

Sigh - so much wasted opportunity.

I agree wholeheartedly with Axl there.

That one man, btw, isn't Slash.

Who the hell is it?

If it isn't Slash, there's only one other person it could be.  While that is factually correct, I highly doubt Axl was actually referring to himself there.

Axl. Obviously, he's not purposefully talking about himself. However, it reminded me of a case study on a Hitler/Churchill quote.

"Like a madman, this man has been running all over Europe for almost five years to find anything which would burn."

Was that Winston or Adolf talking about the other? Works either way, tho obviously not intended to do that.

You know this is the sort of reason I'd love to eventually read Axl's side of it...I'd love to know more about his reasoning. I'm assuming he was talking about Slash, it makes you wonder if that was a refrence to something behind the scenes.

I think he means that every year, Slash does something to him that keeps the feud going. Another lawsuit, a book, a song, an interview where he disses Axl, there is always something public. Of all the guys the in the band, Slash been the most vocal over the years when it comes to throwing Axl under the bus.

Duff, Gilby, Steven, Izzy, and to a certain extent Matt never really did that.

Agreed.  People always ask, "what did Slash ever say that was THAT bad that pissed Axl off?"  I'd venture a guess that it wasn't ONE thing, it was a culmination of consistent yet subtle jabs over the years.  A case of quantity over quality.  Izzy said some pretty harsh things about Axl, but that was from ONE interview.  He got it all out and then moved on with his life.  That's easier to take then reading this and that over and over again.

It also doesn't help that Slash is viewed as the good guy by the general public and everyone believes his side of things.  And as for Axl, not so much.
