what a sad waste of talent. Only plastic surgery separates wacko jacko and axle but both share this ego and unrealistic view of ones self. Sure they were the $hit back in the day but they were careless and so self absorbed that shouldnt have anyone to blame but themselves for their failures. Ive always believed that the tensions within GNR especially Slash and Axle was the driving force that made them great. It created a dynamic that resulted in some of the best rock songs.
