Mochten er nog mensen zijn die hopen op een reünie van de originele Guns ‘n’ Roses, ze kunnen beter al hun hoop laten varen.
In een interview met Spinner gaat Axl Rose lekker tekeer tegen zijn oude bandmaatjes:
“you never knew if Izzy would be there or not or if he’d remember the song or decide to leave early”
“Steven [Adler] brings assorted ambulance-chasing attorneys and the nightmare of his mother. One gig, or even a couple songs, could mean years of behind-the-scenes legal aftermath.”
“I suppose Duff could play guitar on something somewhere, but there’s zero possibility of me having anything to do with Slash other than by ambush, and that wouldn’t be pretty.”
“Slash either should not have been in Guns to begin with or should have left after ‘Lies.’ In a nutshell, personally I consider him a cancer and better removed, avoided — and the less anyone heard of him or his supporters, the better.”
“the passion and true dedication to the art of guitar in his chosen area other than being, in my opinion, a whore for the limelight has generally seemed absent or lacking with most efforts for a long time.”
