Not only is he not going...he doesn't want to be inducted as a member of GNR.

When it comes down to it, at the end of his days, I wonder if he looks back and thinks he made the right decision.

I'm not saying he's right or wrong. I just wonder if this is something he will regret down the road.

Axl WHO???

I think Slash should just turn up with the rest of the old lineup and Myles Kennedy in tow and blow the roof off that mofo.

Screw Axl. I hate drama queens. Even when they are men.

I just read through his entire letter. Honestly, regardless of my feelings about a reunion, it seems sincere and honest.

Whatever problems he thinks exist...he believes he is correct.

As goofy as Axl has been over the years, I give him credit for taking a stand and explaining his point of view.

Again, not that I fully agree with it, but I can respect it.

Of course he isn't interested, hell isn't yet frozen over.

I just hope the rest of the guys will play. 1 song with Steven and 1 song with Matt and yes bring Myles Kennedy, and Izzy because he hasn't said yes yet.

What happened between Axl and Slash? Such a shame Axl feels this was but I don't know enough about the situation to judge Axl for his actions.

I'm really hoping that Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven, an maybe even Matt say, FUCK YOU AXL ROSE, and go on a 70 date tour with Myles Kennedy, and play the shit out of Appetite, Lies and Illusion 1 and 2 for all the fans.

Nothing happened between them except Axl is a control freak/egomaniac, and he was tired of being treated as an employee by Axl. Also Slash wrote songs for Guns that Axl rejected. Those songs went on Slash's 1st solo record in 1995, before he left Guns. Then Axl was pissed that he used them elswhere. So there is no pleasing Axl.

I'm with Trek Girl. Bring in Myles Kennedy. It was so great to see Slash open for Ozzy last year and play some of those songs. Those are the songs of my youth and they bring back such great memories It really made me feel great and energized for a few weeks after the show.

I'd definitely pay to see these shows.

Fuck Myles Kennedy!!!! He doesn't begin to approach the greatness of Axl, and he blows at singing GnR material. He's got a huge set of pipes, no doubt, but he can't do what Axl does.

Yeah, he's an arrogant bitch but Axl has a one of a kind voice and is fantastic front man.

It sounds like he's doing it to squash an future reunion rumors and I can't really blame him for that.

It's shit like this that reminds me of why I am sooooo grateful to have Pearl Jam as "my band".
