In my youth there were few hard rock bands that I loved as much as Guns and Roses. You had a lead singer in Axl Rose, who I have once heard describe as sounding like a 'coyote trapped in barbed wire' - one of the truly great power vocalists of the rock era.
Adding to that collection of musicians you find Slash - one of the great guitar gods of this or any other era. That was a rare magical combination. G&R put out three fantastic albums until Axl lost his nut and couldn't get past his enormous ego anymore.
You have to watch the hour long biography the History channel did on the group. Of all the singer and musicians around Hollywood at that time, it was a miracle that G&R came together in the first place. One of those magical accidents that make music so great.
I loved following their whole career and carry many of their best tunes in the soundtrack of my life. Now, a few days before the group gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this big crybaby, Axl, pulls out, basically giving the screwgie to the rest of his bandmates.
Since February, Rose has remained mum on his plans, even as guitarist Slash has s comes to old Guns N’ Roses, there really isn’t anybody that makes depoken out in favour of a Rock Hall reunion — and acknowledging Rose’s antipathy. “He hates my guts,” Slash told Rolling Stone in early April. “It’s over a lot of different stuff; I don’t even know. There’s just no communication between us. I talk to Duff and Steven, but when incisions.”
Fuck you, you selfish little prick. You were the headliners at the celebration. What could they do to make you feel any more important than giving you the honor they already did. You are honored. You show up and let your fans see how much they appreciated? They like you. They really like you. They even have a giant egg they can carry you in on if you would like.
If Kiss can drop their standards to perform on Dancing With The Stars then you, Axel Rose, really can't hold your head above us all.

KISS was on Dancing With The Stars?! Man, I would have actually watched that show if I had known that!
Maybe not. There weren't as cool a I remember. It was like watching fat Elvis to be honest with you. Only a guitar and no hips were broken.
all he needs is just a little patience.
or maybe he was upset that the induction wasn't taking place in the cold november rain.
Droll Budd, very Droll.
KISS had standards?!
Since when?
Discuss.
I was feeling the same way but, than I came to grips with the thought that Axel has been attempting to ram this new incarnation of Guns N' Roses down everyone's collective throat for the last 10-15 years. He's kinda pissed off that the Hall doesn't recognize the new and improved(?) version as inductees on top of the issues he has with the old members. Had he decided to call the new version of the band something different, I can see him being better with the induction.
This is the musical equivalent of a friend inviting you out to a party but, telling you you can only bring your ex-girlfriend....to leave your current gf at home. One would probably rather just stay home and let their ex attend by themselves.
I could see your point if Axel and his newest version had actually produced something in the decades since the original group was at its heyday. I always remember when someone got kicked out of the group for partying TOO MUCH. That is one hell of a partier who can become annoying to Guns and Roses.
