Axl Rose needs cash--in talks with Guns & Roses members for reunion

We had a riot here a couple of years ago (I think) because Axl didn't show up to G n R concert. Some ppl got beat up by the police because of it. One guy even got his front teeth knocked out by a cop.

Axl has been responsible for a few riots because of no-shows or stage walk-offs. That's why the last tour got scrapped.

When G-n-R toured with Metallica in the early 90's, James Hetfield got burned really badly on some pyro during their set and had to be rushed to the hospital. Axl could've saved the day and played a great set to make up for Metallica's being cut short, but instead Axl chose to act like a diva and walked off. A major riot ensued.

I think he's a douche, but I'd be first in line for a ticket if they ever reunited.

Also, Nawdle, Buckethead was in the new G-n-R. I'm not sure if he's still working with Axl. I know he's doing a side project with Serj Tankian. I just read about it. I'll try and find the link if I can.

I think it has something to do with royalties. The guys of GNR signed over the rights to the band name to Axl when he was threatening to quit a wicked long time ago, but he hasn't paid them money for using their songs or something like that?
Found it:"Slash, Duff Sue Axl Over Guns N' Roses Publishing Royalties-
They say he sold the rights without their consent and is pocketing the profit."

Axl ruined what could have been the greatest rock band ever (this is coming from a 22 year old so don't take me too seriously), I'd dislike him too. His ego got in the way of making music which is what the rest of GNR is about.
