Fyi all, I may have another video that I'll post regarding the breakup of GNR

[xywave]

I'm not going to reply to crass comments anymore. The video is pretty cut n' dry and speaks for itself. Bibliography of citations inthe description. Thanks everyone for feed back.

[Gocim52]

we just don't know exactly what happened between them.

and that documents could be missinterpretation by us who didn't know the whole story

[HawksEye1983]

@xywave Give it a rest already. You're not a detective. You're not a part nor will you ever BE a part of Guns N' Roses. Just shut up and forget about it. All you're doing in succeeding is riling people up and making them fight with your biased, bullshit PoV. Go away.

[HawksEye1983]

@xywave It's not as "cut and dry" as you'd like to think it is. You just dove right into the snakepit. There are nothing "crass" about our comments when you sit there and contradict yourself. Hence you are full of shit because you really do not know as much you think you know.

[jsb123ish]

Axl should not of had to "get" The name from them. It was his and izzy's vision originally! Axl and izzy are and always will be GNR!

[HawksEye1983]

@xywave You're so full of shit. You go around "claiming" that this is not meant to be Pro-Slash and that's exactly as this comes across. What are you trying to be some kind intrepid detective? You nor anybody else except the members of Guns N' Roses know exactly what went down. You should also read up on your history of Axl. The stuff that you've pieced together here is nothing but crap and you twisting and turning it to suit your need to make Axl look like an evil dictator.

[weirdcode1]

@xywave countering your views is "sophism"; fuck you really are an arrogant tosser. and speaking of sophism thats exactly what youre doing except with little intellectual effort or capacity. "to everyone else thanks for the likes"... all 10 of them (BFD)... Its like you are saying "SEE... everyone else likes me"... hahaha thats called "little man syndrome"

[weirdcode1]

@xywave i hadnt intended as yet to speak of axl's explanations other than the reference to p331 of SLASH where some of your assertions are proven wrong. i was simply trying to speak to the seemingly justified nature of some of his actions. anyway i'm bored with this so-called debate. have a nice life examining the minutiae of gnr in your quest to be the man who exposes the truth to the entire world.

[weirdcode1]

@xywave if you simply view my comments as digressive you cant claim to be cognisant of any bigger picture which is what the scenario requires. all the legal documents in the world don't actually tell you what was going between the members of gnr in terms of communication & interaction; they were all barely communicating and/or were drugfucked so basically things were dysfunctional & shit happened... GET OVER IT & LOSE YOUR DELUSION THAT YOU ARE SOME KIND OF INVESTIGATIVE TRUTHHOUND
