Maybe REM too..

Every other band I can think of don't get on that well..

I think pearl jam are good friends too. But yeah vanishingly few.

There was a period of time, after No Code I believe where Pearl Jam started to turn on each other. The constant drummer changes, and that Eddie didn't want to do their stuff, they didn't want to do his stuff, they couldn't agree on setlists, Eddie wasn't traveling with the band, nobody was talking to each other.

They get along GREAT today, and even they were near breakup at one point.

The point is, if the best "happy go lucky" band has those moments.

As was said about GN'R... "they were a marriage bound for divorce court".

Nothing's worse than a half-hearted attempt to perform just for the sake of it.

You mean like the reunion we're going to see at the Hall of Fame ceremony?

I think Elton John & Madonna will do well.

Divorce court is the least of it. The morgue is more like it. Luckily for them they avoided it.

I dont buy it. From 99-09 Axl would bring up Slash in interviews/statements when it wasnt necessary and/or not even being asked about him. So did his yes men.

Reporter: Axl, tell us the process of recording this mythical album.

Axl: Slash sure sucks!

Generalizing but thats his interviews since 99 in a nutshell. He WANTED to talk about him & brings up the subject if the interviewer doesnt.

I've got the impression from various snippets over the years that maybe Axl has a tendency to really focus on things and fixate on them.

Slash must surely be a dilemma for him. On one hand the absence of Slash is the sole thing that causes his band to loose legitimacy with the general public, not to mention creatively when you find someone that adds a lot of value to what you do.... on the other hand, dealings with Slash created their own problems (not having the same creative directions, drug use etc) and I think Slash maybe never understood Axl's emotions and personality, and the history of Vr shows he's probably hard to deal with himself.

Not to mention they went through a lot of insane life changing events together.

If i was Axl i'd be somewhat obsessed with the topic too.
