...and thanks for proving my point.
Once again, it's a relevant point. I've made this point several times, specifically citing the Floyd since this whole Rock Hall thing started but it keeps getting passed over.
Plenty of acts have decided that the Rock Hall isn't going to dictate to them when and if they should reunite, but somehow Axl and Izzy are the worlds worst people for making the same call?
I'm fairly sure this is a GnR board with pretty diverse musical tastes outside of GnR. Opinions on other bands are pretty irrelevant to this discussion. We (generally speaking) don't care what other bands did.
I bet most of those bands were having similar discussions on their boards (if they existed) at the time their inductions happened. I bet most other bands' boards never talked about GnR's induction, and if they did, they certainly still aren't.

Like I said from the start, anykind of reunion show, whether it be a farewell show or what for the fab 5, I think needs to be done the right way, and not something where they don't feel comfortable doing.
Either it be a RIR performance or a free club show (which would be cool) is better than getting up and faking it... Or showing up and having a train wreck... Or showing up and not playing... It wasn't guaranteed to come off clean and happy, as we saw leading up to it. I'm sure the train wreck possibility played into people not wanting to go.
If they're not even talking to each other, or attempting to, you can't expect much.

I don't disagree at all, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about whether they should have sucked it up for the fans and at least shown up. I can see both sides of it...I agree with what you say, but maybe this could have been step one of at least talking to each other.

Re: London, May 31 (14 Years and Dead Flowers w/ Izzy!)
Axl and Izzy of the bunch, come off as the most immature. Axl mentally is maybe 18 and Izzy ain't far behind. Which is why neither of them have really done anything substantial in 20 fucking years. They lack the maturity, drive, desire, etc. Izzy makes music, yes, but doesn't seem like a hard worker, like Duff and Slash come off as. Axl could be, but he is so mindfucked at this point that any reunion would be a Slash and Duff influenced album because Izzy and Axl wouldnt be there half the time and would just want to work when they want to work. Lol. When is the last time Izzy and Axl promoted their shit like Slash and Duff have? Or even Adler?
