Re: Axl Rose - USA Today interviews
Sky Dog, Axl said last year that Izzy is too unreliable, and says in the fans eyes Slash and Duff would be enough to call it a reunion. Or am I making this all up?

I think so many things have been said so many different ways that it's hard to keep track of what was said, what was paraphrased, and what was misinterpreted.

I remember him saying something like that too...

After that, I got a barrage of guitar songs that I was supposed to put words to
Doesn't that completely go against Axl saying that Slash's songs were brought in complete, including lyrics, and that Axl wasn't allowed to change anything...

I think it's the most common factoid across the boards. I did correct it multiple times, but some people (mostly the pro-Axl anti-Slash tribe) refrained it again and again.
Here is the truth. Axl said that Slash told him "just shut up and sing", in which he was referring to Slash not being open for any changes in the music. But Slash hardly ever wrote any lyrics before, so it's nonsense that he wrote a full album alone. When he and Axl disagreed, he took the songs and got Eric Dover to write lyrics together. Since at least half of the album is about Axl, I just cannot imagine Slash handling the anti-Axl songs to Axl and ordering him to sing it. Just can't. But people are dumb and hateful and they liked to play the "poor Axl, dictator Slash" card as often as they could, and this was their only "fact" to build their arguments on.
Wonder how many other quotes got spinned and exaggerated over the years.

You're exactly right. Amazingly enough, that's the same answer I gave about two pages ago.
Instead of reading that tho, the thread continued on with irrelevant personal insults. Coincidentally, this will serve as a final notice on that.
Makes me think there could be parts of interview not used.

I think he was referring to UYI process and not to post-UYI aka The Breakup Sessions.

I dunno, sounded like a post-UYI reference to me, as there's plenty of lyrics, melody and Axl input on UYI.
