Re: Your Opinions on a Axl/Slash Reconciliation
TSI was barely even promoted but I do remember a Slash interview at the time, might have been People Magazine or EW, where he says Axl basically had to force/beg him to sing it and he wasn't ever going to do that again. Not an exact quote of course but he said something along those lines.
Axl.....please beg him again.
I also remember Slash saying that he wanted to play some smaller venues for a short run to promote TSI, but Axl didn't agree on that, which I think was the early stages of Slash saying "fuck this, if Guns won't do it, I'll do it with my own band..."
Re: Your Opinions on a Axl/Slash Reconciliation
Just curious, how is Slash playing Bucket material any more disrespectful to Bucket, than Bucket covering Slash stuff....?
Bucket owning that Nightrain outro wasn't being disrespectful obviously. He was just doing his own thing with it. Playing a sixty second snippet of a Bucket solo track between songs in a somewhat joking manner is an entirely different thing.
Or maybe I'm just....

Its amazing how after that UYI tour that went on forever, Slash wanted to do another tour.
If anyone needed a sign Slash was on drugs, there's exhibit A.

Indeed...for a quy that's so famous Slash is by most accounts very humble and very nice, but his work ethic is almost pathological. It's cool for fans because it means we get so much....but at the same time sometimes I wonder if he's actually afraid of not-pushing forward...I guess he knows what keeps him off junk....but I do wonder for his family...like between the constant touring and his other businesses I wonder if he is ever home lol

I think you might be James... 
The only Bucket that I'm referring to Slash playing is the stuff that is on CD tracks, thats if the CD stuff appears.
I don't think anyone was implying that Slash would play actual Bucket solo songs in a Guns set. I agree, that would be just weird...
I was just talking about Slash's usual solo spot, which is usually the Godfather, or some other Slash bluesy noodling stuff, or jams with whoever else ends up in the band

Well, he is getting divorced. 
Wouldn't call it work ethic as much as keeping busy. By all accounts he hates long stretches in the studio.
What he likes is to play. Almost with whoever. Pop, rock, rap. Doesn't seem to matter. We'll be seeing him on stage for as long as he lives imo.
Re: Your Opinions on a Axl/Slash Reconciliation
Yes, there's that... But I'm more interested in the dynamics....
There's never been such a situation where Slash is not in the spotlight on a gnr concert solo spot...
I would say Richard would get some CD solos, and Slash will do all his own leads. I can see them doing a dual lead on RQ.
