Re: AXL goes AWOL
Maybe Axl is retiring. Maybe he released this just so we'd stop waiting and bugging him, and to end the bad press about it and now he just wants to live his life and is done with the music industry.
hope not. But it's possible.
The Steve Perry theory. I've been floating this out there but no one's biting.

Re: AXL goes AWOL
I'm not surprised if Axl feels uncomfortable. Releasing an album can be a strange new situation for him.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Right now I have a hard time imagining him carrying on with this new band and continuing to release new material, but I also can't imagine him getting on board with a reunion. Seems as if he is at a cross roads right now.
Jessica, I can easily imagine that. He very well could be feeling fed up or extremely insecure and vulnerable at the moment.

It's certianly possible.
I think most people don't want to bite because they don't want to think about Axl retiring and never releasing music again.
He certainly deserves a life away from all the press and media attention.
I think with him though, he'll be back someday. He doesn't seem content with not having his voice heard. That's why every song on CD is introspective to a large degree.
Re: AXL goes AWOL
I'd be willing to bet that if we can see this isn't a band than Axl sure as hell knows it's not a band. This can't be what he hoped for. he wanetd it to be Guns N' Roses. Well that never materialized. Instead it did become an Axl Rose solo project and more people now than ever admit it. It's Axl and his many hired Guns who produced a sound which in my opinion he likely isn't satisfied with. I honestly believe he put it out to wash his hands of it. The label took it and now it's done. He's not happy with the result so he feels no desire to promote it. I woudln't be surprised if Axl wants to be part of a real band for a change. What better guys out there than oh I don't know.......

"What is in the stores is not the "final" master approved by Axl.
He has changed it several times since then."-posted at the Velvet Rope today from a guy who has been very accurate about the album. 
No Axl, horrendous errors on the lyrics in the booklet (obviously done by someone at the record label who can't tell what Axl is saying)....something is wrong.
