    I see Matt sorum has had plastic surgery on his face aswell, is Slash the only one who hasn’t messed with his face?

    He's probably messed with every organ in his body though??

    Yeah he decided to give it welly to his body for years although to be fair the original five are all alive and don’t look that bad. How duff looks the healthiest I’ll never know. Steven has issues with his speech but that’s because of the stroke and then banging his head against a hard floor during it. I assume Izzy is healthy enough given he stopped years ago.

    Slash and Duff by rights should've been dead ages ago, Slash at 35 was given either 6 days or 6 weeks to live in 2001, but he's had a pacemaker since, totally clean since 2006 to my recollection, gave up the smokes in 2009 after his mother passed from lung cancer.

    Duff, as is well known.... That man is a guide to addicts in how to do a complete 360 in your life, and get away from bad habits.

    The guys are late 50's, pushing 60, with Axl the closest.

    And axl looks the oldest because of whatever he was up to in the early 2000s with the eyebrows going missing and him looking shinny(for lack of a better word). It’s unfortunate that his voice is the way it is now, because I don’t think it’s a case of him not wanting to sing like he used to, because to me it sounds like he doesn’t have the control he used to have. I mean during concerts he shows he can still do it in spurts but not like it was. Maybe if he hadn’t made **** of his voice during the UYI tour where he sounded like he was gargling bleach at times and sounding rough he might not have been as bad now.

    In the behind the scenes video to estranged he talked about kids but outside of that I don’t know he felt.

    When he split with Stephanie in '93, I think that nailed that particular door shut.

    Yeah and he was very close with her son Dylan who’s shown in that video. I think there’s four kids from the members of the band. Two each from slash and duff.

    Slash and Duff ain't the only ones with kids, think Dizzy, Frank & Richard are old lads too..

    There's so much blank space in the history of this band from the end of the classic line up we came to know and love that's missing, it would make an interesting book/books to read if the book started around '98 when the band compromised of Axl, Tommy Stinson, Josh Freese, Robin Finck on lead guitar, Paul Tobias, Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman.

    Was inevitable really I guess - just a matter of waiting for the confirmation.

    Good support acts for next year though - pleased with that!

    Just saw the email about the rescheduling of the show which honestly isn’t that much of a surprise really. It seems they are starting the tour in Australia and New Zealand at the end of this year and hopefully by then the world will be back to some kind of normality.

    Dublin is 8th on the euro leg so hopefully that means Axls voice will be at least half way warmed up when he plays here!

    Bret Michaels wanted Slash in Poison over C.C DeVille.

    It was known that slash auditioned for poison and C.C Deville got the gig but I hadn’t heard about the issues it caused within poison. And I think it worked out well for both bands.

    The list of best and worst songs on GNR albums is interesting.

    I agree with some of the picks because my world was a mess and yeah probably not a great move to include a song by Charles Manson even if none of the royalties went to him, they went to a family member of one of
    his victims.

    You’re crazy isn’t the worst song on appetite either. I’d put that at think about you.

    IMO coma is the best song on UYI 1.

    Edit: lies: I’d agree patience is the best song on the album and I’d take one of the covers as the worst song and move to the city especially live is a great song.

    Now would be a great time for Axl to do an official autobiography can anyone think of good title for the craic.
    "Not in this life time" might be a obvious one but I'd go with his famous t-shirt quote "Sh1t Happens"
