Slash is happy with his current band with Myles and if he ever gets bored with touring and putting out albums every year, he'll likely turn to film scoring.

I don't think I could just let bygones be bygones if I were Slash at this point.

Axl...destroyed that band. I know that drugs and egos were out of hand, etc. but Axl was (supposedly) relatively sober, and could've kept that ship together if he had wanted to.

Instead, he wanted to turn the baddest boozy bluesy rock band this side of guys not named Stones or Crowes into Elton Queen Inch Nails.

A damn shame...

Hey, they could've been my generation's Zeppelin...but could neve quit shooting themselves in the foot. Firing Marc in '97, firing Ed in '06 (and Marc quitting AGAIN)...they just could never keep it together.

As an aside to the GN'R/Crowes connection, rumor has it that Marc was rumored to be a candidate to replace Izzy, but chose the Crowes gig instead. Marc also plays uncredited on Somebody's Knockin' and did the bong intro to Train Tracks on JuJu Hounds.

The Sweet Pickle Salad sessions from that era are AMAZING.

I thought they were going to be the biggest band in the world after the "Southern Harmony..." album came out. I think your assessment is on the money.

That first JuJu Hounds album was solid. I need to find that again.
