Post by: Fingers on October 27, 2007, 07:26:49 AM Isn't there a few things missing here? I thought Duff's name was originally at the bottom of the fax Michael "Duff" Mckagan, and I thought there was a mention or a shot at Matt and Duff somewhere in the fax-I could totally be wrong on all this-I think it was around the time of Neurotic Outsiders, which Axl may have been referring to

I remember coming acros the news report about the fax year after it's release and going "amg its 97 now there has to be new gnr album coming out any second now, woho!" Naivety of a pre-teen right there ;) It's been 10 years though.Cant say I'd trust my memory too much... Too bad MTV doesnt seem to have the fax/news article about it stored. ...why do lame shit like store and organize over decade old news reports when you can show reairs of some quality reality-tv show instead.
