It is hard to tell what goes on in Axl's head but i really doubt he thought anything about Def Leppard by waiting so long to release his album. I mean i will give Def Leppard some credit for putting out an album like Slang, which in my opinion is a damn good album. I think if that album was released instead of Adrenalize in 92' things would be alot different for Def Leppard, commercially they would have been one step ahead of the grunge movement instead of looking like a band who was "trying to fit in" . Back to Axl , I am not one of his biggest supporters but i do think he is finally ready to release his album.
