I think it would be hypocritical since all I hear out of Matt's mouth is that he hated doing that kind of stuff when he was in GN'R.
Yeah, in the Behind The Music Matt talks about his not liking Axl using piano in the songs. How stupid is that? Tons of great rock bands used lots of piano in their songs. Aerosmith being a prime example.
I think Matt's point was that he thought he was joining AFD Guns and not the Guns that evolved out of that.
Yeah, I also think that's what he meant, but he worded what he said poorly. He said something like, "What's with the piano?" He should've expressed his point a litle better.
Don't forget by the time BTM was made alot of years have gone by with alot of animosity built up. According to Matt, he wanted to confront Axl with the rest of the guys but they backed out so obvisouly Matt has anger there, that could be why he sounded a bit nasty with the piano comment. In the making of NR, Matt seemed to be fully on board explaining his parts to the song. So it just goes to show, that either he was bullshitting and making it look for the Making of or he's just angry now.
