Indeed, there is potential for follow-up comments from Axl regarding the happenings with CD. We'll have to wait and see but it would be nice to hear more as we wait for March. With this one small bit from Axl we see what a huge difference it makes when there is communication with the fans. Would be nice to see it become more common in the GNR world.
Well, with Axl taking charge now, maybe there will be more communication. From the way i took that open letter, he seemed genuinly pissed that management made the band look like fools. Rightfully so. Maybe now Axl's gonna try to "right the wrong", and he's off to a good start.
I'm still bummed the cd isn't coming out this year, but knowing the reasons why and getting a tentative release date does help to get the hope back.
