Dont see the irony (unless youre referring to the 2002 Axl debacle...in which I still dont see it), but I do find it kind of funny that 3/5 of GNR are topping an alternative rock station...when that station has never played GNR.
I really don't see the irony either. But Slither kicks ass and this is only the beginning of it topping the charts. As for the alternative thing, Matt was in the Cult which was alternative, Scott was STP and Dave played with Navarro. Anyway the whole alternative thing to me is a dumb way to label music. It's all rock n' roll to me..
