When the album finally "drops" i can't wait to see the new band in the spotlight and Axl again because we all know that Axl is the damn coolest basterd rock star ever!. I think he has'nt changed all these years its just people trying to hold him down, and when he's in the spotlight i am going to laugh my head off when he attacks the people who have chatted bullshit and poked fun at him because who's the best ranting rock star?.
Everyone else gets to grow up, and so does Axl whether you like it or not. This isn't the late 80s/early 90s. Whether he releases his album or not, it's not going to be "the next big thing", and he doesn't have the same level of power that he used to where he can "attack" people like that.
