These guys (well Tommy at least as he has credibility and potential to leave unlike Dizzy) must be getting to the point of feeling quite embarrassed continually being let down and may just feel its time to be quiet.
Westerberg is adament that Tommy is in it for the money...I would guess that while Tommy views Axl as a friend and loves the music that they have done, the main reason he has stuck around is that the money he has made gives him some security and money is freedom...he can now probably for the first time in his life pay his rent etc and make the music he wants to on his own terms.
If it wasnt for this...if they werent getting fat cheques...I GUARANTEE the band members would confront Axl and go 'this is BS'
I agree w/ the above...
it must be getting tiresome for the grp members (esp. Tommy) to always be saying, "yeah, soon it'll be out".
I LOVE Gnr (or else y would I be here??) but I don't see the release any time in the near future...can anyone say Brian Wilson (took him decades to release "smile"...hehehe...)
And as for the $$ issue, it's sad, but most likely true that the $$ is makin the other "band members" stick around, and not pressure Axl to release it (unless they ARE pressuring him....yeah right...I can see that,...then they'd be fired)
so sorry this is NEGATIVE...but IMO, it's the facts
