i heard that Matt wanted Finck in with Slash but Axl wanted him in instead of Slash but i cant remember where i heard that, i guess they kinda knew each other then so it wasnt as forced as i thought it might have been
I thought he wanted Zakk Wylde to replace Slash after seeing him perform with Matt. Also, was'nt slash long gone by thye time Fink was on board?
Anyway, 'tis nothing in the grand scheme of things I guess.?
In fact, there's a Seattle radio interview with Axl from the beggining of the 2002 USA tour, in which he says he brought Zakk Wylde to the studio for some rehearsals in 95/96 and the guitar work made by
Zakk and Slash together
was amazing, but unfortunetely those two didn't get along well.

I've seen a vid of Zakk and Slash performing Voodoo Child together a while back
They didn't seem to be at each others throats or anything.

- Thats a good point. I think it was just a case of too many cooks...with Slash and Zakk. I think Axl said something to that effect too.

I figured this would have been asked before but i couldnt find anything which really answered my questions.
I was just wondering how well the guys get on personally, obviously they couldnt hate each other as they work together but Tommy obviously had problems with BH and they were in the band together for a while.
What problems did Tommy have? Any ideas?

I heard Axl wanted to hire Fortus in the late 90's before Buckethead joined the band. I read that somewhere a while ago.
I guess Richard himself said he did an audition with the band back in '00, when Robin was out. But then, Buckethead appeared on and he had no chance.

I remember how Buckethead was chosen
I don't remember if Axl said this or Bucket, but
Buckethead went to one of Axl Rose's parties back in the day, and Axl gave him a leatherhead doll (pretty sure it was leatherhead.. it could have been someone else) to add to his collection, after that Buckethead felt a connection with Axl and joined the band. (This was after Robin left).
That's where Brain came into the picture, as Buckethead brought him along.
As for Robin, Axl saw Robin perform in the mid 90's with Cirque de Soleil, and he and Matt Sorum thought that he'd make a good addition to Gn'R. Axl wanted him for lead though over Slash (that's what Matt said). In 2000 Robin left Gn'R when his contract was up (since CD was far from finished) to tour with NIN and that's when Buckethead came into the picture. Robin would return after the NIN Fragility tour, pissing Trent off forever.
Richard came into the band after Paul left, he was a friend of Tommy's and Tommy was the one who sugguested him.
It's rumored that Chris Pittman has been working with Axl Rose since 1998, and Axl made him a member of the band.

Psychologically, you could consider this a reunion tour because I`ve managed to find enough pieces of my mind in order to be with you here tonight - - Axl Rose, Chicago 2002
