I wasn't actually thinking of The Beatles but what happened to GN'R has happened to many bands.

You mean "Velvet Revolver", right? Yeah, and like everything else music bands must come to an end, eventually, and I disagree that this ultimate end reduces them to "failures" as you implied for VR.

OK, I agree with you and Chaser in that respect but VR could never achieve GN'R success and I think all the band members - former & present want that more or less & try to reach it to some extent in every project they start. So in this respect VR is a failure for me.

Hehe, yes, if we compare all bands to THE GREATEST BAND EVA, then they all fade in comparison and comes off as utter failures. But seriously, by most normal criteria VR is not a failure, and actually going on hiatus may have been a smart move, I wish more bands would stop while the going is good. I don't see VR as a failure at all.

Johan is not nuts. At least not anymore nuts than the rest of us. He is ruled by his own psychology, which includes jealousy that he cannot sing that high.

It's not. Slash won't be there either, it's a benefit concert "honoring Slash", the way I understand it, Slash won't be there himself.

Sorry, I got that wrong. My fault.  :(

No. Sorry, I got that wrong - sounded like a "tribute" gig to me ("honoring Slash"), but I checked and it sounds like Slash will be playing:
