The feud between Axl Rose and Slash seems to
be finally over and there is speculation on them
performing together in Guns N' Roses during
for a possible money spinning tour Still
as you'd expect there's bound to be some kind
of scandal or outburst from all this and
surprisingly it's from Ash Hudson the brother
of Slash who recently had to apologise to Axl
Rose for calling him a "fat bastard" on Facebook
Whatever happens next I wish them all the best
This pair have inspired so many musicians and
if they get their shit together again then we
could have some great music to look forward to
as a result of them seeing eye to eye Let's just
hope that Axl doesn't still see Slash as a
"clueless loud mouthed arrogant cunt” and
likewise pray that Slash no longer views Axl as
“a confrontational douchebag”
Some bands reform whilst others have to
depart Welsh post hardcore band Funeral For
A Friend have announced that their “last chance
to dance” farewell tour begins in
after
concluding that they’ve reached a “natural end”
Let's hope it doesn't end like the last Lost
Prophets tour
