I think Axl just needs hang it up and admit that no matter who he is with there will be nothing coming from it. Anyway, I am sure that one of his supposed guitar players is having too much of a good time playing for Alice Cooper.
As for Velvet Revolver. Give me a fucking break. Its because of bands like this among many others, that makes me wonder why in the world Anthrax would ever want to be a part of Ozzfest. When Gigantour is the far superior tour.
