Why don't YOU get of YOUR self-righteous ass and let other people express
their own opinions! I listen to G 'n' R because of some of the great guitar
playing, not the greatest mind you but good enough. Just because I hate Axel
Rose, doesn't mean I can't like the rest of the band. Ok, So he is the lead 
singer, so what! I listen to their music because of Slash!
