    First off, if there was going to be a reunion, GNR management would deny it until the second they announced the tour. But there's never going to be a reunion, so don't worry.

     

    Second, I really admire the way Axl fucked over the record industry on this one. Force out every member of your inner circle who isn't a total brown-nosing yes-man or yes-women, keep the name of the band even though you're the only member left, spend 11 years recording an album, be fed an endless supply of money to hire whoever you want, keep musicians, engineers and producers on payroll even if they aren't doing anything for you, tour when you feel like it, abruptly stop touring when you feel like it, headline a whole summer's worth of overseas stadium festivals when you do start touring again, bring your washed-up hair band also-ran best friend along on tour as a permanent opening act, bite a fucking cop in the leg and get off with a small fine, publicly fire an opening act for sucking, then release an album, don't do any promotion for it, and it still turns a profit despite bombing at retail. Now that's pretty awesome. That's how to be punk in 2008.

    Why make such a big production out of leaving the board? How can anyone make the conscious decision that they're not going to post anymore? (Obviously I understand why some people just don't post anymore. Porter seems to be approaching this from a "I want to keep posting but it's better if I don't" perspective.) I do like the way he says "It's time for me to be on my way" as though he's some sort of forum nomad, ready to set out and tackle a fresh new board where he'll have to earn a reputation for himself all over again.
