By now it’s  a given that the original lineup of Guns N’ Roses will most likely never reunite. Axl Rose is pleased (we guess?) with his current lineup, and him talking about swooping in on Slash’s dates is the closest you’ll get to hearing him saying something nice about his former band mate.

Posted by on July 8, 2011

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGDg2RsjY8M[/youtube] Say what you will about Chickenfoot.
