Axl Rose, on his decision to refuse induction unto the Rock & Roll Hall
of Fame:
There's a
seemingly endless amount of revisionism and fantasies out there for the
sake of self-promotion and business opportunities masking the actual

originating with the earlier lineups has been brought out in the light,
there isn't room to consider a conversation let alone a reunion.

soup. We got her the soup. You can get your own.
