Guns N' Roses' ex-manager says an argument over collaborating with Michael Jackson is ultimately what fractured the relationship between Axl Rose and Slash.
Adam Horovitz was in his early 20s and riding high on the Beastie Boys' 10-times platinum debut album when he bumped into Axl Rose at a star-studded Hollywood party in 1988.
Steven Adler is on record as being in support of a reunion of the classic Guns N' Roses lineup, but that doesn't mean he has any special influence over bandleader Axl Rose.
It's difficult to change people's minds about you once you develop a reputation for being a certain way, and Axl Rose has a bigger reputation than most.
Axl Rose has surely received some obscenely huge offers to reunite the classic Guns N' Roses lineup for a new album or tour, but he's obviously never accepted any of them.
