Guns N’ Roses Whys

Bill Holdship of the Dallas Observer weighed in on the short-lived Guns N’ Roses comeback tour, various theories on what happened to end it, insiders and former bandmates’ thoughts on frontman Axl Rose, and more. “He carries a lot of baggage, which is a shortcoming, but it is who he is,” says another anonymous insider who recalls that the last time he saw Rose, seven years ago outside an L.A. club, Rose said “he’d just had an exorcist ‘clean’ his house” of former girlfriend and supermodel Stephanie Seymour’s “evil presence.” Adds this old friend: “He teeters on the brink of sanity.” Dallasobserver.com has since removed the article.
