Dear Axl Rose,
I am sorry that I downloaded and traded all of the unreleased Appetite demos on the unoffical GNR forum and torrent sites. I now realize that you simply needed many, many years to achieve your artistic vision. It was wrong of me, as a fan, to illegally access your intellectual property.
I also realize that you were right to fire Duff & Slash. They were high as hell on heroin in the early 90s and falling over at many of the shows on your final European tour. Also, Dizzy is an excellent keyboardist and the Industrial demos that you made were tremendous, even if they never made it into an album. But, I shouldn't have downloaded them. I apologize for that also.
Chinese Democracy is a great album, There Was A Time in particular was my favorite track and it stands the test of time. Buckethead did some of his best wor on that album, I understand that he was too difficult to work with and you were again right to fire him. DJ Ashba sucks though, I am still trying to understand why you hired him, but I apologize for being unable to understand that also.
Also, you definitely deserve full credit for all of the Appetite demos and Tracii Guns definitely didn't write any of the riffs on that album.
I sincerely apologize.
