I honestly can't believe that people are actually naive enough to be buying into Mysteron's game. I ask again, besides pre-sales, what has he ever done or said that was correct to prove his credibility.

With the extra musicians, according to the book Axl put Slash in charge of finding them and hiring them.  There was no indication that he was responsible for wanting them.  Every comment he made indicated he loved the huge stage, but wanted a stripped down version of the show from an extra musician standpoint.

I'm reasonably sure he said he wanted them on the Behind The Music. I'd have to watch it again to be sure.

Well, when 4 people are in general pointing the finger at one person and the one person isn't saying anything, the general perception is going to be that the 4 people are correct.  Of course it isn't 100% Axl's fault, but in the end, he was the one calling the shots and he has to accept responsibility. 

I don't see how anybody could say that Axl isn't more responsible for the breakup of the band than anybody else.  It was his band when they broke up.  Guys were forced to decide if they wanted to work under those conditions and decided they didn't.  That doesn't necessarily make Axl the bad guy.  Maybe his conditions were quite fair and the other guys were unreasonable about it.  I honestly believe Axl always did what he thought was best for Guns N' Roses regardless of what anybody else thought, I just think he made some bad decisions along the way.  Hindsight is 20/20.
