I think the band should be looking at their end game now. Put GNR to bed
Axl should think about living a portion of his life without GNR, do the celebrity run, or just lead a quiet life.
Why do you say that? Lots of older bands still out there performing with large audience attendance. What is a celebrity run? What makes you think Axl doesn't already have a quiet life and a portion not connected to GNR? One in the mountains and one far away from the crowds. So quiet and removed, people think he's in a state of not being able to make decisions or create for GNR. Time off is different for a musician, work months on end and take months off for a good life balance, wouldn't you say?
Are we sure the band commission this guy and it wasn't the record company? I was under the impression the box set was the record company's baby and not GNR's. Something forced on them.
Yeah, you're probably right. In the moment when I read the story, that was my opinion. It is frustration I think. It's a shame
Every band has their story, and many still tour as you said. And as long as they are happy that's all that matters.
How Axl has managed to live GNR for 40 years, the mind boggles

How he managed? He doesn't know any better. 
This is his first real job and he's been getting shit for it every since.
