Chinese Democracy is imminent. Tell us what you inner 'Slash' thinks?
"I'm looking forward to hearing it. In my mind it's not Guns N' Roses. It's Axl and friends.

"I love Axl to bits; his intelligence and talent are unsurpassed in my opinion. I just wished that things hadn't gone down the way they did. As a fan from day one, I feel like I've been cheated out of a potential 5-8 albums by the last great rock band.

"I have no opinion on who's at fault. I just feel that the average rock fan has missed out on some great records. Gutted!"

Would you like to see a reunion of the classic G N' R lineup?
"Of course, any G N' R fan would. It's never going to be the same, because they're not young and hungry anymore. But it would be a dream to see all five or six members on stage at the same time.I don't think you could ever rule it out.

"The Rolling Stones are still going strong at 60, so we've potentially got another 15 years of possibility.

"I just wish I could get them in a room and knock their heads together. Dudes, come on!"

With Velvet Revolver being dropped, expect rumours of a Guns reunion to gather pace quickly...
