The Queen guitarist flew out to L.A in 1999 to record lead guitar tracks on a song called Catcher N´ The Rye, but now says that Axl has mixed him out.


"It is a shame, perhaps..." says Brian. "I did put quite a lot of work in, and was proud of it, but I could understand if Axl wants to have an album which reflects the work of the members of the band as it is right now."
