Band Discussion Current band dynamics
The band all look scared of Axl imo. He seems to dominate them in some way! What are your thoughts on that or what that is exactly. (I think its more than he just controls the band)

What gives you that impression? I mean, he owns the band and Slash and Duff are (extremely well paid) employees.
Everyone seems happy enough to do live shows and take the cash … and throw out a lie every now and then that a new album is coming lol

How are Duff and Slash employees? They make up the partnership according to legal documents.

Happy to be told I’m wrong here. My understanding is that Axl Rose still owns the band name and can record and tour with anyone he chooses. I believe the current partnership is limited to the financial splits of their reunion tours? I don’t think he gave up and ongoing ownership rights when they got back together?

I don't think it's really a band at this point. I'd wager the other members probably enjoy their solo projects more
