If memory serves me well, Axl Rose was born and raised in Lafayette, IN. I know someone who remembers him (I have seen the year book) at Lafayette Jefferson High School as member of the cross country team who locked Rose in a locker a time or two. May be wrong on this one but I think there is another guy from the band who is also from Lafayette. As lore goes, they moved to the left coast as a garage band seeking fame and fortune. They found Slash (British guy I think) after he declined joining another big hair band because Slash did not like having to talk to fans or some sort of thing like that. The new Guns & Roses band told Slash all he had to do was play and he was happy with that.
So, Rose may be able to talk about corn and soy beans perhaps from personal experience but I think he is woefully unqualified to lecture anyone about forestry or its management.
Regards.
I don’t think Rose should talk about anything except perhaps losing his mind after only 4 (incredible) albums and wanting to write mushy, BS love/glam ballads.
Slash, whose father is British I believe you are right, and wealthy, just wanted to play rock n roll and wanted no part of the big, loong, stupid MTV video songs Axl wanted to pump out.
Then he took 15 years to make one TERRIBLE album
So yeah, no, he shouldn’t talk about ANYTHING.
The old saying about keeping your mouth shut and letting people THINK you’re an idiot...etc
