Axl Rose Misconception Debunked By Ex-Guns N' Roses Bandmate.

(Classic Rock) Former Guns N' Roses bassist Tommy Stinson accepts Axl Rose has a "very particular" approach to work - but says that the singer is only difficult when being made to do something he'd rather not do.

And Stinson admits he could have been a little more prepared for the recent Replacements reunion. He returned to the band that made his name for a run of shows in 2012, leading to further appearances before they split again in 2015. He left Guns N' Roses earlier this year, ahead of the reunion featuring Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan.

Asked about Rose's "notorious" reputation, Stinson tells Rock On Philly: "That's one of the biggest misconceptions about him. He's a very hard-working dude that has a very particular was he wants to do things.

"I'll be honest - if he's doing anything other than what he wants to be doing, and you're in the room, you don't want to be in there. But when he's doing what he wants to do, he's great." Read more here.
