One of the biggest misconceptions about Axl is, most people think he's a big alcohol and drug guy like the rest of the guys in the band. Or just confuse him for the Vince Neil type but in fact, he's the complete opposite...

Yes, his public ego was his worst enemy but that aside, he's actually very similar to Jon on multiple levels. He's very business savvy. He obviously owns the GnR name and one of the reasons why he got rid of Slash, Duff and some of the others is because of their self destructive ways.

It's been a while but I believe it's Slash who talks about all this in his book (or maybe it was on Howard)... But Axl is a very straight laced guy.
