“I think everyone type of knows where I stand along with it all. I left it in a very good way. I mean, roughly, I actually were forced to just start turning down tours because I was can not tour; I got in to a position, personally, where my own life would definitely prevent me from doing, I don’t know — it should have been about five tours which they called me to try and do, and I just said I can’t do ’em. And at that time, they… I think Axl got on the position where he was, like, ‘Okay, precisely what am I going to perform now? ‘Cause I don’t possess a band. Blah blah blah.’ So I think it resolved,”Stinson said. Adding: “I think they’ve got fun. It is going to be a healing thing for ’em, if this works out good. It will likely be good for them.”
