Axel Rose "found God"

Clashing personalities of different band members brought about the end of the original line-up. Today, frontman Axl Rose is the only original member in the band's current lineup.

In 1994, Gilby Clarke was let go from the band as Axl felt his songwriting skills were inadequate for their future projects. That same year, a cover version of The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" was recorded by the band for the movie Interview with the Vampire. The addition of Axl's friend Paul Tobias in place of Clarke did not sit well with remaining band members. During the recording of "Sympathy for the Devil", Tobias recorded an echo of Slash's solo at Axl's request. Slash was infuriated when he heard the song's final mix and that Tobias' guitar had been placed on top of his.

In early 1995, Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde told music magazine Kerrang that he had joined the band for a week's worth of rehearsal and jamming on Axl Rose's personal request. While Wylde considered the experience as a highly positive one, he was ultimately frustrated by the timetaking contract negotiations, opting to go on tour with Osbourne.

Slash then drifted in and out of the band for the next year or so, beginning a side project called Slash's Snakepit. In August 1996, the band regrouped with Rose temporarily acting as the rhythm guitarist. At the time, Sorum hinted on the band considering a new, unknown player for the slot, possibly referring to Paul Tobias. After two weeks of jamming and song writing, McKagan and Sorum began touring with their sideproject, Neurotic Outsiders, while returning to work with Rose and Slash mid-tour for a week in early September. After Slash and Rose were left alone with each other, the guitarist commented the situation in mid-October by saying: "I have only been back in the band for three weeks and my relationship with Axl right now is sort of at a stand still." A few weeks later, Rose announced Slash was no longer a part of the band.

He was replaced by Robin Finck. The next year, drummer Sorum was fired from the group following a verbal dispute with Rose regarding negative comments Paul Tobias had made about Slash. In mid 1997, McKagan opted out of his contract, and officially left the band in early 1998. This left Rose as the sole original member of the group. Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum later formed the rock supergroup Velvet Revolver with former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland and guitarist Dave Kushner, where they released their first CD, and had immediate success.

internal conflicts between bandmates on what direction should the band take. Axl wanted the sound to be more industrialized and updated, and slash wanted the same blues sound they had in the 80's.
