According to a report by ABC News Radio, Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose's former manager Craig Duswalt - who has written a new memoir entitled Welcome To My Jungle - says that and the rest of the old-school GN'R camp think Axl and Slash are closer than ever before to patching things up, mostly because original Guns bassist Duff McKagan has recently played onstage with Guns N' Roses. Duswalt says they're hoping McKagan will be an ambassador of sorts. "Duff is paving the way to open the gates again," says Duswalt. "Axl and Duff are really getting along well at the concerts, so there's an opening."

Duswalt says when it comes to Axl and Slash, he knows "for a fact they hate each other right now. It's bad. Axl is a loyal guy and you get on his bad side and some people don't come back, but Slash and him were so close. We (in the old-school Guns camp) all have a feeling it will happen. It's gonna happen in the next two years...there's an opening because of Duff playing with Axl."
