I did some work with Matt Sorum back in '99 and he mentioned that Axl had a remote truck (with overdub booth) rented parked outside of his house with an engineer on site at all times, for when he felt 'inspired'.
It was a ProTools rig BTW.
I would have hated the non momentum of that situation.

I agree with earlier points made here, such as they were a BAND and Izzy was the songwriting brains of the outfit.
Axl abused his control freak 'singer is the center of the universe' fantasy and caused the band to breakup.
You cannot replace an original member and expect the magic.
When Matt became the drummer, the band lost a lot of the synergy.
When Izzy left, it was all over for me.
