Make-A-Wish is an international foundation, and the branch in Italy called on Make-A-Wish in Seattle to help create this special night, according to Elenbaas.
The Make-a-Wish foundation took notice of Capelli because of his battle with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, also known as Brittle Bone Disease. "He is very fragile right now, but his prognosis is good. He is getting better," said Elenbaas. "I hope this night helps cushion what he's been going through."
"Simone is just a cool kid, he is cooler than most," said McKagan, former bassist for Guns N' Roses. "It’s not about me or any grown ups."

Guess what, slash is also an ass that cant get over the past, steven adler is a drugged out ass... what do you expect when you give young people so much money. They arent the first in history, its nothing special, get over it.
1.) If Slash is an ass, at least he's not enough of an ass to not attend the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame awards.
2.) If Steven Adler is a drugged out ass, at least he's not enough of a drugged out ass to not attend the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame awards.
3.) Is that really your expectations for all young people with lots of money? I mean, we JUST READ an article proving Duff is, in fact, NOT an ass. And besides, the Guns N Roses we knew and loved EARNED that money.
4.) I NEVER said they were the first in history, so don't tell me to 'get over it', mmmkay bruh?
Yeah, that's nice and all, but he made his intentions for not going clear as day. He wants absolutely nothing to do with any of them because he thinks he's perfect. It would be perfectly fine if he just didn't want to, but to pretty much just say "screw that band, I'm my own man now" is just rude to both the band and the fans.
Actually, he did make his reasoning clear. However, it wasn't exactly for what you said.
He said he researched the organization, and he wasn't sold on the integrity of it, on top of the nonstop bombardment from the media and swirling rumors that lasted for months. Then he also cited the fact that he seemed unwanted at the ceremony if he wasn't willing to perform with the original lineup, as well as not exactly being happily with many of the things former members were saying in their interviews.
All in all, he came to the conclusion that he didn't respect the organization, they didn't respect him, and nobody really wanted him there if he wasn't playing with Slash, etc. I really think he wasn't wrong, considering everyone's opinion on the matter.
I would have loved to have seen him perform there, whether it was with the classic GN'R lineup or not, but I completely respect his decision.
I read Slash's, Duff's and Adler's books, Duff's is by far the better read. As someone mentioned above, he appears to be a great guy. He went through hell, but got his shit sorted out and came out the other end a much better person. He schooled himself in finance, has a better outlook on life, does is kick-boxing and whatever. This is the type of role-model kids need today.
