slasher2099 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Wow that was a great read. Must have been hell to type it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Axl paints this picture that Slash is some egotistical control freak while he just sat back and watched everything happenHow ironic. I don't think that's the picture he paints at all - If anything, I think that's the picture that Slash has been painting of him for so many years.

OTHAFA Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Axl paints this picture that Slash is some egotistical control freak while he just sat back and watched everything happenHow ironic. I don't think that's the picture he paints at all - If anything, I think that's the picture that Slash has been painting of him for so many years.Well in this note alone he says Slash said "fuck Izzy and Axl" and tried to take over the stage during live shows, tried to control all the recording of the Illusion albums and basically blames him for all the legal issues that have happened over the years. He blames him for the failure to ever record a new album with the old band and blames him for the negative perception people have of Axl.Like I said, everything is someone else's fault.

Black Sabbath Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Holy shit, what a great read!A+ on the Homework Axl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focker Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 So this confirms the inspiration behind Sorry. I don't see why or what Axl would have to gain by lying about any of this. Not like he tried to cash in with a book deal like someone else we know... I have nothing but respect for Axl Rose, and cannot imagine there being a Guns 'N Roses without him in it. I also agree and like the idea that whoever thought up the name should be the one who owns it... kind of like a man law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpi Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 No offense, but Axl sounds bitter as fuck. Especially about Slash. We're supposed to believe that everything that has happened is someone else's fault and EVERYTHING we've been told about him are all lies. I think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.that's usually the case. we just have to connect the pieces and see what it all adds up.

Justagroupie Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Amazing.Thank you so much, Axl.This is what I needed to hear as a fan, all of it. The genuine and borderline heartfelt response to this from you yourself. Whatever comes out of this, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luizinhu Terciotti Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Well first of all thanks axl for talk to us one more time instead of press...I was talking with Vanessa Lebeis and she told me about this Letter for the fans...I'm from brazil and I hope that you can appear to us here too...thanks for the letter one more time...Happy Xmas :xmassrudolph: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shackler Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks Axl, that cleared alot upI see were this comes from "Its harder to live with the truth about you than to live with Lies about me" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Wow, that was a great read. A couple points of interest to me:Did anyone else get the impression that Axl no longer likes TIL/didn't want it on the album. I found it odd that he said Robin and Tommy sort of pressured him into working on it. Can we put RNRHOF reunion rumors to rest now?? Almost as annoying as the unsubstanicated random reunion rumors.

BaDHaBiTt Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm sure this will make it to music sites all around the world and I think ppl who are believing in a reunion, at least with Slash involved, will be very dissappointed. There seem to be too much bad blood between them. Duff and of course Izzy seem to be quite ok in Axl's book, but not Slash.But that's only the feeling I get from the post.

xMr.Brownstone(x) Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 dammit Axl! that's a lot to read!! when will I get to ask you a couple of questions? Thanks for your time man! I really appreciate what you are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryfon Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 That was much better than the ask me anything thread. Some things you cant write down in a only paragraph or continually side step because its a long answer to a short question, so its really appreciated he spent his time doing that for us. I hope he's back soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie_axl Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 well whatever the case is, they all made it big together, they all made gnr what it is today, axl's just kept it alive, which is important to alot of people, including me.

I found it odd that he said Robin and Tommy sort of pressured him into working on it.Not at all. I think (and this is just my opinion, per-se) that it was a difficult song for him to work on, and as such he was reluctant to include it on the album. I don't think it was because he didn't like it.
