californiaz06 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Ouch, what a comeback!I'll go cry myself to sleep now. Wait your turn, I am sure Slash is crying in bed right now over your amazing comment.No. I think he will just write another book of lies about it.You have proof that they are lies, huh? Oh, are you just repeating the weak comeback that your idol made without evidence to support it?Do you have an opinion of your own? If so, just what do you have to prove they are lies?Factual errors:- Page 1: "I was born on July 23, 1965 in Stoke On Trent, England" - He was born in Hampstead, England but spent his childhood in Stoke-on-Trent.- Page 102: "We could have booked a gig locally because, collectively, we all knew the right people, but no, we decided that after three rehearsals, we were ready for a tour." - The first show the Appetite For Destruction line-up played was on June 6th, 1985 at the Troubadour in Hollywood, CA. The tour up to Seattle happened after that show. - Page 164: "Del ended up writing treatments for some of our videos, as well as having written the short story that inspired Axl to write "November Rain"." - Del wrote Without You which inspired the video to November Rain and at least part of Estranged.- Page 210: "When we got on set, we met JJ Jackson, the host, and he was really cool. " - J.J. Jackson didn't interview GN'R on Headbanger's Ball in 1987. [Thanks Nevy]- Page 221, 305: "Within a day, we hooked up with Fred Curry, the drummer for Cinderella, and he was great in a pinch." - Fred Coury is the drummer's name. [Thanks Nevy]- Page 259: Tom Mayhue's name misspelled as Tom Mayhew.- Page 323: "We had three theater dates in L.A., San Francisco, and New York, with various bands opening for us, such as Blind Melon and Faith No More and Raging Slab." - Raging Slab opened for GN'R at the NYC show, Dumpster opened in San Francisco and L.A. Shannon Hoon (of Blind Melon) sang with the band at the L.A. show.- Page 323: ".. including two nights at the Inglewood Forum in L.A." - It was actually four nights.- Page 335: "After we got out stage show together, backup singers, horn section, and all, and we did a week's worth of rehearsals with every element intact, suddenly we found ourselves in South America, before a crowd of 180,000 at Rock In Rio II, on January 20, 1991." - The extended lineup played its first show on December 5th, 1991 (the second US leg) in Worcester, MA.- Page 339: "When he jumped down, it was great, we kept playing that suspenseful riff that starts off "Rocket Queen," and I thought the whole moment was killer. When Axl got back onstage, everything felt triumphant for a second... then he grabbed the mike, said something like, "Because of the bullshit security, we're going home," slammed the mike down, and walked offstage. The band kept going. We'd gotten good at improvising to fill dead space - drum solos, guitar solos jams - we had a bag of tricks to keep things moving whenever Axl made a sudden exit. We kept jamming, and I went over to the side of the stage."Where is he? I asked Doug.He looked at me with a pained expression. "He's not coming back.""What do you mean he's not coming back?" I shouted, still playing the riff."There is no way he is coming back," Doug said. "There is nothing I can do."We were about ninety minutes into our set, which was our minimum contractually, but the plan was to play a two-hour ser and the crowd wasn't close to satisfied. They knew there was a lot more left. I would have done anything to get Axl back onstage at that point."Ask him again!" I yelled. "Find out if he's really not going to." I should have known by Doug's expression that there was no use.Once it was final, we had no choice: the band put down our gear, and it was like pulling the plug on the stereo - the song just ended on a question mark. That entire arena sat there expecting something to happen, but instead we walked offstage without a word." - The following is what happened and it can be seen in the pro-shot bootleg footage from the show. About 1:15 into the song, Axl asks security "Hey, take that! Take that now! Get that guy and take that........ I'll take it Goddamn it!" He jumps into the crowd while the band keeps playing the riff Slash mentioned. Axl returns to the stage at around 1:57 into the song, motions for the band to stop playing and says "Well, thanks to the lame ass security, I'm going home.". Then he throws down his microphone, walks past Slash and walks offstage. Slash proceeds to say something into the microphone. His last line is "We're out of here".Page 350: "In May of 1992. We announced that we would coheadline a summer tour with Metallica starting July 7"- The tour started on July 17th, 1992 at the RFK Stadium in Washington, DC. - Page 363: "I got married to Renee in October 1991." - 1992- Page 412: "On the morning of 9/11, we were woken up at 8:15 by David Williams, Michael's house guitar player .... ... I saw that a plane had hit the Twin Towers, and moments later the second one hit while I was actually watching." - Flight 11 crashed into the north face of the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46:40. Flight 175 crashes into the south face of the South Tower at 9:03:11. - Page 437: ".... and the Pistols' "Pretty Vacant." - They played "Bodies" by Sex Pistols at their first show as well as playing it on tour.- Several pages: Slash's current band mate in VR, Dave Kushner, is referred to as Dave Kirscher in several places in the book.stupidest thing i've ever readtheres a difference between being inconsistent and lyingCan you recall events in your life going back 10 or 20 years on the dot?

MEXzilla Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Guns n roses is my favorite of all time so any list where Axl or Slash is number 1 it's dead on in my book. Oh n I wish Jerry Cantrell n Kim Thyil would be n the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaida Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Now in 2012 Slash is about the clostest thing alive to being in the same legue as Hendrix. Both from an audio perspective and exposure. Speak to people about guitarists and most know of Slash. He is known thoughout the world. I must pick up the new album. I really hope that someday he does another song with Kid Rock: I just love this track ..and this is just too good: Edited June 13, 2012 by vaida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 But not to the degree Hendrix is. At the cost of people, like ostriches, burying their head in the sand and refusing to listen to any other guitarists and recognizing how good a lot of these other guys are.
