Un42nutzly Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Although Britt Daniel is the front man for two acclaimed indie bands, Spoon and his side project the Divine Fits, he’s demonstrated a love of classic rock. Last week, he covered Tom Petty‘s ‘You Got Lucky‘ and he also took a shot at Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘Hungry Heart‘ back in February. But in a new interview, he had some harsh words for Axl Rose.“I just think that he’s kinda the worst type of rock star out there,” he told Rolling Stone. “Who’s totally self-involved and precious about his own music and won’t put out a record and can’t – you know, all the great people that made that first Guns N’ Roses record what it was can’t stand working with him, or he doesn’t wanna work with them. Racist, and, uh, homophobic. Problems like that.”Daniel’s quote came when explaining something he said during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) back in December. Someone asked if he still hates Axl Rose, to which he simply responded, “He’s a prick.” However, Daniel quickly changed his tune, admitting that Rose seems to have calmed down over the years, and is aware that, if his career had followed the same path as Rose, he wouldn’t be much different.“He’s chilled out,” Daniel continued. “There was a very obnoxious phase for Axl Rose. I’m sure if I had experienced as much success as he had, I would probably be a third as obnoxious. I’d probably be obnoxious, too. But not that much.” http://ultimateclassicrock.com/divine-fits-axl-rose/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlrosefan1 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think the better response is who fucking cares. Are we gonna have threads every time someone bad mouths Axl? Might as well create an entire section for that then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr420 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 He doesnt sound like a huge dick. Just a little dick. In his mind he probably thinks hes being fair and open minded. Its amazing how much One in a Million defined Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) And yet, if he had sang Axl's praises, we'd be getting, "I always liked that guy! Totally underrated". Edited April 3, 2013 by Bobbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magisme Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 And yet, if he had sang Axl's praises, we'd be getting, "I always liked that guy! Totally underrated". Exactly. I don't give a fuck what he says either way, but this dude is a very accomplished musician, and Spoon is a very accomplished band. All these "Who?" comments are a bad look for GNR fans.

JimMorrison4 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Not really. I've never heard of the guy or his band. So anything he says or does is completely irrelevant to me. To be an "accomplished musician," I would take that as meaning you've had some success and/or fame. I've never heard of him. Has my head been buring in the sand? Am I missing something?
