Forsaken Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Can't win for losing, Axl's rustling jimmies for being active and in a commerical ad. FFS. IMHO it is mostly blow back to all the Slash haters who are always calling him a media whore so the reaction is not surprising.......... Also didn't Axl make some snarky comments about Slash's publicity seeking at some point?Thing is, Axl just got off a tour and how many commercials can you count on one hand that Axl has done in the past 10 years? This is rare and people still can't be pleased. Don't get it. This is something positive and people will always find a way to spin it into negativity because it's Axl fucking Rose.

Zint Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 lol BudweiserNot a fan their beer myself but somehow I don't think Anheuser Busch cares what we think about their products considering they had 11 of the top 20 selling beers, and I use that word loosely in their case, in 2013................. http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/gallery/22721Considering I live in a country where I'm virtually surrounded by great tasting beers from major and indi companies, it's a safe bet that Anheuser Busch matters not to me one way or the other.

Human Nature mate.......these things will always end up being an Axl vs. Slash thing especially as Axl fans love call Slash a media whore and throw the "integrity" word around regarding Axl and there are some who think an artist selling their music for commercials tarnishes their "integrity"............

axl_on_drums Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ha. You know I followed axl all these years because I loved his beliefs and integrity. It's obvious this isn't the same axl. What a shame, he's cashing out. I don't know, maybe he has to, maybe he needs the money but the mystery is gone. The era of vegas axl is in and I don't buy it. That lifetime achievement award was well timed , it signalled the end of an era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynard Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Awesome commercial. Slash fans don't want to accept the fact that Axl is in the spotlight.Hopefully the mods have asked you to play nice as well. Got a public warning for saying I won't buy the new GNR DVD. The leader of the Axl Defense Force says a lot of worse things than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanudo19 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 To me as long as Axl doesnt go all political saying the things people wanna hear instead of the truth he has integrity to me. I couldnt care less if he does a commercial every once in ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Fans always think it is great when artists sell their music to them. But as soon as an artist sells their music to corporations that is "selling out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smakci Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I like it , and i think that it is good that he does it now and again...but if u were a fan of GNR back in 90s and then you have stoped fallowing them, would u recognize AXL at the end ? or would u say who is that guy?

But as soon as an artist sells their music to corporations that is "selling out".To me, selling out would be someone who endorses a product that they would never use themselves. If Axl drinks Bud, I hope he got a lifetime supply and taps open the keg of Bud at future GNR concerts. If I was endorsing Bud and had a thirsty crowd, damn right I'd be handing out cups to the crowd the way he handed the donuts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR41 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Haha the guys from Vision of Disorder make fun of the Axl Budweiser commercial in their newest Dead Bloated Morrison podcast (episode 20). It starts at 4:30. Check it out on iTunes if you are curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
