WAR41 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hey Marc,It seems like Teddy has been on good terms with Slash, Duff, Gilby and Matt since the demise of the 90's era GNR. I have never heard anything about his relationship with Axl after the band fell apart. Do they/did they speak after that? It always seemed like Axl liked him, but I only base that on his interactions with him onstage during the Use Your Illusions tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think I remember seeing him at the Halloween parties that Axl put on each year after the split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyman Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I heard those parties were quite legendary. Anything about them you'd like to share?i.e Did he really dress like a dinosaur and call Barney (the dinosaur) a pussy?

Popular Post recklessroad Posted August 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2014 The parties were mostly for Axl's friends that had kids. Sure there were lots of people that were there that were just friends and didn't have kids but it was not what you might expect to see backstage at a GNR gig. Nothing R or X rated. He would spend a lot of money on these parties to make sure that everyone had a good time. Yes Axl would always dress up and have some fun. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really seems like a sweet guy, which is why he is probably easily taken advantage of. I think he just wants to make people happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear I am not suggesting that Axl is a serial killer, but to say that he is a perfect soul because he threw a nice annual Halloween party for children is a bit of a stretch Edited August 7, 2014 by WAR41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy can be an asshole in some contexts and the most charming guy ever in others. People are rarely if ever completely good or evil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think if he was in a better place or maybe got the help he needs he'd be seen in a better light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 He was Slash's guy, brought in to put together the Get in the Ring tour. Gilby was Slash's man also. Incidentally, I saw Teddy play at an Alice Cooper gig a few years ago. He looked like he had been on the pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my coworkers think I'm a funny a nice sarcastically bitter individual who's loyal to the people I get along with. My wife thinks I'm a total asshole to people. More on topic, I remember seeing Teddy on an episode of the price is right a couple of years ago. Pretty cool.

Apollo Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Teddy is in a band right now called Project Rock along with Keri Kelli - who played with Slash for awhile in SnakePit as well as in Adler's Appetite - so not sure if that would have an effect on Axl. Though Kelli might have played on more different artist's albums and toured with more different bands than any guitar player alive today.The band is fronted by Tim Ripper Owens, who sang for Judas Priest when Halford left. I think Rudy Sarzo is also in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
