Slash is sick of the media creating GNR conflict


Recommended Posts

They don't want to know what happened, they just need to label the bad guy to make their story ...

Are you saying they have pick Axl as the bad guy. I think there's undercurrent of that, in interviews the interviewer seems to be insinuating Axl as the bad guy and Slash just shrugs it off, kind of agreeing.

But I haven't seen a real Axl is the bad guy piece. Especially recently, maybe it's cos I only look at current band stuff. Which seems positive and doesn't dwell on the breakup much.

But Slash is the media boy so anything he has problem with he can set the record straight pretty easily.

I agree. And I still think Slash took it WAY easy on him that book.

Look, Axl is seen as the bad guy for 2 reasons :

- He spent years establishing that he can be one colossal prick. Its not it would be without foundation,

- He never came out and corrected the record. If Slash was supposedly telling all these lies, speak up. Otherwise, that's the version people come to accept as the truth. Way of the world there, I'm afraid.

That's the thing, when I look for these terrible things on both sides I come up short. Axl was late and wanted control of things. What Slash did was leave and blame Axl? I think anyway. That seemed to affect Axl more than Slash thought it would. Axl seems to think its unforgivable and planned. Slash plays the I don't want no trouble mister card, Axl the victim card.

As for the media, they are sharks, they've sold both stories. But the Axl is an asshole more. But I haven't seen it really sensationalised.

Axl seems to have a right to dislike how he's treated by the media. Whereas Slash seems to have created some trouble in that regard for Axl but is now saying it was the media. The media has been kind to Slash, nothing too negative for him. Axl is an asshole? Shrugs. But we love you? Great.

Maybe now Axl has recovered/media has got over Axl being an asshole it's not as useful anymore for Slash to have the media trying to dredge up this feud that seems to have no effect on either of them.

If the negative media made Axl give up using the name or made it unviable to continue as GNR, then it would be worth it. But as Axl has gotten past it and Slash is doing well it's got no use. A feud without a reunion is pointless career wise.

A reunion could still happen.

LOL, could you imagine what a few posters on here would do if the band did reunite and Axl said a whole bunch of nice things about Slash? Their heads would explode. After years of hating a musician simply because Axl does, could they mentally be able to handle it if Axl was suddenly nice to Slash?
Reminds me of that HTGTH cartoon video lol
Here Today Gone To Tool :rofl-lol: that channel was amazing, fuck you jarmo and team brazilianidiots for reporting it and having it shut down :fuckyou:

Old Guns was a Marlboro red, UYI line up was a Cigarette holder, nu Guns was a cigar, Neo Guns is a E-cigarette.

Nu Guns was nicotine gum. You fool yourself for a short time into thinking it'll do the job. Chances are you go back to the real thing. Or you quit altogether.

Slash lied about Axl's integrity and character ... that's why he will never be forgiven, until he say: "I'm sorry for what I said before".

Slash has not lied about Axl's integrity or character. He was there, he was Axl's bandmate for 10 years, he knows Axl better than you. Slash doesn't need to be forgiven and he will never say "I'm sorry" - that's why he refused to apologize when Axl begged for his return to the band.

Yet to the outsider, if Axl was so bad why does Duff still play with him or Izzy for that matter. Why is Slash more butthurt than Izzy? Izzy was treated way worse by Axl. He was relegated to below Slash n Axl for live show cash I think?

Is Slash really that moralistic? You know after all the drugs and addicted to sex and liberal politics if not terrorist stylee and Axl is late and wants to write ballads about high society escorts, that's a big deal?

I don't get it. Did slash just sober up and realise he was Axls bitch?

But he quit. If he so chill why he run away. I'm not trying to be obtuse. I don't get why Izzy quit either.

I think maybe they quit because although they were a huge part of the GNRs success in terms of songwriting and playing Axl took all the glory and it was going to his head. And maybe the direction Axl was heading they would be marginalised?

Izzy quit for 3 reasons: shit got too big for him, he wanted clubs, he got off drugs and couldn't be around Slash and Duff, Axl tried to fuck with his $ and got crazy according to Izzy.

They couldn't be bothered to put up with Axl's shit anymore. Izzy just didn't care. Slash felt like he could make it on his own outside GNR.

Slash thought he could come back, cause he couldn't imagine a Guns N' Roses without him. It was a power move.

I think both Duff and Izzy reached to Axl, not the other way around. Axl is the big crybaby here.

Slash quit because the fat ginger is on an ego trip and thinks he can do GNR by himself. Slash enjoys releasing music, touring the new music, doing interviews, etc. Axl enjoys eating food and 'perfecting' songs for 15 years. Slash is healthier and seems happier doing what he's doing.

Slash doesn't do moralistic. Axl doesn't do normal.

Well, he underestimated how batshit and egomaniacal Axl truly is.

I agree. This is NOT, I repeat, NOT about Salsh: "What were you thinking? cause I don't forget".

We all know Slash did a bad move. In my opinion, it's not why he quit, it's why he signed the name over to Axl and let the crazy one ruin the band.

Exactly. That's Slash's unforgivable act for me.

But you see how it could be the other way round. Slash sees he's got cash and doesn't need Axl. Izzy is fucked up and just doesn't care about being a huge stadium band. Both grew balls they couldn't pay for before they got huge. Same for Axl, you don't like it Ill get Robin Finck or Gilby Clark or Dj or Fortus.

I guess that's the key, Axl is the special one. There's not a ton of megalomaniac singers around who actually have talent.

No matter what people say Axl has something special, so no matter how great Izzy and Slash are they aren't that special. Slash isn't Jimmy Page. Izzy isn't Keef. But Axl is the greatest front man of all time.
