Plus plus, I found a pic of Axl and Lemmy from Donnington that I haven't seen before. Lemmy lighting a cigarette for Axl

Tumblr is a beautiful place :heart:

Thanks for posting ? That's the b&w photo I had as a keyring years ago and I lost it :( and never found a replacement. 

Axl and Lemmy, both ever the womaniser, destined to never settle down :lol:

Motorhead was the first band I ever saw, if it wasn't for them I might never have been into bands and never be a GNR fan.

 Slash saying in that talk show he started treating Axl with kid gloves after the car incident. He's been babied by the people around him from early on and it hasn't done him any favors imo.

 

Link please

Also, I think I read about tht car accident but I forgot, Could You give Me the details?

@giuls Oh I thought it was the other car accident

Anyway I just remember after watching Slash on talkshow, I wonder if tht christmas cards to Axl tht He talks about is real or not ?

What other car accident?

And why shouldn't it be real? Why would Slash lie about sending Axl Christmas cards? Besides, I think Perla mentioned sending Axl Christmas cards as well once.

@nn18 Finally we have a better version of that picture! :wub: Thank you! Now the only one we still need a better version of is that one I think:

Yes! :dance: I love Wiener Schnitzel as well. (and palačinky too) We also have the best beer (even though his beer gut doesn't need it lol :max:) and absinth :smiley-confused2:.

I really hope they'll play in Prague. And I hope that this time Duff will remember it :max:. When they played in Prague back in 1992, Duff was so fucked up that he found out he'd been in Prague some time later thanks to a stamp in his passport.

He can have ONE beer, because we're nice like that. No more though lol. (And palačinky, is that the plural? I knew I was going to fuck this up somehow :P)

I also just remembered another thing Axl likes (because I had the same thing for lunch today lol). Marillenknödel (apricot dumplings?). I couldn't figure out what they're called in Czech, but I guess you probably have these as well?

I know Axl likes these because when Axl was here in 2006, he specifically asked (!) / demanded for people to bring him some Marillenknödel before he would go on stage (wonder where/when he learned about these? :lol:). For anyone wondering what it is that Axl wanted, it's these things. It's a sweet dish (but also kind of tart because of the apricots) and it's usually eaten as a main course around here (I know eating sweet dishes full of sugar and carbohydrates as the main course in a meal seems insane to Americans and most other people in the world, but that's how we roll in Central Europe :headbang:)

(Axl clearly approves of this way of eating too lol. And it seems like Slash is not the only one with a sweet tooth then ;))

Marillenknoedel-201020583789.jpg

 

I would make Axl all the Marillenknödel he could possibly want :awesomeface: Though they aren't exactly good for his gut either :max:

As for Duff and Prague, yeah, I remember him saying that. BUT I can comfort you- he's been to Prague again since then and has said it's one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. He even wrote quite a bit about Prague in his second book in the chapter about travelling. Screenshot for you:

Huh, is tht a threat or something?

Axl's sister was already backstage and the venue. And the situation was bad there, people were about to riot. And the police said they wouldn't stop people from rioting and destroying everything, so the situation was very dangeros for the people who were already there (like Axl's sister). So they told Axl this to convince him to leave his hotel room.

As for the stuff about Slash and Axl, here is the entire story copied straight out of Slash's book:

It shouldn’t be shocking to hear that it wasn’t always smooth sailing when Axl lived with my
family. As I mentioned, my room was off the living room, down two flights of stairs, under the
garage. For the most part, Axl kept to himself when I wasn’t there, but one morning after I’d left for
work, apparently he wandered up and crashed out on the couch in the living room. In other
households that might not have been that big of a deal, but in ours it was. My grandmother, Ola Sr.,
was our matriarch and that couch was the throne from which she watched her favorite TV shows
every afternoon. When she arrived, right on time to enjoy her regularly scheduled programming, and
found Axl there, sprawled out, Ola Sr. politely roused him. In her sweet, soft, old-lady voice she
asked him to go back downstairs to my room, where he could sleep as long as he liked. For whatever
reason, that didn’t go over well: from what I understand, Axl told my grandmother to fuck off then
stormed downstairs to my room—at least that’s what my mom said.

My mom took me aside when I got home from work, and as easygoing as she is, she insisted that
if Axl was going to live under her roof for even one more day, he needed to apologize to her mother
and promise to never behave that way again. It was my duty to make it happen, which at the time I
didn’t think was that big of a deal.
My mom used to loan me her green Datsun 510, and as Axl and I drove to rehearsal that evening,
I mentioned, in the least confrontational way, that he should probably apologize to Ola Sr. for telling
her to fuck off. I hadn’t known Axl long, but I already knew him well enough to understand that he
was a sensitive, introspective person who endured serious mood swings, so I chose my words
carefully and presented the issue in a very nonjudgmental, objective tone. Axl stared out the window
as I spoke, then he started rocking back and forth in the passenger seat. We were driving on Santa
Monica Boulevard, doing about forty miles an hour, when suddenly, he opened the car door and
jumped out without a word. He stumbled, kind of hopped, and made it onto the sidewalk without
falling. He steadied himself, then took off down a side street without looking back.

I was shocked; I did a U-turn and drove around in vain, looking for him for an hour. He didn’t
show up back at my house that night and he didn’t come to rehearsal for four days. On the fifth day he
appeared at the studio as if nothing had happened. He’d found somewhere else to crash and he never
mentioned it again. It was pretty clear to me from that point forward that Axl had a few personality
traits that set him very far apart from every other person I’d ever known.

And here's the video:

Axl spends his day lurking on here. I'm sure.

A confidential source told me there are a lot of people who lurk this thread, and they are not even members of the forum :ph34r:

So watch out, ladies :smiley-confused2:

Yes that makes sense!

No offense to you Serenity, but you're obviously not a native English speaker, and according to that girl who was at the China Exchange, neither is Sasha.

So yes, all things considered, I think you must be Sasha then :lol::P

Sasha is among us :ph34r:

I can sense it :ph34r:

Princess @Lumikki :heart:

Thank you for all the quotes and transcripts from your Craig Duswalt book!!

I've found all of it very interesting and entertaining. Not very surprised, though, as that is what I pictured Axl like.

Don't know what to say, really... In some way he reminds me of the way French artists used to be. I'm not sure if in the modern age there are a lot of people like Axl still out there. Even modern millionaires are more relaxed and less dependant than what he seems to be.

Co-dependency is not good at all. But at the same time, I think he knows he's so wealthy and financially secure that he will never have to worry about that anymore and that he can afford as many servants as he wants.

Ideally, and this is why I mentioned the french artists or bohemian people from past centuries, Axl's lifestyle is the dream of every artist: not having to worry about any mundane task, only his art. Like, you wake up and you don't have to worry about an empty fridge or if you forgot to pay the electricity bill or the phone bill (because someone else does that for you), don't have to worry about doing the laundry, folding clothes, etc. It's the perfect life, all you care about is nice things :P

But then, it is a drag for the people around you. Like you said, Duswalt had to stay up all night to pay him company, had to get him all types of food so he could pick his fav and on top of it all, had to work on his own things. No matter how much money you make with a job like that, at some point it begins to mess with your health too.

Seems like Axl sleeps during the day and works/ is active during the night.... that is soooo fucked up for your health. I have friends who work in the night shift in public institutions and their mental health and overall health have declined a lot after several years doing that. :mellow:

I know here we usually criticize the Lebeis really bad but man, sometimes I think of how hard it must be to work for Axl and babysit him all day long. I'm not sure I could do such job. Plus, he seems to be a brat and a pain in the ass. Maybe that's why we have not seen much of Beta in this tour. She seems to be slowly "retiring" from her duties and letting Vanessa and Fernando take care of the baby :lol:, they are young and have more energy than her right now. I feel Beta must be tired and the older Axl gets, the more annoying he's going to be. Old men are a pain in the ass and become very demanding and unpleasant when they reach certain age. :rolleyes:

Does the book say why he stopped working for Axl? Did they have a fight or it was a natural falling apart?

Knowing how much of a baby Axl is, I assume switching Duswalt for Beta was a big positive change for him. We all know men can't take care of other people :P so someone like Beta, raised in Southamerica, for sure made a huge difference for Axl in terms of caring, cooking, acting like a mom, etc.

Ok, sorry for the lenghty delirium!  Bear with me, my Beta!! :lol:

By the time they were done eating, it was usually already the early morning hours and everyone was fucking tired. Except Axl, who was still all wired up and full of energy from the concert. So Craig Duswalt had to stay up with him and talk to him until Axl was tired enough and ready to fall asleep :rolleyes: The problem with that being that unlike Axl (who slept till noon from then on) Craig had to get up again in 1-3 hours to do some actual work.

So Craig Duswalt barely got any sleep and worked the entire morning till noon until Axl was done with his beauty sleep. When Axl woke up again, he'd usually wander into Craig's room (which was always right next to Axl's room) like a toddler and say that he was hungry. So then Craig would hand him the room service menu, Axl would choose something and then Craig ordered whatever Axl chose.

In the afternoon, Axl had stuff like psychotherapy, physiotherapy or he worked out on his exercise monstrosity. Evenings were time for getting ready for concerts again and no one wanted to be the one who had to tell Axl that he had to leave now and they were all walking on egg shells around him basically with that issue.

Nothing about that is overly bad, but jeeeez dude, go read a book or watch some TV if you can't fall asleep instead of robbing other people of their sleep by making them tell you bedtime stories or babbling at them for hours. :facepalm: Also how hard can it be to pick up the fucking menu and order room service yourself? :question: Why does he need to wander into his babysitter's room to whine about being hungry instead of just doing it himself? I'm sure Slash or Duff would have just picked up the phone by their bed and ordered whatever they wanted if they were hungry and that's it. (I think Duswalt had some excuse for that, the waiters bothering Axl or whatever, but I wasn't convinced since the waiters also seemed to bother Axl when they were eating/hanging out in Craig Duswalt's room...)

And of course the whole going on stage issue. Iirc, Duswalt said he never talked to Axl about going on stage and never reminded him of how many hours till he had to go on stage again tonight, because he knew it would upset him or something. So because he/they couldn't risk upsetting Axl by telling him he had to go onstage/when he had to go onstage, they resorted to trickery: they faked the schedules with the time lines on it for every show. Basically they moved all the items on the schedule a few hours forward, so Axl would think they had to go on stage earlier than they actually had to when he saw it. This way, they got a few hours buffer zone for Axl's lateness. And yet they still constantly went on stage hours and hours late :scared: The lengths they went to to get Axl on stage at some point of the night instead of just sitting down and talking to him about it are pretty insane.

He also mentioned times where Axl made some insane demands that had to be met or he would refuse to go onstage (like finding an English speaking throat specialist in @Andy14's country shortly before the concert in times where there was no internet or cell phones). Or that one time they had to remind him that his sister might be killed if he didn't go on stage and that finally made him come with them.

There was also something about Axl not paying for stuff himself when out shopping (his babysitters had to do that for him) and not handling his money himself.

@Lumikki Okay, those quotes are bad, he could totally order his own food, like, oh my god, Axl :facepalm: i hope he got better with age

I think that sounds pretty bad as well.

What gets me about all of this is how fucking inconsiderate and self-centered he is. :facepalm: I already thought that when he did that Eddie Trunk interview and said that the only thing that started cutting down the late times was when he realized that he was being hard on the crew. How did he not fucking realize this sooner?! Not everyone can sleep in until noon after being up all night, most people actually have to get up in the morning and do some actual work to keep this show going. Just, how clueless and self-centered can you be?!

Same with Duswalt. Since he was Axl's personal assistant, Axl should have known better than anyone about the work he does. How can he then justify keeping the guy up all night just because he himself can't sleep yet? (And really, what is he? Five? Why does he need someone to keep him company and talk to him until he feels he can go to sleep instead of you know, going to sleep on his own or keeping himself busy until he's tired? Like the adult he actually is supposed to be? :scared:)

And how didn't he realize how hard he made life for all the people who worked for him by making insane demands and refusing to go on stage?

Christ :facepalm:

While there, Axl apparently could never decide what to eat, so they ordered like 5 or 6 different dishes for him and he'd just sit there and eat a little bit of everything from every plate. Okay, a bit excentric and childish, but whatever, they can afford it.

I think that's more than excentric and childish, it's fucking ridiculous. I can just picture that so clearly. King Axl daintily picking various morsels from five different plates while everyone around him is already falling asleep and waiting for him to be done :facepalm:

And that thing about Freddie Mercury. Because Yoda and Elliot Maynard could totally have saved Freddie with the power of magic crystal sculptures, homeopathy and high doses of vitamins (and whatever else they treated Axl with) :facepalm::facepalm:

That happens when you lose sense of reality.

It's a mental disease. We're not talking about a normal person here, remember?

He's living in a bubble and probably, unintentionally, he does all that thinking it is normal :shrugs:

Logically, you'd think all of this is ridiculous and insane. I do, too. But let me tell you I've met someone like that. Someone who was my friend and she was so far removed from reality that I had to get the hell away from her.

You tell them they are fuckin' up, they are acting nonsense, and you expect logic actions from them but then it just doesn't happen and never will.

They also believe, trully believe, what they are doing is harmless.

I've come to the conclusion there's not much you can do about it until they get into fucking therapy and fix themselves :shrugs:

I agree with @killuridols Axl was obviously not mentally well, don't know for sure what he has exactly, not that this excuse him because he should have gotten actual serious help for himself and the other people in his life, i still think it's bad but it explains his behaviour, now he seems to be fine, thank god.

Its not surprising Axl believes all the mumbo jumbo shit, seeing as he was basically raised in a Pentecostal church. They specialise in the art of brainwashing people into believing their preachers can make the blind see, the deaf hear again, the cripples walk... Ya get my drift.

Hey presto, you get a confused guy who walks around finding everything he's been taught to believe is a load of shit! It doesn't shock me in the least that Axl believed these money robbing, soul sucking parasites when they told him a crystal ball will help his psychotic mind. :shrugs:

Yeah, palačiny is the plural but only in a certain case. Don't worry, Czech is a fucking difficult language, even Czech people have problems with it lol. Oh, I LOVE Marillenknödel (in Czech meruňkové knedlíky), he can have as many as he wants :wub:. Slash won't get anything, he's got his guitar case :max:. Lol. 

I can see Duff still can't remeber their Prague gig, it was 1992, not 1991 as he writes lol. But it's great that he KNOWS we're not Czechoslovakia any longer, there are still plenty of people who don't know that (that reminds me that their photographer Kat and I were born in the same country, it can't be coincidence!!! :ph34r:). "Pleasure and pain go hand in hand...". Jesus Duff :facepalm:

It was kind'a  " you killed this one dude, nah u did, no you, we both". It was an honest, magical, hugely IMPORTANT and MUTUAL gesture that shows how healthy/respectfull/chill/cool/mature/FRIENDLY are things on this Guns N' Roses inside world."

If now he can go on time it's because something happened. Either he got professional help or there's a huge punishment if he behaves like that again.

It's pretty hard to kill old habits, you know? It seems he's been a night person since his youth and his profession didn't help to correct that either. So it all became a mess.

The shows are going fine and all but as we read from the Axl and models thread, he still parties the whole night and morning and sleeps in the afternoon.

Makes me wonder who the fuck was up for party on a Monday morning and kept him company :facepalm:

@RochelleRochelle Thank you for posting that! Very interesting. I like the image of Axl running around changing his clothes the entire night. And I think the sensitivity Herb Ritz' speaks of comes through in the pictures.

@killuridols The French artist comparison :lol: But yes, I can see it.

Also, if I'm Sinead O'Connor, then you must be Izzy, because Izzy said a very similar thing once in a worried/disapproving manner about Axl always staying up all night and sleeping all day. That was in the 2000s.  And I'm pretty sure he still does that when he's at home (or out partying again).

Yes, I agree, working for Axl would be a nightmare for me. I practically got anxiety attacks from just reading about the pressure Axl put his employees under when he was being difficult again or when he got one of his strange ideas into his head. Like there was also a story about Axl being bored in Las Vegas and telling Craig to get him some obscure UFO guy who claimed to have been abducted by aliens or something. Again this was the days before internet and everything, so how do you find some random old guy in a huge city and get him to Axl immediately? And that's a mild one compared to situations where potential riots, police etc involved. And you're probably right about Beta. At least she doesn't seem to do much running about anymore. I even noticed that while they were in Vienna. They were there for about 5 days, and Axl holed up in his hotel room for all of them (except to go to the concert). Beta was never seen either, so I'm assuming she stayed inside with Axl. But Vanessa and Fernando were constantly out and about, doing whatever it is they do. And they were also both with Axl when he met with the fans.

I somehow don't remember how he stopped working for Axl. Maybe he didn't go into much detail in his book, but it can't really have been a bad split, because Craig Duswalt was invited to Axl's Halloween parties, seems to be friends with Beta (he mentioned her in an interview once and he even thanks Beta and Del in his book) and he mentions Axl inviting him and his wife for dinner during the time he was recording CD. No idea how their relationship is now after releasing that book though.

And yeah, there's a huge difference between Craig Duswalt and Beta. Craig Duswalt comes across like a nice enough guy, but he was more like a friend (well, a "friend" who works his ass off for you and and is responsible for taking care of your every whim :rolleyes:). He didn't do the caring, parental type thing, no. (Or if he did, he didn't mention it, like he apparently didn't mention a ton of things that happened while he was with Axl to protect Axl's privacy).

"I had to go to church anywhere from three to eight times a week. I even taught Bible school while I was beaten and my sister was being molested. We'd have televisions one week, then my stepdad would throw them out because they were satanic. I wasn't allowed to listen to music. Women were evil. Everything was evil. I had a really distorted view of sexuality and women. I remember the first time I got smacked forlooking at a woman. . . it was a cigarette advertisement with two girls coming out of the water in bikinis. I was just staring at the TV--not thinking, just watching--and my dad smacked me in the mouth. . . the Bible was shoved down my throat, and it really distorted my point of view." "Nothing ever happened to me. I watched my father speak in tongues and people interpret it. I watched him sing in perfect Japanese - and my dad doesn't know Japanese - and sing every note right on key with his eyes closed, driving 100 miles an hour down the freeway and not hitting a car. I don't know how that happened. I've seen people healed... I've seen people with no eyes read. It was very strange, but nothing ever happened to me. I always won all the bible contests. I taught Sunday school. I played piano. I knew more gospel songs than anybody I knew."

Experiences like the bolded absolutely must mess with the mind of a young impressionable child, even if they're all fake miracles and there are rational explanations for these things (I mean that nonsense babbling they do in pentecostal churches might very well seem like Japanese to a child who doesn't know any better for example). Still, so terrifying. Speeding down a highway with your eyes closed while pretending to sing in fake Japanese. With your kids in the car. What a despicable loon that guy must have been.

Same with Duswalt. Since he was Axl's personal assistant, Axl should have known better than anyone about the work he does. How can he then justify keeping the guy up all night just because he himself can't sleep yet? (And really, what is he? Five? Why does he need someone to keep him company and talk to him until he feels he can go to sleep instead of you know, going to sleep on his own or keeping himself busy until he's tired? Like the adult he actually is supposed to be? :scared:)

And how didn't he realize how hard he made life for all the people who worked for him by making insane demands and refusing to go on stage?

Christ :facepalm:

I agree with @killuridols Axl was obviously not mentally well, don't know for sure what he has exactly, not that this excuse him because he should have gotten actual serious help for himself and the other people in his life, i still think it's bad but it explains his behaviour, now he seems to be fine, thank god. 

I think Axl (sometimes at least) honestly doesn't realize how difficult he can make life for the people around him. But he does seem willing to work on changing his behavior at least if ithese issues are pointed out to him. And yes, he does seem much better about that stuff nowadays. (Though who knows what goes on behind the scenes :P)

Yeah, palačiny is the plural but only in a certain case. Don't worry, Czech is a fucking difficult language, even Czech people have problems with it lol. Oh, I LOVE Marillenknödel (in Czech meruňkové knedlíky), he can have as many as he wants :wub:. Slash won't get anything, he's got his guitar case :max:. Lol. 

I can see Duff still can't remeber their Prague gig, it was 1992, not 1991 as he writes lol. But it's great that he KNOWS we're not Czechoslovakia any longer, there are still plenty of people who don't know that (that reminds me that their photographer Kat and I were born in the same country, it can't be coincidence!!! :ph34r:). "Pleasure and pain go hand in hand...". Jesus Duff :facepalm:

 

That's what SEPTEM wrote in the thread: 

"did anybody noticed the axl/slash thing right before TIL last verse??

It was kind'a  " you killed this one dude, nah u did, no you, we both". It was an honest, magical, hugely IMPORTANT and MUTUAL gesture that shows how healthy/respectfull/chill/cool/mature/FRIENDLY are things on this Guns N' Roses inside world."

Poor Slash. Even our dumplings are healthier than that crap in his guitar case :P

Yeah, I know, I often hear people say Czechoslovakia as well, especially Americans (probably the same people who also constantly confuse Austria with Australia and bitch about our lack of kangaroos...). So Duff is already one step ahead there, you go Duff lol. (And yeah, clearly that can't be coincidence. You must be destined to become part of Axl's entourage as well :awesomeface: Get me in there as well, when you've managed to do that!)

Can you post that gif here as well? I somehow must have missed it when I scrolled through that thread.

That's the gayest he's been in all these years. And I don't mean anything bad when I use the word gay (so for the lurkers, dont get offended!)

What I'm saying is that last night when he appeared wearing that I couldn't help noticing how much of a female he looked like :facepalm:

You know I dig the whole Janis outfit, not the tranny outfit though :smiley-confused2:

I quite like this "acdc" vest:

but not the one he wore yesterday :max:

He must be kidding us lol. We need to give you instructions when you meet him - things to do, list of questions, fashion police etc. He's gonna love us :rofl-lol:

@Lumikki right, Czechoslovakia and Australia, a way to go haha

here's the gif, I couldn't find a better video, so you can't see Slash's reaction...
