All? Wow!!! 

I don't know how IG works. But I know that, at least in recent past, from time to time she used to close or hide her FB account. No reason given, just gone. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, everything was back again.

What I'm saying is that her IG may be up a running again in the near future. If she is following the same patron. As I said before so far her FB page is still there with all the Axl pictures and videos.

I think IG works differently. You can deactivate your profile, but if you do that no one will be able to find you. Once you reactivate it, all your posts will be shown again. Erin's profile is active, she just has no posts.  Also, you can set your profile to private (which she has done) and other people have to send a request to follow you. But you cannot really hide your posts from your followers. 

If you are not following her, you are still able to see the number of posts and followers she has.

The follow up question of the "especially with Slash" 1992 interview always cracks me up

INTERVIEW: But a band is like a multiple marriage, right?

AXL: Yeah, it's kinda like a marriage and a half. Or a marriage and a household.
 

Axl was like no, i'm married only to Slash, the others are part of the household

Maybe now after years of distance he thinks that the relationship was more charged that a normal friendship and he downplays it because he cant explain to himself it was so complicated?

Axl doesn't give a fuck, he compared it to a marriage (it was a divorce) in 2000 during the rolling stone interview 

This is a good point and I tend to agree with it.

Axl has always been pretty open and honest about his feelings, no matter what it made him look like (though he doesn't talk about them in public much anymore these days...), but Slash is a guy who's very concerned about his image and likes to "look cool". Having a weirdly charged and intense relationship with your crazy lead singer was probably kind of embarrassing to Slash in hindsight. Especially because Axl was talking a lot of shit about Slash during these years which probably hurt Slash's pride (not to mention his feelings), so he tried to downplay everything for that reason too.

(But as soon as they were talking to each other again, Slash also started saying nice things about Axl again. Not on the same level as back then, but at least he said some stuff about how Axl is one of his top 3 best frontmen of all time, how Axl is incredibly intelligent and talented, etc... )

@Lumikki i have this two quote about Slaxl as a marriage, both by Axl

INTERVIEW: Do you think that having a relationship with a band, has to do with the same things as having a relationship with a person?

AXL: Yes, l think so. Especially with Slash and it’s definitely a marriage ( 1992)

 

Slash’s name pops up repeatedly, invoked in a way that suggests a shellshocked husband speaking of an ex-wife after a particularly horrific divorce. “It is a divorce,” Rose says with a sad stare.  (Rolling Stone, 2000)

That sentence always makes me sad, because I can see it very clearly.

There's also this quote of Slash (from his book interestingly enough, because it goes against other things he says in there) comparing his break-up with Axl to his divorce with Renee:

Slash on splitting with Axl and divorce: In retrospect, it’s kind of interesting that I suddenly had disconnected with the two most long-term, closest relationships I had had up to that point, just a matter of months apart. (....)

Yes, very interesting, Slash, but what I think is even more interesting is that Axl apparently was one of only two people that Slash had his "most long-term and closest relationships" with at that point.

On the same level as his wife. Can't get much closer and higher on the list than that.

And another quote from Slash comparing his break-up with Axl to his divorce from Renee  http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=34

I couldn’t go on like that. It just appeared obvious to me that I had to leave, it was a question of survival. It’s been four years already… I haven’t talked to Axl since. Now that I think about it, I remember I divorced at about the same time ! (laughs) Let’s say I went through a difficult period of my life.

So that's four marriage/divorce analogies already (and by both of them!)

EDIT: No it's actually five times they've compared their relationship to a marriage/divorce, since I forgot to count the Snakepit story @Asia mentioned.

That story about Axl wanting to move in with Slash and them going house shopping together will always be one of my favorite Slaxl tidbits lol.

Makes me sad for Axl though, if he really was as excited about it as described. Must have been a huge disappointment for him when Slash backed out at the last moment.

Husband?  All i see is 2 bitches.

To be fair to the insufferable prick though its more than plausible that hes a GnR fan.  Hip Hop DJs have to have a very wide musical knowledge for their job, i was suprised to discover he's a Stone Roses fan.

Yes, he looks way better in a dress than Slash (or Duff) and is much more effeminate in general lol.

Axl used to be so girly and androgynous looking that he got harrassed by random guys even without a dress. If he'd actually worn women's clothes it would have been ten times worse even.

And if even Slash somehow managed to pass as a woman and got hit on by a lot of guys that one time he went out dressed like a chick, Axl would definitely have attracted a lot of attention.

(Hell, even I think Axl looks like a cute chick in some of these really old pictures and I'm not someone who's into other dudes lol.)

Yes, i think he's more moderated now about his statement about Axl because when they  got talking again it could still explode in his face and then how would he look like?

But he slipped with the like on the flop Dj Ashba tatoo photo, it was an act of passive-aggressive possessiveness (MY band, MY singer) 

 

About the quotes in pink, the only think i can say it's "but we aren't soulmates or anything" 

[Lumikki]

I don't think Axl ever looked girly enough that I would have mistaken him for a woman, but he was definitely quite androgynous and in my experience a lot of men immediately think someone's female as long as they look and dress vaguely feminine, so no wonder Axl and even Slash () had men hitting on them or even harrassing them. I think Axl could have passed for a girl though if he had actually tried to.

Apart from his glam days, I think Axl looked rather girly in this photoshoot. Something about the bangs/pony tail and the clothes probably lol.

 

Also in these pictures, especially compared to Slash and Duff:

Actually Axl was pretty girly in that entire photoshoot (maybe I should post all the pictures I've come across from that photo shoot in a separate post some time? It's one of my favorite photo shoots lol.)

 

Glammy Axl obviously was pretty girly too:

 

Also in these:

I'll stop with the girly Axl spam now or this post will become endless

(Beause I loooove girly Axl )

I loved him being a passive-aggressive little snake about the DJ thing hahaha.

And yes, it's pretty funny when you compare quotes like

 

We'll just sit up all night and talk, and it's me and Axl talking. It goes beyond anything you could write down… (Slash, Tears Before Bedtime, Q, July 1991)

It's a matter of sitting down with somebody you love very much and like going 'you know let's try this' and he goes 'yeah, it's a great idea'

Me and Axl and Duff are obviously way the fuck more close and personal than they can even possibly put out in some magazine. (Coiled and Ready Rolling Stone, April 1995)

Slash on splitting with Axl and divorce: In retrospect, it’s kind of interesting that I suddenly had disconnected with the two most long-term, closest relationships I had had up to that point, just a matter of months apart. (....) (Anthony Bozza – Slash)

(...) There were moments there when I loved him to death (Anthony Bozza – Slash)

"Axl, it is said, is a notoriously difficult character to deal with. How do the two of you get along as people, outside the band?" "We love each other" [slash in "The Most Dangerous Band in the World by Mick Wall, 1988]

INTERVIEW: Do you think that having a relationship with a band has to do with the same things as having a relationship with a person?

AXL: Yes, l think so. Especially with Slash and it's definitely a marriage. (Interview Magazine, May, 1992)

Now that I think about it, I remember I divorced at about the same time ! (laughs) Let’s say I went through a difficult period of my life.

(plus the quote @Asia described on the previous page - "I remember how in the first snakepit era he was saying in one of the MTV interviews that he and Axl are a marriage just without the opposite sex. And Eric Dover interfered to add that also without consumating. It was kinda funny." - and of course Axl wanting to buy a house together with Slash )

 

with the "We were never really that close anyway" narrative Slash tried to spin more recently (and which also gets touted a lot by random posters on this forum).

Something doesn't really add up here, Slashy

 

I took most of these quotes from a post that was made a while ago here, so thanks to @SerenityScorp for posting and @Asia for apparently making that post in the first place (I had never seen it before, so I don't where you originally posted this).

How "close", Slash?
