Popular Post Frey Posted October 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) 3 hours ago, Babooshka said: I think the reason it’s an issue is because this is one of the complaints Axl had about Slash, Duff and Matt, which his fans then bashed them for. That they were a clique who left him out, and that people sided with Slash. It was also one of the many excuses used to justify why he got a hold of the band. So it’s interesting to see if things have changed, and it doesn’t seem as if they have, because he still separates himself from the group. Which is what many people thought the problem was all along, he's done it with all incarnations of the band. It’s his prerogative, but I don’t fault Sluffatt for his issues. Yeah but people started bashing Axl for no reason whatsoever. Since when does a random guy on twitter count as a reliable source? Once again, over the top drama about nothing at all. Why not wait until you have more credible information than a useless twitter post before attacking someone? It really isn't that hard and we got confirmation that Axl was in fact on the plane with everyone else pretty quickly. Also, looking at things from Axl's point of view, it really isn't that incomprehensible that he would isolate himself a bit, both back then and now. Back then he was the only one who didn't drink and do drugs (out of concern for his voice and because of the meds he was taking, among other reasons). While the rest of them were boozing and doing drugs like there was no tomorrow. It's not fun to hang out with people like that as the only sober guy. Not to mention that there was significant tension between them by the time Axl started to isolate himself more, some of which was also caused by the actions (and non-actions) of Slash and Duff. And today... Slash and Duff have been friends the entire time, they're practically family, they have wives/girlfriends, children, responsibilities. They're all incredibly close, they celebrate birthdays with each other, Duff's kids call Slash "Uncle Slash", etc. Axl on the other hand is an eternal man-child with a Brazilian nanny and a weird entourage. He leads a completely different life than they do and has only just started to reconnect with Slash and Duff. He missed out on decades of their lives and considering how close they all are, I wouldn't be surprised if Axl feels awkward and out of place now among the entire Sluff clan, like I mentioned in one of my earlier posts. It will take some time if they really want to get over that. Edited October 26, 2016 by Frey 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not and never has been a teetotaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not and never has been a teetotaller. I don't think Axl never drank or did drugs. But compared to Slash and Duff? The amount of drugs and alcohol Axl consumed was probably next to nothing. And it already was like that before the UYI period too. I remember Slash saying that Axl didn't go out drinking with them all that often because it was bad for his voice. Whatever you want to say about Axl, he was handling the drugs and the drinking way more responsibly than the other guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AxlRoseCDII Posted October 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2016 As someone who suffers from various mental illnesses, I cannot express how important space is for internal peace. Axl is Axl. His brain is who he is. I can definitely relate to how Axl feels. Even whenever you make a life change, you'll still have that brain forever. Let the guy have some peace, it doesn't mean he does not consider Slash and Duff his best buddies. I have many close friends who sometimes I just require space from. It's who Axl is: plus remember we only see him on the front of stage, smiling, laughing and being social. We don't see him off stage, how he truly lives his life. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he hasn't been a teetotaller, but there's a big difference between occasional drinking, smoking pot, even doing some coke once in a while, and having a habit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you initially said he didn't drink or do drugs, but I agree he didn't have a habit like others. And really the point is basically what you described, whether addicts or sober family men, there are always going to be reasons why Axl separates himself from Sluff. Because ultimately it isn't really about them. Though I doubt it's much of an issue as it was previously. There's probably now a better understanding between them all.

Asia Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Please stop calling Axl mentally ill. Who ever told you he's mentally ill? And please just end the plane topic already. I made one lose comment with lots of IFs, never said he was an asshole, only that if he continued to travel alone in his private plane, showing off, then he would behave and look like an asshole, other than that there were maybe three negative comments, sort of sounding a bit like joke or at least deliberately exaggerated and there come dozens of pseudo psychologists, blowing this out of proportion, explaining to us the inner workings of Axl's mental illness that he dosnt have that supposedly justifies his absence on the plane even though he was present. This is just beyond ridiculous now, let's focus on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KeyserSoze Posted October 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) How does everything turn into a Axl v. Slash or an Axl v. band argument? Don't we love this band? Aren't we happy they are back together? Isnt that why we are here? who gives a single shit how Axl got there? Hes there. Trust me. He will show up on that stage tomorrow. And why does it matter what drugs or drink axl took? I can damn sure tell you that neither I, nor probably you were there to see it, so we cant speak or defend Axl or anyone else. Come on man. We are here to enjoy these shows. These are the best times on the boards. No one knows what to expect, but we are all excited as fuck. Its like taking a moment to enjoy something you really care about in this fucked up world where we always seem to be so busy all the time. Lets get back on topic eh?

I obviously meant what Blackstar said. Thinking he's a teetotaller would be pretty ridiculous. And no it's not. What I described were legitimate or at least underestandable reasons, provided as counter arguments to people claiming he wasn't on the plane because he's too full of himself or too much of an asshole. 1 hour ago, AxlRoseCDII said: As someone who suffers from various mental illnesses, I cannot express how important space is for internal peace.

Probably plays a role as well. 49 minutes ago, Asia said: Please stop calling Axl mentally ill. Who ever told you he's mentally ill? He himself talked about being so depressed he didn't leave the house for years apparently. Some producer even followed him around his house, trying to provoke a reaction from him to get him out of his apathetic state. What else would you call severe depression except a mental illness? And even before the mystery years, it always was pretty obvious that something was off about him. His behavior has been that of a mentally unstable person right from the start. Even Duff has implied on multiple occassions that Axl's mentally ill. Edited October 26, 2016 by Frey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
