RONIN Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 After today's news, can anyone really disagree with Jason's assessment of this band? 100% truth in that interview. At least Metallica gives their fans what they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Seal Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Who cares? He is talking about something that has been covered to death and buried about 1000 times already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Can't really fault what he's saying. I think everyone in GNR around that time (with the exception of Matt Sorum who bought into the 'dangerous' Schtick) grew to feel the same way about how Axl behaved. Of course it would teach others how not to go about their business. At the same time you can point to Some Kind of Monster to remind Jason how that worked out for him and Metallica.

That's how Matt talks about it now, but according to Mark Putterford he tried to attack Axl when he showed up late 2,5 hours in Dallas in 1991 because he was fed up with his bullshit.

patiencepatience Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Something really hit a nerve with this guy and I think I can tell exactly what it is. Jealousy. The amount of venom and spite in his voice and face is laughable. Fuck this guy. Anyone listen to Lars on Stern??? He has six men to "strech him out for three hours" on a table before each show and uhhh eats oat pancakes prepared by a chef. Metallica is a great band with an amazing track record but they will NEVER go down in rock like GNR. And to trash talk GNR relentlessly says more about them than it does about Guns. What a tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why some people here have such a problem with this guy speaking the truth. You guys act like he's talking about your family.

Not everyone lives in America... (fortunately) I'm not even a Metallica fan and I'm not debating their music, but I'm able to admit when someone states the truth, which is the case here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted May 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2017 Oh god, sycophancy of the highest order. Why do gnr fans feel the need to display their credentials at dick sucking? People are allowed to criticise them. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tori72 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 He is so right on this one. Metallica always worked hard to stay something like a prober, funtioning band who give their fans what they want. Especially today after those yuuuge news we got, what is there to discuss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Newstead is right but, as far as the "they went on late depending on when homeboy wanted to go on or whenever his psychic said" is freaking hilarious beyond belief I mean it's true that those things happened but, they're in the past. Axl goes on time now so, Jason comes off pretty salty in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, I mean... he was doing an interview and they asked him about his experiences touring with GnR... so he talked about the experience. Big deal. This is not the first time he talked about this and it probably won't be the last because that's how interviews work. As an interviewee you can count on getting asked the same questions all the time. At least he's keeping his story straight and not saying something different every time. What is lame, though, is making a thread about it every single time another musician makes a comment on GnR so that all the 12 year olds can come in here to get their panties in a twist over it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan H. Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I didn't watch the video, but was he asked to comment by the reporter or did he bring up GNR on his own? If he was asked I see absolutely nothing wrong with him answering honestly, and wouldn't really fit with the jealousy narrative going around. I doubt he's jealous of GNR, regardless of how much money they make. I mean, I'm not jealous of GNR, but I tend to agree with his sentiments. Axl burned a lot of bridges, and people had plenty of good reasons to dislike him. He's making up some ground nowadays, but I doubt he will ever fully mend his reputation in the industry.

RONIN Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I'm really curious what exactly went down behind the scenes on this tour. The bitterness from Jason makes it almost seem like we all heard a really sanitized version of what really happened on that tour. It sounds to me like he saw stuff from GnR that was really shocking and loathsome (beyond the riot stuff). Edited May 25, 2017 by RONIN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
