Axl vs Slash on Twitter?

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose and ex-Guns guitarist Slash got into a war of words on Twitter this week, according to Blabbermouth.net. Slash tweeted on Wednesday (January 13th) that he was "looking into organizing a big fund raiser concert for Haiti," referring to the deadly earthquake that devastated the island nation and killed tens of thousands on Tuesday (January 12th). But Axl later shot back, "Pretty low n' selfish usin' the devastation in Haiti 2 start (false) reunion rumors. R hearts n' prayers go out to the Haitian people."

There's no indication that Slash said anything about a Guns N' Roses reunion in relation to raising money for the Haitian crisis.

Meanwhile, the current edition of Guns N' Roses kicked off its first Canadian tour in nearly two decades on Wednesday night in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The band's three-hour set encompassed more than two dozen songs, most of them taken from the group's classic 1987 debut, Appetite For Destruction, and its latest effort, 2008's Chinese Democracy.

Both the Canadian press and Rolling Stone had words of praise for the gig, with the latter calling it a "triumphant return to North America."

The band, of which Rose is the sole remaining original member, has not yet announced any U.S. dates, although it's played a handful of Asian shows and is headed to South America in the spring.

ROSE DISMISSES GUNS N' ROSES REUNION FOR HAITI

AXL ROSE has ruled out any chance of an original GUNS N' ROSES reunion, insisting even the Haiti earthquake wouldn't prompt him to stage a one-off charity get together.

The rocker fired off a Twitter.com post to ex-bandmate Slash last week (ends15Jan10) after the guitarist suggested a big-name concert should be arranged to help the relief effort in Haiti.

Thinking his ex-bandmate was suggesting Guns N' Rose should reform for the event, Rose took to Twitter.com and posted, "Pretty low n' selfish usin' the devastation in Haiti 2 start (false) reunion rumors. R hearts n' prayers go out to the Haitian people."

But, further study of Slash's original message revealed he wasn't suggesting a reunion. He wrote, "looking into organizing a big fund raiser concert for Haiti."

The latest Twitter.com controversy between the two former pals comes as the latest incarnation of Guns N' Roses embarks on its first Canadian tour in nearly 20 years. Shows began in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Wednesday (13Jan10).
