Liquor & Whores Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Sorum also needs some media attention these days, he has no band, trying to sell some clothes... to make ends meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 i dont find anything wrong with what Matt has to saysome of you guys blow every little detail out of proportionAgreed. Some words by him, which are neither really surprising, nor that far off that anyone else couldn't have had that idea (of Axl giving a little extra in his performance).

tbaugerud Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Matt who?exactly Matt always has things to say about Axl. The guy needs to find a hobby, honestly.I don't think this statement was disrespectful from Matt. To the contrary, I think it was laid-back and objective.

Orsys Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think I will go with Duff's version of events.Matt has bugged me ever since he made the "what's with the piano?" comment. You mean what's with the instrument that the most important member of the band plays?Matt should just shut up and drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Sorum is a good drummer (I think his drumming on UYI is great) and for some reason he seems like a nice dude, to me at least. He actually knows Duff and Axl, so he can say whatever he wants. We all have opinions here and so does he. No need to bash the guy. But I don't think "Axl sang for Duff". I wasn't there but if Sorum sees it that way, then okay. Edited December 20, 2010 by jekylhyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAFC Nick Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I was there, and I would say that Axl wasn't there singing for Duff.I think he may have been a bit nervous that Duff was there, but the show was top notch, and Axl seemed to perform as well as the previous night.

Rovim Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Sorum won't use a blue marker to give signatures. That's fucked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Matt is correct. watch the video and you will see Axl look directly into Duff's eyes and sing " I'll rip your heart in two". I noticed it the first time and thought it was odd. Axl had a wierd vibe to him when they shared the stage in London. It is a fact that Matt saved the band back in the day, so all the people who say he ruined UYI are fucking morons. Furthermore, who cares if some guy is banned and signs up again to voice his opinion. That just proves how pointless it is to ban someone on a fucking forum.

That just proves how pointless it is to ban someone on a fucking forum.The problem is, this particular guy signs up with account after account posting the same negative shit attacking the band, Axl, or reunion masturbation IN THE MAIN SECTION. He never partakes in any of the other sections, EVER. The guy is the very definition of a cupcake.He has had approximately ten to twelve accounts, all of which were banned each time for the same reason.

RocketQueen1985 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Matt who?exactly Matt always has things to say about Axl. The guy needs to find a hobby, honestly.And when he isn't talking about Axl, he's talking about Scott Weiland. At least Axl and Scott actually still have a career, they are great frontmen and will be remembered. Matt Sorum? Does anyone who is not a GNR or VR fan even know who he is? I actually used to like Matt, but when VR was together he would say that he didn't miss working with Axl at all, then when Scott left/got kicked out of VR (whoevers story you wanna believe) he said that at least Axl could attract a big crowd and Scott couldn't. He is so full of shit. And his laugh is incredibely annoying! Edited December 20, 2010 by RocketQueen1985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glow Inc. Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) I don't have any problem with people who don't consider NuGnR to be GnR at all for the record.I'd personally rather have the band called something else : less whining from the fanbase, less abuse towards the musicians, less legal bullshit, more Chinese less Appetite, perfect...But at least have some coherence : if Dizzy isn't a real member, neither is Matt or Gilby. If it's okay to have Izzy replaced, I don't see why it isn't to have Slash replaced : they both contributed to the original band in their own special way. Or at least have the honnesty to admit that GnR = Slaxl for you, which is the case for quite a big part of the fanbase... EDIT : @ AngelZ : yes, I reckon that if NuGnR had released music on a regular fanbase since 1997, there would be less hostility towards the band and it would have been more accepted now.It is what it is unfortunately...

According to the current lawsuit against activision, Axl is the only member of GNR , and that fact is backed up by everyone leaving the band over the course of all the years. I dont care about the name. Alot of other succesful bands have used band names to promote records and sell-out concerts. GNR=Slaxl for me? Never said that. Never implied it either. And I suppose a large part of the fan base is Axl/Slash, but that is no different than any other worldwide group(u2-bono/the edge, The Stones mick/keith, Zeppelin page/plant, Beatles lennon/mccartney). Only the diehards care about the larry mullens, izzys, charlie watts, or John paul jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
