andy-robertson Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 This observation of mine is completely tongue in cheek as far as I'm concerned, but I know how much people on here love to over analyse things and look for hidden meaning. So here goes...Just started watching " " (I think it's from sometime this week) on YouTube. Anyway, Slash is wearing a Mickey Mouse t-shirt... but instead of Mickey's face, there's a red star with what looks like a cross (X) over it...!!!!Mickey Mouse... Often used as a metaphor for Axl's voice, Axl has himself worn a Mickey Mouse shirt recently (I think?)Red star... China, Chinese Democracy, album artwork...The cross (X)... Slash is anti-Axl, taking the piss out of the whole thing, hates Chinese Democracy...Dun-dunn-derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burden Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Slash has wasted the last 20 years in pettiness and bitterness. By the numerous songs he has since released he has proven that he is a great guitarist and an average songwriter. He left Guns N' Roses volunatarily because Axl refused to let him be the primary songwriter. In retrospect this was a blessing for Slash and GnR as he would have ruined the legacy of old Guns N' Roses. Axl and Izzy were the major force behind GnR, Duff was the engine, and Slash was a creative genius when he had the right song to work his magic on. But he is not a primary songwriter though and that is a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppruks Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think it has more to do with disney... and it's not just a cross, it's an upside down cross and then there's a pentagram... maybe saying that disney is of satan... I think it has nothing to do with Gn'R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumbleine Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I really don't think Slash would fuck with Axl in this way.I have nothing but admiration for Slash and find this hard to believe.but it did get me thinking.fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy-robertson Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Just want to make it clear that although I started this thread, it was a bit of a joke and I see this as nothing more that the fact that Slash *likes the t-shirt*...

Janis Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Just watched 5 mins of that Slash live in NY and I can't help but already cringe at Myles frontman abilities. He's a good technical singer but he has no presence and doesn't sing with any emotion in my opinion. Why are people always praising him? He's not a natural frontman and the way he tries to energise the crowd seems so forced and he just generally looks uncomfortable. I don't know why Slash think he has chemistry with this guy. I don't see it on stage at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Growing up in SoCal is reason enough to wear a shirt like that. Surprised the thread hasn't been moved yet. It's too weak of a connection to Chinese Democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just did an interview where he said Slash came in with a bunch of songs that were not good but the band was willing to work with 2 or 3 of them. Slash took his ball and did his Snakepit thing which used those 2-3 songs. he then quit for whatever reasons you cite - but he quit. Axl could not fire him. Duff stayed on for 2-3 years but left because of the slow progress of a new album and the fact that the working hours were not conducive to a family life. He also saw that Axl was not in a good state and that without Izzy who was going to write the songs. It's easy to blame everything on Axl but the fact is that is Slash didn't run away like a baby and didn't do a thousand press interviews criticizing Axl that GnR would probably be intact and probably have Izzy back by now as well.Slash is the only person who is constantly trying to promote himself while blaming Axl for everything. Slash quit, he should be man enough to admit it and move on with his life. It's 20 years ago already!!! That is a long time - i feel bad for Slash that he can't move on with his life.

But you don't have to quit. Slash and Duff could have as easily waited it out and refused to work on Axl's time. What's the difference? The fact is that Slash quit 15 years ago!!! yet today he refuses to let it go. He also has released 6 mediocre albums which proves he was not the primary songwriter. His ego got so big he thought he wrote the structure of those songs. The most telling thing about Slash is that he didn't even recognize the potential of the Sweet Child O' Mine rift. Slash needs someone to write songs for him and he can layer over his fantastic solos. Isn't Axl really a control freak in Slash's mind because Slash really wanted the control?
