magisme Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 If this is him, is anyone else thinking possibly imminent meltdown, possibly imminent tour cancellation? Honestly, that's what came to mind after my first thought was, "No way Axl wrote that." Seriously, unless he was just being drunk or high and using bad judgment, these sound like the ramblings of a mad man. It can't really be him, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Either Axl didn't write this, or in his off time he's become such a raging alcoholic that he thought this was a good idea (and it explains the writing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericy210 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I love Axl, but this is embarrassing. I cringe at his overly-complex, almost legalize phrasing, "I enjoyed the show and I've no idea what the real story is nor would I want to suggest or imply anyone wasn't actually performing or that what they were playing wasn't what we actually heard." It's like "no x nor y, but not c nor d." I struggle to come up with why this even matters. I do think it's him. It is so like the written rants of the past. I just wish this wasn't the first I've heard from him in ages. And please, no reruns of prior tours with a couple swapped songs.I don't own Axl and he doesn't owe me anything. But I wish we'd see a progression of new material, experiments, side projects, etc like a Trent Reznor or Dave Grohl or Metallica. I'm frustrated this is big news to GNR fans. I hope he's just getting excited about coming out on tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Lol people questioning this, what about when he is being sarcastic between songs or making funny high pitches noises or in jokes with the Crew? ?.I think it's axl because he is aways joking around.Chilli pepper are the talk of Hollywood right now and they are a band in GNR 'league'... its the equivalent for him posting on a forum, really. Many celebs have commented on the Superbowl. I just thought it was cool to hear from Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I just want to know who got a hold of Axl and or where they found him! Usually celebrities say something on twitter or whatever, but this seems to come out of nowhere. If it is Axl I think it's great! The less we understand him the better his performances are! I'll re read it but I don't think it's him unless he's the Super Bowl performer next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Since you guys are assuming it's Axl, would you brush it off so easily if someone like Kiedis publicly called NuNuNu a karaoke act or something similar, like a cover band, assuming it was just a joke?

LuanVictor Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) It was Axl, GN'R shared the link on facebook.Funny thing is that he's saying shit about a band that actually cares about their fans and releases new music. Anyway, probably just a joke. Edited February 5, 2014 by LuanVictorxD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Axl spoke to the press a month before the last residency in Vegas. Might want to get his name out there for when the announcement is happening. Reporters usually comment on why else an artist made the headlines when they report on something...like "GNR are ready for a 2nd stint in Vegas, rose who recently claimed Flea had a Google chip in his ass at the superbowl, is set to bring the jungle back to Vegas may through june" Etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
