Huge fan Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Slash has said that none of Guns N' Roses initially wanted to attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. The Appetite For Destruction lineup was inducted in 2012, but only Slash, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler attended - together with later member Matt Sorum.

Snowmass Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks for posting.....cool interview and some cool pictures of Guns. Good quote - "But I don't spend my time thinking about what you guys are thinking about! You know? It's all whatever happens, happens and in the meantime I'm doing other stuff."

maynard Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Good to have a Slash thread here!Nice interview. Didn't know he was releasing albums without a major label, he still gets good sales regardless.About the HOF, everything has been said and discussed, so I'll pass. Won't be part of a possible HOF cupcake fest v. 154,056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Funny how Axl pulled out at the 11th hour, would explain the sighting of him in the vicinity the night before. Maybe the lamb was off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Angelica Posted February 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2014 Funny how Axl pulled out at the 11th hour, would explain the sighting of him in the vicinity the night before. Maybe the lamb was off.Or the peas accidentally brushed against the mashed potatoes. Either way it was a sign, and you can't expect Axl to function under those conditions. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It's likely very true that neither Slash nor Axl think about the GNR heyday and reunion possibilities nearly as much as we do.Popcorn, OTOH... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Cool interview.No reason for Slash to consider a reunion with Axl. He's doing great with his current projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I think that is typical Slash posey guitarist bullshit about not wanting to go (a la ''I hate Sweet Child O' Mine''). He would have been there. Slash was always going to be there. The only person more desperate in fact would be Adler. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To cry about it ? Of course he says he doesnt want to, he knoes axl will never agree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I figure it won't be too long before we are Gn'R-educated by some kids who were in diapers during AFD who are hoping for party passes by denying Slash's importance to the Gn'R legacy.Great interview by Slash. He's gotta be tired of these questions but to his credit he still answers them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash's name will never be erased from the credits of the music he helped record.It's too bad GNR didn't put out more albums in the last decade, that would make Slash a minor footnote in the history of GNR.

Just 1 moreI can only assume this imaginary recording was a shitload better and more successful than ChiDem? Because that certainly didn't diminish Slash's legacy as a band member. If anything, it enhanced it. Edited February 17, 2014 by Angelica 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumbleine Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Slash was put in an impossible situation.of course he wants to reunite the original GNR.they were great.one of the greatest.any person who had anything to do w AFD would probably jump on a reunion and not just formoney.it's a thing called art.rock n roll is an art form.Slash is creating music,he was creating music,hewants to share his experiences with the world through music.GNR will always be his legacy.he played guitar on one of the best rock n roll albums of all time.of course that should be celebrated in a dignified fashion.but then we have our W Axl Rose or whatever ,Bill Bailey.maybe he has childhood trauma,maybe he's bipolar,personality disorder,nobody knows.he's acting like a paranoid recluse who has given up on life and music as a positive force.he's not creating music.he tours SA and Vegas for retirement money.Axl has maybe 10 years left before the voice is gone and people will miss the bs cash-grab tours 2001-2014with the same setlist basically.because Axl was great,right?so luckily Axl didn't drag Slash too deep into his personal hell.it';s contagious.Slash is still out there,having a life even,he stopped drugs,he changed.I wish Axl all the best but I refuse to PAY any money to him or his mama.Axl,yeah,he bought a family when he could afford one.didn't like his own so why not buy some people who is paid to always agree?I have lost all illusions re Axl.
