WhazUp Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 This is by far the most interesting interview by any GNR memver to have come out since the reunion. It is cagey and Slash definitely knows what he does not want to answer, but there are some really cool questions presented to him that nobody else has had the balls to ask in recent times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politania Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) 18 minutes ago, soon said: Oh, thanks. Shoot, I cant remember what Izzy's second tweet was or if it was also deleted? I quess it was said by Izzy that : “The current GN'R tour has been a great success for the guys,” Stradlin told the Wall Street Journal. “My nonparticipation was simply not being able to reach a happy middle ground through the negotiation process. That's life. Sometimes things don't work out." " Either way it was very stranged answer by Slash. I dont understand it.

I think he might have been referring to the way Izzy cleared up any involvement with the band...... but I don't know.... because if he means the tweet of the 'loot', I'm not sure that was well-handled. Unless he is talking about the way Duff and Axl addressed it? I don't know.. it is sort of confusing... 4 minutes ago, WhazUp said: It is cagey and Slash definitely knows what he does not want to answer, but there are some really cool questions presented to him that nobody else has had the balls to ask in recent times. Yeah, but it is Rolling Stone not the Icelandic newspaper, lol I think they've earned their right to ask whatever they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 42 minutes ago, soon said: Lots of info despite his concise and at times (understandably) cagey responses! Many things that are interesting to me, but Ill pick the Izzy comment. Q - What can you say about the Izzy situation on this tour?A - Uh, I’m not gonna go anywhere near that. I thought what he had to say about it, from what I saw – I didn’t read the whole thing – but the basic come away, I thought, was well handled. Is slash saying that Izzy's tweets about "the loot" are accurate and Izzy "well handled" the situation? Or is Slash saying that he doesn't like Izzy's tweets and therefore thinks that the decision to not involve Izzy was a "well handled" decision? The interpretation I got was that Slash was referencing Izzy's "full statement", this one http://ultimateclassicrock.com/izzy-stradlin-guns-n-roses-statement/ I am not sure if he meant well handled as in he agreed with what Izzy said and liked how diplomatic Izzy was, or if GNR handled the situation well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash is talking about that well wishing statement from Izzy. Thanks for info! And still none of us understand precisely what the Slashs response means?

Thats a good point about reading a tweet. But he also could mean that he didnt read all of the tweets Izzy has posted Edited August 14, 2018 by soon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MildlyArtistic Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I interpreted Slash's answers as him mostly being pissed off about being asked about GNR in every interview about his solo band, plus him genuinely not being able to mention a lot of stuff.

You cannot reproduce the entire work of someone else in your website, even if you are direct linking them and giving all the credit. If I'm not mistaken, the journalists are paid a percentage for the clicks they get in their stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Cool interview. Wish there was a definite answer to GNR making new music. I assume, as always, it's up to Axl. Glad Slash feels he is in GNR and not just it being a temporary thing. That's good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Competition Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Bit of a bummer to see that answer about Scott/VR. Oh well, I and tons of other fans enjoyed all the shows and music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I and tons of other fans enjoyed all the shows and music. Slash does this. I remember the interviews around the time of the second Snakepit he was, ''yeh maan, when all things are considered this is the best fuckin' rock n' roll band I've been in. It is just really cool to be jamming with a group of individuals who are rockin'' etc etc. Then subsequently he sacked everyone, lambasted the bands (drug users) in his book and founded VR!! I can actually see why Rose used to get infuriated. 9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsapple Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Does this guy ever give straight answers to anyone about anything without contradicting himself? A fan can read between the lines, but other than a lot of it was his usual talk bubbles. That interviewer though - nice job, some really good questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Interviewer atleast tried! Slash avoided what he could. Obviously doesn’t want to speak on Axl’s behalf. The question about Axl showing him music and his response is strange. But speed was definitely Slash dictated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Slash has been talking like that about VR and Weiland since they broke up (or were put on hiatus) though. Maybe not so bluntly, but he has. Edited August 14, 2018 by Blackstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR87 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Quote I mean, obviously you don’t want to say anything to knock this all off course . . .I’m not worried about fucking it up. Of course not A bit boring with all the political correctness and vague answers but good interview regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
