ludurigan Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 “Before I can speak to Slash I have to sign a contract that says that if anything goes wrong – if some kind of shit hits the fan because of what I write – and GN’R lose money, then Classic Rock carries the can. This is no small thing when you’re dealing with the fourth biggest earning tour of all time” https://www.alternativenation.net/slash-reporter-sign-bizarre-contract-interview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RONIN Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2018 Smells like the Redhead... “And I never saw it coming. I mean, this is my side of it, he’d probably say I’m completely fucking crazy, but I think he went power mad. Suddenly he was trying to control everything. Did you ever see those fucked up contracts for the journalists to sign?” he asks, referring to the notorious ‘consent forms’ that Axl foolishly tried to foist on the media in 1991. “The control issues just became worse and worse and eventually it filtered down to the band. He was trying to draw up contracts for everybody! And this guy, he’s not a Harvard graduate, Axl. He’s just a guy, just a little guy, who sings, is talented. But man, he turned into this fucking maniac. And I did, too, but it was a different kind of maniac. I was paranoid about the business aspect – freaking out going ‘Where’s all the money?’” - Izzy Stradlin' 17 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 How exactly would Guns lose money from an interview gone wrong? Not asking to be a smart ass. Legitimately asking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bigpoop Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2018 The should have told him to keep his fucking contract and forget the interview. No media outlet should ever sign some shit like that. Even if it's just Classic Rock. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legitimately asking. I was wondering the same thing... surely the contract would have to state terms of what these "wrong" things might be. I would think it would need to be a bit more specific than lose money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sisyphus Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2018 In other words, no interesting questions allowed. He wants the publicity but doesn't want to give away any interesting info. Because people obviously enjoy hearing how he and Myles inspire each other and how The Conspirators are the tightest bunch of musicians in the world. So super-duper interesting. 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSlash Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It probably isn't even related to Guns, just that dude dedicating his life to ruining the experience of GnR fans. We need to upload more shit to Ytube to keep them busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think you have to cover your ass especially with written media. A filmed interview i guess it's different as words can't be taken out of context. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hey, whatever you gotta do to keep the ball rolling. My feeling is, though I'd never go see em, a world with Guns in it is better than a world without it, whats the other choice, throw your toys out the pram and go back to doing Slash & the Allstars? They're old men now anyway, none of ems gonna be a part of some world changing epic new album, just fuckin' do what you gotta do and keep the show on the road.

MaskingApathy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think it's more to keep something like the Axl/Mick Wall thing from happening again. Journalist twisting stuff around and writing something that ends up causing issues with the band. Tbh in this day and age it's not super uncommon for contracts like this to be passed around before interviews and stuff. Now if anyone should have to sign a contract it should be Brett and alternative nation 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azifwekare Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I don't get it. So Slash can just talk shit about Axl and simply point the finger at the magazine, then we get Get In The Ring Pt 2? In all seriousness, even when journalists do twist things, it can still cause issues within the band no matter who officially gets the blame. I assume it's just a chance to sue if things do go tits up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnrcane Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Who cares. Journalists in general, but entertainment journalists even more so, are a part of a business of publishing. They aren't some great force of peace that needs to be revered and respected. They write to sell papers/magazines and get views on websites that run ads. A journalist will get at least as much from interviewing Slash as Slash gets from being interviewed, probably more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash was annoyed when the interviewer mentioned punctuality. While the questions were good, it's clear they are very sensitive areas. I think they probably agreed before hand what was allowed etc, and the interviewer just asked what he wanted anyways. Slash was clearly uncomfortable in that interview. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think the question about Perla and Axl got Slash mad. I think he halfway expected the rest of the questions at some point. Those questions were top notch. He questioned if this was simply a get together or an actual band haha but yea I imagine if an interview is taken the wrong way and Axl or someone gets mad and a show gets canceled then that’s technically money lost.
