Scream of the Butterfly

My guess would be the link was added to his Twitter bio by somebody else and Axl has nothing to do with this... or he took a quick look at the site, saw the quote and thought, "Hm, did I say that?" but left it at that.

I don't get the impression that she was invited to come to his hotel. I think she's indicated before that she just went there. Maybe her presence wasn't a problem to anyone, but the same goes for the people who drive by his house.

Considering the documents are available online for anyone to read them, why worry that some random person might see the physical copy? There's nothing about Eduardo's statement to suggest that everyone on the property is paranoid or that it's because of stalkers. The fact that they left the gate open and that there doesn't appear to be much security suggests that they are not paranoid and that there isn't any acute problem with stalkers. So it's acceptable for you to go to his hotel and stick around for an entire day whereas somebody else just driving by his house on a public road is a stalker?

A book and a podcast are not mutually exclusive alternatives. He could do both. A TV interview might be out of the question because of the SA lawsuit.

That's how I thought everybody interpreted it.

Maybe the BooKey page was legit after all and it's an AI generated authorized biography in the spirit of the General music video. I'd rather just read All Work And No Play by Jack Torrance.

"You gotta live to learn and run, or you'll die trying." They couldn't even get the fake quote right.

Is Hell Rose Place (one of the trademarks) a nod to the TV series Melrose Place? I wonder if Axl was a fan.

A good thing the quotes page is bs. I couldn't even read through all of that. My goodness what bs!

If it's disgusting, look the other way. I don't think it's such a big deal. There's fan behaviour in this very thread that I find more morally objectionable than somebody picking up a used band aid. It's the scarcity principle in action. Axl is less readily available than Slash and Duff, so people are prepared to go to greater lengths for a piece of him. I think these fans would collect anything at all that he tosses at them. It just so happens that he's tossing band aids. I don't think there's any specific band aid fetish going on.

What is so immoral about it, though? People collect the weirdest things. If there's no harm to anybody involved, it seems rather silly for other people to get worked up about it.

I think this type of thing is just part of fan culture and probably has been for as long as such a thing has existed. John Lennon's rotten tooth was auctioned off for more than $30,000. Maybe years from now somebody will make a fortune selling Axl's used bandaids. Whether it's sick, wrong, or just peculiar, I don't think anybody who knows about pop culture or fan culture should be surprised by any of this.

And saying that her story is impossible or that there are a million versions of it doesn't make it so. I don't think she has ever expressed any interest in going to court. If she did, people would then say it's all about money kind of like people are now saying about Sheila's case. It's a no-win situation for a rape victim. Whether she sues or not, she will be attacked for it.

He doesn't look very happy, but what else is new. At least it's good of him to take pictures with fans even as he's evidently not too thrilled to do so.

A great many people believe her and do not find the story unbelievable or ridiculous.
