In terms of wrestling icon status, Hogan is indeed over Steve Austin. Nobody's had more success in the business in the long-haul as Hulk Hogan. I mean, Hogan's been in the spotlight of wrestling for over 30 years!

Could Steve Austin or anybody else have as much success as Hogan over 30 years? I doubt it. I don't think Steve Austin has the gimmick that can work with *OLD AGE*. I mean, Austin can't realistic be doing his Stone Cold gimmick at Hogan's age now.

Hogan's got his All-American PG gimmick which makes him much easier to market. So the media outside of wrestling and non wrestling companies have no problems working with Hogan.

Steve Austin's gimmick is not so market friendly for obvious reasons.

Hogan was not willing to work or job for Steve Austin. Maybe, there's jealously or competition there. Maybe, Hogan doesn't think Austin is at his level. Maybe, Hogan is sticking it to Austin because Austin made fun of Hogan's red and yellow gimmick in Austin's early days with ECW.

But Hogan had no problems JOBBING for The Rock. He jobbed for The Rock twice!

Hogan obviously thinks The Rock is the best performer in wrestling since him. So Hogan did indeed passed the torch to The Rock at WM. And look what happened, The Rock made Hogan famous and relevant again!

Finally The Rock has come back to Toron ... Toron ... To run his mouth on all your maple syrup sucking mutha-canuckers! LMAO

Stone Cold stomped Hogan in merch sales at the height of his popularity. Hogan probably made more money than Stone Cold though, and probably had higher attendance records, partly due to the fact that Hogan was more kid friendly, whereas Stone Cold was part of the TV-14/TV-M Attitude era, where many parents at the time wouldn't allow their kids to watch WWF programming. I even remember Hogan referring to WWF at that time as "porno wrestling" on an episode of Nitro.

IMO, Hogan's match against The Rock should have been his last. He just refuses to "pass the torch", so to speak. Hulkamania has been dead for awhile, Hogan is living off of Egomania.

Did someone missed The Rock's promo in Toronto?

Them mutha-canuckers were the first turn on The Rock and cheer for Hogan.

Don't talk about professionalism when people are dumping the entire band's dinner out the 2nd story window in a fit, or keeping the band waiting for hours on end to start a show at midnight or 1am repeatedly, rejecting ideas and then asking for them back after something has already been done with them, quitting in the middle of a show because someone has a camera, hiring new people without talking to the band, threatening to beat up band members on the stage in the middle of a show...

And don't talk about prostitutes when people are playing private parties for Russian hi-rollers...

And so now you got a problem with Canada? That's not random at all... and BTW Maple Syrup is awesome.

It was only when CD was ready to be released, did Axl finally speak-up against Slash's angry and resentful allegations against him.

And how did Slash respond? He goes to Axl's house at 5am in the morning with Perla drunk! And then he releases his book! What perfect timing! Money making genius! LOL

your timeline is screwed up just a little there...

Let's see ... Slash admitted in interviews that a lot of his actions and words were due to his anger and resentment of Axl.

So you're telling me Slash telling every one that Axl wanted to be like Pearl Jam was not a PURPOSEFUL diss to discredit Axl and make the fans turn on Axl?

Slash admitted to being angry and resentful at Axl! What do angry and resentful people do?!

What Slash basically did was called Axl a *SELL-OUT* for wanting to be like Pearl Jam and NiN.

Slash could have had a point, except:

1) Slash sold-out big time!

2) CD doesn't even come close to sounding like Pearl Jam or even NiN. CD is more GnR than anything Slash ever put out.

3) VR broke-up over creative differences with Scott Weiland. Slash hated Libertad. Slash even stated: the new VR singer must sing exactly to the music that *he* creates - no changes at all!

Does point#3 sound similar? Yeah, that is the same situation with Axl in GnR! Slash wouldn't allow Axl any input about changes over any of the songs that Slash created.

And what do the members of the CD lineup say about Axl:

Axl listens to every body's ideas. He wants everybody's input to create the best possible music. Axl's job is to make sure the music has the GnR sound, vibe, and spirit!

So, Slash in more ways than one, purposely defamed Axl for doing exactly what he did! That's a double-talkin' jive mutha-effer!

If Slash wasn't so angry and resentful, he would have been a PROFESSIONAL about the whole situation with Axl. A professional does not go out of their way to air what happens *BEHIND THE SCENES* to the public.

Slash was the FIRST to blame Axl publicly for everything! He was the first to open his mouth.

It was only when CD was ready to be released, did Axl finally speak-up against Slash's angry and resentful allegations against him.

And how did Slash respond? He goes to Axl's house at 5am in the morning with Perla drunk! And then he releases his book! What perfect timing! Money making genius! LOL

And you're also mad because Axl told a funny story about Slash to GnR fans at a liquor store?! Axl was shooting the breeze with GnR fans. When Slash tells funny stories about Axl, he goes on a talk show or radio show, or does it in an magazine, or writes a book about it!

That's the difference between Axl and Slash: Axl will not PROSTITUTE himself.

Hulk Hogan is a PROSTITUTE. And so is Slash! That's why Hogan is on Team Slash-er!

Are you serious?

No wonder you Slashoholics are clueless!

Everything Slash has ever done and said in regards to GnR and Axl has been reported on this forum!

Has Google told you where the MyGnrForum threads are that discuss Slash's quotes dissing Axl for wanting to be like Pearl Jam and NiN?

Maybe Google can help you find Slash's interviews where he admits he allowed his anger and resentment to get the best of him in regards to the situation with Axl.

You don't even need to take into account Axl's testimony. Slash's own words and actions speak for themselves!

and this is where you finally tell us what those are...

this is like the fourth time you've said this so it needs to be addressed already. HOW IS THAT A DISS?!?!?! Wanting to sound like two popular respected bands is a diss now? No, Slash just didn't want to sound like that and Axl did... that's fine for Axl, hardly insulting in the slightest. Slash is just showing the divide that grew between them because Slash didn't want to go in that direction. That isn't an insult, I don't even see how you can spin it to be....

If that's your best example, which it is the only example you've touted in your moronic posts the past few pages, then you best go back to google and do some more research yourself. Fuck man, I can think of better examples than that and I disagree with you! None of which of course result to name calling (cancer), embarrassing personal issues (pissing the bed, apparently) or disrespecting Axl's work in the old band (saying Slash should have left before UYI).

Axl is petty about Slash, Slash says why he left the band.... which was because Axl was controlling, late, didn't show up to write material YET demanded complete control of what the music sounds like, etc etc etc. Of course Axl fans will take Slash's view on what happened as an insult because, naturally, it makes Axl look bad. Just like Izzy's story when he left and Duff's when he left and Gilby's when he was fired and pretty much everyone who was around at the time EXCEPT Axl.

Yeah, those maple-syrup licking mutha-canuckers!

Don't those mutha-canuckers understand that Hogan kept Brett Hart down for years!

Mutha-canuckers are confusing folks. They're supposedly anti-American but go nuts for the biggest American patriotic wrestler of all time. Go figure!

Hogan never lost popularity in Canada, even at the height of his nWo Hollywood Hogan era, they would cheer for him everytime Nitro was in Canada. They took the same approach for the WM at Skydome (Hogan - Rock).

What's that saying: we admire most those who we can relate to the best!

Hogan knows best!

LOL

At least Hogan described Slash right: a media whore! LOL

ya, i was just going to say that

Hulk is the same way

Are you serious?

No wonder you Slashoholics are clueless!

You don't even need to take into account Axl's testimony. Slash's own words and actions speak for themselves!

and this is where you finally tell us what those are...

It's really not that hard when the words and actions come directly from Slash.

You don't even need to take into account Axl's testimony. Slash's own words and actions speak for themselves!

In fact, Slash even admits he was wrong for the things that he did and said about Axl, and that he is finally "over it" now.

So, you were there through it all, 94-96? You know Axl and Slash personally? You know jack shit, just like the rest of us. You choose to side with Axl, fine, but don't pretend like you know what the hell happened behind the scenes. It's no wonder alot of people think GnR fans are fuckin' nuttier than the guy they follow (Axl).

You still don't get do you? Slash is a double-talking jive mutha-effer! LOL

If you can't see that, then there is nothing to help you.

And trying to blame Axl for the *dismantling* of GnR makes no sense at all when GnR is alive and doing extremely well!

If Axl had conceded creative control all to Slash - which was how Slash wanted it - GnR's last album would have been Snakepit! LMAO

Because people need to learn the TRUTH about Slash.

You aren't denying or have any counter argument to what I am saying. Why are you so upset if I tell the TRUTH about Slash? Are you afraid that if more people know Slash *BETTER* that they will no longer support him?

Slash abandon Axl and then bad mouth him for years while Axl worked hard behind the scenes figuring out how to save GnR from falling into the wasteland of '80s rock bands that got killed by the alternative rock era.

GnR still lives today because Axl never gave up and never *PROSTITUTED* himself or GnR. But Slash gave up and sold out to the highest bidders! And now, it is Slash who is *SORRY*.

I've LOST respect for Slash. That means, I don't buy any of Slash's products. Slash no longer gets any of my $money$.

More GnR fans should do the same!

Think about this: instead of promoting Libertad, Slash spent most of his time promoting his book!

Why? Because Slash was trying to protect his *wallet* from getting hurt by Axl's TRUTHS about him.

The more Axl reveals about Slash, the more GnR fans will grow to LOSE respect for Slash. Hence, less fans will buy Slash's products.

What you are saying is so one-sided and hate filled. In a weird way I feel sorry for you...

The dismantling of GNR is both Axl and Slash's fault - it is not one and not the other. They BOTH have big egos and contributed to why the original lineup is not around anymore. Sure Slash said some things he probably shouldn't have, but that's life, he and Axl have both moved on.

Libertad was promoted, I remember TV performances, tours, etc. Slash did not abandon Axl, he left a band that he did not like the direction it was going (not musical direction - the entire way GNR operated which has to do with the way Axl did things)

You want to know the TRUTH? Both Axl and Slash did things that they probably should not have done, but that does not give you, me, or anyone to constantly bash either of them to the point where that is the majority of what you do on the forum

Because people need to learn the TRUTH about Slash.

You aren't denying or have any counter argument to what I am saying. Why are you so upset if I tell the TRUTH about Slash? Are you afraid that if more people know Slash *BETTER* that they will no longer support him?

Truth is the truth hurts

Don't you agree?

It's harder to live with the truth about you

Than to live with the lies about me

But he LOST the respect he once had in the past with his hypocritical blame game against Axl.

Slash was unwilling to work with Axl in evolving GnR's sound to stay relevant, but then turns around and works with pop and rap stars! WTF?!

Slash accused Axl of wanting to be "alternative" like Pearl Jam, but then what does Slash do?

He teams up with one of alternative rock's top star, Scott Weiland from STP! And in his latest solo efforts, he teams up with Dave Grohl and Chris Cornel - two other top stars from the "alternative" rock genre!

So, it is kind of ironic that a celebrity like Hulk Hogan is on Team Slash? Hogan stated why he is on Team Slash: because Slash is a media and spotlight whore just like him!

That speaks volume about Slash when Hulk Hogan endorses him! LMAO

Idk how any gnr fan can hate slash. Not liking him anymore, fine. Not agreeing with what he says, sure. Not liking his material post gnr, no problem. But how can people disrespect a man who's contributions are all over about 75% of what they play live? Lmao. Like any stadium would fill up just strictly based on just nu gnr material. If you don't like him, cool, then move on, don't spam the boards (especially in the original and former sections) spreading your hatred about him. He's EARNED the respect he's gotten with his contributions to music.

Does that affect your listening experience when you listen to Estranged?

Exactly

This type of rhetoric on an online forum never works out well. I honestly don't get why this guy is constantly insulting Slash in the vast majority of his posts - but it comes off as immature and childish.

LMAO!

You must be ignorant if you are unaware of why Axl calls Slash a *CANCER*.

If you know how to use Google properly, you will find that if you search for: slash axl pearl jam ...

you will find topics here on MyGnrForum that discuss Slash's diss on Axl for wanting to be like Pearl Jam and NiN.

gnrfan2007 proposes no evidence of Slash dissing Axl, yet says it is a fact.

moreblack asks him to show some examples

gnrfan2007 produces nothing, again says it is a fact (based on nothing so far). He then says "do your own research."

moreblack does his own research and shows his examples, most of which are just Axl badmouthing Slash

gnrfan2007 laughs it off and says "do your own research" again.

L.O.L

Seems like Google doesn't like you! LOL

Do your own research! Be-friend Google today!

oh come one, you should atleast know how to use Google by now!

Start with this one:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=slash+axl+pearl+jam

Do your own research mate!

oh come on, you can at least find a diss or 2 or 3.

Some of the Google results:

"Slash: Axl Rose is one of the Top 5 Lead Singers Of All ..."

"Axl rants on Slash"

"Slash Sings Axl's Praises"

"Slash talks candidly about his working relationship with Axl"

"Axl pisses on Slash"

"Axl and Slash volunteered as medical test subjects for ..."

OH MY GOD!!!

Dude, if you disagree with anything I say, simply explain why.

Crying does not support your case!

But here is the thing: in your posts there are no facts - just insults and immature responses towards anything Slash. Like I said your posts refect a sense of immaturity because all you post are jabs toward a guy for no real reason other than to get a reaction (which is trolling). You have yet to post any real quotes or anything to back up your claims - and even if you do that doesn't excuse the childish insults on your end

oh come one, you should atleast know how to use Google by now!

Start with this one:

FACTS are indeed FACTS.

And when the situation warrants it, it goods to bring up these FACTS.

Because through the years, Slash has distorted these FACTS to his benefit, and to the detriment of Axl and GnR.

Tough love my friend!

So you are justfying insulting him 24/7 because he insulted Axl some time ago? All you and volcano are doing is starting these types of arguments that go nowhere. The fixation that you guys have towards insulting him is beyond me - at this point everyone here knows both of your views of Slash. Always bashing him in your posts just get redundant and just seem like the only reason why you are doing it is to get a reaction from posters (ie trolling). Because there is no need to reiterate your dislike for Slash in the manner that you guys do

It's true. It's damn true!

Google through all the archives of Slash's interviews, including those in the late '90s for those popular guitar magazine. You real find the evidence!

Yeah, I know ... Slash did a lot of interviews and magazine spreads! LMAO

Have you missed some of Slash's disses on Axl through the years?

yes, please show them.

You do realize that AC/DC's "Whole Lotta Rosie" was an OLD-GnR cover right?

GnR concerts consist of all the fan favorites from ALL their records.

Or you resort to adding AC/DC covers and 20 year old songs in your setlist as the "new" stuff because there's nothing else?

With that logic Metallica should stop playing Master of Puppets?

You didn't get the logic. For what you said to work, Metallica would've had to play MOP only during the Puppets tour.

Have you missed some of Slash's disses on Axl through the years?

You are forgetting about how Slash insulted Axl, saying Axl wanted more "alternative rock" style riffs like Pearl Jam, and how Axl wanted to work with Robin Finck of NiN even though Axl did not know Robin.

Slash didn't want to work with guys that Axl tried to pair him up with!

But what does Slash do? He goes work with pop and rap stars!

Its better than being someone on an internet forum who is fixated with insulting a guitar player for no real reason except that he plays guitar with other people...

Slash jammed with Bill Gates, so Justin Beiber would not be a far fetch.

Hogan's entrance song is Voodoo Child by Jimmy Hendrix, which we all know Slash loves to cover (see Civil War).

So it's not a far fetch to see Slash introducing Hogan at a TNA event like how he introduced Charlie Sheen at his comedy roast! LMAO

He would play with Justin Beiber if he could

Maybe Slash could do Hogan's nWo entrance song for him: Jimmy Hendrix's Voodoo Child!

Knowing Slash ... I'm pretty sure he would not turn down an offer from Hogan to appear on TNA!

Hogan should invite Slash to make an appearance on TNA....Cyborg Slash..that would rock

Dude, the new lineup has taken GnR to a new EPIC level high.

When you leave a GnR concert, it is like you have just left a religious awakening event where you have gotten closer to God!

LMAO

I can't tell if you are trolling or not...

Hogan did not hate on Axl because of Chinese Democracy. Hogan even mentioned Chinese Democracy, so clearly Hogan has the album.

Hogan hated on Axl because Axl was not Slash: staying in the spotlight by being a media whore and selling his service to any bidder.

In all seriousness I think Chinese Democracy contained too little testosterone to gain Hulk Hogan’s seal of approval.

Hogan doesn’t have time for pondering relationship and mental turmoil’s; he just wants to rock out to catchy, simplistic hooks.

No, the last one was: "four scores and seven years ago!" (courtesy of Charlie Sheen roast)

Climb up on that mainstream bandwagon, brother!

If award shows are your fancy, Slash will always be there to pick at the les paul. Me? I'm waiting for a record that features him at a creative peak. The last one was called Contraband.

If Slash were to attempt to cover any of the CD songs, it would sound just like how he attempted to cover some of those STP songs for Scott Weiland ... sucky sucky!

You can tell by how much Axl dances and moves to songs, the new lineup plays with more groove and rhythm.

The way the new lineup plays the songs actually makes you want to get up and dance and move around. Where as the old lineup's groove and rhythm only made you want to stand and shake your head.

Axl loves to dance and move around, so the new lineup suits him much better.

And the sound of the new lineup is more *timeless*. They play the old songs like how they would have sounded had those songs been created and recorded in 2011.

Unlike Slash's style, the new lineup don't sound like some cheezy rock band from the '70-80s trying to rock out in 2011! LOL

Hogan can *relate* better to Slash ... they have a lot more in common! They're both media and spotlight whores!

LMAO

WELL YA KNOW SOMETHIN BROTHER!!

Lol. I thought it was funny, personally. Truth is, everything Hogan said is the reason the majority of the media/celebrities favor Slash. He's out in the public more, has different projects he works on, gives interviews, stays in the public eye, etc. Can't be mad at Hogan for having an opinion that every casual rock fan shares besides the die-hard GN'R fans.

At least Hogan described Slash right: a media whore! LOL
