yeah i thought i heard mike patton's name thrown around. surprised he didn't sing on slash's solo record. yeah body count opened a few shows and then the promoter banned them from a few shows because of cop killer

If you guys remember Guns N' Roses had Faith No More open for them extensively in 1992 in Europe and then in the States during the Metallica tour. Faith No More talked a lot of trash about Axl and the scale of the tour in the press. That's what I explore today. It's funny even in the interviews you can tell the guys from Faith No More don't like GNR

did they really wear designer clothes in those years?

haha yeah it doesn't look like that

Today we take a look at GNR's fashion and the designer who designed their clothes in the late 80's, early 90's days. In addition to that i got my hands on Julien's Auction which was selling some of Slash's clothing for crazy amounts of money

axl was 5 minutes late to the first show i saw in 2017. iwas on the side of the stadium so i could see behind the stage and saw a car pull up with axl and beta and the band went on stage. LA show in 2017 at staples centre band went on stage on time. I can't imagine waiting hours on end for the band to show up.

He was also talking from the stage about Niven having booked the tour early, as well as about not being in the mood to play:

Axl: I know you guys don’t wanna hear a lot of bullshit raps, so I’ll explain real quickly what we’re doing with these shows here. Due to the pressure from my – how should I say it – ex-manager, who wanted to make sure we toured and didn’t give a fuck to watch about when the record was done - so we’re out here before the record is done. But it’s a good thing. And we want to make sure that we are not ripping you people off and when we come out you get the most [...] [Richfield, OH, USA June 4, 1991]

Axl: Due to an over-excited manager we’re out on tour. But that excited manager is now fired, so... I don’t mind so much being out on tour, but I would’ve liked to get my record done. And since we’ve all waited such a fucking long time, we figure we’ll play it on the tour whether you’ve heard it or not [...] [Landover, MD, USA June 20, 1991]

Axl: We’ve been pairing the old and the new [songs], since we are out on this tour since we had an over-excited ex-manager, or rather greedy ex-manager. I love that word, “ex”. Ex-wife, ex-manager... [...] [Costa Mesa, CA, USA July 25, 1991]

Axl: Have you ever been let down by – I don’t know – family, friends, something you wanted... or maybe just life in general. You know the mood I’m talking about; when something you like - maybe your friends were over or something you like comes on fucking TV... something you like, but you don’t care, cuz you’re just not in the mood, it doesn’t matter, you’ve been let down. I mean, it’s kind of like, this band, Nirvana, why this "Teen Spirit," why is this song such a success? People relate to being let down. 
They say, “Oh, why are you always late?” I don’t know, maybe I’m always in a bad fuckin’ mood about something. This is my life, this is my love, and sometimes it doesn’t mean anything to me, cuz I’m just too fucking bummed out. You know how that feels? You know how that feels, right? Sometimes there’s a lot of people trying to help make sure that you’re so fucking bummed out, that you can’t do something like have a rock show. [Chandler, AZ, USA February 1, 1992]

 

damn dude i need to have you help me with these videos

today i wanted to take a look at the 2011 interview axl did on that metal show where he talked about not wanting to be on the road in 1991 for the uyi albums. i thought it was an interesting quote but if you read into some of axl's early 91/92 interviews he brought this point up a few times saying he wish he would have had more time to work on himself before hitting the road. 

i always wondered how a manager could book a tour without getting sign off from the band.

I don't think it's going to be anything GNR-related. The guy's constantly uploading studio pics. The guy does session work outside of Guns.

yeah it's not gnr related. He mentioned in past interviews he's working on a ton of projects outside of GNR. It oculd be headtronics

This is one of my favourite videos and something completely different. We all know that according to slash and matt sorum a head and an arm were found in a garbage can behind the studios where guns n' roses were recording, but the question has to be asked whose body was it? That's what we explore today and it may surprise you that the potential victim bears a striking resemblence to Axl Rose.

Really enjoyable and informative, thanks man!

I regularly have walked past the site of the old Marquee in Wardour St to get a feel for what it would have been like.. now expensive loft apartments!

BTW, it was AC/DC's Whole Lotta ROSIE not "Love" as you mentioned towards the end! 

damn youre right i meant whole lotta rosie. 

There's a new interview with Slash and Duff from 87 I believe where they talk about the Marquee Shows. I also compiled it with our interview with Paul Elliot who was the first british journalist to interview Guns N' Roses in 87 for Sounds Magazine. I also included our interview with their former publicist Arlett Vereecke who talked about the Marquee shows and how Axl wanted to piss on the desk of one of the writers who gave the band a negative review for their first Marquee show.

I found a new GNR interview from Much Music 1988 and the interviewer asks them why they hated opening for Iron Maiden. Even as recently as 2015 Bruce Dickenson talked about not liking the way Axl treated their fans! Check it out 

Today i take a look at why Guns N' Roses were so late getting to the stage on the Use Your Illusion Tour and what the band members said about it then and now

Duff McKagan gave an interview recently about how much Guns N' Roses were offered in the early days for selling their publishing for Jungle and their catalog. I also talk a bit about how their record label has tried to screw them on royalties over the year and how much those royalties are per quarter

I do not believe it is the band or their management 🤬

i've heard from people in the camp that beta is having a hand in it. 

i'll believe it when i see it. I love it how duff says they don't talk about a new gnr album in the interview

This has got to the point where these actions must almost certainly be sanctioned by Team Brazil or the band's label. How a band, that mostly survived on fan loyalty and contributions during its stagnant periods, can be okay with this is beyond me.

Fernando claimed he wasn't aware of it a while back. Designing useless merchandise will do that to a person I suppose. I'm sure Beta has some involvement in this.

Today we take a look at the time that Doug Goldstein hired spies to keep an eye on Slash and Axl back in the good old days

Today i take a look at the Poison, Guns N' Roses feud. Not sure if you guys remember but Bryn Bridenthal who was the publicist for GNR back in the day was attacked by the members of Poison after Slash said something negative about the band in the press.

LoL at the article “It is an honour to bring one of the greatest drummers in the world to South Africa".

Looks like Frank hasnt got much going on to do these cover band shows.

https://m.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/480/186599.html

Guns N' Roses drummer Frank Ferrer will join Jason Oosthuizen's tribute show, Guns N' Roses & Friends, at the Hillcrest Quarry in Durbanville, Cape Town on 15 March 2019. Ferrer is best known as the drummer for American rock band Guns N' Roses, with whom he has played, toured, and recorded since 2006. He was also a member of The Psychedelic Furs, Love Spit Love as well as The Beautiful. He has recorded and worked with several high profile musicians including Robi ‘Draco’ Rosa, Tool, Gordon Gano, PJ Harvey, Tommy Stinson, Nena, Frank Black of The Pixies, Neil Young, Perry Farrell, and Cheetah Chrome of The Dead Boys. “It is an honour to bring one of the greatest drummers in the world to South Africa to guest appear in our Guns N' Roses Tribute Show. I have been an admirer of his career for years, so it was naturally a no-brainer to bring Frank to our country for the GNR Tribute Show, and we were delighted that he agreed to come and was just as excited to visit. We cannot wait to share a stage with him and show him our beautiful country,” says Oosthuizen. With a band lineup including Clint Falconer and Dean Barrett from Dan Patlansky band, Werner Bosman from Jesse Clegg and who also stars in the Led Zeppelin and ACDC vs Deep Purple Tribute Shows, Jason Oosthuizen from Van Coke Kartel, Lost&Found and now OOOTH, Emile De Jong from The Narrow and frontman Ryan Howell from The Monroes, this killer lineup will definitely keep you entertained and bring all your favourite Guns N' Roses songs back to life. Advertisement This show will be proudly supported by OOOTH who will perform songs from their debut album, Who Cares What You Think, released and launched in November 2018. Tickets are available via Plankton https://plankton.mobi/Events/EventBooking/ddadd542-7b1d-e911-80c2-0cc47a93d288?fbclid=IwAR15kmzMEmPfmgsy_AAsuX_5yENQfsok1-3uGpkycJ17FXcVhbXs9hQ184s

can he stay in the band and not come back to GNR? His drumming is horrendous. Nice guy though
