  1. it makes me wonder if axl is trolling slash with this clown. question is really how do you feel about it popcorn? you've always been a staunch axl supporter, do you support the decision to keep this guy in the band?

    Yes sometimes I support Axl trolling the fans, but this thread is about DJ's new hat and its possible symbolic meanings.

    possible symbolic meaning is the hat is too big for him to fill. /thread

    So you don't think it's an homage to Slash?

  3. Can somebody with authority put the OP in a basket, and blast him into some far-away galaxy?

    K thanks.

    So you're asking for me to be banned because you don't like my posts? Who else do you want banned?

    In all fairness, you were banned once before. You just got to come back because they unbanned everyone. So maybe he just wants you re-banned. It's a subtle difference.

    However, to the thread's question: I think comparing the relative happiness levels of Axl and Slash is rather puerile.

  4. Paul Stanley is an attention whore. Of course he's going to the HoF, I'm sure he'll promote some new product be hawking the kiss edition toyota prius, or whatever. You can call Axl many things, but he is not- and has not been for quite some time- an attention whore. And so for Axl, he's willing to forego the induction and doesn't see it the same way Paul does. And let's be honest here, did anyone think attempting to force a reunion was going to work? Dumbassed move by the HoF committee, shoulda waited a couple years. And so, if anything, the HoF incident strengthened Axl's resolve. There will be no reunion.

  5. Nobody told Brian Johnson from ACDC that you can't have "rasp" when you get "old"

    Brian Johnson's rasp sucks. It is unrefined compared to Axl. Anyone can sound like Brian Johnson. Go listen to some Bon Scott, his rasp was more refined and melodic.

  6. So many people here call Axl fat, I wonder what some of you look like who say that. I guarantee that some of the people saying that are more obese than Axl.

    He's got a little belly. Technically, you could call him "fat" because of it, but in reality he's just a little pudgy. People who are truly obese don't have legs like this:

    Are we charging people money to watch us perform?

    I know I'm not, but I can only speak for myself.

    I get your point, but if he was super jolly fat yet singing with inspired strident raspy brilliance, I wouldn't care. You should know that my favorite nuGuns gig is Dublin 2010, where they threw bottles at him and for the entire show (after he left and came back), he was virtually motionless, but was killer on the vocals.

    It doesn't matter if any of use are more obese than Axl. None of us have millions of dollars to hire a personal trainer to get back in shape. Comparing Axl Rose to any "average Joe" is ridiculous. When you compare him to Jon Bon Jovi and/or Bruce Springsteen, than there's an argument.

    "He's got a little belly," yeah, so why does he hide it? Why does he hide behind layers of clothes? For shits and giggles? He can have skinny legs but be out of shape, it's called being bloated. It in his face and his gut. Probably from medication or alcohol. Or both. When you compare him to how he was in 2006, or even 2010, he's out of shape. You can argue all you want, but it's the truth.

    I'm not arguing. I'm just saying that I think people exaggerate Axl's weight, and I feel like there's amplified focus on it for no reason. If he got even fatter and sang like Pavarotti (that was a figurative statement by the way, not literal), people would be praising him. I think part of the criticism stems from his towelie voice, the lack of music, and his refusal to reunite the old band.

  8. I'll just respond by saying this: much of what Len has said about Warrior in this thread is an exaggeration or is grossly misinformed, and ultimately many of Len's opinions in this thread are the product of lazy, inaccurate, convenient analyses, often based on partial "research" or a half-assed skimming of the surface.

    Warrior was a better human being than Len has portrayed him. And that's all I really want anyone to know who reads this thread.

  9. Oh and one more thing.

    I exchanged emails with him once. I left a comment on his blog about a grammatical error or two, and I was a little snarky about it. No bullshit, he actually emailed me (because you had to leave your email to make a comment on his blog), thanking me for pointing it out, and asking if I did work professionally as a speechwriter (or something to that effect). He was very cordial and polite in our brief email exchange, and this was after I picked apart his little grammar mistakes and after I told him in the first email that I was just some wiseass on the internet. I just wanted to include that story here as an addendum to my previous post.
