I agree, he tries to look cool and takes every opportunity to bash Axl. Notice he said "he's great but it's difficult to deal with him"

Nah, Slash is great. He was just stating the obvious truth : Axl is great (well, not as much as some years ago, ageing doesn't help), but apparently it's difficult to deal with his ego.

Been to a GNR gig lately-it's fkn glorious and blows slash's second rate shit outta the water- slashy hasn't been great since parting ways with GNR, and I honestly don't think he is capable of playing music on a ChiDem level- he certainly can't write lyrics and what he did to Paradise City w/ cypress hill and ferg-me was unlistenable and unforgivable.

Weird is whose opinion about Slash opposes yours? Scarily weird? Now, that's weird.

Damn Straight Granny!!! Tell em'

????? Am I the only one that thinks Slash's "great," "admirable," "respectable" comments were nothing but pure horse shit? I think he says things like this to do nothing more than piss Axl off. After Slash pipes up with his usual "Oh yeah, Axl's great..." comments (that he KNOWS will get some bit of media attention, and thus his comments will eventually get back to Axl) to a large audience, everybody is all surprised and it's not uncommon to hear things afterward like, "Wow, see? Slash really does have respect for Axl. What a class act!" and "See! Axl really needs to move on and forgive..." However, as Axl told us himself, behind closed doors it is a MUCH different story than what everyone is used to. My guess is that to this day, the bullshit lawsuits and time consuming litigation rage on. Slash is probably responsible for Axl having to jump through many hoops to be able to give the concerts that he does, sell the merch that they do, etc. etc. etc. Bottom line: Slash loves to try and piss Axl off by making himself out to be such a saint, when only the opposite is true. I'm sorry, but I see right through Slash.

That's one stupid comment.

Well, if you have time, perhaps you should read the whole thread, or at least start it where I originally posted that, because you'll discover that there are others who agree with me on some of the points i've made. I'm also not the only one who has thought this before. Also, maybe you'd like to add something to what you've written, because "that's one stupid comment" gives me virtually nothing to go by as for why you think it's stupid.

IMO, it's far from "Stupid" and is very savvy and insightful, Slash is a manipulative opportunist who talks out of both sides of his mouth, he has no integrity and has compromised any talent he had by playing the same tired riffs with any and everybody, I see a decietful lying opportunist who hasn't done anything worth mentioning since GNR.

Chinese Democracy blows away any of his solo efforts easily, and he obviously has control problems and difficulties holding onto lead singers. In short his head got too big for his hat.

This was a complex stage setup; w/ the computerized lights-etc, I'm sure asessments of damage and workability of actual undamaged eqipment isn't an easy task ta undertake....

the Better vid is the grenade pin that could shrapnel the whole world. pull the pin.

Xactly, the songs on CD are stronger than anything hitting the mainstream media in these dismal days- Better or Damn near any song on the Album is an explosion waiting to happen, one simple hole in the mainframe of clearchannel radio and the smack they tell ppl is rock and

the door could be blasted open for REAL Rock again- It's time! the second coming of GNR!!

According to sources at the bands hotel in Rio, there won't be a show on the 15th.

The crew is leaving for Porto Alegre in the morning.

Theres still no word about a later date in Rio. The promoters will probably confirm it tomorrow.

you have a source at the hotel?

Would like to know this source as well, although the ground at Rio must still be waterlogged I'd like a confirmation on this.....In addition Straight line winds from a T-storm can cause damage similar to a tornado.

People That Were There Reported Seeing A Guy With An Axe And A Top hat. They said that he laughed maniacally and tore the stage down.

Any ideas

"All tings considered" Oh my god dude

I'd need ta see a pic...

CD risin'

gonna keep on risin'

risin' risin'

CD is the party album of American Bankruptcy.

HA! Thanx 4 D'smile....risin' risin'

ppl 4get how long it took 4 AFD to take off, cept us that were round then

Didja wake up this morning and get urself a beer?

Chinese Democracy is dormant n' ready to be released to fly straight into epic Legendary status!!!

This need of appearing cool and nice at all cost is a bit tiring. That is what Slash does imo, he always wants to be the cool guy, the nicer one and these comments about how Axl is great and bla bla bla show how much he cares about appearing that way at the eyes of everybody. Because, you know, Axl is the asshole, the tantrum boy, the dictator...

Exactly, he is passive-aggressive, snake in the grass that likes to appear "cool" and play the victim, changing stories when it suits him. I don't believe a word he says.

Can I kill somebody?

Really? It didn't rain all week but today it had to rain. REALLY?????

Come on GN'R, do it tomorrow. Don't just simply cancel. My life depends on this.

I know you're disappointed but be thankful nobody got killed or injured

and your life does not depend on this, I'm sure more info will be released as damage is assessed.

ultimately it may never sell as much as afd becos its not cd buying era/tapecd switch over, but by the end of the tour it could be pushing 10 mill worldwide, then we'll see if they get a videos out with or without label help there's going to be a time on the US tour when GNR are going to be back big time. And CD, Shackler's, Better may tackle the contemporary rock scene but SOD, ITW, TWAT, Catcher, Sorry, This I Love smoke the kind of shit that make the records go No. 1. Videos of these will sell to those people who like GNR for SCOM, Paradise City, Nov Rain, Patience. then once they have that hit they drop CD II and its on 30 million cd sales. free at last!

Yuppers! This ^

This pic is priceless.

HA! For a moment I thought it was EL FARI fighting Axl

Who's El Fairi ???

whats the plumm place this happened at?

It's outta business now

Now THAT is rock n' roll. I wouldn't have played an exclusive show for any stuck up billionaire douchefags either.

Nope, Joke em' if they can't take a fuck!! Would be amusing ta watch though

Hilfiger is deff lucky to have been kept away, that would have been a slaughter.

That is only imo, not meant to convert or change anybody's opinion-it's just the way I truly feel, Iv''e heard both sides and I'm not in the slash camp for the reasons I mentioned. I love Pink Floyd and listen to them even tho Rick Wright, isn't w/them, and Roger Waters-David Gilmour aren't together-same for Queen, The Who, VH, AC/DC, a large number of bands don't have the original lineup but I still enjoy the Albums. Slash WAS in GNR but I fully embrace the new lineup and think they sound better than ever!!! Ashba, Ron and Richard are phenominal musicians,as are Chris and Frank!! Gunner for Life!!!

We all know that both axl and slash are great! why all the fighting?

Quote of the year! They both are great--enjoy the music!

I wish I could but personally I think slash should've been a guitar-guru instead of a mediocre musician due to his affinity for the spotlight, playing with any and everybody,not improving his sound, playing the same tired riffs and having difficulties with more than one lead singer,

and I have difficulty believing anything he says is not self-serving in some way, I don't care what he says or how many tv shows or commercials he appears on, I have lost any and all admiration I may have once had for him. This is imo, not meant to start an argument.

Just for the record, I don't think it's accurate to judge a rock concert's noise effect using a F'ing Coldplay concert.

I think that whole noise thing is gay. What did they expect was going to happen? Isn't it loud at a soccer match?

dont worry, in argentina we all think the same.. its just the neighbours of the stadium presented a legal case against the stadium holding rock concerts, because thousands of people jumping in the field caused vibrations similar to a very little earthquake

in a soccer match its different because u dont have 40.000 guys jumping up and down against the floor

Fuck the neighbors, it's true there are vibrations but I don't think these vibrations will affect the buildings. The justice should have made an exception for the concerts that have already been sold

I really don't understand how the justice works here... they are too slow to resolve crimes but when it's about spoiling people's fun they're fast motherfuckers!

100% agree! are u from argentina too?

yeah

It seems a bit shady for them to deny use of the stadium at such a late date,this was iffy and should have been announced much sooner.

Some Gvt officials need to be duct taped and thrown in orca tanks.

Damn Straight!!! He is a passive aggressive snake in the grass.I'd rather hear harsh truth than carefully constructed caca .

So.....

Axl/GNR play a lot shorter show two nights ago and then the next night don't show up to a supposed secret show that their crew was prepping for earlier in the day....leading to numerous media reports that he was either doing drugs/wouldn't leave his hotel/or was in the hospital...

Same old successful Axl Rose. I wouldn't get your hopes up for an explanation either, if any of this was true they'll (GNR camp) just act like it never happened (Hello Philadelphia 2002). If this is all bullshit, then possibly you might hear something from Axl. We'll see, but I'm leaning with the former.

BABACA!!

Some people on here have developed some fucked up sense of entitlement that the shows are being played for them, for the internet forum dwellers. That is not the case, the set is based on what works best for the band and best for the audience, anyone who thinks otherwise is a complete moron. The band could play the same 2 hour set for the rest of tour because that is what delivers the best show. The only people who might walk out complaining will be the forum dwellers who are aware of the other setlists and that is a minimal amount of people.

Agreed! The fact that you bought a ticket does not give you a right to demand that GNR plays the songs you want, or plays a specific number of songs, if you are assuming this than you are sadly mistaken, I know this has been mentioned but this ain't McDonalds and you don't get it "your way". For those that can't come to terms with this concept, "I feel sorry for you".

Axl doesn't beat women. Shut the fuck up, people.

No he doesn't. He just drags down the stairs by the hair when they tell him "no".

Oh, then you have witnessed this firsthand? Somehow I doubt that, and if Stump didn't have hands how was he shooting pics? Urban Myth, I was there.

Back on Topic you have 2 guys that used to be in a band together,total polar opposites,don't like each other,One is confrontational,one is passive aggressive

My money is on Axl, for gods sake Slash has a pacemaker!!! One well aimed punch to the chest and poof,no more slashypoo.

Axl doesn't beat women. Shut the fuck up, people.

Danke!!

It would be cool if he could get Johnny Depp to star in a video for Shackler's.

Dude, you are just one bad idea after another.

Besides, the Shackler's role is already reserved for Micky Rourke. Duh.

I concur. :nod:

Best kind of psycho

The kind that beats his girlfriends?

I'm a huge Axl/GNR fan, but whenever I read one of those old stories about his proclivity to beat chicks I'm always taken aback a little and wonder why I'm a hug fan of this guy. I mean it would be understandable if he just hit one of his gf's as an isolated incident fueled by passion/rage, but doing it often and in public seemed to be his MO. It's kinda hard to get past that sometimes, atleast for me.

i would fight frank before i would fight axl.

That's because you're a racist.

You realize Slash was arrested for domestic violence in 2000 I believe, as was Adler in 1997 and Adler was convicted?

You could justify all kinds of behavior when you throw Adler in to the mix but it still doesn't make it right. Face the facts, Axl is a bully that likes to beat up women.

The Security guard in sweden and the photog at the airport were women? Only 2 women have claimed this and they had financial reason to benefit from it. Zutaut said Erin was a provoker,and Stephanie's rowdy divorce from Peter Brant shows her character as well imo.

Really? You want to bring up the security guard? The one Axl bit like a bitch? Sorry but that doesn't come across as a very manly thing to do. Who cares if one was a provoker and the other had character issues. It is never OK to hit a woman.

I might bite somebody too if I were Drunk and Pissed off enough, how many fights have you been in tough guy? If a woman hits you,you just stand there and take it? I wouldn't. Only 2 women have claimed this, neither filed criminal charges, The biker named "stump" in the St.Louis episode wasn't a woman either.
