Guns n roses is the best tv show ever!

Hey,

I just received an email from the cinema where i bought my tickets. It said that the distributor of appetite for democracy told them that it is not allowed to show the movie outside the US. I live in Holland and was really looking forward to it! what a shame! so the movie will be shown in de US?

Blame Slash for that and don't forget to tell your friends not to buy anything he releases. Ever.

Thank you

Then when we get some killer posthumous albums, you know who to thank.

He said write them, not sing and record them. You're still a dick.

I'm still a dick regardless.

People should aspire to be more like me. I piss rainbows and all sorts of fruity bullshit to bring the world happiness.

Yeah i like weed too.

Fuck you, kanudo. I'm still gonna crack jokes and talk shit, and I won't let you make me feel bad about it.

Think of it this way then, everytime you crack a joke Axl will get pissed and sad and he will write an amazing song about it .

And then of course he will lock it in the vault.

I agree with his confidence being gone, but that's on us. I believed he had prepared himself for some bad reviews on chinese demo but what he wasn't prepared for was chinese demo being ignored by everyone. It's not like the album got bad reviews or can be considered a bad album, i myself consider it a masterpiece, it's just that people don't give a shit about it and that has imo broken axl down to the point where he doesnt want or is able to record,write and/or release new songs.

Many, many great artists have put out work that was ignored. Difference is, most of them didn't cry like little bitches about it and then take all their toys and go home, refusing to release any more work. Most of them just went about their business being artists. You know, producing art.

Well yeah i get what your saying, but you can't really criticize him for letting things like that affect him. Everyone's different and we don't know how axl's mind works, people with emotional issues have...guess what ? Difficult dealing with emotions, good or bad. If anyone says something that makes him sad or angry or whatever he will have difficult dealing with that.

I'm sure he doesn't like living that way. I'm an enotional wreck who doesn't deal well with anything and that's why i spent the majority of time locked in my room without leaving the house, i don't like being this way, as a matter of fact i hate it but just like Axl i can't change who and how i am.

I'm with you to a certain degree. Really, I am. And I respect your perspective. But, for me, there's the person with mental healthy issues like you - someone who admits their struggles, taking responsibility for themselves and not blaming others, explaining that acting out is difficult to manage, and sometimes impossible - and then there are people like Axl. I have way more empathy, patience and understanding for the first kind.

Well yeah, but if Axl started admitting his struggles/problems publicly he would still get shit. You can't please everyone and although i don't fully agree with his stance of shutting himself from the world i try and understand it. I mean, what else can we do ?

Imo the man is a genius and the last 20 years have been a waste musically speaking. I love Chinese democracy but it should've come out sooner, and we should have more albums by now. Hell i'd love if he stopped caring about what we n' the critics think and just released music for himself without over thinking it too much. But i don't know what goes on his mind so i won't criticize him for it.

I have a few projects of my own that i really want to do and yet i spent my days on a internet forum talking about how i wish my favorite singer would release some music. LOL My point is we have to try and understand, not just Axl, but Slash and everyone else.

That has to be false. Duff wouldn't say that, and Slash wouldn't dare say something so antagonistic to Axl's face. Maybe behind his back, but he knew how much something like that would piss him off. They all walked on eggshells around Axl, I mean they signed the name over to avoid upsetting him.

They signed the name because it's was his all along, stop with the "upsetting him, crowd hostage" crap

I doubt they agreed it was "his all along". Certainly doesn't match up with Axl's assertions that they were constantly trying to take over the band.

They wouldn't attempt a takeover if they didn't know that it was Axl's to begin with. There would be nothing to take over if they thought it was theirs.

I don't think they were trying to take over the band, I was simply pointing out how some of Axl's statements are contradictory. If they wanted to take over the band, and there was no "upsetting him, crowd hostage crap", why sign over their rights?

How would I know? I wasn't there.

Because like axl said they never contested that the name of the band was always his! They only tried to revert things years later when they realized (or lawyers made them realize) how stupid they had been.

The name of the band was always verbally owned by Axl, when shit started to hit the fence he just smartly decided to put the verbal agreement on paper. They signed it because they were ok with it. Weather you like it or not that's the truth.

Axl saying something doesn't make it fact.

Well, since anyone with half a brain can see that slash has lied about the band name, date n' the whole crowd hostage thing and we're talking about Axl's own life then yes, what he says can be considered a fact.

Okay, not sure if this is really true, but I heard it on the Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 dvd.

when these 2 albums came out, Axl wanted the pianos added on stage and backup singers. Someone who was interviewed said the other band members, didn't really say who?, didn't like Axl adding all this stuff.

I also remember reading Axl saying the other band members and Stephanie Seymour put him down when he was writing songs for the UYI 1 and 2, but I don't know if that was a real Axl interview of someone putting words in his mouth.

You never know what's true or not when you read it online and Axl has said that people didn't get what he would say correctly.

I would really hate to think any band member would put down another who was writing songs. I mean yeah, put your input especially if you feel the song doesn't gel for you as a band, but to really critize a band member would suck, but I guess it happens.

Maybe this is why, Axl hasn't written anything new. His confidence is gone.

I don't mind it. It doesn't bother me in the least.

I quoted you out of laziness, i was answering the other guy before you

Sometimes when he says thank you in concerts he's imitating elvis

Excuse me, im looking for a car that's tricked out to look like an ice cream truck. You know, with colorful pictures of ice cream treats, and it plays a tune that's fun for the young children

I was asking a question not saying that you said anything. There's no doubt slash is a very talented guitar player but he can't hold a candle to Buckethead, or bumblefoot's skills imo. Plus they're not lying sellouts.

What about DJ Muunay ?

Well there goes my fantasy of a reunion.

All kidding aside I just hope at some point they have to talk to each other instead of talk through representatives or lawyers.

LoL why would they ? That's what they pay representatives for.

Let me start by saying I have always been and will be a fan of both of them. I do think Axl gets unfair criticism for some of his post original band behavior. I'm sorry Slash fans, but Slash basterdizing SCOM w/Fergie at the super bowl, or the awful version of Paradise City that he released with his first album. (yes I know that last song was not a world wide release, but Axl didn't block it did he?) These are all sins that IMO are just as bad as anything Axl ever did. I have lost some respect for the man because of this, just like I lost respect for Axl when he "stole" the gnr name.

It has become VERY clear to me that BOTH of these men are equally to blame on why gnr became what it is. Is Axl a control freak egomaniac? yes. But Slash is also two face that "sells" a certain image to fans and the public, but is different behind close doors. Honestly if I knew these two in my personal life, I would like Axl better. At least Axl is honest and lets you know where you stand. Lying and being two faced is not something that I tolerate in any of my personal relationships, I'm sorry but Axl does appear to be more of the stand up person of the two. I would much rather someone be honest to my face, no matter how hard it is to hear, as opposed to saying one thing to my face, then something completely different behind my back.

I know Axl has made things difficult for Slash over the years, but who really has been the bigger dick here? Has Axl shown up at one of Slash's gig, just to ruin it? Has Axl shown up at Slash's house talking shit about Ashba and BBF? Has Axl blocked the release of the shitty cyprus hill Paradise City? Despite the rumors, no confirmation exists that says Axl blocked the US release of Made in Stoke, and even if he did, the dvd still got a limited release, not a cancelation like what we have here.

After this revalation, I will never buy anything by Slash ever again. I will steal that shit and not feel an ounce of remorse. Fuck you $la$h!!!!

This, although i dont agree on Axl "stealing" the gnr name because you can't steal what's yours in the first place. And i don't think Axl is a "control freak egomaniac", just an emotional n' hard to deal with person.

Would you say that Buckethead is a better guitar player than slash ?

Let's all email Rockfuel and demand a release or/and info on this.

Axl must be so mad about this, i wouldnt be surprised if the tour gets cancelled.

Was Slash offered less money then the other guys? Why does he have a problem and the others don't?

Well steven's financial and drug problems outweigh his problems with nu gnr.

Izzy doesn't give a fuck

Duff doesnt fully support/understand Axl continuing with a new band but he's ok with it.

And the way slash sees it there are only two outcomes, he'll get more money or Axl will get bad rep for yet another fuck up, win win for him. I guess his love for snakes really does fit him

Maybe, if nothing else, this will show that the Slash-Axl dynamic is not polarized, with one all good and one all bad. Instead, it's a case where both men lie somewhere along the continuum of good to bad. Perhaps they lie at different points along the continuum.

If this is true, the public perception of Slash take a monster hit.

The knee jerk has always been Axl=bad / Slash=good. Both Slash and his fans have traded on that mindset for years.

A lot of people are going to be forced to eat a lot of shit on this one. HTGTH might declare this a national holiday.

naah people and media will ignore this just like they ignored the other several times where slash has been proven to lie, etc... simply because Axl has a bad reputation and has become a joke so it's simply to talk shit about him than to suddenly start talking shit about slash. Slash will always be the hero.

Axl never lied n' call me a nutter but i'll stick with him to the end, at least he won't sell his dignity for more revenue

This is it people. grab your pitchforks and let's after $la$h !!!

Come on
