The Wicked Hand

Guns n roses biography is on the bio channel for those who wanna check it out n the us.

Thanks ...

Unless we were actually there, all we to go by are the opinions of those that were there.

This might not be fact, by definition, but we can come up something pretty close to what happen, especially when everyone, except for one, of the parties involved say the same thing.

I know best buy is having bigtime financial troulble, as alot of music retailers are, but are they definately going out of biz?

Unrealistic expectations....lol .... You are a fucking riot dude.

It's not unrealistic to think a band is gonna put out music when actually give a date, or say a video is coming soon, or show up for a show only for Axl not to or walkoff, or say that they'll release a followup the next two years. It's actualy very real when axl says he's gonna do something and then doesn't. I don't take it personally but I think since he kept the name guns n roses he should try harder to live up to it.

Slash fo sho...

Buckets a better ripper and a technically better guitarist but slash writes better GNR riffs and solos.

Does the rest of the band suffer monetarily when axl decides to go on late?

Word!!!

How was my post bashing Axl?

No Im not rainbows and bunny rabbits about axl but I don't mindlessly bash him.

I state my opinion about what's being discussed.

I can be a fan of the MUSIC and not the person.

So how about instead of you giving your opinion of my opinion, you give your opinion on the topic.

Do the fines affect the other members besides Axl?

I know that a lot of fans think that Axl is "letting the tension build", or "adding to the mystery". I think he doesnt do this on purpose at all. He cant help his shortcomings. Its just the way that it is. IMO, this is just an excuse fans make up to defend his actions.

Yes.... He has definately lost many fans throughout the years.

He either does it on purpose or just is incapable of explaining himself.

But some posters on this forum state they like no communication, being misled, no music etc. and refer to them as shenanigans... I don't understand this but some people enjoy being abused....

Slash is so melodic.... To me, that's what makes him so good.

^^This is a GNR forum. And since Slash played such a huge part in GNR history

Please just stop

And to state that slash shouldn't be discussed at a gnr forum is abviously coming from people who are insecure about the new band. your vag n chill.

What don't you understand about former member section?

I don't bring him up. Everytime I log on, there are people talking about him or bashing him in nearly every thread.

and your the main one that talks about Slash, so what do YOU not understand.

I don't bring him up. Everytime I log on, there are people talking about him or bashing him in nearly every thread.

I like nugnr. Don't know what the fuss is about. And to state that slash shouldn't be discussed at a gnr forum is abviously coming from people who are insecure about the new band. If nugnr would put out nu music we all would have more to talk about, and hope they do. The only negative things bout axl I talk about is the no show , no comunicate. Blahbkahblah. Which Ive decided not to do anymore, it's pointless. I do defend slash because he was a huge part of gnrs success. So wash the sand from your vag n chill.

I really didnt like it the first listen, but some time went by, I broke it back out and some of the tunes grew on me.

SOD,TWAT,prostitute,scraped,TIL- I came to somewhat dig after awhile.

I never blew me away, but I can respect it.

I really enjoy the arrangements and guitar work.

I don't get why people are giving slash shit about how much he is keeping from the auctions. These are items he has spent thousand and thousands of dollars on. Sure, some of it was given to him, but the furniture, car, guitars, dinosaurs, etc are things he purchased. Why shouldn't he get money back from it? The wealthy don't stay wealthy by giving all of their shit away.

Because all "they" do is praise everything Axl does and shit on everything Slash does.

I played a gig last weekend and we raised 10,000 for the United Way.....

I also teach a music class once a month at an under privaleged school.....

I dont have any money to regularly give, but I do alittle for the cause....

What about you?

Fuck that........This was about Axl....So what has Axl done, since you wanna bash the amount Slash gave?

I know what you meant. That's fine and all but if you're going to do an auction do it right.

Anytime some one gives anything to charity, its a cool thing, and should praised, not picked apart and spun in a negative way.

30% is half assed. (if true)

You just look for any way to take a dig at Slash.....Its so obvious...

So what charities has Axl done besides going for a couple of hours to a cancer center?

I know what you meant. That's fine and all but if you're going to do an auction do it right.

Anytime some one gives anything to charity, its a cool thing, and should praised, not picked apart and spun in a negative way.

No, Im saying if he just sold em and kept all the money.

What if he just sold his guitars? Would that be ok with you?

Hmmm... its sad that attention whoring gets you famous but it was always that way. Axl deserves that star so much.

Off topic but: Can anyone explain Slash and the Juliens live auction?

From what i see Slash sold off loads of stuff and most of it went way over the estimate prices. People I have been talking to believe only 30% goes to charity!? If that is true I'll be so disappointed in Slash. i know the auction house gets a percentage and Slash gets the rest. I assumed all was going to charity.

30 percent isnt good enough for you? does he need to give everything he owns to charity for you to be satisfied? besides, what has axl done for charity lately?

We don't know, and that's the way that it should be.

Charitable donations should never be public knowledge. The only reason that we know about celebrity donations is generally for publicity. You should have the humbleness to keep that under wraps IMO.

It's different if you need to promote it in order to gain the funds. Such as what Bumblefoot is doing with the Skype guitar lessons.

Nice post and pure truth!

In so far as to making egregious allegations that Slash mislead the public about a charitable auction, no one has actually presented any evidence that Slash mislead the public. I'll admit when I first about the auction, my instinct led me to believe it was a charity auction but I never saw any reference to be a charity auction. I looked at the Julien's website and Slash's tweets and couldn't find where it was being promoted as a charity auction. It was really in terrible taste to make allegations without any sources or evidence. The OP in my opinion did a great disservice within this thread in providing the public with partial information when all the OP did was start rumors.

I think its great that Bumblefoot helps out with charities. I think he's a genuine character. If someone donates part of money to charity then that is great and so is promoting the charity itself. I know that pretty everyone from Slash to Bumblefoot retweeted on Japan earthquake and Australia wildfires.

I haven't seen any proof about how much slash kept,and how much he donated,but you can't deny he used this opportunity to put himself in the spotlight once again,not surprising at all,and I don't see it as an egregious allegation,unless you can provide evidence to the contrary

Its pretty fucking sad that you down a man for giving money to charity. You must have some serious deep problems and I honestly feel sorry for you...

Nooooo!

No one can possibly be a fan and have any kind of negative opinion.

U will offend the Axl Rose Police Squad.

Come on people..../ fall in line....
