  1. I'm guessing they will, but hey, as usual, it's Gn'R so who knows?

    That said, the day this is on shelves, I'll be nabbing the blu-ray. :shades:

    Odd it's being released (only?) in Germany though. I would have guessed something like this would be released in cinemas in South America before anywhere else.

    I'd say bring that shit to a theater near me, but I swear I'd be the only one in the theater, as sad (or awesome for me?) as that would be :lol:

    maybe this will be something Axl will be announcing on Kimmel Live

    But one thing I noticed is: all the text is in English, germans are known to do everything in German, not English and the Video says nothing about Germany

  2. I kinda hope It's sarcasm, like: ''fuck you and your silkworms''(or something like that), but I don't think it is...

    FUCK GNR. I'm on vacation' date=' My concern is my family & my health, I don't fucking care & don't want to hear anyone's complaints about Axl's Band.[/quote']

    I get he wants a nice relaxing vacation, to work on health and stuff. but saying ''FUCK GNR'' and ''don't want to hear anyone's complaints about Axl's Band'' is serious, he always seemed like nice, calm guy to me, also when I met him, but I think I might have been wrong. :confused::question::scared::no:

  3. What does it say, I can't hear it? For me it sounds like "Act so rough"..

    the video got removed, again. but she sang: Your Talks are Tough, Axl Rose. Darling you can't hide, the heartache and the sadness, that's buried deep inside.

    EDIT: You were right(this is embarrassing), it is indeed Act So Rough, I heard Axl Rose. Nevermind. Close, Remove, Whatever this topic

  4. EDIT: (this is embarrassing)She sings: ''Act So Rough'', I heard: ''Axl Rose''. Nevermind(It would've fit tough). Close, Remove, Whatever this topic

    Was watching Simpsons tonight and there was a Axl Rose Mention in one of the characters songs

    http://www.clicktoview.org/wcc3ddb8nsif

    start watching from 10:20 (or watch the full episode ;) )

    she sings: ''Your Talks are Tough, Axl Rose. Darling you can't hide, the heartache and the sadness, that's buried deep inside. ''

    Seasons 3, Episode 20 - Colonel Homer, this episode was first on TV on 26/03/1992

    maybe not very special, Just tough I'd share

  5. The Original website removed the GNR content, what I saved is:

    if somebody could send me the damaged files, that would be great

  6. This guy is basically the solo embodiment of KISS.

    Put his name on anything he can get it on.

    Good analogy.

    Out of all things he could sell, it's strange there's no DJ Ashba signature Les Paul yet.

    he said a while back they are working on it! and also a signature Wah Pedal

  7. Thank you for sparing me the effort!

    OP: Next time, take a look around before starting a new topic. This was discussed the other day. :) Cheers.

    You do realize that the link he shared, goes to THIS topic right? I didn't see another topic about this subject :question: or maybe I just don't understand what you mean in this case

    EDIT: I saw you merged this thread with another, sorry :)

  8. Andrei says it's made up! some MyGNR members not so sure :question:

    Thanks Angeles_

    Edit august 17, 2012 : On Twitter, Andrei Gillott refutes this story saying it’s “Complete Fabrication. Just someone hungry for some attention.” Let’s add that before putting this account online, we saw Andrei Gillott’s business card, the VIP pass given to our witness, guitar picks from all the band members that had been given to her too, not to mention the picture at the beginning of our article showing our witness and Axl Rose. Besides, we got in touch with two other girls who were at this party through Facebook to see if their side of the story was matching, and that was the case. For all of these reasons, we consider this account credible.

    Thanks: russtcb

    BEHIND THE SCENES : THE OTHER AXL ROSE

    Tomorrow, the Motocultor Festival begins. Before enjoying a festival, it is always good to plug yourself in a « festival mood » : you refresh your knowledge on many band’s music, you remember the great experiences you’ve had and the usual unexpected guests you’ve bumped into.

    During this year’s Hellfest, we met a very charming lady with whom we shared a very interesting moment. She had the opportunity, after GunsN’ Roses’ show and without really understanding what was happening to her, to spend the whole evening in the tour-bus of a certain Axl Rose.

    axlrose-199x300.jpg

    The story she told us was interesting for two reasons. Firstly, it is the story of a fan who, without being an insider, transformed herself from the average “festival girl” to one of those persons we all envy : the type of person who watches the show on the side of the stage, who’s got backstage passes – which we couldn’t have this year, even though we had our press accreditations – and who can talk to the artists themselves. Secondly, as she spent a whole evening with the famous Axl Rose, she met someone totally different from the temperamental and totally out of control person the medias always describe. She recalls a nearly vulnerable Axl Rose, who spoke of his regrets, his lost friendships, and above all Slash.

    More than a year ago, we interviewed Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal, who stood up for Axl Rose in front of all the different critics that could be levelled against him. If it appears quite understandable that Ron Thal doesn’t want to badmouth his boss, it’s another story with all the other people – among them our charming lady – who met the famous singer and stood up for him. After all, even Slash himself declared that you can’t judge Axl Rose without knowing him. As well as telling us about her journey backstage, her apprehension about not knowing what will come next, the temptation to run away as fast as you can, our charming lady gives us a picture of one human being, Axl Rose, as opposed to the guy we are told of in the medias or by disillusioned fans.

    Axl-backstage.jpg

    Here’s her story :

    « After Black Label Society’s show, while getting me a beer, an american guy (whose name is Andreï) stops me :

    Him : Hi ! Do you work here ?

    Me : No…

    Him : You’ve got a VIP pass ?

    Me : No… (?!)

    Him : You’d like to have one ?

    Me : Are you kidding me ? Of course I’d like to have one !

    Him : Do you like Guns N’ Roses ?

    Me : Guess what ?!

    Him : All right : let’s meet 15 minutes before the show in the VIP area. I’ll take you to the stage.

    Me : (taken aback, asking myself if I really had understood everything and if my English was still correct) OK, no problem, thanks a lot !

    Here I am, with a red VIP Press bracelet and a Cheshire Cat smile. 20 minutes before the end of Machine Head’s show, I go to the VIP area. I now enter the hidden part of the festival, decorated magnificently. I realise that this VIP area is just a nice place to chill out, without any access to the stages or the artists’ dressing rooms. I must confess that I’m a bit disappointed, even if I see some musicians who have played today. Thereupon, Andreï pops up, catches my arm and says :

    Him : It’s you I saw this afternoon, isn’t it ?

    Me : Yeah, it’s me !

    Him : All right, follow me.

    We now go behind the press area and take a stairway before getting to the side of the stage. He tells me to stay quiet, to switch off my cell and not to take photographs. Apart from Loïc (the sound engineer) and Benjamin Barbaud (Hellfest’s big boss), there are only women with me : an english one (who had arrived like me), two spanish girls who had been “recruited” during Sebastian Bach’s show and two other ladies accompanying Benjamin Barbaud.

    The show begins. Andreï takes us beyond the “Do not cross” banner, so that we can see better. We have therefore the same view as Axl Rose, in front of a seemingly endlessly audience. During the show, DJ Ashba give us twice some Jägermeister shooters between the songs. Andrei comes back to give us the picks of Guns N’ Roses’ three guitarists and suggests to wait him here for an ‘after party’. We’re just close to Axl’s dressing room in which he changes himself after each song (he’s so concentrated that he looks angry).

    After the show, Andreï takes us backstage : three french and two german women, the two spanish girls, and me. While we’re asking ourselves why we’re here, one of the French girls says disdainfully : “All right girls, don’t get nervous : the guys are on holiday tomorrow and they need girls from 2 to 7 a.m, that’s all !” She tells us she knows what this kind of “after party” is all about, having had an “affair” with Rammstein’s singer, Till Lindemann. Two of the French girls leave, afraid of getting soon knocked up. The two spanish women turn to me with a ‘What are we going to do now ?” look in their eyes. After having said to ourselves that this was a unique opportunity that couldn’t be missed, we decide to stay together, to see what happens and to leave if anything goes wrong : yes, we couldn’t leave like that without regretting it.

    Andrei takes us next to a subdued lighted room with its huge “all you can eat” buffet (there is more than 15 pizzas, among other things !). He tells us to help ourselves while a cool DJ Ashba arrives, dragging on his electronic cigarette (yes, he has decided to quit smoking). Axl Roses comes a bit later, barefoot, with his dressing gown, a bottle of Champagne in his hand saying a loud “Champagne !”.

    Here we are clinking glasses with Axl Rose and DJ Ashba. A little bit intimidated, we spend nearly two hours talking with DJ Ashba before Axl Roses suggests that we finish the evening in his tour-bus. Seeing us hesitating, he begins to tell us that sex, drugs and alcohol aren’t his thing anymore : he is now chaste, pure and goes to mass (how believable this is !)(Edit: Mass is Catholic Church). He says in a teasing way that he doesn’t want to kidnap us and have problems with the French police. We therefore accept and so we are six girls finishing the evening in Axl’s tour-bus with him and Andreï. We talk about tonight’s show and when Axl hears that “Live And Let Die” is my cell’s ringtone, he says to me : “Hey, that was Slash’s idea to make ring tones out of our songs. I wasn’t for it at the beginning, but I must admit he was right”. During the whole evening, Axl doesn’t stop telling us stories about Slash, about their childhood like when him and Slash had a new song and both jumped on his grandmother’s bed so happy, before being given a roasting. He goes on saying that it’s been very difficult to find an other guitarist after Slash, who was unique, and goes on praising DJ Ashba as a very nice human being. Clearly, Slash is still very much present in Axl’s life, even though he’s supposed not to be a part of it anymore…

    He tells us his meeting with Tom Cruise, a great fan of the band : both him and Tom Cruise couldn’t meet for a long time because of their respective heavy workloads until one day, in Australia. Tom Cruise was so happy that, it has been said, he was jumping on every sofa he could find !

    But Axl Rose seems nostalgic and regrets a lot of things : he tells us that he’s lost almost all his childhood friends because of his success and that their relationships changed when they started getting interested in him because of his relations.

    He also deeply regrets the image that the press has made of him, making its profits of a megalomaniac, temperamental and erratic Axl, before making excuses to him, without doing it publicly. If Axl insists on the fact that he always tries to be direct and serious with the press, he’s unlike Zakk Wylde who can tease more without having a bad reputation in the press.

    Likewise, says Axl, Slash is considered as an angel by many journalists but can be much less nice in private.

    We are listening to Muse on the radio, “By The Sword” on Slash’s solo album is now on air. While Andreï stands up to switch to another station, Axl stops him and says “No, leave it. I love this song”.

    It’s six a.m : it’s time to go home. After one – even two- big cuddles to Axl, we come out of the bus, still not realising what has just happened to us. Here we are, three girls in the middle of the festival area, completely deserted. After having walked a bit and enjoyed these last moments, we go back to the camping site to finish our night…”

  9. In a Interview with Collegemagazine.com:

    With a lot on his plate these days' date=' ASHBA has no plans to take it easy. Guns N’ Roses just returned from their three month Summer European Tour and plan to tour again very soon. But for now, he's in the studio, “writing songs around the clock” and focusing on the new album. [/quote']

  10. my personal favorite, Axl trows his mic at me! (6:40)

    Dj Points at me, 'cause I'm wearing a Ashba Swag shirt (very bad quality 0:28)

    and other moments that weren't cought on camera, M&G and fun and games, with almost everybody on stage

  11. the app isn't really special.

    the places tab is kinda cool, it show locations of Axl first house and school and stuff

    the gallery has (only) 15 pictures

    discography is, just the tracklist of the albums, with some youtube video of a song that is on the album

    the quiz is kinda cool

    the app is all about the original band, only in the discography, CD is present and in the quiz, there are some questions about CD.

    the app is not worth €1,59

  12. Wow, he is such a poser.

    Ashba is the kind of guy that just dosen't look right in any situation. He tries too hard and never fits in anywhere. He is just akward and annoying.

    He isn't meant to be a musician. He is a good at business so why not just keep to that and stop using the GNR name to promote his shitty company. I'm sick of this guy. He is such a bland player and every single thing he does is obnoxious and intolerable.

    :jerkoff:

  13. Anyone with an opinion that I do care about?

    Dont know if you care about mine, but were you not at the Rotterdam show? His voice was amazing that night. At the Paris and Germany shows he had good and bad moments, but in Rotterdam I thought he was great.

    I wanted to say the same thing :D
