I can't reveal my sources (they are legit), but I would consider Richard's information with a little more credibility than usual in this case. Things can always change, but there's enough going on under the surface to consider Richard sincere in this case.

Fortus always seemed to me like a serious professional member of the band and I think Axl trusts him too. He doesn't seem like the type to be talking shit and getting himself in trouble.

So they don't care to wish Slash a happy birthday or the guy who handles the social media is too scared to get fired, but they say Happy Fathers Day? Don't they know about Axl's relationship with his father? Don't they know Erin had a miscarriage which hurt Axl a lot, then Axl gave his fatherly love to Stephanie's son but even that din't work out. Axl's own staff is making fun of Axl and are ruining the name by posting shit.

Just because one isn't a father or have lost his/her father is no reason to be bitter and don't wish a good day to those who are.

What I find sort of odd in that post is the lack of emotion. To write something like that better not write anything,... Could have put more effort in the wording out of the greeting and the whole post.

So you are accepting that he has retired haha?

??

Guess i missed the news of his retirement.

Sorry, i was busy at work.

At least a better dictator than the guy who wrestled control of his band citing grand schemes for an album trilogy then spent 15 years doing nostalgia tours with eger diminishing returns.

Really? So where is your band, your proof of being a successful artist, singer, songwriter, guitarist or whatever the hell you think you are as to give advice or life lessons to someone else?

Sorry, is it my job to motivate Axl? I thought that was what his nanny was for. And evidently, looking at the state of him, the fact that he hasn't put out a song in 7 years, has lost yet another band member and some of his recent performances have been nothing short of shambolic, I'd say they're doing a piss poor job.

If Axl can't read criticism without flying into an infantile rage, he's picked the wrong career path. If he's not motivated to perform well, put out music etc. then he should just retire. He's well within his rights to stay in his mansion stuffing his face with sausages free from public scrutiny if he so chooses.

Infantile rage is all this moronic talk about stuffing sausages in your face, fatness and what not.

I don't think you are in position to speak about Axl's motivations or lack of them, what he does or stops doing and when he should retire from music, LOL.

Why don't you try a coup d'état instead?

You've got all necessary features for a good dictator.

If you were in a band and your "fans" mostly talked about you being fat and criticized every performance to a fault would you guys be motivated to play and release new material?

No, I'd be motivated to lose weight and improve my performances.

Do you know why people talk about Axl being fat and not singing well? Because that is literally the only fucking development in this band in the last 5 years!

"Hey Steve, remember we saw GNR in 2010? Wanna go again?"

"Hmm maybe. Do they have a new album out?"

"No"

"But there's one on the way?"

"No"

"Are they playing any new songs?"

"No"

"So will it just be the same show we saw 5 years ago?"

"No, actually Axl's fat and can't sing now"

Annnnnnd /scene

You seem to have fans mixed up with ego-boosting, brown-nosing ball-suckers who will constantly tell Axl that his shit doesn't stink. Axl already has enough of those in his life and pays them very handsomely for it.

I dont know how anyone can get motivated by reading some jackass on the Internet complain about their body while hiding behind a monitor. I bet my ass that most people criticizing those things in Axl, look fatter than a whale and have never ever tried to sing anything.

Being mean has never worked as a positive hint for motivation of anyone. More like it unleashes hate, rage and a desire to shoot the meanie.

Reunion makes someone's blood boil.

I'll go for NUMBER 2. Most likely scenario and chance of hearing new sounds, new songs, not the same old AFD, Lies shit that I'm fed up with.

what is saled?

because Ashba is such a poser and constantly licking Axl's nuts...

Pics?

So there are signatures of Slash, Duff, Axl. I cant figure out the other one, is that Izzy's signature? im a little confused between if its Izz or Dizz

Disgusting arm.... and that Axl siggy looks fake.

Ron statements last night on our FACEBOOK:

"THAT's how it is to do press and have a title used out of context to rile people up and they come at you based on the title, not what you really meant in your words.....

Emoticono tongue

Can make you feel sad inside " RON

"this will continue to happen every once in a while. It just happens. But the good heavily outweighs the bad, it's worth doing. Everything in life has a 'tax' of some kind, lol. " RON

"You should really read the actual article, not the quote Blabbermouth used that makes you angry.rock.about.com/od/Interviews/fl/bumblefoot-interview.htm (I was very guarded due to a difficult entry into the band, and don't think I ever let my guard fully down, that's all. That's about me, not them.) You can hate or learn, your choice. " RON

"when does a human being have the right to answer a question about his own life, lol. I did my best to turn it toward the positives, but the media knows that *you* care about dirt, not goodness." ROn

"Media can do whatever they want either way, whether you speak or not. Most media doesn't abuse their responsibility fortunately. Sometimes within dozens of interviews, you're speaking openly and honestly where after the fact it looks a lot more scathing than when it was said. Whether or not you speak from the heart, if you're going to do a lot of interviews (between the new album and the AOA album and DMC and charities and events in dozens of countries, it's a lot of press), these things will occasionally happen.

Emoticono tongue My intent is not to upset anyone - of all the things talked about in the interview, anything else could have been focused on by the reader, but other sites will put a title that leads the tone of an article into a darker place - it obviously gets people clicking the link. " RON

Bumblefoot blaming the press for the bullshits he says is ridiculous.... where did he learn this? or from who? *hint* *hint*

Don't you people find it strange that he's always having to clarify what he said and always blames media for the 'out of context' comments? I say he's a big liar and he's dying to tell all the dirt about being in GNR but lawyers must have him tied to a post or something.

All bands, all organizations are rotten with rotten people in the teams. Be it a band or the Microsoft offices, not everybody can get along.... Even with the old lineup, do you remember when Axl said Slash and Duff used to bully him?

Blah blah, fuck this drama and BFF, liar, he plays victim but if he's in any headlines is because he is/was a guitarist for GNR so shut up and thank the press.

I hope that asshole gets sued all over.

This is not good publicity for the new guitarist... a bunch of bullies are waiting for him!

Nah, Axl wasn't the bully... he's never around. Prolly Stinson, Finck and the whole Team Brazil.

If you can't recognize the different shapes of Mr. Axl Rose you don't deserve to be called a real GNR fan.

I'm adorable, get me!

Yeah, the minute anybody tried to stroke you you'd claw their balls off and scream beastiality.

Why would they want to stroke me?

If I do that they deserve it!

I'm adorable, get me!

Damn that dude is the closest freakin' Clone I've ever seen, but that's not Axl unless he changed the shape of his skull,eyes,shaved his eyebrows,and started talking like a pussy. Plus that shy smirk when he's introduced as lead singer for Gn'R..... No way is that Axl "Cocky" Rose! By the way, for all you brainiacs out there, anyone can draw on a fake Tattoo. Take 2 more minutes and watch any interview w/ Axl and listen to his voice, not to mention this guy is about 32 yrs old and it's 2001?

umm, people keep asking why Axl looks so different here. well during this period Axl suffered from some minor cancer, so the medication and stuff slightly changed his image. Since He's fully ok now and obviuosly his eyebrows and face has gone back to his original form. If you look at his pictures now he doesn't look that different from 15 years ago, just the facial hair may make him look different and much older.

Probably THE most obscure Axl Rose interview. I have so many questions to which I know I will never receive the answers to. First of all, he's at a Basketball game (?) He hasn't given a proper interview since the Illusion Tours in the early 90's, then seemingly our of nowhere he grants an interview to a local NBC affiliate - not even the main network (?) He seems completely aloof to whats going on (?) His strange appearance (?) Where are the eyebrows (?) I could go on...

He's not allowed to go to a NBA game because he's a rockstar and he's not supposed to do that?

In normal circumstances, in a relatively normal home with mother and father and siblings, a child may very well have desire for the opposite sex, contrary to social expectations. However if a child is subjected to molestation, that molestation often traumatizes the child and imprints into his or her psyche their first sexual experience which the child seeks to duplicate. I have no doubt in my mind, that a boy, if molested by an older man, sodomized, made to fellatio the older man, will have his sexual destiny altered, toward homosexuality. If the abuse is persistence even more so.

what the hell is this and why has it been injected in this thread?

It's not as radically censoring as the OP described it but Jarmo is indeed rude at times.

And its not like he got a couple concert tickets. Axl took him on tour visiting an incredible amount of countries and cities.

Axl needs to hang out more with Duff and less with fatty Beta.

Duff knows how to become a hot ass in your 50's after looking like shit in your 30's.

Robots are cool.

More POWER to the robots!

If Axl had an ass-wiping robot, Bucket would have never left the band.

there's a video made by some hot dutch or german girl who went to Axl's house and she shows his bathroom.

The toilett has some computer-like thing and it looks like the chair of a spaceshift.

In 2001 Axl went to China and stayed there for 3 months or so..... Did any of you know?

Nope.

Calling him reclusive just because you don't see him around your corner only shows some people can't not even imagine what the life of a celebrity is.

When we got to see pics of him in the streets of London or whatever is because he actually was on tour. He has no need to hit the streets, he's not like us. He's got servants who do the groceries and everything the mortals have to do on their own.

He must not even wipe his own' ass. Must have a robot or something.

^^ I think I saw you featured on the GN'R Facebook thing....

20,000 euros?

Wow!

And the worst is people spend that money on things that will never look good on them as well as they did on Axl.

Check that model guy wearing the jacket, looks like shit, haha

And what about what the record comany and promoters want? They are the real owners of the circus. If Axl wants to do nothing, fine by me. But it is not the best way to end the journey

If they are the real owners of the circus then why there is no reunion?

Because Axl owns Guns N' Roses name and he does with it whatever he pleases, even if that means burying his whole career into oblivion and disappearing from the face of earth.
