10 minutes ago, Lumikki said:@nn18 Finally we have a better version of that picture! Thank you! Now the only one we still need a better version of is that one I think:
He can have ONE beer, because we're nice like that. No more though lol. (And palačinky, is that the plural? I knew I was going to fuck this up somehow )
I also just remembered another thing Axl likes (because I had the same thing for lunch today lol). Marillenknödel (apricot dumplings?). I couldn't figure out what they're called in Czech, but I guess you probably have these as well?
I know Axl likes these because when Axl was here in 2006, he specifically asked (!) / demanded for people to bring him some Marillenknödel before he would go on stage (wonder where/when he learned about these? ). For anyone wondering what it is that Axl wanted, it's these things. It's a sweet dish (but also kind of tart because of the apricots) and it's usually eaten as a main course around here (I know eating sweet dishes full of sugar and carbohydrates as the main course in a meal seems insane to Americans and most other people in the world, but that's how we roll in Central Europe )
(Axl clearly approves of this way of eating too lol. And it seems like Slash is not the only one with a sweet tooth then )
I would make Axl all the Marillenknödel he could possibly want Though they aren't exactly good for his gut either
As for Duff and Prague, yeah, I remember him saying that. BUT I can comfort you- he's been to Prague again since then and has said it's one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. He even wrote quite a bit about Prague in his second book in the chapter about travelling. Screenshot for you:
Axl's sister was already backstage and the venue. And the situation was bad there, people were about to riot. And the police said they wouldn't stop people from rioting and destroying everything, so the situation was very dangeros for the people who were already there (like Axl's sister). So they told Axl this to convince him to leave his hotel room.
As for the stuff about Slash and Axl, here is the entire story copied straight out of Slash's book:
It shouldn’t be shocking to hear that it wasn’t always smooth sailing when Axl lived with my
family. As I mentioned, my room was off the living room, down two flights of stairs, under the
garage. For the most part, Axl kept to himself when I wasn’t there, but one morning after I’d left for
work, apparently he wandered up and crashed out on the couch in the living room. In other
households that might not have been that big of a deal, but in ours it was. My grandmother, Ola Sr.,
was our matriarch and that couch was the throne from which she watched her favorite TV shows
every afternoon. When she arrived, right on time to enjoy her regularly scheduled programming, and
found Axl there, sprawled out, Ola Sr. politely roused him. In her sweet, soft, old-lady voice she
asked him to go back downstairs to my room, where he could sleep as long as he liked. For whatever
reason, that didn’t go over well: from what I understand, Axl told my grandmother to fuck off then
stormed downstairs to my room—at least that’s what my mom said.My mom took me aside when I got home from work, and as easygoing as she is, she insisted that
if Axl was going to live under her roof for even one more day, he needed to apologize to her mother
and promise to never behave that way again. It was my duty to make it happen, which at the time I
didn’t think was that big of a deal.
My mom used to loan me her green Datsun 510, and as Axl and I drove to rehearsal that evening,
I mentioned, in the least confrontational way, that he should probably apologize to Ola Sr. for telling
her to fuck off. I hadn’t known Axl long, but I already knew him well enough to understand that he
was a sensitive, introspective person who endured serious mood swings, so I chose my words
carefully and presented the issue in a very nonjudgmental, objective tone. Axl stared out the window
as I spoke, then he started rocking back and forth in the passenger seat. We were driving on Santa
Monica Boulevard, doing about forty miles an hour, when suddenly, he opened the car door and
jumped out without a word. He stumbled, kind of hopped, and made it onto the sidewalk without
falling. He steadied himself, then took off down a side street without looking back.I was shocked; I did a U-turn and drove around in vain, looking for him for an hour. He didn’t
show up back at my house that night and he didn’t come to rehearsal for four days. On the fifth day he
appeared at the studio as if nothing had happened. He’d found somewhere else to crash and he never
mentioned it again. It was pretty clear to me from that point forward that Axl had a few personality
traits that set him very far apart from every other person I’d ever known.And here's the video:
Sorry for the long quote. I have the Herb Ritts book that contains photos from that shoot, (I'm old, got it for Xmas the year it came out) here's what he says about Axl in the book
