He can't stay out of legal trouble to save his soul!

It's about salary, i very much doubt he handles them himself, it's a problem with the managers, they are the ones that handle bands' money

Pitman is suing Axl!

This is the season of drama, gals and lads!

But why did he waited until 2016? Anyway, it's not likely that Axl pays his employees himself, it's a manager problem

Even if they hadn't talked directly yet, their "people" were negotiating about Coachella. Either they were playing with us or there was some kind of misunderstanding between them because each or one of them thought that the other camp had leaked info about the reunion.

I want to believe is the first option because it makes me laugh they coordinated for maximum passive-aggressiveness to hid that they were talking again.

The best part was: the moment they got Gilby and Duff on stage, crowd started chanting 'GUNS N' ROSES, GUNS N' ROSES' and a passive agressive Slash said 'You need to get that out of your system' or something. One year later the bitches were playing Coachella.  Not in this Lifetime, yeah right 

I'm not clear on the timeline but if they've already talked like @Blackstar suggested, i wonder if the first talk didn't go well or if it did and they were doing this to hide the reunion (but i also like @Blackstar little dialogue) who knows

It was a paper with a drawing of a male chicken, it had a hole where someone stuck their testicles, so the balls looked like the wattle of the chicken

Why, Axl, i'm between  and  because you know how something is so in bad taste you laugh? exactly

The "don cry for me, Argentina" tweet was hilarious, thou, great passive-aggressiveness

Nice interpretations of IRS, @Frey and @giuls. I guess people here would like it to be either about Erin or about Slaxl (and to some both would do ) and no one would like it to be about Stephanie , but it could be. I think it's more likely about a woman, either Stephanie (I'm inclined to that) or Erin, or maybe both.

Yes, i agree is mainly about Stephanie but i can see a little Slash slithering in there, if only a bit, you know, the "i tried everything to make you stay but you didn't and now i'm pissed/bitter" deal can apply to him too

Kinda weird he didn't ask Duff for Slash phone 

I guess it's because he didn't want Duff to triangulate their interaction and wanted to talk to Slash on his own term even if Duff has both Axl and Slash's best interest in mind

Wasn't it Skwerl who leaked it? 

And got nabbed by the FBI 

I don't know

IRS is basically about Stephanie.

 

I agree

I remember Sympathy for the Devil, but that's not originally GnR anyway. And there was another guy doing vocals with him.

I actually like the GNR cover but i rarely listen to it because Axl sing "politics" instead of "Politesse" and it irks me that he sings a wrong word, he knows the Stones, he could have asked someone to write him the right lyrics on a napkin or something 

ETA: i read about MSL, is he the one that leaked ChiDem? but you talk about him/her as he is not reliable? I know nothing about insider, sorry

Okay, IRS, let's try.

IRS is the taxes agency so him calling the IRS tells me he thinks the person "stole" money from him or they're profiting out of Axl in some way.

Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong
Wouldn't be the last I'm sure I've known
With all the rumors I could tell
Somethings didn't work so well

He was wrong about this person and they left him for better things but rumours said it wasn't going so well (him thinking Stephanie was the one and her legal troubles or Slash, the famous "I'll still be your friend" and his drug troubles, him relapsing during VR?)

Quote

 

As when you first told me you were gone
So long ago but I still held on
Through all the motions the love and the sex
And that's the truth, and here's the worst yet

Would it even mattered the things that I'd say
You made your mind up and gone anyway
And there's no use now in dragging it on
Should've seen it coming all along

 

This give me Stephanie vibe, even if the last verse could apply to Slash, let's not get carried away  t's Stephanie, she cheated, she could have said more than once she was going away but it wasn't meant to be and she actually left Axl no matter what he'd say.

Quote

Gonna make this a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it baby with your morning news
With a sweet hangover and the headlines too

He feels like they shitted on him (the famous lawsuit?) and Stephanie has problems with substances or we can go the Slaxl route with the GNR lawsuit and Slash's addiction but i think he's talking about Stephanie.

I wish he would do that again. 

I would be very surprised if he will do an interview in a timely fashiom, a chat with us would be out of question, imo

I don't remember him saying that in a joking tone. Not that he was dead serious either, but it was just an intro and linked to what he had previously said about the other song.

To me he sounded like he was joking but no-one is in his mind 

I'm taking a rain check on IRS, i want to teorize on it but it's late in the night, tomorrow is on, thou!

Ladies, this may derail the convo a bit but can someone tell what the deal is with Axl's ex-wife, Erin? Like... I'm totally lost on that one...

Nothing that we know of? Like, Erin seems like she wants back in Axl's good grace but Axl doesn't bit afawk, the only thing was his joke during "you shook me all night" and to me it seemed only a joke without any ulterior motive (i know, i know, it's a funny thing to say in this topic).

wow I can't believe this thread has 328 pages!  Seems like it was yesterday we were complaining in the Social Media thread about not being able to discuss some things freely  let's celebrate!

Yay, Axl, pour the whiskey! Slash and Duff can have soda

Also please note Axl's thanks: He thanks family and friends first (meaning the Lebeises and other people because they don't get mentioned again specifically), but Sasha gets mentioned on her own somewhere down the list. Together with other people who work for Axl. Meaning Sasha is neither real family nor a friend, just some kind of employee going by that booklet

She's only the catsitter 

I love this, yes, you are Duff

Everyone is so seriouuuusss

I agree on Steve for last tho... and Axl first. I've a friend that looks sorta like young Axl in Rapidfire only he's blonde n has shorter hair. I showed my friends one of the Rapidfire pics and they were all like 'holy fuck, whoever that dude is he totally looks like *friend's name*!!!'

 

You have a really hot friend!

The weird thing is that from the past I don't know how many years, only Agnus and Malcolm have gotten writing credit for all the songs. 

What did Cliff, Phill and Brian do in the studio? just sang and played what Angus and Malcolm wrote? how is that possible? 

Yes? A lot of bands has principal songwriters, not everyone has the talent to actually write songs.

@john lennon sorry, my personal chart goes: Axl, Slash, Duff/Izzy (it depends on the eras) Steve for last

@tiutso The wigs aren't THAT bad 

@Frey I like the theories, they're plausible, actually, it DOESN'T have to be romantic but this choice could have come from the same place that caused Slash to go "we're not soulmates!" when they aren't linked to that turn of phrase as other artistic pair are, the general public wouldn't think it naturally. Who knows with those two tbh 

Jesus!Axl is so a thing he would do.

This sounds like a new Slaxl theory waiting to happen.

Come on, I'm sure one of you guys can explain this from a Slaxl point of view lol

 

It writes itself, they'll never tell us but there's hinting

I still like him!

Theymay not have got married in America.

But for it to be legal there you have it to be registred, same thing.

Marriage licenses are public records in america, tabloids score them regularly, we would know if Axl was married.

Soooo....what did I miss? How's the Izzy thing continuing? 

It's actually funny, people were literally pulling figures out of their asses, taking them as gospel and getting outraged over, again, invented amount of money.

I sincerely laughed
