I'd be surprised if that's the case. His wife Daniella founded Frankie B jeans (named after their daughter) and is worth millions. You would hope that Gilby got well paid for the Illusion boxset too. As there's a full show of his era and plenty of photos of him in the book.
Sad to see him getting rid of this stuff but presumably he's got his reasons.
Yeah! I understand about the gear, is enough common, but to me is weird it leather jacket. I just wish he not need money.

Maybe he need money.

There were three versions of the UYI reissue (uyi1 deluxe, uyi2 deluxe, and UYI super deluxe) and all of them failed to make it onto the billboard 200.
In contrast, the different versions of the AFD reissue were enough to get AFD all the way back to #10 on the billboard 200 in 2018.
And this week back to #10 on the Billboard 200 WTTJ and SCOM too. It is weird.

It occured to me that you might be thinking of Aretha Franklin. She died in 2018. 🤔 Ariana Grande showed up to Aretha's Funeral with a short, tight, black dress like she was going to a nightclub and some Pastor was hugging her inappropriately or something like that while she looked uncomfortable. 😵💫 I remember people saying something like,"Poor Aretha. Her Funeral was so disrespectful to her. She deserved a better funeral. 💡
I now realize that confused she with Donna Summer, Summer died in 2012.

yeah to think we know more than we actually do leads to wrong conclusions. judging by the very limited and general info that Slash and Duff sometimes share with us regarding new music, it seems that at least Slash and Duff are optimistic about it happening eventually so of course a good approach is to take everything with a grain of salt, but being too sure that it is never going to happen doesn't seem to be based on anything concrete either.
Nothing is still definitive, at least with GNR.

yeah but Slash doesn't have to answer any Gn'R questions when it comes to a new album and Duff could avoid these type of questions too. to me it seems they wanted to talk about it when in the past Duff would say shit like "we're gonna keep it mysterious".
all I'm saying is that maybe, just maybe there were some positive developments in the new music department, meaning that Slash and Duff seem optimistic something would happen and the possibility of that happening shouldn't be shrugged off just because some shit that was said in the 90's or that Axl rarely releases new music.
the truth is that it's still possible for them to do it. maybe some people don't want to even admit that to themselves which leads to mocking even the idea of it which is just not how personally see it.
It's possible or not possible, i be 50% optimist and 50% pesimist, just the great three knew it. We just can wait and see.

what do Slash and Duff have to gain by talking about it? they don't need to talk about new music from Gn'R. the nostalgia is enough for them to sell tickets.
Slash and Duff must know some information that Axl has shared with them about it, at least letting them know in general that something is eventually going to happen when it comes to an attempt to record brand new music. that is just me speculating, but why would Slash lie and say that a new Gn'R record has been on the books for a while and should start coming together if he had no reason to believe that Axl wants to start the process of doing that in the future?
Slash wouldn't say that shit and Duff wouldn't talk about it in the way he did if they both were convinced that nothing is going to happen, what Slash said about it in this interview even suggests at least to me, that Axl told them a while ago that he wants to create with them at least some brand new music.
I don't say Slash lie, just Slash always need answer same, cause journalst always ask the same question. It isn't Slash blame. I be sure Slash feel uncomfortable about it question ad-infinitum too.

I'm stoked for this album, and it's cool to read about it, but this made me laugh.
I'm sure everyone has tons of ideas. The timing hasn't aligned. They all want to do it, they just need to figure out how.
Is same with different words....

I got this ad THREE times on a single page when viewing Axl's Website Thread. 🤨What is up with the same ad showing up THREE times on a single page? 🤨
It isn't place , you need go to Support part of the Forum.

Time to add my three cents on Katowice, Poland show.
Me and my crew were there at the venue since 10:00AM, preparing the surprise for the band.
We pumped 200 balloons in the form of '4' to celebrate newest SMKC album, also called '4'. We brought those up after Mammoth WVH, shortly before the SMKC show started. Handed them to people in front rows. Even though a good part of balloons didn't make it before the show started, it's been quickly noticed by the band and later during the set Myles appreciated it once again, talking about polish fans always being special to the band.
Around 4:00PM we've been invited by Cheryl Hall (SMKC Tour Manager) and Slash's new bodyguard Mike to the soundcheck. We could watch it in full - not my first time but hearing Slash's guitar alone and raw is always something unique. There we have had a scheduled meeting with the band, where guys signed the middle section of our 2013 welcoming flag (check video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k9DQVH0YeA&ab_channel=LiveMusicPL), which at the time was 12 meters long. Eleven years ago we cut it in few parts and sold all of them for charity, current owner of the middle (biggest) section of the flag reached me and I arranged the meeting. Entire band signed it and we will auction it for charity again early next winter. Here are some photos of guys signing it:
The show itself was really good, band as always was super tight and the chemistry was obviously floating around. Myles has been sick for few days already which you could hear while talking to him, but he did a really good job on the show itself. It's a nice addition to have Todd singing 3 fastpaced songs, those were like nitro boosters to the audience. Rocket Man is something that any Slash's fan should hear live, both pedal steel and Myles' vocals makes it a magical time in the set. Guys were tired, you can tell that playing a show each day in different countries isn't for them anymore, you won't fool the clock. They aged and you can see it.
I was hoping for some private moment between SMKC and the audience, Slash even teased us with Paradise City intro after Myles thanked us for the surprise, but nothing happened. I rate the night 10/10 though, guys, the management and security were super kind to us, Slash got late to an interview because he did not rush our meeting with the band. Super guy, amazes me everytime I meet him.

Great review!

I read Slash's book back when it was new, and I saw things in there that were factually inaccurate. Maybe he didn't remember them properly because of his drinking and drugging. I also thought it could have been a better book if Slash had written the words himself instead of using someone (I think it was Anthony Bozza) to transcribe his spoken words.
Most biographies has gosth writers.

What's funny is I got the complete opposite view of Axl from Slash, Steven, and Duff's autobiographies, and other stories as well from Izzy. The impression I got was that Axl didn't have a lot of game lol the supermodel thing I get though. That's any ego of any rockstar, and I think a lot of them are scouted out not just by Axl's camp but by the promotors of shows as well to keep up that image of attractive women wanting to go to their shows like a lot of bands did and do
It you well describe i feel is pure hypocrisy, supposedly rock is about authenticity....

Axl live in the moon, it is the reason he can't release music

Not really. Advisors, lawyers and professional managers must not be "yes-man" by definition.
Even your driver or bodyguard shouldn't always be a yes-man if you know what I myyouean.
Architects, structural engineers, pilots, accountants, and the list goes on and on.
In fact, only parasites are yes-man.
You talk most about university professionals, very different of another kind of employee.

Previous manager that not was yes-man all was fired for Axl.

If there were many, many, we'd see more pictures and less of Axl being caught out on the street or walking up to get his mail. Both of those are too random to be random in my book. But there are a few people who visit LA and make it a point to find his house. If he's some place public there's more of a chance a fan might take his picture. When he is caught though, you don't see security, he must feel he's safe.
Not so sure about that loves attention and lives the rock star thing. He likes racing and has to go to a friends funeral. Where else have you seen him or read an interview?
Can I ask who arranged for you to spend the day in camp?
Yes agreed Axl don't like get attention.

Hi guys.
So yesterday was my birthday and after hinting to my wife that the super deluxe version of Illusion (the 7 CD and Blu Ray version) had come down in price to 199 dollars from the NZ JB hi-fi, bless her heart she got me it. Awesome as it looks and as much as I'm looking forward to enjoying it one thing about the packaging fucks me off. The tracklisting of the seven CDs and the Blu Ray is on a cardboard backing which isn't attached to the box. Similar to how with the Appetite super deluxe edition with the CDs and Blu Ray the tracklisting is on a piece of paper very loosely attached to it's box. It's a fucking pain trying to store both so they won't get ripped.
What'd everyone else do with them? I'm thinking the easiest thing might be to get them laminated. Thoughts?
Happy belated Birthday to you!! ☺
