Yes, it was recorded earlier. MTV had a tradition for awhile in the 90’s showing big name interviews before the VMAs. Smashing Pumpkins did one at the height of their popularity talking about firing their drummer for drugs.

The Axl interview was aired right before the VMAs but it wasn’t presented as being a live interview.

Yes, it came on right before the VMAs in 1990 and it was the first time the public was told Steven was fired. MTV News has stated a month or so before that he had quit the band.

Ruining his reputation? You mean from talking about the autobiography he wrote that people bought from Amazon before it was yanked?

Ok, I believed the guys in Leaving Neverland but everyone is entitled to their opinion. A few things are possible: 1. Someone may not have the best timeline of events on things that happened as children. 2. Someone may lie under oath and it doesn’t mean they’re lying later. 3. Someone may be trying to get money out of a situation and they were abused. Those things are not mutually exclusive.

Did no one watch Leaving Neverland?

You mean the trial in 2005? The one AFTER the 93 allegations where he was strip searched by police and his reputation was basically ruined? Then he kept hanging out with children until he was accused again? Are you referring to the 4 years between 2005 and 2009 until he was killed with drugs because he literally couldn’t sleep at night?

Yes, Slash played on MJ’s History album which came out in 1995, several years after the first official allegations. He had also played on the 91 Dangerous album. So what’s plausible is that Axl had issues with Slash continuing to work with MJ.

I don’t have sleepovers with children so I’m guessing I’ll be fine.

Ok, you guys are right. OJ was innocent too.

No. Michael Jackson molested loads of kids and he was a fucking nutjob to boot.

Michael Jackson molested multiple children. We don’t need the court cases to turn out any way to know that.

This. In the end, Team Brazil talked more sense into Axl than any other manager.

On the one hand, I find it unbelievable that Doug doesn’t remember exactly where/when this happened. On the other, Axl may have been firing off more bullshit demands and contracts at this point that no one could keep up with.

Doug Goldstein talked about Slash and Duff signing over the name in an interview from a few years back. He confirmed that this went down in Barcelona 1993 when he was back in the states for some family obligation.
