In light of current and recent times for Axl, if I were Guns N'Roses Manager, I would advise Axl to not do a settlement when it comes to the Sheila Kennedy sex assault accusations. I'd advise him to take this to trial and be found not liable. Settlements look bad on the side of the person paying, a prime example is the Michael Jackson child molestation case in 1993 with Jordan Chandler. Michael Jackson paid millions to settle and Jordan as an adult admitted that Michael never molested him and this was all his father, Evan's idea because Evan wanted money. Michael himself said he regretted doing the settlement and wish he went to Trial. Sheila Kennedy is an unreliable Narrator at BEST. Her changing stories are VERY worrisome and questionable. I could see if Axl did a Settlement and then Shelia after getting paid in a settlement admitting Axl never sexually assaulted her and bragging she just wanted his money which she got. So, if I were Axl's Manager, No Settlements, go to Trial. 

I would argue that not emulating anything Michael Jackson did post 1988 would be a good idea

Blu-Ray is still a thing?

Because it's kind of fucked up, if you're aware of what happened back in 2016. 

Yeah it's so fine Izzy walked out of the rehearsal before the first show of the reunion, made disparaging tweets directed towards the band, and then wrote essentially a diss track about the situation, and there hasn't been any word regarding the situation since ... But OK 

Izzy did all those things. Axl didn’t say a word. And it’s all Axl’s fault?

I’m pretty sure Steven stopped caring about GnR as soon as his newest singer (the guy from Argentina) joined his band back in late 2018/ early 2019. That guy does Axl better than Axl these days.

Steven plays about 12 shows a year of all GNR covers at various 80’s nostalgia festivals around the world. I wouldn’t say he “stopped caring” about GNR.

Who do you think gave Axl the news that Tommy would sit that tour leg out?

While we're at it, it begs the question whether Ax was told the whole story there and then.

Didn’t Tommy do a year long Replacements reunion tour after he left though? Maybe has something to do with that?

Slash did say he writes music for GNR, so... 

Didn’t Bumblefoot and Ashba say that too?

Judging by the two singles they released, it might have been better to end it all. 

I love Dave Grohl as much as anyone but the last 10 years of Foo Fighters music has been wildly mediocre

All that fucking music. ALL THAT FUCKING MUSIC. Just sitting there on a hard drive in Malibu. All that fucking music that would bring joy and happiness to so many guns fans’ lives. All of it…hoarded. By Axl fucking Rose. 

My 2 cents: it’s sitting there for a good reason

The helicopter story - that can’t be true, right? Holy shit!

This

How would Slash be able to ask Fortus to join if he said no to a tryout? Sounds like they had their answer early.

Move to the City

Scott also seemed to be believe that a GNR reunion was imminent at this time which was causing friction in VR. I’m guessing that’s another reason that Slash initially denied the trip to Axl’s ever took place.

I know this has been beaten like a (no pun intended) dead horse but... the only way I could give less of a damn is if I were deceased.

Wake me when they write an entirely new album. Until then, it's the usual: 87-93 Youtube videos and my records.

Thanks for checking in

You also might want to have the tour dates too......

Yes, that was a mistake. This was Live Nation’s baby though, not GNR.

Would have been a nice opportunity to also feature a 20-second snippet of new music during the commercial as well. That's GNR for ya.

Not to advertise a tour. You want songs people know that will make them perk up and look at the television.

So instead of when everybody is off and has time to screw off, wait until they go back to work?  

It’s not a holiday for very many people

It was on MTV at the time and was a welcome sight amongst the sea of garbage that aired then.

I couldn’t get through 30 seconds of that video (I know, low attention span). What kind of book is he coming out with?

Joe Rogan would have no idea what Chinese Democracy is whatsoever.

And 50% of the interview would be Rogan talking about all the wild game he eats.

True story. I was hanging out with him outside in between his main set and the encore at a show awhile back smoking a joint and a cigarette. He was throwing up and apparently dope sick. His tour manager was there too and said she was going to call the rest of the show off, but he wasn't having it.  He pulled it together and went out and killed it for 3 more songs. I can't even remember when this was.. Almost 20 years ago? It was when Joe Leste, Chip Z' Nuff and Alex Grossi were in the band. It was actually a great lineup. 

Anyway, I hope he is ok.  Maybe he was holding his heart as a sign of love and appreciation? Did he end up finishing the show?

$100 says he was dope sick at last night’s show too.

I would love to read this book. There’s probably tons of juicy detail there.

That being said, I’ve always found Goldstein to be pretty obnoxious. He’s got all the annoying traits of guys on the business side of the music industry: inflated sense of ego, loves to name drop, thinks he’s funny, and wants way more credit for the success of an artist than he probably deserves. Plus he still sucks Axl’s ass to an unhealthy degree.

Refresh my memory again guys, what years were Josh + Bucket in GNR? 

I believe Josh was 97-99 and Bucket was early 2000-2004ish. I don’t think they overlapped there. Josh was leaving as Bucket was being recruited but someone feel free to correct if this is wrong.

Izzy self-sabotaged coming back for the NITL tour. He would have to know he wasn’t getting paid what the others were and used that excuse to not show up. I’m not totally convinced Izzy can really play anymore, let alone pull off a big tour.

As far as being friends, Sorum’s book indicated there was bad blood between Izzy and Duff after the NITL appearances didn’t work out.
