Does anyone know what TF that means? Or who it's directed at?

think it means to work at something until you achieve the desired goal & it was directed at slash. It goes in line w Axl’s later comments saying slash didn’t wanna “work that hard” hes basically saying that thx to slash being lazy and unwilling to work here we are

Personally if I was Axl I would be mortified at writing my own biography. 
He would have to address so much pompous bullshit he did in the 90s.

it would be embarrassing.

he did call the UYI videos cheesy or something to that effect in the Trunk interview back in 06. So by then he’d soured on that era and its trappings presumably.

my question is, now that slash and duff are back, how honest would he be about the breakup? would he be blunt and tell it how it went down as he saw it or whitewash it cause he doesn’t wanna piss off Slash?

I think so far this is the best thing he’s done since the early 90s. Or, at worst since ain’t life grand

What’s the over / under on Axl being on Metal Chestnut in some form?

Aren’t the Live Era vocals coming from AFD 99 sessions?

I was listening to Sweet Child from Big Daddy soundtrack and it sounds exactly the same vocals from Live Era. 

Yea 

If the whole album is like this tune this’ll be the best thing Slash has done since the illusion years 🔥

I can’t wait to hear these old blues standards done by Slash and co…could be his most fun thing since snakepit 

Made me think something leaked

It's going to be interesting to see whether the band will be able to continue as if nothing happened after everything is said and done. I could see it go either way. This lawsuit has definitely been reported very widely. A lot of people who didn't know about the allegations before are now aware. It could translate into at least some lost opportunities for the band.

The best thing they could do would be to quietly semi retire. Never make any large public appearance again. Quietly release music. If they go public again, she will go public 10x as hard and anyone Axl has pissed off in the last 30 years will also go public 10x as hard. This would destroy the reps of Slash, Duff etc by proxy.

This lawsuit isn’t about money, given her statements, it is about ending Axl as a public person. This isn’t a battle Axl can win in the court of public opinion. In the court of law, perhaps. But a lot of people still hate Axl and will readily believe the worst because of the bad reputation he cultivated in the early 1990s. 

GNR had a good run while it lasted. 

for Ozzy guitarists, Joe Holmes 

But Slash is King.

I was the gunman on the grassy knoll

Crap

So is Axl’s career over

Hit the nail on the head. It's so crazy to me that people try to say Izzy was the secret to GNR's songs. Slash has the brilliant riffs that no one else on earth could write. Axl is the 2nd biggest contributor IMO with his lyrics, vocal melodies and piano riffs that rival Slash's riffs in quality, but sadly not quantity. After that is a steep drop off. Izzy's solo work is completely unremarkable in terms of songwriting. Just basic chord structures that have been done a million times. He's got credit on a few good GNR songs, but that's it. And so do a lot of people, like West Arkeen. Where are the "tRuE fAnS" saying West Arkeen is the secret backbone of GNR and they would have been failures without him?

Anyway, I digress. They're already excellent albums. With Guns, they could have been world-beaters.

amen. I never found Izzy’s solo stuff to sound like GNR either 

What are your favorite aspects of it? What made GNR your fav band ? If they are 🤔🧐

Axl still sounded phenomenal on several GNR songs in 2016 and 2017.

Whether he fronted AC/DC or not really didn't matter with respect to criticizing some of his vocal performances in Guns.

In any event, I saw Axl give what is perhaps one of the greatest vocal performances I've ever seen in person when he performed with AC/DC in Philly. 

I would not trade it for less complaining with respect to his singing with Guns.

100% this 🫡

Nah AxlDC rocked 🤘

I guess for younger people it might be difficult to imagine the context at the time. Effectively, if the media decided to stop reporting on a band, and MTV decided to stop playing them, they were gone. There was just a handful of gatekeepers.

I remember walking into a record store and seeing a CD called the Spaghetti Incident and was totally surprised. I'd heard nothing about it. SFTD got a tiny amount of buzz, but mainly in terms of being an afterthought for Interview with a Vampire. Oh My God got even less; I think I remember a paragraph long article about it.

In some ways I think that what kept the intensity of the GNR fandom going was the lack of music in the 90s, the insanity of letting the band go and the attempt to recreate something totally new under the same name. It created a puzzle basically that people interested in GNR could try to solve for years on end. I think you see something similar with George RR Martin and the Song of Ice and Fire. I kind of lost a lot of interest in some ways in GNR after the puzzle was solved and the album was released.

These days there's so few large touring bands that I'd have been surprised if GNR weren't a success. A lot of the factors that reduced their popularity in the early 90s are long gone. Most young people these days won't know who Nirvana are, let alone bands like Pearl Jam. All the media gatekeepers are long gone. GNR actually outlasted them all, which is kind of interesting.

The video for spaghetti didn’t get much mtv play? What about estranged video?
