I don't even know what games they're playing. It seems to me that Slash sends some kind of signals through the press, because it is obvious that Axl reads and watches all his interviews. What is their relationship like? For eight years, people have been going through different stages of relationships, and we proceed from some kind of ideal picture of the world, that there is an idyll between them. Aren't they both characterized by emotions of anger and irritation? They are both alcoholics and drug addicts with a shattered psyche and millions in accounts. Maybe there was more than one conflict? I don't think everything is smooth between them. It seemed to me that at the last show of last year's tour in Mexico, they didn't even approach each other on stage. Not how much the material for the album itself can exist, how much it's just slash's signals that he's ready to work. Maybe it was meant to mention VR and justify himself once again and emphasize that he didn't want to work with Scott. Paranoid Axl could have made a scene of jealousy. Anything could be between them.

By the way, there have been minor changes on Axl's website, a missing quotation mark and copyright changes have been added😂🤣😂

Fake fans hired by the Lebeises to maintain the illusion of his popularity?

And hasn't Slash already put his relationship with Axl at risk by recording a blues album with many different vocalists?

What generally keeps GNR at UMG? If there are any obligations and circumstances that prevent the release of the album, then why not change the label?

A metaphor (from the ancient Greek μεταφορά "transference; figurative meaning") is a word or expression used in a figurative sense, which is based on comparing an object or phenomenon with some other on the basis of their common feature. The term belongs to Aristotle and is associated with his understanding of art as an imitation of life. In this case, it is a metaphor of passion and despair, to which the lyrical hero is subject. In my opinion, this is so obvious that it does not require clarification for people who have read any poet at least once.

Of course I know, but it seems to me more and more that the powers of the Live Nation are much broader than the promotion of tours. It's as if they define and tell GNR what to do, what repertoire to perform, up to new music. They just squeeze the last juices out of GNR on their own terms. And it has to do with new music. Note that GNR does not even have time for thoughtful recording in the studio, and we have continuous endless tours. That's what I'm talking about.

Live nation. What does it mean? Has Axl finally sold out to the corporation?

Wow. Change the settings 😜🤭🙏

What Izzy said is a metaphor, like this: Found a head and an arm in da garbage can

These opinions are formed by two camps, Axl's camp and Izzy's camp. That's all. Those who indulge Axl, mix Izzy with shit, those who are on his side, say as it is that Izzy wanted to do everything right. And most importantly, none of the camps talks about equal pay and money. No one has said directly what happened.

Yes, but only in FP money it says that people are fighting over a bag of money. And there is an open path ahead. Just read the lyrics on the Internet.

Why did everyone decide that Izzy wanted equal pay? In his tweet, he did not write what he wanted and did not write about the payment. He only indicated that the members of the group do not exist on equal terms. It's a great fan misconception that he wanted equal pay. It was about the fact that there is inequality in the group and the climate in the team is unhealthy. That's why he didn't want to be there. There is no spirit of brotherhood. That's how I understand his message.

Fine, but there is a nuance. Beta is 69 years old and Axl is 62. He's younger. If you follow your logic, he should have shown respect to an elderly person and held an umbrella. But in fact, just jump out for a parcel alone and not bother an elderly woman.

Do I understand correctly that Axl takes off his Band-Aids and gives them to the fans himself? Is his autograph on one of the patches?

Of course, it is not very correct to generalize, but there is an opinion about musicians that they are vulnerable and sensitive people, someone should help them. Usually, a strong-willed woman stands behind a successful musician, for example, Sharon Osbourne, Slash had Perla, and Fortus's wife is a lawyer who defends his interests. Izzy did not choose/find such a woman/wife. Who does he live with there? some former model who, until recently, rented out the ranch. Who was doing it at all? In general, he was unlucky with a woman/partner. And so, yes, with the right management and moral support, he would have had a very successful career.

90% of the success of a song is the song itself, not the style of the hat and the curls underneath. GNR won't die without Slash if Axl records a smash hit with another guitarist.

Judging by what has happened over the years of quasi-reunion in terms of creative realization, nothing has happened globally. And this suggests that Axl is not the main one here. In an interview in 95-96, he said that Slash prevented him from creatively realizing himself. And we are probably in this time frame right now. In 85-86, Izzy and Axl absorbed Hanoi Rocks to create the AFD. In 95, Slash's material was rejected. In the late nineties, newly hired musicians absorbed industrial to create the CD. Probably in recent years, Slash's material has also been rejected. Maybe Axl has a musical concept in his head, but Slash, like in '95, can't implement it. Well, they still don't have a songwriter... All this partnership with dividing of loot does not kindle a creative fire. To release new material, they need a production center that will write them songs and produce them. But from what was said earlier here that their contract with Geffen is unclear, perhaps they need to pay for the release of the album out of their own pocket. And do they want to pay if the profit is already going on? Axl probably guessed that a lucrative deal to share the loot from the concerts would be a creative dead end for him. Now he is at a loss, I would even say that he is in a creative trap. On the one hand, he is dependent on the brand, and on the other, his creative vision does not coincide with Slash, as it seems to me

Просто для уточнения, а не для обсуждения. Иззи написал 120 песен (109 сольных и 11 из альбома Ju Ju Hounds), плюс еще три песни были написаны в соавторстве с Даффом МакКаганом.

I think the talent managers brought them all together and just waited for them to become friends, and then the myths about what a fun and friendly band they were were fixed in interviews and then in autobiographies. By the way, one of the talent managers, Vicky Hamilton, said that Axl threatened her. That's not why he threatened her so that she wouldn't blab about how it really was? In addition, someone in one of the biographies (I don't remember who wrote, maybe Steven Davis or maybe Razcue) mentioned that Duff was brought to GNR by a talent manager. I think the name Vicky Hamilton was mentioned. It was from the very beginning. The usual way to survive and build a career. Nothing to condemn. Judging by the stories of participants in the Los Angeles scene and near it, there were many children of rich parents and parents with musical connections among the musicians in the city. Izzy led the line of acquaintance with them. Chris Webber is the son of wealthy parents, Tracii Guns and Slash are the children of well-connected parents. I think at some point (if we remember, Izzy took Axl away from Rapidfire), they both realized that without influential friends they would not advance. They were ready for the marketing deal mentally. And I think Slash and his parents were actively involved in this deal (Axl and Izzy offer themselves as a tandem of creators, authors (songs, riffs and possibly solos) Slash offers his connections. In my opinion, the idea of a marketing project is the missing puzzle to understand what is happening with the band now and especially the last 8 years, no matter how bitter the truth may be. They are used to making deals, acting rationally, and not going the romantic creative way of creating a work of art together. The fact is that the deal between Axl/Izzy and Slash completed (circa 1991). For a new collaboration, they need a new foundation, in this case it's only money. In the classic line-up, the author of the riffs and songs was Izzy/Axl and the fact that they refused to reunite Izzy (songwriter) suggests that writing an album with original music was not from the beginning part of the reunion deal. I guess Dave's right.
