- Thanks the band for buying him 10 acres on the moon (no clue what that means)

Hahaha. I assume they are actually serious. I remember back around 2004ish they were selling off land on the moon(can't remember the size of land) for around $3000 AUD. Worst investment ever, lol.

From DJ`s Facebook page:

Dj ASHBA™ We had a blast celebrating Axl's B-day And Threw Him A Party At The Toothy Moose (A Cool Ass Bar That Bubbles Owns) We (The Band) Bought Axl 10 Acres Of Land On The Moon. . . .No Joke! Ha! In Hopes To One Day Be The First Band To Throw A Concert There. . .And Yes, Your All Invited! HaHa!!!!

HA, such a cool, worthless gift. Mainly cool though.

[The Glow Inc.]

So they really did buy it...

You're absolutely right Madison, I mean, last thing this board needs is more tension.

[Scumcat Esq.]

Ah! So the 10 acres of land moon was not a joke? The band really bought that to Axl! They probably wanted to get him something totally unique, something he never had and could never guess what it was. I wonder who thought about it... Brilliant idea.

... and something that would occupy as little space in his mansion as possible....

[lizwontcry]

Okay, so I know we like speculating about stuff here...DJ's facebook status says he's in NYC for Fashion Week. Fernando's status says he is also in NYC, so I assume Axl is, too. So...anyone want to start speculating?

Whoa! It just so happens that my "friend" works for a fashion magazine. http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=159624

Interesting. And Axl DID say in his last tweet that they'd "take a few days to regroup and then onto the next thing."

Edit: I think this is confirmed now

Axl just posted this on Twitlonger:

Fuck!! The NY shows were insane!! Love the free form laid back vibe n' both were completely different from r view. The fans were AMAZING!! John (Varvatos) was really great! And to keep CBGB's rockin'?! Badass!! Goin' into Rose Bar was rough on some. Lotta best left memories from the old hotel. The gig helped w/some o' those. Felt really good on stage. (We actually "LIKE" playing together n' I absolutely agree some things should b a lot less complicated than others made them in the past that's why we're together n' other's by their own accord ain't here.) We all had a great time, it was a madhouse!! Thanks to everyone who came out n' those who helped put 'em 2gether. Good to have a short break n' gear up 4 South America. I LOVE NY!!

On another note Guns is now managed by Doc McGhee n' we're off to a fun start. Big welcomes! It's nice to have the support!!

Elsewhere:

Canadian tour n' Slash banned clothing nonsense: which I addressed live as soon as it happened but hey fake allegations from unreliable sources bein' negative n' all especially w/us n' these issues got more weight to n' 4 aholes. Fabricated from a 2001 bs RS piece from Rock N' Rio. Bottom line Never happened, end of story. Fuck TMZ, ContactMusic, Spinner (I got ur attitude.)

Goin' on late at Rose Bar nonsense: Nope, Nopity, Nope!! 1:30am on time! U got played!! We were asked to do a show for fans n' friends etc. We were told when to arrive n' when to play between 1 an 2am which we did exactly. We didn't perform for the press or their deadlines other than that they were there. We do our best provided we r treated in the same manner to be polite n' cordial. The past can kiss ur ass, not gonna happen here. Under other circumstances n' advance arrangements things may have been or be different, w/these shows they weren't.

Goin' on "hours" late in Toronto nonsense: Based on set change etc. went on 1 hour 8mins late w/circumstances beyond r control n' last minute physical injuries from earlier performances (which took that hour to find ways to deal with) n' could have cancelled the performance not "hrs". Apologies were made. If u have a problem w/any of that or especially if u weren't there fuck off.

Not doin' surprise shows for the hardcore fans nonsense: Sorry some feel that way. Saw a lot at both gigs singin' every word in every song. We made efforts to get several if not all fans who contacted us n' were in town into these gigs. We also didn't know most of the guests as we don't live here n' for that matter what makes some internet fan more hardcore than whoever else anyway, oh that's rt...nothing!! Some just like 2 bitch 2 bitch. So if ur complainin' n' u drink beer, today I recommend a Lucky or perhaps a Red Stripe...if ur still peeved...again, fuck off.

I sweat nonsense: On ur mama! Really? That's what u write about? No shit! I work hard, it's good for ya n' I smell better than u!!

Takin' shots at Slash n' reunions over Haiti nonsense: Never happened. Wasn't aware of any comments from the old lineup.

So in closing...Fuck the LA Times, TMZ, Contact Music n' Spinner. I don't need "forgiven" for alleged n' fabricated nonsense. I've no respect for mean spirited aholes gettin' paid talkin' shit at other's expense or irresponsible biased partisan politics wanna be journalism by dated hacks. Go on! Back ur boy! But when he says he never killed no one that ain't exactly true. Yeah, that's right, stone cold. So if we happen to play your neighborhood or for that matter anywhere at anytime regardless of the circumstances, presales, public sales, give aways, even free shows consider yourself uninvited. It's a free country but you're formally n' publicly not welcome.

Bottom line is we ain't makin' efforts to rain on ur parade why piss on or take cheap shots at r's. Oh that's rt...how u make ur livin's all that counts not others, whatever. U ain't above anyone regardless of who or what corporation u work for n' unfortunately most of u'll get to learn that the hard way.

Everyone else...

Thanks for ALL the positive comments, press n' tearin' it up w/us!! It was absolutely fucking AMAZING!! Can't wait to see u out there n' we absolutely appreciate your support!!

Thanks again 2 everyone involved n' everyone that was rockin' out 4 makin' everything SO fucking great!!

What an experience!!

Peace!!

It wasn't for slash

[Mega_Music]

Holy fuck! I think Twitter might be the best thing Axl has done for us fans! Now who's gonna cry about this? The man is speaking up, the bands playing shows! If your gonna bitch and whine about that, you must of not of been around during the years of silence!

[Superfly Sister]

That was the longest "tweet" I've ever seen in my life.

[dslah]

Awesome. If his tweets stay like this; just addressing what's going on, it'll be great. I'm glad he's calling out TMZ and the like. I agree with him. They write about him sweating? Come on!

STOP SPREADING BULLSHIT please. I don't know how else to say it but he could have been talking about anyone at all in that sentence or using any type of metaphor no one knows what he was on about. The beginning of that paragraph says "in closing" which means that he was talking about several other topics in the last paragraph. In the sentence about killin someone he was most likely referring to the sentence prior to that, which says nothing about Slash.

Jesus fuckin Christ ppl love to put shit in his mouth.

[ladyeast]

Well said Axl! Goes to show that he does keep up to date with what everyone says about him. Glad he is out there having fun.

[axl_on_drums]

Remeber we saw Beta scanning the suprise gigs threads, seems she reads the threads, and gives Axl all the beefs the fans are having.

Nice he's using twitter to comment on those issues.

[Phanatic]

This is fuckin sick in the best way possible for sure. That tweet rocked fer sure. Such excitement.
