Zint Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 source: Toronto Sunquote from article:Slash gave CMW delegates what they wanted during his keyote address at Canadian Music Week on Thursday morning in Toronto: Sex, drugs, rock’n’roll ... and Axl. Being interviewed by CNN anchors and real-life couple John Roberts (a Toronto native) and Kyra Phillips, the former Gun N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver guitarist was surprisingly complimentary of his onetime bandmate and GNR’s lead singer, one Axl Rose. “You have to attempt to understand him as a human being and where he’s coming from. I see things very black and white. That’s just me. And that doesn’t necessarily mean that that’s right. And he sees things in a very colourful kind of way, and I can’t really knock it, ’cause that’s just him. So I try not to sit there and say derogatory things about his personality, because it’s his personality that makes him so f---ing great, and just difficult to deal with.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you think he's lost; If anything he's on top of his game at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you except for the "fucking great" part. It's better, but I wouldn't call it fucking great.From the stuff I've seen he sounds pretty good, but it seems like he can't hold notes for very long,etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever heard Slash say anything negative in terms of his songwriting ability or his talent as a singer or a frontman; he's always consistently thought he was among the best he's ever heard or worked with; his problem's have always been "other" issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRose14 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 This Carne dude tries way too hardI never liked him.No one does. Not even his own mother. As soon as she gave birth to him she tossed him away quicker than you could say jack rabbit just because she saw what kind of loser he was gonna turn into..and it happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Typical bitterness from the usual suspects.I think it's obvious Slash's comment is magnanimous, he knows first hand how dynamic Axl can be. Makes sense that he wanted back in Guns N' Roses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
