The Glow Inc. Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Well...The article is a bit TOO convenient...I know that a lot of people try to put ALL the blame for everything on Axl...but come on, let's not forget the no-shows, the cancelled tours, the fact that they didn't write a single song since 2006, his going awol after the release of the album, the Better video etc etc etc...I mean, ok, let's pretend that he's "100% clean" on everything like he suggests all the time...Why doesn't he hire competent people then ?

Estranged 14 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I dont give a fuck about alternate motives for the article, as far as axls concerned this was way past dueDid anyone else going to reading/leeds get a little more excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPaul_Player_91 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) It's nice to see a positive article about Axl for a change that doesn't make him look like public enemy number one.However, the anti-Slash stuff annoyed me. If there's one thing that generally annoys me in GN'R fandom it's the Axl/Slash divide between fans. Like you can either be a Velvet Revolver fan or a Guns N' Roses fan, a Slash fan or an Axl fan. Well, I'm both, I really enjoyed the Velvet Revolver albums and a lot of Slash's solo album (I'm not a huge fan of albums with different singers on each track). Just because two musicians have a disagreement doesn't mean you have to get tangled up in it. As for the "Slash is easily imitated" bit, sure lots of people can play the stuff he's come up with but can they write something as good as it?But yeah its nice to see journalists finally realising how great new GN'R are. I'm sure many people at Reading/Leeds will be pleasantly surprised by how awsome they are [if there's no drama regarding lateness of course].Did anyone else going to reading/leeds get a little more excited Hell yeah! I am so stoked about this show, it's been a long four year wait for me! Edited August 26, 2010 by LesPaul_Player_91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge4443 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) this is finally someone who knows what they are talking about. Other than some asshole writer who axl denied an interview request and then slams him for the next 15 years.

bacardimayne Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 "So while yes, it's going to be a bit of a pisser when you look at the stage this weekend during the signature riff of 'Paradise City' and it's not Slash playing it, the truth is that it will sound identical. Meanwhile, anyone who saw Slash close his solo sets with the same song this summer will attest that it was sorely, sorely lacking the most distinctive screech in the last 25 years of rock music. Go on YouTube, look up some of the most recent Gunners tour dates and see for yourself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy79 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Very good article. Finally GNR are getting some of the credit they deserve. And in the other article they hit the nail on the head regarding reunion and shit. I don't wanna see a classic line up playing old material only and doing the same shit as they did 25 years ago (excl. the running, cause Slash don't run no more). It will be a total disappointment because we will have to compare it with the images we have in our minds and on DVD&Youtube of them 20-25 years ago, running like madmen, playing their asses off. And unfortunately, it is not Steven's, Slash', Duff's, and Izzy's intention to write a new album before doing a multimillion dollar cashgrab tour. Correct me if I'm wrong, but not once did they discuss new material while talking about a big reunion tour. So if it's the $ sign that motivates them, fuck 'm. At least with new GNR we have new music to keep it fresh. And I hope Axl is smart enough to get this current line up in the studio very very very VERY soon.
