Nintari Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It seems like this is frustrating everyone except for Axl. I suppose as long as they do something productive it shouldn't matter but what is the reasoning for waiting until the last minute to tell your bandmates that a tour is actually happening?Just curious, but how do we really know this isn't frustrating at all for Axl?AliBecause it's always his call. Why would he be frustrated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintari Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 This part of the interview doesn't fit the Slash narrative.Delete it now, heretic scum, or face the Inquisitors.

Carne_asaDA Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 everything is just so much more difficult for this band compared to other bands, i wonder why that isThe answer to that question is in the lyrics of Prostitute.Principle. If we but knew what bands have to sell their souls to do to get to the top. Creative control, financial control, personell control CPA LAWYERS ect ect....There are thousands of bands who didnt read the fine writing in the contracts that are flipping burgers and delivering pizzas now and reminising about the good ol days when "they could been a contender" because the beggars and hangers on and the managment and the corporation raped them silly. Axl clearly has to have some measure of control of his music, his business his personal life and his professional life. Otherwise Im sure the powers that be would have piledrived him into being nothing more or nothing less than a nostalgic act on the fair circut trying suppliment his retirement income.I get that. But I think that it's safe to say that NO ONE from the GnR tree will ever have to worry about "flipping burgers". I think that the bands that you speak of that are doing to the burger flippings are the bands that were the cheap imitations of GnR that were to compensate for the poor decisions by the A&R's of the labels that passed up on GnR. ie....Bulletboys etc. and even Skid Row. Besides, if Axl is so concerned and paranoid about control, why not go indie? Take the assets from previous success and invest into his own label. I don't know.

youthinkso Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Bumblefoot is setting everything up in such a way he can quit the band and look like the hero for doing it. Remember this when it happens.Everything is part of his nice-guy act he plays very well and so many have fallen for.Axl is gonna get fucked in the ass, more than Slash did, just watch.Ironic thing is there were 2 guitarists Axl preferred more than Bumblefoot (besides Bucket) and they both refused to be part of it and considered to be leeches.Bumble had no problem with it whatsoever.He knew what he was getting into and he knew it would benefit him financially and career-wise in the end when he dropped the band in a 'I did nothing wrong, it is them'-way.So him now complaining openly the last year about things he already knew from the start is part of the game of winning souls.It is coming.Axl's problem is that he cannot get sincere musicians anymore (last ones were Buckethead and Brain after a lot of persuasion, but they left), because a sincere musician would not want to be in this band for money or career reasons (which are the only reasons you would now join Guns). And you can hear this definitely live, it sounds like a really professional, musically advanced, diverse session band Rihanna would hire in for a tour.Not an authentic Rock and Roll band, but a band that tries really hard to sound and look like an authetntic Rock and Roll band.The people close to the band for so long, that were there for sincere reasons, have almost all left, including me last year.It has unfortunately become a jukebox nostalgia act with session musicians because Axl made the wrong decisions concerning band members.He made the sincere ones leave and was left over with the leeches who are not yet done with him.For the ones in love with this charade, do not worry, they won't quit, this will go on for years to come."In This Grave" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glow Inc. Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Let's say for a minute that this is true, dave :Why would he leave if he's in the band for money and career reasons ?What exactly is keeping him from leaving ? It's been four years and he has yet to write anything with anybody ? Besides, wasn't Brain the one who publicly admitted complaining at Axl that he wasn't getting paid enough for rerecording Josh's parts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I think this is why Buckethead quit. All the haning in limbo stuff.Buckethead likes to play guitar, and put out lots of material. Being hired by Axl must have been killing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know nothing. Nothing at all. You don't know Ron, you don't know his friends & you don't know his behavior. I, just like many and many musicians, fans, and friends could assure you that this is the way he is and has always been. You, on the other hand, come publicly telling us stories out of your ass. Quit wasting our time, you are not his friend and simply should shut the fuck up instead of talking about someone you don't know. You think you know something but you have no fuckin' idea... at all.I wish people like this asshole (not that I'm insulting, but he's asking to be called this way because he claimed so much bullshit and simply can't be a fan trying to interact with other fans) would just shut the fuck up, but no, instead they always come here saying shit out loud and trying to be someone. This is pathetic, and if you think that the GNR musicians are this way, why are you still following them? Just ignore, leave. The world is full of great, amazing musicians that you could follow - including Buckethead. Just give up. Go away. Axl (Or Ron, Tommy, Chris, etc) doesn't need you and people like you. We (the fans) don't need you here.Ron's helping people on a relief flood by selling his music to the "donators" - what are you doing? Trying to be a "know-it-all" and saying shit out loud on the internetz. Such a cupcake, such a tool, such a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
