axlsalinger Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Does the video where MSL reads the Axl email to Robin Finck still exist?Wait - what? I don't think I saw or heard anything about this. Link, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 IThat's impressive. Can you explain me how they have those files? I don't know anything about this but I'd kill to read those files.Guess you weren't around in the spring, cause this was a big story/controversy at the time. But long story short, a hard drive was apparently mailed to a forum member named mister saint laurent, containing those documents. (he was notorious for leaking some CD demos previously. He wrote an article about a few of its contents and posted a couple of tidbits, threatened to leak the whole thing, but then stopped talking about it and eventually joined the witness protection program.

Roush Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I imagine it would read like The House Of Leaves.I criticize Axl's musical convictions, his weight, and his unwillingness to prepare. But there is one thing no one can debate - dude is fascinating. His insanity is enabled by his wealth. I mean, his friggin' adoptive mother is his housekeeper. Then there's the crystal story. And how he closed down Disney Land so him, and Bucket could have the park to themselves. The weirdo Erin Everly testimony about how Axl believes how they were reincarnated souls, and bound to each other. I think it's pretty cool. Here's a guy who blows his millions- but does so creatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah, looks like Tommy is still in the band. Wonder if there will be a re-issue of CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzi your illusion Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 From what I remember, according to the MSL list, there is a document detailing Axl's side of the story called 'The Honor of Thieves'. There was also a rumour of Axl contributing a lengthy article to Rolling Stone magazine some time ago, but pulling out at the last minute. It is unclear whether these are the same document, or separate entities.Good memory bro, do you have any idea where the complete list of that MSL post was? Even if just for fun, I'd love to read it again.Found it.http://www.metalsludge.tv/home/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2210&Itemid=42Thanks a lot for digging that up, really cool of you. Now that were almost a year past , any of these document titles mean any more to us now then they did when we first heard them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzi your illusion Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 especially the parts about Axl wanting to fire DJ, that seems the most unlikely seeing as how tight those two are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Brings up the old moral dilemma again about reading other people's private emails, but obviously it would be fascinating to read all the various stuff Axl had written about VR and the old band, being late, Azoff, etc. I would love to read The Honor of Thieves, the behind the scenes stuff regarding Duff, Finck's resignation letter, and I am still curious as to what the hell the Dr. Dre thing is about.

uzi your illusion Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yea the only thing I can even guess the Dre thing about would be something to do with his long delayed album "Detox". Maybe there were preliminary talks between the two camps to cross promote each others efforts because of similar hype and anticipation, then Dre pulled out?

Here's a guy who blows his millions- but does so creatively.What good is money if you can't enjoy it?I think Axl should enjoy the money he's made over all these years. He's spending enough money on late fees and suing people, he should take time to actually do something he loves with it.Who will he leave it to when he dies, so enjoy it while he's alive and well to have fun!I really wish he would put it out.I think it would change alot of peoplesAttitude toward him if he did.Because what info is out there certainly places the majorityOf the blame on him. Not to say it would erase all of the blame but it would defGive people an idea what it's like in his head and what he was thinking.Yeah I agree. Axl does get the blame for everything that went on with the original members. One person can't be responsible for everyone.I think Axl needs to get himself a good writer to write everything he wants to say down and make it an awesome autobiography. It would be interesting to read and see how it compares to the other members' books.I don't usually read true story books, but Axl's I would definitely buy.
