I'm really excited for the conclusion of this. This will be better than getting CD2.

HA! The sarcasm fairy has been to visit you

[drtydane]

Who cares

[sleeper]

When Axl wins i'll be laughing at all the blind supporters of a certain guitar player.

Why exactly would you being doing that?

Cuz you're THAT petty eh?

[sleeper]

This certain guitar player should be helping Axl win this case since he "had nothing to do with it"

If Activision is at fault 100% then he should do the right thing and join Axl

He is doing the right thing and that is staying out of it. This is a battle between Axl and the GH people.

Come on say thre truth....there is no $$$ for him in this case. Helping an old friend is too much to ask for.

So he is randomly obligated to help out someone he hasn't talked to since the late 90's in a lawsuit that really doesn't directly involve him? I mean there is a chance Slash doesn't even know to what extent this lawsuit has gone to or what it truly is about. I get that you aren't the biggest Slash fan and that's cool, but it really seems like you are grasping at sraws with things to damn the man for

[vaida]

I want to hear the outcome too. I hope it goes one way of the other, without some half way deal being reached.

I thought DJ was the one with the bling bling hat.

[Chris 55]

I don't buy that BS that he knew nothing about it anyway....he's a snake in the grass

What are you basing this on?

If Axl told him "hey we'll go 50/50" he would show up with his bling bling hat.

Slash doesn't need a cash grab tour to promote a failure.

It has nothing to do with Slash. It has to do with Activision lying about Slash being in the game. Everything else is just speculation on your part because you hate the man. Slash has no reason to get his hands dirty in this one. He did nothing wrong, and he's doing the right thing not getting involved in something he has nothing to do with.

exactly, not his fight in the least.

[moreblack]

He even named his son Ca$h Poor kid don't deserve that shit

what? you assuming stuff without knowing the real story? never....

He always needs a "cash grab"

Failure? Nice try millions of people would disagree with you. Feel stupid now?

Hahahaha, what a stupid person you are bro, get a fuckin' life.

Damn this Slash bashing got old. You don't like the guy that you've never met and only have to go on Axl's bashing of him and media stories. Is it even THAT big a deal you have to keep harping on it all the time?

Hope Cash has good handwriting,a mixup of a "C" and a " G" could prove embarassing.

Can we have a civil conversation regarding of how much slash is/was aware of this lawsuit and/or his participation?

[Flayer]

Civil conversations are cool!

Exactly, there is no need to go off on Slash and keep on bashing him. Actually Slash was not even mentioned in the OP anyway

Exactly, there is no need to say things like "He always needs a "cash grab", etc. Actually Slash was not even mentioned in the OP, the 4th post is where the train left the station

Yes,there are "key words" that seem to work like a pavlovian experiment,they cause a reaction in people.

I would honestly like to know how much slash knew about it beforehand,he can't have been in the dark entirely,he even did a tv spot advertising the damn game.

I am not sure, but there certainty is not enough concrete evidence in the public domain for anyone to claim Slash's involvement or knowledge of the issue

I am curious as to what the original contracts said, IMO the way contracts are worded are just as vital to a deal as the deal itself. A poorly written contract (or well written, depending on who's side you are on) can make a difference because there are always loopholes, things that are not clarified enough, etc. It definitely is entirely possible for Slash to have no knowledge of Axl's requests until well after he collaborated with Activision on the game

Of course there is no telling who did or didn't know of the deal

Short profile on Axl's lawyer... interesting he went up against Azoff once before.

Even knowing what the contracts did or didn't specify,there is no way of knowing how much an individual knew,chose to ignore,or decided to deny knowledge.

I'm quite sure he has been aware for some time now,and was advised not to address the matter.
