username Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Axl is trending on yahoo and twitter. His letter is in the Wall Street Journal. Axl is everywhere! He is a master at getting people to talk about him and he's equally a pro at going off-the-grid as we have all witnessed throughout the better part of 18 years. This once again proves that he's still as big as any current celebrity even though he does things on his terms in his own time. I'm no longer disappointed that he won't perform with the old band.There is no hope for you. If you were disappointed and aren't now, that's just silly. Bipolar much? If you think Twitter is in any way an indication to how much of a celeb you are you're insane. The most meaningless shit trends on twitter when it's in the news. If you think this is a great plan of Axl's because now people are talking about him...where do I start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanudo19 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 So, Izzy won't be there. Axl won't be there.They should blow it off, they're not going to induct any founding members now.They're just inducting some hacks or scabs or whatever. Right Steven? true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Izzy probably won't be there, but as far as I know he's not declining being inducted. Axl is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastar Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm sure Axl didn't appreciate guys that haven't been in Guns N' Roses for what.... 15 years? Speaking for Guns N' Roses. Saying stuff like Guns N' Roses wont be playing, and then flipping it and saying Oh I would love to play but it won't happen because of that Axl guy. I'm sure that didn't help the cause.

gunsguy Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 @EddieTrunkWonder if Axl's decision plays a role if Dizzy shows now, since he is the only other current Guns member included in the induction@NickyChips@EddieTrunk don't expect @DizzyReed while a donut expectation exists for Izzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no longer disappointed that he won't perform with the old band.I noticed last night Axl was mentioned in the WSJ, LA Times, USA Today, TMZ EVERYWHERE but most was not positive. I think most of the articles were well written and fair but the responses were not. I respect his decision but I dont understand it. Maybe if we knew more about the past it would be more clear. In the end as a fan it sucks he wont at least be there but VH didnt show either and look what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lines&Noses Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 What a load of utter crap.I'm fine that he does not want to attend, thats one thing. But to whine about "i dont want my name in the hall of fame, dont speak about me" etc. is so damn stupid, sad and irrational. I just do not get it and never will. Axl has always been my hero, and I have always been in his corner when old vs. new GnR battle has been going on, but this is too much for me.Axl Rose: A real "class" act and an "adult".Agreed. I'm primarily a fan of the old band (Acl included of course), and really hoped (rather than expected) that they would play one song or whatever, even as a one off it would really have made my happy.To deny the induction altogether.....? ~What more can I say.All I can do is boycott the new tour in protest, was waiting to see what happened before buying my ticket. I'm sure Axl won't care and many Axlite's will lambast me, but this rollercoster ride just ain't fun any more.I realise many fans have been alienated turned their backs before me but I guess I was just a little dumber than the rest.

wasteofammo Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Axl Rose is the last remaining rock star, at least he didn't sell out or sell his soul he belives in what he's doing, i respect him and support him.I always have agreed with this...I envy this because you never see this anymore.

Are you saying you will deny yourself the entertainment of attending a Guns N' Roses how this summer because Axl and Izzy refuses to attend an award show for past achievements? Doesn't that make you appear a bit stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think this is a great plan of Axl's because now people are talking about him...where do I start.I wouldn't say that I'm bipolar. I was actually considering going. I'm a huge supporter of the current band and Axl's vision. I've seen them live 14 times since 2006 and will go see them again live again the next time I have the opportunity. But as a fan of the Appetite / Illusions line-up, of course i am disappointed that I won't get to see them perform a few songs together. What's more important than the one-off reunion performance, for me, is that Axl and this line-up move forward, as he said that he wants to do - hopefully that includes new music. Axl in the headlines is always, should I say, delightful, for me because it reminds the casual music fans that no matter how good their favorite front man is, there is one sleeping giant out there bigger and more talented, who once ruled the world like a T-Rex. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabia Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Make sure this gets posted in the reunion section.Why? All of the reunionists are already up here whining and crying.Hopefully they will go back to where they came from now that there unrealistic fantasies have been destroyed.Not sure why everyone hates the reunionists. Nothing wrong with them, and there's nothing wrong with dreaming. Not everyone here is wanting a reunion. We just expected our favorite artist to attened the HOF for us.Unattainable dreams are nothing to latch on to. Anyone with a single bit of common sense already knew that this was going to turn out this way.Axl said he didn't want to ruin it for the fans. He gave fans false hope.That's unfair. He did NOT say that he was attending. His not attending is his personal decision. If you were happy that GN'R was being honoured by the RRHOF, that remains as true now as before. Not "ruining" things shouldnt involve being forced into things you dont want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
