One.In.A.Million Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Who cares, they are talking about Axl, any press is good for the upcoming tour dates. Various media outlets have always made up bullshit stories, just to give people the typical "Axl is crazy" line crap.I used to care, but now I don't because at least people are talking and are interested in Axl and GN'R, negative or positive, who cares?... press is press.

RichardNixon Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 That article wasn't all that insulting or personal. Axl didn't call Weiland "spineless," btw. Axl reported that is what Slash said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiedHands Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Another anti-Axl piece that makes no sense. They spend 17 bullet points bashing the guy (is there really a HUGE difference between "dreads" and "corn rows"? they used two different points for that?) But then of course, after mocking the guy, they beg him to get back with the old guys. You can't cuss and harass the guy and then get on your knees pleading with him for a reunion. I'll never understand this. All of these people bash Axl making fun of his hair, his weight, his clothes, his "plastic surgery", his weirdness, his tardiness, his disrespect for the fans, talking about how he can't sing anymore, but then they whine and cry because he won't go back to Slash. If you hate the guy that much, why??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flayer Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) 18 Reasons Priya Elan is an Incompetent Dick Who Wrote a Shitty ArticleYou may know Priya Elan as the...well...you probably don't know him. That's about all the introduction he deserves.18. His 'attitude'Priya Elan has no dick. He's a pussy that would lose a fight to a softcover copy of Twilight. He has a whiny, wannabe sarcastic cool guy style that goes over about as well as hiring a Muhammad impersonator to do your bar mitzvah in the Gaza Strip. He bitches. That's all. Look at the list of things he's chosen to present Axl Rose as the biggest douchebag of them all: he's insulted other rock bands. He's insulted rock critics. He's dressed badly and worn his hair in unflattering styles. He's a womanizer! [sharp intake of breath!] Imagine the nerve of that, a rock star who sleeps around. He hates poodles? This is the shit that will keep me up at night.17. He overuses the suffix -gateTommy Hilfiger-gateBob Guccione Jr.-gateMetallica-gateVelvet Revolver-gateNirvana-gateHoly fuck, how about this one:Prya Elan couldn't think of a real headline-gate.16. He doesn't get rockPriya Elan tries to convince you the that a guy is the poster boy for douchebags in rock by quoting him as saying "When the going get tough, the tough get an Uzi." Listen, space alien, here on Earth we have a concept called 'badass,' and generally idolize it in these people called 'rock stars.' 15. He's lazy as fuckHe tosses in about one sentence of elaboration for each entry and doesn't even get a picture for all of them. Those that do get a picture are mostly unrelated to the entry. The number of fucks Priya Elan did not give about this article could have reopulated Darfur, if only Priya Elan could do anything right.14. His non-existent sense of humorSetting aside his own boring attempts at witty commentary, Priya Elan apparently has a hard time understanding when someone else is joking. He interprets the statement "I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a Great White or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot," as being Axl's revelation of some seaweed phobia. He also takes "I don't even know my own phone number," at face value. He's either utterly humorless, dumb as fuck, or simply a liar, or some pitiful combination of the three.13. He gets facts wrongThe "Pigeons of Shit Metal" were lambasted as such by Axl after getting a bad reception from the audience they opened for, not for showing up to rehearsal late. Priya Elan can't even take this entry seriously, as he acknowledges it as "a good insult, to be fair." His heart really wasn't into this at all. Later on, he refers to Duff as "guitarist." Are you fucking serious? Duff was around in the days where it was just five guys on stage, not eight, and yet Priya Elan is still too dumb to keep who played what straight.12. He throws in red herringsPriya Elan will give you a headline that makes you think he's on to one of the bigger stories, but will invariably describe some pissant non-event overshadowed by a better story. His "Metalica-gate" section covers a couple of jabs at each other in the media, ignoring the disastrous co-headlining tour where Axl ditched the show instead of filling in for Metallica when Hetfield was burned. He chooses one of the literally dozens of incidents where Axl told a fan to get the fuck out instead of, you know, that time he actually dived on a guy in the crowd filming the band to beat the shit out of him. He talks about Velvet Revolver insults and leaves out calling Slash a cancer. What the fuck? Priya Elan is gifted with an eye for the insignificant.11. He repeats entriesBecause once again, he's a lazy, incompetent moron who somehow cannot find enough reasons to fill out a list of douchey things Axl Rose has done. One entry on Axl's bad 2000s hairstyles is enough, Priya.10. He doesn't know what a douchebag isThere's supposed to be some overall thesis to this article, right? These 18 entries should all come together to make the reader conclude Axl Rose is indeed the biggest douchebag in rock and roll. Maybe Priya should've reviewed a bit before submitting this piece and realised that what his list adds up to is a guy who freely insults other rock stars, has a few eccenctricities, and doesn't take shit from fans or Tommy Hilfiger. And of course, did not fuflill Priya Elan's personal dreams of showing up at the Hall of Fame and announcing a new album coming up with Slash and Izzy; this is the only reason the article was written; the rest is just half-assed bullshit tossed in. If he were making the case that Axl Rose was a douchebag based on other factors like his past abusive relationships with women, violent assaults on other people, showing up late, not going to his own rehearsals, storming off stage, etc, then you'd present an argument. But this is Priya Elan, and a troop of gorillas ejaculating onto an Etch-a-Sketch could create a more meaningful statement than him.9. He has dumb sideburnsThat just do not go well with his hair.8. He makes Sarah Palin referencesSee #15.7. He repeats entriesAnd it's just so fucking dumb.6. He's5. really 4. stretching 3. to find2. entries, and it's sad1. He misses big shitEnough of the bullshit, this is the real issue. It's fucking pitiful that Priya Elan can set out to find 18 reasons why Axl Rose is the biggest douchebag in the rock world and he can't even come up with a decent list. He should have to be chopping off entries to make it fit, this is fucking Axl Rose, a guy who has throughout his lifetime:- Triggered two riots by storming off stage- Been taken to court for domestic abuse by two women who had relationships with him- Physically assaulted people at his shows- Physically assaulted people outside of his shows- Routinely showed up late to concerts- Fired managers and others left and right- Called Slash a cancer- Said Bon Jovi can suck his dick- Wrote the lyrics to One in a Million- Posted a foaming-at-the-mouth rant at someone who antagonized him on a GNR fan forum- Not shown up at his own band's rehearsals- Brought in his friend to record over Slash's guitar solo without telling anyonePriya Elan has a fucking mountain of potential material to work with to create an entertaining and cohesive article, and yet somehow fails to do that and produces a half-assed piece of garbage, because he is an utterly incompetent and useless columnist.

Guest Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 By the way - here is the email of this incompetent prick: priya_elan@ipcmedia.comMaybe someone could write him something nice...Should send him an email with 18 reasons why he's a journalist.Seriously though this pretty much sums up the attitude of the press towards Axl. It should've been fairly easy to have come up with 18 incidents where Axl doesn't come off looking the great- but half of them are slagging off his hairstyle and his strange phobias. The guy had cornrows- what a doucheThe guy dislikes poodles- mega doucheThe guy is afraid of seaweed- ultimate douche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
