LA_0013 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Axl is probably sat at home thinking 'Dont defend me you CUNT'Piers said the '91 show he attended was (paraphrasing) the most dangerous,amazing show he'd ever seen.Fuckin right! B)Ill bet.Shame. Coz some of the nut-huggers round here weren't even born in '91LA Edited April 20, 2012 by LA_0013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) "The Chuck Norris of Rock and Roll".Not sure what that means but...sounded good! I haven't seen it yet, but I'm guessing that Piers was probably referring to the Missing In Action movies with his Chuck Norris comment.

Was he just kidding?Yes he's English.As much of a twat that he is he's honest and is very good at what he does.He's better than Larry King ever was imo.Really? I gave this guy about two weeks and decided he wasn't my cup of tea. He's got an opinion, but only when the person he's talking about isn't sitting across from him. He's clever in that he lavishes praise upon his interviewee to subdue them when he asks his more "biting" questions, but I've never been a fan in his prodding style. I think the LA Times interview was an example of journalistic perfection. Granted, television is a far more limited medium when it comes to the framing of the interview as it's published, but I loved how Randall Roberts was able to ask smart questions that revealed a lot about Axl. With Pierce Morgan, I've never seen that knack for getting the most out of the person being interviewed. I don't stay this to start the same argument found in many other threads, but what Pierce misses is that the induction was about honoring the music, the artist, and the fans. It wasn't about the individual band members. This is my opinion, one that I'm not going to argue. You feel different, that's great. But I disagree with Morgan when he says the induction is about the individual band members. It's greater than that; it's a celebration of the semiotic relationship between artist, fan and the music. Anyway, I won't responding to any arguments against my opinion here because I'm done debating this. Just stating my opinion, not looking for the same conversation we've been having for over a week.Cheers,Andrew Edited April 20, 2012 by downzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a fucking leechLAHe doesn't need Howard, Ed Trunk, or Piers to defend him, but Axl was expecting a HUGE backlash for being a no-show, and is actually getting the opposite. The show goes out worldwide, so it's good exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
