Axl and Dj Backstage Story

[Damn_Smooth]

Also GN'R ringtones were Slash's idea. GN'R ringtones in 1990-1994?

Yup, that was the stopper for me.

really?

I don't think you understood that part.

I don't think it's real, but obviously this is about a GNR Music thing that they all had to agree to that Slash went after.

That would be fine, but the phones in late 80s early 90s weren't sporting ringtones yet or even the concept to my early recollection.

It was this last tour that Axl allegedly heard the ringtone on her phone and told the story.

DUDE.

I'm not talking about the 80's or 90's.

I'm talking about now.

GNR Music - Slash, Duff, Axl, - each have to agree on licensing and uses of their music and recordings. You know how GNR songs were in the guitar hero games? They all had to sign off on that. Not just Axl. At some point in the last few years Slash wanted to allow GNR songs as ring tones. So he told the GNR Music partners - through reps, I'm sure - that they should agree and sign off on these license deals because it would make money. Eventually they agreed. GNR Music - in the 2000's and today - still have mutual business interests, and have in the past, acted together (suing over Greatest Hits). They might not have talked but they probably worked through intermediaries. GNR music in movies? GNR Music has to sign off on that. In fact Slash and Duff at one point sued (for one reason) because Axl was costing them money by not agreeing to as many lucrative music use deals they would

Example:

2004-

Slash reads something about ring tones using real songs.

Slash asks his lawer/manager/agent to figure out how to get a deal.

Slash has his rep forward the deal details to GNR Music partners Axl and Duff.

Duff: uh, okay. ->Duff's rep says 'okay'

Axl: ...really? this seems stupid. ->Axl's rep says 'Not convinced this is worthwhile blah blah blah'

Slash: no, it's a good idea, everyone's doing it, come on, do it. you fucked up all these other things with these movies ->Slash's rep says 'it's good idea, here's what it would mean, here's why it's good, partners are not happy of your continued refusals'

Axl: okay, fine. -> Axl's rep says 'Okay, fine'

Contracts sent and signed.

First check is cashed. Everyone happy. Axl buys a painting. Slash buys a snake. Duff goes to GuitarCenter.

You're right. Read it again.

Still think it's fake, but would have been awesome if true.

And it's DUDETTE to you sir.

A bucket of the purest spring water becomes polluted when a tiny particle of shit is floating in it,I would'nt drink it.

A story with a few elements of truth becomes polluted when someone adds erroneous facts and fabrications,ergo- a half truth is still a lie.

This is bullshit plain and simple,Damn shame people have such empty lives they have to resort to tactics like this.

[AxlRose14]

Well, I think Axl lived at Slash's grandma's place for a while in his late teens and I read they used to write songs (or bits and pieces of songs) there every now and then. Maybe it doesn't mean they were literally jumping on a bed, but there could be some truth to that part.

Plus she may have been exaggerating..Slash and Axl met and started working together in what, late teens early twenties right?? Some consider that young like ''kids'' I think this story is possible..

Yeah. I'm pretty sure this happened.

Maybe, but Axl chaste and a non drinker, come on! If it's true he was probably playing her to get in her pants.

Axl cracks jokes all the time.. I'm sure he did it to be witty and funny. Plus, maybe he did try to get in their pants..

You don't pick up chicks by telling them theyre attractive. You normally bust their balls and get them laughing and comfortable with you, rockstar or not.

somewhat believable until the radio played Slash's "By the Sword"

Slash never gets any radio play, much less happened to be on the radio when this girl is with Axl Rose

Wrong. 95x in syracuse, ny plays you're a lie on a regular basis.

I know that Andrei escorted the VIP's / models ect on the UK tour.

This story isn't out to hate on the band, just sounds like an excited girl telling her story.

I bet some of it is twisted, like the length of time through being star struck. Perhaps Slash came up in conversation as he was playing the festival also??? There's loads of axl with girls after a show so it makes it believable, dunno about the tour bus but hey, at the end of the day the story is Axl and DJ ashba spoke to some girls. WOW. Shock, horror.

The story would make headlines because it mentions Axl speaking highly of Slash. I don't know Axl personally but I do believe deep down he does love Slash still like a brother. Otherwise why would he be so passionate and intense with all of his ''hate'' for him?!

I think some parts might be exaggerated or fabricated but this story could be true..

Not sure if true or not, but Axl going down memory lane is a little believable, especially after him talking about Slash pissing his pants and stealing his girls, lol.

Great point. Why did Axl talk about Slash and laugh/smile? Maybe he was off his meds or Beta (mommy) wasn't around? That is odd.....

You know damn well he said that because that interview was RIGHT AFTER Chinese was released...even acknowledging a simple respect for Slash would have hurt nuGNR and he would have been bombarded by reunion rumors. Same reason he didn't go to the hall of fame ceremony. Second, why would Axl say such a nasty thing anyways?? You don't call people you don't care for cancers...notice Axl has NEVER TO THIS DAY, said that about Vince Neil! He cared for Slash like a brother and felt betrayed..getting close to someone and feeling betrayed, you normally hate that person more than someone you don't know who pisses you off. Axl probably felt hurt, betrayed, used etc.

Plus, Slash has never been shy of ripping Axl over the years to gain personal spotlight and continue to hurt Axl's rep..He's a smart guy, he knew damn well Axl wouldn't respond publicly. A lot of that was frustration from Axl over the years, built up from lack of response.

I rest my case...

ANOTHER good point. I blame Beta more than anything because she enables Axl. What if she wasn't at Axl's house when Slash dropped by a few years back??

Makes me wonder..

People like to make fun that it was "5 AM and Slash was drunk". Ohhh no, not that (drunk)). We all know Axl shuns booze. And 5AM- isn't Axl a night owl.....wasn't the Eddie Trunk interview (as lame as it was) at like 5AMish? Beta needs to back off.......or 'Back Off Bitch".

Beta was there, you can see her in the background at the end following him out & I think at the bar while he was telling the story.

No she wasn't - what can you possibly have against her to make you so bitter? She's obviously done or said something to you personally for you to speak so lowly of her

I think some parts might be exaggerated or fabricated but this story could be true..

LOL come on. Does this mean the reunion starts soon?

Cripes. This is the problem with utter fabrication, especially when it comes to GNR fans. They'll believe anything they want to believe, even when they admit to stories possibly being exaggerated. If you seriously believe that Axl and Slash were jumping on a bed together and that "kids" in this story's context is meant to refer to twenty-year olds, then you're just trying to believe what you want.

Oh, but one of Slash's songs just happened to come on the radio and Axl wanted to hear it? Gee, what a coincidence. Never happened.

I know you don't want to see it, but stop trying to make truths out of such a baloney story. Axl called Slash a "cancer" and you think that because CD had recently been released, that Axl didn't actually mean that? Like he was trying to look like a big protector of the new GNR lineup? Axl didn't want the media to think that he had any favourable feelings toward Slash? Sheesh. Pass me some of what you're having, please.

It is painful to see anyone believe these kinds of bullshit stories, hoping for some kind of Axl transformation. As if he's going to just come out of that tour bus at 7AM and say, "You know something guys... those ladies we brought into our tour bus really made me realize how much I love Slash and want to make things right."

Seriously... painful to watch.

[Dead Flower]

i believe this story.

[Patience 4 Axl]

Totally believable story. Some of it may have gotten lost in her translation and language barrier, but she is definitely NOT the first person to mention that Axl goes on about Slash when they've meet him. There's no reason at all to think it's fake, considering that one fact alone.

C'mon, jumping on the bed?? Then what did they do.......pour sprinkles on sugar cookies that came out of Slash's Easy-Bake-Oven?

[rock4eva]

Just what year was this supposed to have happened? I just read the whole article & admit it sounds believable but would be interested to hear from these other girls who were also present at the time.

It is hard to believe however that he said he goes to mass, is chaste & doesn't drink any more - unless that was said in jest. Really there is nothing said that we don't already know & any one of us could make up a believable story based on past interviews, press stories etc.

[Carburetta]

I haven't read anything to suggest that this event did not happen. It's basically girl meets and talks to band backstage.

The contentious points, Axl and Slash jumping on bed in childhood have been discussed and I am satisfied with the explanation. Maybe a slight coincidence that By the sword came on the radio, my only question would be why are a large group of people (rock stars) listening to a foreign radio station all the way through the night? Do people do this?

[Chris 55]

Also GN'R ringtones were Slash's idea. GN'R ringtones in 1990-1994?

Ringtones for what? Those walkie talkie cell phones they had back then?

I don't think Slash suggested it back then. I think he suggested that in more recent years for the old songs IF this story were to be true.

So management is bringing girls to the tour bus so Axl can tell them stories about Slash? Seriously?

[Nosaj Thing]

So management is bringing girls to the tour bus so Axl can tell them stories about Slash? Seriously?

Axl talks about Slash all the time. He even discussed Slash in the interview with Trunk, Slash here, Slash there, this Slash, not Slash, when Slash, so Slash. It's not bad at all. They were more than friends at some point.
