SoulMonster Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I don't see a problem with this, let the dude talk about what he wants to talk about.Absolutely. It's been ages since he quit GN'R and he's got lots on his plate. Just because some insane fans haven't accepted his decision back in the mid 90s doesn't mean he has to keep talking about it so many years later. Let him talk about his new record, why he hasn't quit VR yet, what's up with that Bob Irwin foundation and so on. He has moved on, so should the fans.

tippin Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Look...we all know they were better together than they are apart, but times and relationships change, and that's life..GNR (old school) were a great moment in history, but progress and changes happen...deal with it..

Dariablue Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Perhaps he finally realized in all these interviews what he says just pisses off axl more, he's probably tired of the same questions as well.I think the ball is in his court in terms of getting ahold of axl and patching things up though. That's probably the only way anything will ever happen.Why do you assume that Axl's reaction has anything to do with this? You mean apologizing to Axl for all things real and/or imagined?

dalsh327 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 They havent talked (as far as we know) in what....15-18 years? Good for Slash for saying "don't bring up Axl". Slash should almost have one final Axl QnA session- blow off all the steam, let it all out and be done. Address Axl's cancer comments (on the heals of Slash' moms cancer death) and all the other shots. Address his thoughts of Nu Guns, Axl's weight, CD, everything. Then take a couple final shots, spill some serious dirt and be done with Axl.Slash would've burned bridges with Axl in the book, but people thought David Lee Roth did the same with Van Halen, and they still reunited. I don't think there was anything damning about Axl in there, and Axl saying it was a bunch of lies was before the book was out. Slash will prob. talk about the past, but he wants the 'are you guys going to reunite' questions to end, or old war stories that were already written about. It's up to Axl to contact Slash, if he wants to have a "clearing the air" meeting, or just have dinner one night to reconnect. I think they should just meet up in private, and see how it goes. And I know Slash wouldn't be going to the press about it, if anything, Axl would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be the other way around. And if it never happens, so be it. I just think it'll be in private if and when it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER PT Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Slash don't want to talk about a reunion because he finally realized (in last April) the consequences of the free decision he made 15 years ago ... better late than never ... well, it is time for some fans also face this reality.

I believe some fans need closure....I don't think anyone can seriously say Axl has moved on from his issues with Slash, by accounts from others and judging from his statements he definitely hasn't. Usually people need some kind of closure when they are that bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually people need some kind of closure when they are that bitter.Axl dislikes Slash. No one denies that. But that doesn't mean he needs some "closure" or "to make up" or any of those other kindergarden concepts. There is nothing wrong in disliking someone.

Guest RonMexico82 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 For the best part of a decade Slash kept Axls name in the media because he answered questions about him all the time. I don't see why he should continue doing that. If Axl wants to fade into obscurity and only get a mention as the punchline in a joke then so be it. I don't see why Slash should waste any more energy discussing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PITBOSS Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Perhaps he finally realized in all these interviews what he says just pisses off axl more, he's probably tired of the same questions as well.I think the ball is in his court in terms of getting ahold of axl and patching things up though. That's probably the only way anything will ever happen.Why do you assume that Axl's reaction has anything to do with this? You mean apologizing to Axl for all things real and/or imagined?I was just speculating, most likely he's sick of the same old questions. I suppose they both have apologizing to do, but Axl will never contact Slash and i think Axl left the ball to Slash's court in his HOF letter.

He talked about Slash with Kurt in 1999, with Trunk in 2006 and with Trunk in 2011. He refused to talk about "reunion" which is understandable.
