Russel Nash 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.Yes, Slash should use the energy to release great records as "Slash" and "Apocalyptic Love" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaida Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Slash must be tired / bored by those questions by now. I think he is happy in the fact knowing he worked with the band GN'R that had the most success and created the best songs. Since that time he has gone on to work with many artists, and release many tunes. As time moves forward, GN'R grows forever smaller. It must almost seem odd to be asked about a lead singer he has not spoke to for so many years.When Axl refuses to discuss Slash : OMG WHAT AN ASSHOLE !When Slash refuses to discuss Axl : GOOD FOR HIM !Truth : they both suck ass now.Axl's voice has gone down the pan somewhat agreed.Slash is still making and releasing music, and his guitar work is still on form. I own all the Slash records bar the VR stuff (as I don't like Scott's voice) and they are all great. Edited August 23, 2012 by vaida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 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.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.I don't think it's just dislike, it seems closer to an obsession. From what Canter says, to what that guy said about his conversation with him and Steven Tyler, and from Axl's chats and statements, it seems to go farther. No one needs to make up but it's better to confront issues like that than avoiding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he might be obsessed with Slash, he might just dislike him, he might even be okay with him, I don't know and I don't care. Going as far as to claim he needs some reconciliation or closure is puuure speculation and something I won't lower myself to. We don't know his current quality of life today nor what it would be if he became BFF again with Slash. To me it seems that most fans care deeply about this issue out of pure selfish reasons (reunion) or some naive belief that everybody needs to be friends.

Ali Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 When Axl refuses to discuss Slash : OMG WHAT AN ASSHOLE !When Slash refuses to discuss Axl : GOOD FOR HIM !Truth : they both suck ass now.I would say they both are doing well now. Slash just released a strong album and GN'R played an amazing show when I saw them late last year.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of speculation about these things myself. I only said that it seems that imo Axl would not intiiate contact with Slash, and that one of them may want closure and that Axl seems to still be very upset about it.

Proof: the same crowd in Hellfest and Gods of Metal was bored as fuck with the CD songs while ultra-excited at the new Slash songs. I was there, saw it with my own eyes.

Different music brings out different emotions in people, some music you have to take time with. By the way, no matter what the lyrics on Anastasia are lame as fuck and don't touch anything done by Axl ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) This will only last until Slash is releasing another record he needs to promote. Then he will talk about GN'R and Axl again. He had the hall of fame induction to promote his latest album. Edited August 24, 2012 by Jeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only want controversy and headlines.Howard is the exception. If Axl was going on the show, it's because he'd be going in knowing Howard's going to ask uncomfortable questions for him to answer. That's the nature of the show, under the guise of comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
