The Linguini Occurrence Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Based on his tweets it appears Fernando is clearly into Astrology, how about Beta and others in the camp? Has Axl ever talked about a belief in Astrology? Could it be possible that some of the things he has done (or not done) were the result of a belief in Astrology? I'm just trying to gauge how much of an impact, if any, it has on the band and Axl in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did all kinds of whacky things in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posing Rose Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 In the 90s YODA was his personal assistant for spirits, astrology and so on. Her real name is Sharon Maynard or so. She died a couple years ago and was credited on the special thanks list of the UYI albums.I think her business is now operated by /jarmo, but im not sure...

Eu4ic Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I dont read horoscopes but I like astrology and find it useful and mostly accurate. Case in point: Axl is definitely a Pisces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisRoyalSweetness Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 if axl has trusted astrology to guide his career, then we can only assume that the stars are biased fans of $lash who are trying to destroy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisRoyalSweetness Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 yeah, at a certain point in axl's career, there was probably way more short term money for quacks like yoda and suzzy miniskirt to make in dividing slash and axl. but now there's a bigger long term score in getting them together. shame the damage is already done. i don't think anyone, not even a guru who names themselves after a star wars character, can undo the damage. i mean, like marc cantor said, axl literally believes slash is the devil. i don't think it's easy as finding some old asian woman who calls herself obi wan to tell him slash is only a human. axl's dug himself a pretty deep psychological hole. i don't think light will ever reach him again.

Both Slash and Axl seem to be doing fine. They are not best friends forever any more, just get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisRoyalSweetness Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 don't get me wrong, soul monster. i don't want them to reunite. i want the hall of fame line-up to stay as far away from contemporary joke axl as possible. i used to want them to reunite, but these days i think i have too much respect for both the band and my childhood memories of them.i'm just having a laugh at axl's crazy new age sedona magic crystal reincarnation quacks.

And who knows what Gilby and Matt are up to. That being said, both Izzy and Duff will probably feature on GN'R future shows, which are cool.

Wonder if VR is DOA?Am I the only one that doesn't care what Gilby and Baron von storm are doing?I was a bit imprecise. I do care about what Gilby and Matt are doing, it is just that the aren't doing anything interesting at all. Gilby is a stand out guy, though.As for Duff and Slash, I do feel a bit sorry for Duff for being abandoned by Slash again. Slash has a tendency to jump ship when things get complicated just to focus on his own selfish solo pursuits, and he has done this twice to Duff now.

Cosmo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Astrology is bullshit. I think Fernando's tweets are a sort of internal joke between him and friends but I'm not sure. I do think Axl might actually believe in this shit since he's ao damn crazy. Sucks if he did though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff abandoned Janes Addiction halfway through the sessions because he wanted to be back in Seattle, it was a "no hard feelings" thing, and Duff left them with 4 songs. Duff and Dave will see each other for the occasional Camp Freddy gig. Highly doubt VR will reunite for more than one show here and there, and maybe record a song or two. It's going to be a "once in a great while" thing, but I don't see why Slash wouldn't guest on a STP song or at a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick83 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Astrology is very real and almost scientific in its approach. It is probably the best tool available to understand yourself or others. Those who say it's bullshit should really go research the topic before throwing your opinion out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
