Estranged Reality Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Axl called me to tell me what happened but I never talked to Slash about it.I don't want to push this too much but you seem pretty candid about everything so far, so I'm just curious if you could go into more detail on Axl's recollection of it. I'm just interested in knowing how he perceived it, or any details we don't know. All we really know is he showed up drunk and Beta turned him away. Did Axl actually talk to him at all?

TheSeeker Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Was he calling you because he was upset about Slash trying to come over? Did he want you to relay some kind of message back to Slash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 He said the same thing that he told the press which you guys already know. No he didn't talk to Slash that night. I think he should have come out and told Slash what his thoughts are but I don't know if he even knew Slash was there until after Beta sent them away. Face to face is always the best way to talk to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooker Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hey Marc, do you believe Slash said what was reported to have been said. Or do you think it's more Axl being fed what someone wants him to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 The point is, Slash made an attempt to talk to Axl, drunk or not, and it was Beta who turned him away.I think the question is, was it Axl who told her to have him leave, or did Beta do it on her own based on prior conversations with Axl.

recklessroad Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) I don't think it was such a big deal that Slash came over. The problem is Axl doesn't want slash to come over, he wants Slash to hold a press conference and tell the world that he was wrong about everything and that it was all his own fault for the split and that he lied about everything. Slash has a different point of view so therefor that will never happen. However Slash was trying to work out a lawsuit that was going on between them, the only 2 mistakes were, he was drunk and had Perla with him. He did write Axl a small note that said lets work this out or something like that. Also I know Slash would have never gone over there. Perla made him go.

wfuckinga Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Why won't Slash do it for the sake of ending the feud? Is it his ego? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I think it's a bit much to expect Slash to say everything was his fault ego or not. I'm more of an Axl fan than a Slash fan but no way was it all Slash's fault. Everyone in the band including lawyers and management had some culpability. It would be reasonable for him to shoulder some of the blame but not everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitch_77 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Why won't Slash do it for the sake of ending the feud? Is it his ego?He already admitted on national tv (on Letterman) that he contributed to the negativity surrounding the whole thing because he was bitter about the breakup, and frankly I never heard anything from his mouth that justifies years and years of hard feelings. I don't think it's about ego at all, it's just that from his point of view there's no need for such an excuse, and I understand him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk1 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I think they both should have a press conference and apologize for things they did wrong. Neither one is innocent nor is only one responsible for the demise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Perla drove him up there because she was tired of hearing about Slash complaining about Axl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass is always greener etc...maybe Scott at his worst suddenly made Axl seem less difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariablue Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Perla has always been a huge GNR fan. She said a few years ago that she thought it was Slash's best stuff. Makes sense she would want to see them make up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense she would want to see them make up.Plus the payout would be huge for the guys, and that would give Perla a lot more $$$ to spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooker Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I believe there is still some interesting details of this story that would shed some amazing light on the Slash/Axl Relationship. These two guys want each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
