Guest NGOG Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Axl doesn't want the hassle of an industry manager. An industry manager will badger him about a new record and keeping a good public image. With Team Brazil he can regularly go on holiday with them (touring), have something he's always yearned for (which is a family) and then go home again and forget everything for a while.Team Brazil facilitate that. The reason they are so willing to allow Axl to do as wishes, without regard for the GNR brand, is because what would they be otherwise? Do you think in the unlikely event of Axl firing them they'd be taking calls from people like Lars Ulrich with offers?Fernando and co get to live the 'American dream' lifestyle and Axl gets to live the Axl lifestyle (which is comprised by enjoying his lavish pad, spending his money and occasionally touring). GNR has become almost like a hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naupis Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 What's he been up to?Still mooching off Axl just like Team Brazil, Jarmo and the rest of the Beggars and Hangers on in Axl's life.Who'd have ever thought that song Slash wrote would effectively become the theme song to Axl's life almost 20 years later.No wonder he didn't want any part of it. Hit far too close to home I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was where Slash called Duff spineless and said VR wasn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
