Asia Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Marc, you said that back at the time Slash was very ill with his heart Axl was truely concerned. Did it ever cross his mind at that time to visit him or call him at least? Do you know anything about it?Anyway, shame it didn't happen. Quite often conflicts get resolved in such situations....

recklessroad Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 It like your ex is having heart problems, even though you don't like them anymore, you still may be concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) It like your ex is having heart problems, even though you don't like them anymore, you still may be concerned.I can understand that perfectly well. I can personally think of cases where it would be the case.What I was asking was if it didn't cross Axl's mind to try and make contact with Slash at that time. You know a sort of "fuck the whole war, I wanna see and hear how he's doing" thing. I can imagine he probably didn't make contact with him in the end but has he considered smth like that?You know, many times conflicts between people got resolved or at least weakened in moments of serious illness or other misfortunes. Because you may think it might be your last chance to talk to someone so you use the ocasion regardless of the circumstances and then once that person gets better it would be stupid to jump back to the non-speaking phase so you stay in contact and have an opportunity to explain many things. Too bad it didn't happen like that.By the way do you think Axl's offer to have Slash working on some CD tracks at around that time might have something to do with that?

I do think it'll happen but it'll be in private, and coming from a genuine place, not a photo op, or because that's what the fans want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think Axl will ever want to "mend fences" with Slash one day? And what makes you think (After all the crap Axl/Brazil has flung) that Slash would even want to talk to Axl?

I'm not saying anything would be forgiven or forgotten, but they're always going to have the connection to the band and 10 years of mostly good memories over the bad.He probably did consider talking to Slash over the years, but he hasn't heard a good reason why he should.
