Did Axl have a PA named Jackamo?

[rocknroll41]

Idk if this is the right section but whatever.

So yesterday I went out to a Halloween party and on my way back home I was pretty drunk and I saw a guy dressed as Slash and I was like "What up, Slash!" and him and his friends cheered in applause. It felt so good that I was hoping I'd see another Slash...and then I did and this version was with Axl. So I went up to Axl and I was like "Dude, you need to get your shit together and call Slash!" and he said with a straight face "Not gonna happen."

Then another costumer showed up and Axl was like "this is Steven Adler" and then he pointed to a guy down the road and said "that's Izzy Stradlin" and me being my drunk self, I started running down the road screaming "IIIIIZZZZZYYYY!!!!" and Iz ran up to me and we met mid point and embraced. Then I was like "Izzy, you wrote all the songs!" and he was like "Thanks! It's nice to get some recognition for once" and then I said "Dude, you shouldn't of quit the band in '91. That was the beginning of the end!" and he said (out of character) "Yeah, well, we're just trying to keep the spirit alive that was around before the break-up."

So the point of this story of getting to meet people dressed as my favorite band while I was drunk leads to me getting back home and bumping into a random dude and telling him "Dude, I saw some guys dressed as the original members of Guns N' Roses" and he goes "Cool, one of my high school teachers used to be Axl Rose's personal assistant. His name is Jackamo."

I googled "axl rose jackamo" and didn't find shit. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Was this kid just bullshitting?

Jackamo should be anointed an honorary moderator status here

I wish Jackamo had been PA, things would have been ludicrously entertaining.

Jackamo helped run the official Chris Pitman fansite for Axl.

I think we all wish we had a Jackamo to help us through some of the tough situations this life puts us in, don't we?

Jackamo helped run the official Chris Pitman fansite for Axl.

Some say he's still around. Once in a while when a cold wind blows you can hear his name riding on the breeze, sensuous and sultry.

[CoolRanchDressing]

Maybe the mods could secure an official mygnr interview with jackamo

[ManetsBR]

I heard that Jackamo has Silkworms. Seriously. And also heard he's the one that released the first Silkworms fake.

You are correct that he has the real one.

Some? Or his profile?

Actually, I'd love to get the old Eat My Silkworms story out there. If HRS was still around, we could interview them both.

HRS got into a party and got Axl to actually hold a sign up saying "Eat My Silkworms" on it.

Good times, good times. If either of 'em are around or reading this; Hi guys.

You do know that CoolRanchDressing is HRS, right?

Sort of funny to see you talk to him about interviewing him.

[Facekicker]

I'm pretty sure HV knows...right...RIGHT...

[Estranged Reality]

Me and adnan were also a little involved with the Eat My Silkworms fansite. Haven't spoken to adnan in ages; he posts on IMDb a lot, now.

Jackamo and HRS secured most of the interviews and stuff, though. HRS just basically walked right into a post-party and got to meet all those guys. I remember him saying Axl's girlfriend (probably Sasha?) said the remixed Silkworms was her favourite track on the entire album, and Axl was drunkenly rambling about how Buckethead did "amazing" stuff on it, but...then it didn't even wind up on there.

Not sure if this is public knowledge but after HRS posted those photos of Axl holding the sign, HRS said Axl had his lawyers shut down the fansite (it was hosted on one of those free hosting sites, so obviously they're more likely to remove content than an actual paid web host) AND shut down the MySpace page.

It just disappeared one day. Was kind of a bummer because we lost all our interviews and content. We had interviews with the keyboardist from Faith No More and the porn star daughter of David Lee Roth. I remember either adnan or Jackamo contacted her and she actually responded and gave her mobile phone number and said we could text or call her with questions.

I wrote an essay on Silkworms exploring the mesmerizing lyrical prowess of the song and I'm pretty sure it's gone forever.

[Facekicker]

I wonder on what basis did he get the site shut down?

Hahaha. Actually Axl's lawyer shutting us down wasn't related to the Axl pic at the party. After interviewing Merck and the people at Geffen, I wanted to interview Axl's lawyer. This was during one of the silly nuisance lawsuits they were filing against godknowswho. I thought it would be amusing to interview Axl's team about their hotly anticipated unreleased next lawsuit, goofing on their unreleased album.

The lawyer guy recognized my voice immediately and got all pissed off, yelling about how it was against the law to record his voice. I made fun of him and he made fun of me and after a while I pointed out how he could have just hung up 20 minutes ago, so either his job was miserably boring or he actually had fun talking to me. He said it was both, and strangely enough, we kinda hit it off. we agreed to meet up that night at a bar in Hollywood and continue taking about Axl. We actually got kinda chummy on the phone. But later, I ended up getting the bar we were going to meet at mixed up with another bar. So he thought I no showed and was trying to fuck with him and embarrass him by standing him up.

When I got home, he'd left me some angry message and posted all over EMS's chat box about how we were losers and assholes and by morning he'd taken all our stuff down. So it actually had nothing to do with Axl and everything to do with the various soulless corporate attorneys who make a living suing people in his name.

Wow

[themadcaplaughs]

In complete seriousness, the might be more interesting than anything that has happened in Guns N' Roses for the last 5 years.

interesting to hear the full story.

i figured it wasn't axl directly but you never know.

btw, i don't at all want to drag this into an off-topic "old forum reminiscing" thing, but there are a lot of people who try to claim we still censor here and blah blah blah. especially lately there's been some wild accusations.

i just want to point out to some of the newer forum members who may not remember the EMS days, the website, even the phrase "Eat My Silkworms" was completely banned from the forum because the goofiness and subversiveness of the humour didn't sit well with certain people. That, plus adnan spammed the URL a few times too many. But literally every reference to the site was blocked, it wasn't allowed to be talked about or linked to, and people were suspended and banned over it. That was the sort of selective, um, not censorship per se, but restrictions that used to happen that I have to remind people of from time to time when they try to make it out like we're some kind of dictatorship here. I think we're way more open to stuff like EMS than five years ago or so. I love MyGNR and I'm not speaking ill of anyone involved with the site years ago, I started here as a poster back then and there's a reason I stayed, but sometimes people look at the past with rose-colored glasses or whatever the expression is.

EMS was a lot of fun though, Jackamo and HRS are two insanely funny guys and also very talented creatively.

HRS, you should post your old Pitman bluegrass tunes here. I'm sure a lot of people haven't heard them. The Mother Goose Pickers, right?
