DieselDaisy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Erin is Axl's brother? Granted Axl comes from a hick background which may explain the inter-breeding but, christ, Erin's sex operation was successful! Also, Surely that would make Axl a son of one of the Everly Brothers?

SoulMonster Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Aparently Amy isn't very good at math...That I am my takeaway from the Amy quote. I don't get the 10 years part.I think she meant to say something about how the breakup happened more than ten years ago. Just goes to show the importance of grammar and sentence structure.Huh? That is exactly what she wrote. There is nothing with the grammar or structure of the sentence that suggests she meant they broke up 10 years ago. It was sloppy to not be more precise, sure, but it is obvious she meant MORE than 10 years ago.Luckily we have you to tell us what somebody else "meant". Arrogant much?She wrote, and I quote, "over 10 yrs ago". If pointing out that this probably means she meant "more than 10 years ago" makes me arrogant, so be it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Surely that would make Axl a son of one of the Everly Brothers?What is all this hatred for Axl lately? How can a person, who considers himself a 'Guns N' Roses fan', possibly dislike the guy who wrote most of Guns N' Roses's greatest lyrics and did all of their vocals! No Axl? No, SCOM, Jungle, Rocket Queen, Civil War, Locomotive et al. Hypocracy of the highest order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*GNR* Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Not sure if anyone has posted this or not I'm quickly skimming through the posts...but if Axl seriously wanted to avoid any of this getting into the hands of fans/public he has the $$$ to buy it, which yes is ironic and funny because he'd be giving Erin the $$$ but I guess there's a price to pay if you want this stuff to stay as private as possible??? He can either not give a shit about any of it or get whatever the hell he does give a shit about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you guys explain how selling personal things that someone else wrote with no intention of it ever becoming public is in any way similar to keeping something you yourself came up with?

Without derailing the thread, Axl came up with the name but Guns N' Roses would have never been what it was without the collaborative effort of the other guys. When Axl had the opportunity to prove he was GN'R he failed miserably.On topic: I still think Erin can do whatever she wants with the stuff Axl gave to her 25 years ago.

That's not taking anything away from what they accomplished together, but the name always would have been Axl's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wfuckinga Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Axl's sister Amy Bailey has commented on Erin's charity auction:it's weird that her sister calls him "axl".... wouldn't it be more normal to call him bill ? His legal name has been Axl for quite some time, so, no, it wouldn't be more normal to call him "Bill", IMO.Ali William Axl RoseBill short for William.Rusty W. Axl Rose not William Axl Rose. He hated the name William and only kept the initial. Probably because it spells WAR. Yeah it's W., not William. Mick Wall is retarded and can go fuck himself wrong.And Axl Rose is an anagram for Oral Sex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November_rain Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I wonder what all those who think Erin can do what she wants with her things would think if Axl decided to sell/auction pics of Erin in bed, in the shower, letters and all the personal and private stuff he might have. Classless, petty, selfish,disrespectful or pathetic would probably be the nicest words he would be described with.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classless, petty, selfish,disrespectful or pathetic would probably be the nicest words he would be described with....I would feel the same way I do now. It's his property, from a time period of HIS life, and he can do whatever he wants with them.And like I said earlier. If I ever became rich and famous and some ex from 20 years ago sold the love notes I gave her.........who cares. (I've never physically beaten any of my ex's, so that might change the equation around a bit). MODS - not flaming the abuse thing - just using it as a point of fact. I don't really care that she is selling her own personal items........but I also think that the first time her ex smacked her, he lost the right to any "ownership" he might have had with these items.I'd bet money that about 8 posters on here care more about this than Axl actually does.All the people who defend and praise 99.9% of everything Axl does are the main group on here that are freaking out and blowing this out of proportion. If Axl doesn't want it out there, take a few grand from his reported 150 million dollars and buy it. Ten grand to Axl is like you or I spending $5 on a subway sandwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSeeker Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 If Axl would have died, and Erin sold these after, you all would be going "wow, how sweet, she kept everything".Erin has moved on and has remarried - she can make money off all this stuff she no longer cares for. If Axl would have moved on, he wouldn't have cared about this. Axl Rose is incapable of moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I fall into the category who thinks that it's within Erin's right to do what she pleases with her own personal property, but selling long-lost love letters and some of Axl's personal notes is a bit shameful. I think it's really cool that some die-hard GNR fan has an opportunity to obtain that's part of GNR's legacy (like the shirt worn in the video for Jungle), but to sell personal items is really rather tawdry move. It's akin, in my opinion, to someone selling Madonna's used underwear that were thrown in the garbage. Mind you, if the reports of physical violence are true, then I'm a bit more inclined to justify the move as karma coming back to bite Axl in the ass. Anyone man who causes a woman physical harm probably deserves a lot more than having his old love letters read aloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the dirt Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I also think that the first time her ex smacked her, he lost the right to any "ownership" he might have had with these items.Even if he didn't smack her, I don't think he should be entitled to more rights to the stuff she has.

Miss Paradise Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Maybe she still loves him. She stayed with him for four years despite the violence and cheating, so I take it her feelings for him run deep.Since we are discussing the content of the letters (which admittedly puts him in a good light but which could still be hurtful to him if they were disclosed) I think I remember that he claimed in one of the letters that he was never unfaithful to her.Do you have the exact quote? I can´t believe Axl said that! I think we all have listened to RQ. And Erin is not the one we hear. The song was recorded at the time Axl and Erin were dating. In those days Axl was wild about everything like all the guys in the band.Maybe his idea of being faithful was different. I don't remember he saying it, anyway. I remember he saying in a letter he wasn't look for anybody else, like he was being faithful but just that time, not throughout the entire relationship.
