April 23rd, 2014 - Golden Gods - Los Angeles, CA - Axl receives "Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award"


Recommended Posts

How can Axl scoff at the validity of the RRHOF and then accept this lifetime personal achievement award? :lol:

picking up a life time achievement award and then doing things on your own terms is a lot different than going to an institution where you call no shots and have to pay thousands of dollars just to have your friends and family come to YOUR induction, big difference IMO.

Riiiight. And one pays tribute to an indivdual and the other pays tribute to a guy who wishes we'd all forget. Axl is a hypocrit plain and simple.

he had a problem with the rock n roll hall of fame specifically, not every organization giving out awards, big difference.

Agreed. Clearly Axl is not the only one who's ever had an issue with the RRHOF, as the Kiss situation recently shows.

he had a problem with who was being inducted and we all know it. had they been willing to induct people who had nothng to do with why they were being inducted he'd have been there. he inducted Elton John, he doesn't have that big a problem with the RRHOF. His problem was they knew as well as anyone that his current band is meaningless when it comes to GnR being inducted. the RRHOF is an arbitary "lifetime achievment" award no different than this aside from the fact he's being acknowledge alone and not with the guys that helped him achieve all this.

This is the last big stage to take this line up into the mainstream as Guns N' Roses with a new song debut... he's never going to play anything new if it's not here. The Axl Rose of old would take a lifetime achievement award as a call to arms to make a statement, going against the grain where the achievement is perceived to be the first ten years of his career (which it largely is) and transforming the occasion to translate to the CD era and the current line up.

Bad day? I'm doing perfectly fine. Chillin at work raking in double time while chatting online. can't complain.

Yeah, his problem with the RNRHOF was that Slash would be there.

It's a very understandable problem in my book

yeah not wanting to be acknowledged with the guy who played a massive part in your lifetime achievement but if there's an organization willing to acknowledge you by yourself by all means haha. It's like an MVP(Co MVP of a band) of a sports team not wanting to be acknowledge with his teammates for winning a championship but he'll gladly accept akcnowledgement as the indivual responsible for it.
