liers Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 This is a joke, right?Axl getting a lifetime achievement award? Axl has put out 1 album in 19 years. THAT's an achievement? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Of The Blues Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Here we are, a thread about a lifetime achievement award to a singer songwriter escalated into a group of members stuck in time. You don't see Axl attending ceramonies to former members with riffs because it would look desperate and out of place. The hall of fame is different because they were suppose to be there, I don't even believe he's on the line up so it would be odd and look bad to be honest. A little fyi, Ronnie Dio is well beyond worthy of holding that name and Chinese Democracy started in 1998 under heavy circumstances. With that being said I guess Metallica and AC/DC apparently don't deserve recognition for anything, it's hard to misinterpret an award called "Lifetime"..

DR DOOM Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 God forbid Slash should be allowed to be in the audience at a GNR concert, especially at a guitar award show.If Slash is there, it's a perfect opportunity for Axl to show the rock world how big a boy he is these days and not make a song and dance over it.

saber_ Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Here's food for thought:What if Axl agreed to accept the award and show up precisely because Slash attends it every year?

gunsguy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) We don't know is Slash will be there, I can only imagine he would be.There is not a person on the planet that wouldn't think one fucking song with Slash on it wouldn't be fucking killer.Would that happen? Doubt it but it would be fucking awesome if they could pull it off without talk of a reunion or something. Just get up and jam on a few tunes.Anyways back to the award, I don't know much about it but I think it is cool for him to be recognized, unsure how that translates to the general public.The other issue is performing on tv, they better rehearse, Guns don't have a good track record with live performances on TV kinda thing.

Subtle Signs Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) The best we can hope for is a photo-op with Axl, Duff and maybe Adler (wasn't his new band at this event a few years back?) The problem is that photo would be more talked about and analyzed in the rock media than Axl and the seven guys that nobody outside of these boards knows about playing WTTJ for the 1000th time.

Sixes Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) the general public doesn't have a clue about these awardsit's a metal/hard rock-centric award ceremony that's strictly geared towards that audiencei've been a hard rock/metal fan my whole life and i've never once watched or paid any mind to this show aside from seeing the dillinger escape plan performing Edited February 27, 2014 by Sixes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It shouldn't be a big deal either way, it would be strange if Axl couldn't perform because a specific guy was hanging out in the same building as him. But this is a moot point right now because Slash hasn't even been rumored to be there right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Interesting. If Slash goes, you can bet Axl won't show up. Is Slash a regular at these events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle Signs Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Slash isn't nominated for best guitarist but the fine folks at Revolver have seen fit to put Head and Munky from Korn up for the honor. Some of these nominees/performers are brutal. I think it'd take a Gn'R reunion to get me to sit through this shit.

The riddle continues. But we know Axl does care. Slash was not allowed to at Vegas show. And fans wearing a Slash t-shirt were not allowed at GN´R gigs either. So what are the odds that Axl wouldn´t mind if Slash wants to show up this time around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I hope Slash tries to go, they show him on the carpet, and then they show him getting turned away at the door. He's got absolutely no businesses there and to try to take away from Axl's award would be fucked up, even for him. I suppose it wouldn't be too far fetched for him to try as he tried to ruin one of the comeback gigs though Anyways congrats Axl, a well deserved award! Thanks for Chinese, release the rest of the CD era tracks to get these haters off your back.Kid, why should Slash stay home from a show he has regularly attended and maybe even performed at? Were you even born when Slash was in Gn'R?He should stay home because he's got no business there to take away from Axl's award.And yes, I was alive when Slash was in the band, thanks for asking.Why would Slash attending mean, he is there ''to take away from Axl's award'' - as if Slash is some sort of evil baby snatcher who will swoop down and steal the goblet from Axl's hands when Axl is delivering a speech! Presumably, if Slash attends, Slash will be there for the exact same reasons he was invited at the prior events: because he has been invited by the event organisers; because the event is sponsored by epiphone, a guitar company; because Slash is a leading personality of the rock fraternity.
