SoulMonster Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I expected another public embarrassment after seeing the thread is almost 20 pages... but it was pretty decent. I don't see what's wrong with it. We complained when he was totally reclusive and we complain when he does something. At least DJ isn't playing. Oh come on!! Don't be so mature and balanced about this absolute travesty!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkAboutYou Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 They should cut the ad down to 3 seconds then it would be awesome just the Axl bit with the 2 chicks dancing, It would save air time and our ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laparka Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I wonder what you guy found so bad.It's a fuckin' commercial. At least he does not go AWOL like after CD was released.If that means that he comes out of his house to promote to upcoming-to-be-released-soon album, he can even do toilet paper commercials as far as I'm concerned.At least he seems to be in a good mood and he looks less bloated.

twenty-nine Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Did the other guys leave the band? Is this the new band?

Don't be so mature and balanced about this absolute travesty!!It's just that there were a lot of folks who liked to slag Slash for commercialism and said that Axl had way more artistic integrity and would never do things like that. They're all of a sudden in the "hooray for commercials!" boat. It's comical.Doesn't bother me any. Guy's got to make a buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdHeartBreaker Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Why can't we be happy about this? I don't understand. There's grown men on here acting like 12 year olds, throwing rocks across a fence at the "axl fans" (its stupid as shit as it is to be a "slash fan" or "axl fan").You are all the worst people. Get a grip on reality. You're all rooting for Slash or Axl like they're superheroes or villains. You create double standards, you use every possible chance to attack the "other team" like you're running a political campaign. Grow the fuck up.This needs to be quoted again.

When did Axl become this principled punk ethic artist who was like, anti-commerciality, they were signed to a major record label, they've had corporate sponsorship in their day, when the fuck was integrity of this description ever a part of the GnR ethos, it wasn't ever, they wanted and actively sought to be the biggest band in the world...and achieved it for a while, looking for artistic integrity in a big mainstream stadium rock band is like look for a whore in a nunnery.A 3 second cameo in a beer commercial is still a far cry from animated Disney videos.Yes, it's more commercial and indicates less integrity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, complaining about an artist losing their integrity is just being a Nobody puts baby in a corner fan who's mad that their 50 year old rockstar isn't adhering to shitty culture values from 30 years ago. The Disney video is shit because it's shit, not because Slash is sacrificing his integrity in making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still big and recognisable there!I think the ad is pretty cool and glad he did it. It's another random but surprising thing like the time he did the voice over for GTA.

combos Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Alright, his position on Slash being a sell out is officially void. And anyone who use to have the same position on Slash is also, void. This was shameless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
