wkuk04 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 He was fucking hammered threw all the success, he didn't enjoy it? The size of his gut recently, that success is paying dividends. I wish someone would explain that his time in Guns N' Roses is what made him, then & now. Those yearly royalty checks are putting your kids threw college, food for your family and keeping a roof over your baby mommas head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) One thing that doesn't make sense.... If he didn't enjoy the success of GnR, then why didn't he just hang up the top hat after he left GnR and live off royalties? He certainly could've changed his look a bit, started going by "Saul", and live a normal life while still getting a good chunk of change from the hits from AFD and UYI. Axl did that throughout the mid to late 90's, Slash could've. Edited March 17, 2015 by liers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean that he didn't enjoy playing music and didn't want to continue to play music. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 That should be interesting to read the full article and the context of this sentence Yeah, I thought I could read the entire interview but it's nowhere to be found.Not the first time Slash has expressed his "hatred" of success. While I think he could have really hated it, I also think that comment is definitely part of his "I'm cool" persona. Not sure why Axl lunatic fans are surprised if they always thought Slash was a compulsive liar and a two-faced character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
