His antics included forcing the release of “One In a Million” (causing the whole band to take flak for his bigoted lyrics), challenging other musicians to fights via the press, announcing the band’s drug problems from the stage in LA (a move Duff McKagan said dissolved the band’s camaraderie instantly and permanently), hiring backup musicians without telling anyone, and stopping shows to bore the audience for minutes on end with tedious rants about contractual disputes.Furious at his bandmates’ failure to jump to his defense every time he did something ridiculous, he finally moved to take sole ownership of the band’s name by refusing to take the stage one night until documents were signed. Desperate to prevent Rose from inciting yet another riot, the band signed. Within three years, he succeeded in alienating his entire band and replaced them with session musicians. He got the full control he wanted and only had to turn Guns N’ Roses into a soulless revival act to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 But Axl cracks jokes all the time and only tells his own version of the truth. Media once again is out ta get him, even now that he's an irrelevant 50 years old washed up rock singer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it is true but saying he replaced the original line up with "session musicians" is a step too far. As for "soulless revival act". I beg to differ.

Nosaj Thing Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Axl is a tyrant indeed. Confirmed recently by Dizzy.Indeed. He's a tyrant by the definition of the word. However, some people do not know the meaning of the word, which leads to confusion and ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER PT Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Since this is a repost shitty lame thread who turned into another "hunt the GUNNER" thread and no one seems to care about it, worse, some people even seems to like to join the one-way-party from time to time, guess I'm allowed to reply to this offtopic.Its really weird how Gunner sometimes pulls out weird quotes and threads. He quoted me from a question I asked to Marc like years ago once.^^^ This would be really funny like hell ... I would even piss my pants from laughing so much .... if it wasn't an absolute lie.But lets all give a big laugh anyway ...

GUNNER PT Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Let's not forget gunners creepy post where he quotes all the times Nosaj said 'utter shit'^^^ Another lie - FACT.I didn't quote ALL the times he said "utter shit" ... the forum only allows 10 quotes or something like that.What's really creepy is to see he said it much more than 10 times and that he keeps repeating the same utter shit for years ... it reveals a certain psychotic attitude regarding Axl/ChD and an agenda.I just made it clear to everyone ... thanks to the forum search feature ... there's nothing creepy about it.
