IZZYISGNR Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) What an attention whore he is. What a charlatan. I can't stand guys who talk like that, they sound like bitches. Edited August 12, 2015 by IZZYISGNR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 What an attention whore he is. What a charlatan. I can't stand guys who talk like that, they sound like bitches. In what way is he an attention whore or a charlatan? You can throw around all the insulsting superlatives you like, but you ain't got shit to back it up. Why can't Ron discuss his issues with being in the band? I admire him for being the only NuGNR member past or present to have the balls to speak out publicly against Axl's douchebaggery. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jekylhyde Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 He is just telling what he experienced when he was a member of Guns. He didn't trash/diss Axl or anyone. I don't see how that's attention whor-ish behaviour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreakDown2014 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Everytime people ask Ron to talk about all the "crazy stuff" he did with GN'R he answers the same thing about being able to talk about it for hours, but he never actually mentions anythingDude's weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Rose Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Which show did the tornado hit? Anyone know?I searched and found this, looks like Rio 2010http://bravewords.com/news/sebastian-bach-band-forced-to-borrow-guns-n-roses-gear-as-equipment-truck-rolls-off-cliff-in-brazilYes it was, I was there in line to get in while the stage collapsed.But what did Ron say? Anyone care to summarize? Can't watch it right now. ThanksEdit: Ok, I saw it. It's just 10 min, I thought it was more. Nothing new to me. The show was cancelled and the next one started at about 4 am if I recall correctly. Thank God I wasn't there. But then, when they came back to Rio a month later, there was no tornado, just a little drizzle, and Axl got on stage 2 am anyway. Bach finished his set at about 9:30 and we just stood there waiting. Also, they opened the gates earlier, at 5 pm and I couldn't take my power bars in, and they didn't sell food inside, so yeah, that was a fun day. But last year he was on time! caught me by surprise, I was sitting down, having a snack (learned how to fool the guards) and expecting to be there for a while and it started. I was like "something is not right". I was home by 1 am. Blew my mind. Edited August 12, 2015 by Deb Rose 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to summarize? Can't watch it right now. ThanksThe gist was that Axl was almost a no show at the gig following the tornado when the crew had worked round the clock to fix the stage and gear, he was 2hrs late and his plane landed within a minute of the airport closing.A face palm was used as illustration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I mean people can defend Axl all day but it was up to him to get on that plane and be there on time, he can't blame other people for that. Even with the crew organising new gear etc. Axl would have to foot the bill, but he wouldn't be on the phone personally talking to suppliers... he has a guy doing that, so whatever his reason for flying in 2hrs late has to be amazing, for him not to look like a completely self involved, privileged A-hole. Great singer and entertaining to watch but his actions suggest that he just doesn't care about his audience. And if he does care he has a really, really weird way of showing it.I prefer it when people leave bands that they don't start spilling the beans, this isn't exactly news (or spilling the beans) though as there's a million other identical stories like this. But! as much as it would be interesting to hear, I'd respect him a whole more if he didn't tell all. See no benefit, apart from some quick publicity.

See no benefit, apart from some quick publicity.I'll defend Axl all day, but rarely for the lateness. My real thought is that there's something else up besides "he doesn't care about his audience." Something along the lines of an anxiety disorder. Thank God they started more or less on time in 2013, but I even have to figure that was a huge struggle for some reason.

RandallFlagg Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It's not as if we don't know how Axl operates, I still recall the time he decided to go back to his room then to a casino whilst the fans were waiting for him to appear onstage during UYI tour, then he demanded to go to a fireworks performance then he finally desired to go and sing at the venue and when the crowd looked bored during I think KOHD he said 'if you're bored, there was a great fireworks show you should've gone to instead' it's perfect Axl logic lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Ron is waaay too good for NuGNR. Best off out of there so he can use his talents for things more productive than covering Slash's old guitar parts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Axl's version of the blue m&ms. Most bands have it. We have just constructed this media image of axl as the biggest if not only asshole of all time. When in fact rock now rap littered with them. Give anyone a few million and chicks offering them anal on the stairs and watch them be late for a meeting. ODing and banging school girls. Awesome.Being late. Asshole!"No logic here today, do as you got to, go your own way" or something like that. Of course Axl is being dysfunctional on a global scale but we act as if we blameless or roll legit at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's asking to have your head kicked in, rightfully so that is, and is the pinnacle of arrogance.I'm not suggesting it's an admirable thought process that ought to remain devoid of sensible consequence, I'm just pointing out Axl has existed within his peculiar bubble for a long time, it's not unexpected but it's par for the course, most people aren't operating on the extreme side of things like he is, it would take an equally severe depth of comprehension for him to be reprimanded sufficiently for him to learn a lesson... whatever that means, which suggests he'll never need to learn to tone it down. This seems to me why he has never needed to up his work ethic enough to reach the frame of mind to get down and release something fresh.

wasted Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 200 mil says hes going home rather than do what you say? So he saw some fireworks and did the show. No biggie on to next potential riot the next night. It's all a gamble when its just a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
