Popular Post recklessroad Posted August 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) The fact that Slash signed off on The DVD that New Guns put out last year and the fact that Axl signed off on The DVD that Slash's band just put out was a sign that things are moving in the right direction. The fact that Duff has been friends again with Axl was a big step. For years I have been saying things in interviews and here on this forum that there was a lot of miscumunation between Axl and Slash and even though Axl has heard some of the things that I have said regarding that, doesn't mean much until someone like Duff saying some of the somethings is what probably helped clear some of that up.Del's birthday post to Slash was when I knew that things were even better than I thought, meaning things must have moved again to the right direction to where they had to of talked. So it was no surprise but more of a breath of fresh air that they are cumuncating again. You have no idea of the weight that is now off of Axl's shoulders. He was holding that crap in for way too long. If they have been talking then that would mean that a lot of the bad crap between them may be gone. So todays news was good news but expected news after seeing Del's post.Also the uproxx clip must have made an impact, No Just kidding haha had nothing to do with any of this good news.

gunsfanoldie Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'm very happy to see Marc comment. He gets me thinking it really isn't taken out of context and there's actually steps being made to repair their friendship. Obviously if he could clarify in person from one of them that would be other worldly, but I believe what he's saying with such confidence that it appears there's enough clues to show something actually happened. I'm so nervous this is all set up for some sort of failure.Also, I'm not even kidding, someone should get the two of them in a room together and show them the Uproxx clip. It really does encapsulate perfectly their relationship and what they meant to so many people, and I think coming from their old friend they would see it for the great piece it is.

shotsfired cro Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Marc,Does that.suggest that Beta was out of the picture?Also, would you say the first meeting was agreed on a certain point or more accodental ie., someones party/wedding, random meeting in the restaurant...I personal saw the writing on the wall when Matt put a picture of the UYI line up on his FB and wrote 'soon a band like this that has been since'.Also, that came right after everyone claimed cover band guys received the mail saying to find another job.Could be they hid this for a year or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUnderScott Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Its fantastic news if it is true. I've loved the last GnR lineup with the two departing boys in BBF & DJ but no-one compares to Slash. No-one has the same soul to their guitar playing. Axl and Slash have made great music separately but they elevate each other to another level when together. I hope they write a song together again some day but if not at least repairing their friendship would be special. I hope that opportunity extends to other people in Axls former circle of friends too ! ;-)You deserve that Marc and I really cross my fingers for you...

recklessroad Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Had you known Meegan pretty well from the past - was it a shock when you heard about them getting together recently? I did know her back in 1987. I don't know how they found eachother again but Slash does keep in contact with old girlfriends and he is still on talking terms with a lot of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkchild Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi Marc,I was just wondering if you think the 2 of them could learn to like each others company again? This is fab news, and is likely going to be something taken in small steps with their history. But could you see Axl inviting Slash to one of his Summer parties, or something like that down the line? "Morning Coffee and bring the acoustic"? or would your hunch be that they would be cool with each other, get business done, but not really hang out? How would you guess things could be in a years time?Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recklessroad Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) If they are friends again, that would mean that Axl no longer thinks Slash is the devil but the fact that I was promoting the the band that Slash was in at a time that Axl thought different about Slash, still could mean that he thinks that I have betrayed him. That will probably take more time to heal. Its just a matter of Axl someday realizing that I was only doing what I thought was the right think to do. The book was put together for a good reason and after 12 years of sitting a window was open for it to come out. To me the history of the band did not need to be erased but infact needed to be celebrated. Somewhere deep inside, Axl knows that I love him and only want the best for him. I think it would take us bumping into each other to start the process of us talking again. Edited August 24, 2015 by recklessroad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Słash Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Marc, is it possible to text Slash about this interview? many people are saying its edited and all, so some sort of confirmation and clarification over this whole topic would be a cool thing.

recklessroad Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I don't want to bother Slash with asking him about this, I'm sure he is getting slammed with these questions. The fact that Del whished him a happy birthday is more than enough for me to know that they are talking again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
