DR DOOM Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Bruce should say it to Axl's face not some interviewer trying to look hard in front of his fanbase. You never know Axl may hand Bruce his arse.or pull his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Guns N' Roses and Iron Maiden, the bands and their respective crews, did not get along on that 1988 tour. I think people thought that it was an odd fit as Guns were a blues based punky rock n' roll act who sing about real life whereas Maiden are an operatic metal act who sing about Pharaohs, demons and history. Maiden were probably closer to Guns when they had Di'Anno and playing punk rock.yeah, it definitely was a weird and perhaps misguided pairing. GnR probably were not going to win too many fans from Maiden's audience, or vice versa. The other tours that GnR went out with, like Alice Cooper and Aerosmith, seemed to be a much better match.

Tom2112 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Bruce ensured that Quebec and Montreal will be in the band route on the upcoming tour and when asked about the memories of his previous visits to Canada, Bruce Dickinson said with humor reminiscent of a time he wanted to hit Axl Rose at the Colisée de Québec.Guns N 'Roses opened the show of Iron Maiden and, according to Dickinson, Axl Rose would have told the public that the Maiden was only the main attraction because he spoke French. "I should have gone to the stage and punched him. How could he dare to talk to my audience in this way? I always regretted not having done so."http://whiplash.net/materias/news_799/229679-ironmaiden.htmlTranslated a bit weird, but I think I got the gist of it.Didn't Bruce pull the same shit with Ozzy? and get eggs pelted at him. And he still thought he was in the right. But! Bruce is a great singer, hurtling towards 60 and he shows no signs of slowing down. I generally I agree with what he said though. When you're opening the bill you pay respect to the headliner. Maybe on the last show if the headliner has been a proper dick to you, you pull some sort of prank or call them out backstage... but you leave it backstage.

ludurigan Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 there was really a lot of friction between iron maiden and guns n roses on that touri have heard bits and pieces of both bands saying not so nice things about one anotheri remember someone in gnr mentioning that maiden wouldnt allow them to use the full stage (just a part of it)the halifax video shows that GNR was absolutely firing in april 1988 and maiden was probably not so hot by then, thy were probably a bit fried and a bit on descent after so much touring on the 80sif i remember correctly, gnr left (or was kicked off) the tour earlier than what was programmedand if i remember correctly the explanation for them leaving the tour was that axl blew his throath I never really listened to the gnr boots from the canadian tour execpt the halifax showid love to hear a proper recording of this thing that axl supposedly said about maiden/brucei remember some interviews where bruce badtalked gnr and la bands saying stuff like its all about cocaine (or something to that effect)to this day i wonder if tattoed millionaire is about axl rose...

stella Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 And Axl actually *did* blow out his throat around that time, so that was true at least. I remember hearing that at one point he actually had to stop talking to people and just write things down, because his throat was so thrashed. Hey, they wanted to leave the tour early and they did.

LolI wager everyone that ever met Axl Rose thought about giving him a smack at least once Not really.Yeah, I mean... Axl's such a beloved fella, must be 'cause he's such a nice guy to everyone, he treats everyone so well! Gimme a fucking break, BS. 9 out of 10 people that know who Axl Rose is would say he's an asshole, do you think that's a coincidence? Dude's the most bitter asshole in the music industry yet every time some celebrity or musician say "oh, I don't like Axl rose" everyone goes "OMG SO BITTER! OMG SUCH AN ASSHOLE!" Well, I guess every fucking one is an asshole! Medina, Dee Snider, Bruce Dickinson, Paul Stanley, Tommy Lee, Lemmy, Kurt Cobain, James Hetfield, Scott Weiland, Jack Black, Trent Reznor are just some I can remember. Sometimes I think if George Harrison were alive, and if he were asked about Axl, even HE would've said something. Bruce should say it to Axl's face not some interviewer trying to look hard in front of his fanbase.

Black Sabbath Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Alright, Cosmo Christ, what crawled up your ass? My main point was to what Len said "I'm sure everyone who met Axl has wanted to give him a smack." I know Len was slightly joking, but all I was saying is that all the people I've talked to that have hung out with Axl, have great things to say. At the party I was at, he treated everyone (myself and other fans included) like he'd known them forever. Yeah, he can be a dick, sure, but so can the people you've listed lol I'm not saying he can't be, just saying there are just as many situations where he's awesome as fuck that you don't hear about."Axl Rose is an asshole to fan!" will make the headlines."Axl Rose is awesome to fan and hangs out for hours!" will not.Fuckin' a, calm down. Yeah, he can be dick but he can also be cool as fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
