Ant Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) When I read his rant initially I thought Ash was DJ Ashba.... ... it was pretty enjoyable. Edited September 12, 2015 by Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) You know.. Saying he's on a diet is actually a backhanded compliment. Edited September 12, 2015 by niceguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Was funny when Axl called himself "El Gordo" on Twitter back in 2010. Guess those tweets are lost now since Twitlonger seems to have deleted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 His tweets back then were generally really positive. From March 2010:Headed 4 Lima! Was great gettin' back 2 Buenos Aires!! The crowds everywhere on this tour r unique un2 themselves. Don't get much rowdier or energetic than here n' as w/ Belo Horizonte n' Santiago etc. very humbling. Sure there's excited idiots who throw shit or whatever but 4 the most part the fans r so enthusiastic, positive n' we mean so much 2 them it sets u bk n' makes u work hard to feel u can earn a small part of the respect they show u. So many of these shows we have trouble w/r sound on stage to b able to hear 'cuz the audience is singing along so loud which is amazing!! It's also nice to visit places that aren't as jaded n' influenced by peer pressure or media nonsense. They know what they like n' stand up 4 it rather than b told what they should n' shouldn't b in2. I grew up w/the preppies n' jocks w/their pink Izod's where Bowie, Cooper, Zeppelin etc. were considered garbage n' when The Cars, The Police, The Clash, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols etc were "gay", whatever. South American fans have always been so good to us, I'm happy we were able to find a way to play for those we've been fortunate enough to have seen so far!! Obrigado, Gracias n' Thank You!! N' to the officials who gave us extra time in Buenos Aires a triple Thank You!! Peace!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Just me who doubts the sincerity of Ash claiming Axl is on a diet and losing weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Even when there was no real talk of a reunion, Slash didn't like it when Scott wrote that open letter insulting Axl.Now, it was probably Slash telling Ash what the fuck? just shut up so I can play.

Mao5 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Ash's message makes sense, he was just tired of being asked about the reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Umm, guys...I think the "Axl is on a diet" thing is tongue firmly planted in cheek It's a bit like saying "Sorry dickhead" That's what I am thinking, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guns n' Swedes Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Wow. Reading that Axl is trying to lose weight is a great sign I think. Not only the weight-loss itself, but the fact that he's making an effort sounds very promising.And that Ash seems so pressured to apologize like this, might mean that there's a lot at stake here (a reunion maybe).

Rovim Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Ash and Steven are NOT HELPING. Still not mad. I can understand why they would say those things. I just hope that Axl doesn't think it's too mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) How ridiculous is this band getting, band members brother slags off band, comes back from 're-education' with 'I apologise profusely for any comments i made against the regime, long live the regime!' whilst trying to tap the words 'help me!' out on his knee in morse code Slash probably called him up like 'boy, you fuckin' up my hustle!' If they'd've done that in video form it would've been Ash on cam looking all stiff and petrified reading an apology off cue cards before being yanked off screen!

username Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 This is sort of interesting. Has he just had a firm talking to from his father? Or is there more to this/? For example, who has informed him about the diet thing? Feels like he;s had a talking to from people who have an interest in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Umm, guys...I think the "Axl is on a diet" thing is tongue firmly planted in cheek It's a bit like saying "Sorry dickhead" That's what I am thinking, too.Me also. I read it as a sort of glib throwaway line. I cannot believe idiot gnr fans are taking it literally and seeing it as an excuse for an analytical discussion on Axl's weight haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Meh. Nice he apologized, but Axl's weight and diet are none of his fucking business. Or anyone else's. No need to comment on that at all.That's what happens when someone becomes a celebrity. It goes with the territory.Are you big, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludurigan Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'm kinda stunned that Ash owned up to it and apologized without claiming he was "hacked."he probably doesnt have PR people working for himthat probably explains the first postthe meme postand that also probably explains why he didnt use the hacked excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
