Ace Nova Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) 7 hours ago, Huge fan said: https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/30989220/axl-rose-is-like-kanye-when-angry/?cmp=st Axl Rose behaves like Kanye West if you make him angry, according to former Guns N' Roses bandmate DJ Ashba. Ashba was the band's lead guitarist from 2009 until last year, and though he mostly enjoyed his time with the group, he says behaviour of Rose was sometimes just like that of the outspoken and temperamental rapper. "It got difficult here and there," he tells US radio station SiriusXM. "He's definitely, definitely a unique character. He has a very tight-knit circle and I was fortunate enough to be part of that. And he's always treated me like gold. I have not a bad word to say. Although I do know if you cross him he can turn more into the Kanye side of things (sic)." Articles like this are the reason behind the song, 'Get in the Ring'. It's the perfect example how some writer will take what was a completely positive opinion about Axl and twist and turn the interview into something negative. Ashba was extremely complimentary about Axl in the entire interview. Before you criticize Ashba, read the real interview in its entirety instead of falling into the trap of being this writer's puppets.

I figured that because of 'One In A Million' no black person would want to say they like the band or Axl but after so many years, I wonder if GN'R actually has a black fanbase. Haven't been to shows in countries with black population so I can't tell from that. Just wondering, please do no take offense from my question!

Right, I mean c'mon, he himself once sarcastically said "It's not like I'm known for being reactionary" to paraphrase from memory. (Eddie Trunk radio appearance) It was the wrong word, granted, he meant reactive, but the gist was clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caught_in_a_Coma Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I say it all the time, I understand why groups of fans didn't like Ashba. I feel he did the best he could with NuGuns and I hope someday we hear some of any music he and Axl worked on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity_lost Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 7 hours ago, killuridols said: And to be even more fair, DJ Ashba never brought Kaney West into the conversation! It was Jenny Garth who asked him to "rate" Axl's temperament in a scale of 1-to-Kaney and that's how poor Ashba ended up mentioning that stupid guy. This is what I came to say. Regardless if you love or hate Axl or love or hate Kanye, DJ wasn't actually comparing Kanye to Axl. DJ was just saying that Axl could be at the top of the given difficult to work with scale if you crossed him. Articles like the first linked one is just click-bait. How much interest are you actually going to get if your article is titled "DJ Ashba says Axl can be difficult to work with if you cross him?" Who doesn't know that Axl can be difficult to work with? Even Axl knows that Axl can be difficult to work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stella Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Yeah, they have fans from all walks of life. In one of the MTV interviews from the 1990s, there's a bit with Kurt Loder where he mentions that Chuck D from Public Enemy liked Guns N' Roses. I think many were put off by "One in a Million," not just black people...I certainly was, and I still don't like the song. But the song's been explained and re-explained and apologies have been made for it about a thousand times by now, and most people are smart enough not to judge their body of work by it.

Len Cnut Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I met a cousin once wearing a Ramones T shirt, totally unlikely street kid type character and i was like wow, i didn't know you liked The Ramones. And he's like whats The Ramones? And i go a punk band from the 70s. He was like oh thanks for ruining it, i liked this shirt as well!'. Sold it on ebay I seen a pic with Tupac and Kiss too, i doubt they were fans, famous people get their pictures taken with famous people, don't make em fans...or even friends.
