Popular Post Frey Posted November 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) 21 hours ago, hair of the dog said: I read something about the leaked emails, but what´s the Doug Goldstein thing you mencioned? Don´t know anything about it. I'm not the best person to ask about this because I'm only vaguely familiar with that story. Maybe someone else who was here for that knows more details? Anyway, some years ago, after Axl finally realized Doug Goldstein is a moron, Beta went behind Axl's back with Doug Goldstein about something. Or maybe she just kept contact with him on a personal level? I don't remember anymore, but Axl allegedly was extremely pissed and upset about Beta betraying him when he found out and there were some threads about Beta getting fired for this. The mods or admins or whoever reached out to TB and iirc they denied Beta being fired, but not really anything else (?). There's also an extremely hilarious letter that Goldstein wrote to Axl, trying to get back into his good graces. EDIT: Here's the letter and some more background on the Beta and Axl story. The bold, purple bits are my comments lol. from http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?id=12442 Presumably dated from 2009, delivered in hands to Beta: Axl, I implore you to read this. First and foremost, I thank you in advance for taking the time to read this. I believe there are MANY misconceptions, false-truths, and resentmrent causing issues that continue to fester in Our relationship. I'd love the opportunity to clear these up. The sale of Big FD to Sanctuary...... Ax, I swear on my kids lives, when I was first propositioned by Merck, I immeadiately called Sharon (that's Yoda, for those who don't know. Her real name was Sharon Maynard). She told me to fly to England and meet with Rod Smallwood, Merck, and Andy Taylor. Furthermore, and most importantly, she definitavely "ORDERED" me NOT to tlk to you about it. She wanted me to ascertain the strength of the company, which at the time was magnanimous. ("She told me to do it! It's all Yoda's fault!") After my fact finding mission, I flew to Arizona to meet with Sharon and Elliot (Mr. Magical Crystal Sculpture. Yoda's husband.). They concluded that at this point in your career, you needed a powerhouse company with unlimited power and resources to help guide your career. Again, I was given the missive to "surprise " you with this information, as Sharon felt you would be PROUD that I was willing to give up Big FD to further enhance YOUR career. Ax, check with Elliot..if he denies this, he's flat out lying...I swear on my kids lives. (Seems Sharon and Elliot have way too much to say about Axl's career. And smarmy con artist and fraud Elliot Maynard being a liar? Who would've guessed!) Merck...where do I start here....He flat out fucked me and was a vicious Cancer (that kind of language seems familiar to me from somewhere! Did they learn that from the Maynards too?) that intentionally created decietful lies to muddy the waters of our once inseperable brotherhood. ( ) I will accept culpability for the fact that for the first time in my life, I wasn't acting in a resposible manner, as far as my responsibilities in guiding your life's path. For this, I can only eternally apologize. I was SO fucked up in the head at that time. I was suicidal over mising my kids, and didn't know how to sufficiently handle the pain. Oh...the $10k a month that Sanctuary claims THEY were paying Sharon, was MY fucking money. They took HALF of my paycheck every month...and paid Sharon..that was a huge hit for me to take, but I was trying to hold onto yours,and mines relationhip!!! To that end, I am BACK!!!...my kids live inNewbury Park. Jake is almost 16..the most charming affable, loving guy. On his own accord he picked up the guitar about 5 years ago. He's amazing!! Eli is 10..and God has blessed me with the sweetest ittle guy in the world. I have found an AMAZING woman, named Bridget. She's loved me for 6 years. She has literally broght me back to life. She's supprtive of all my decisions, we never do anything without the other, and we're getting married in July. We own 2 art galleries in Hawaii, as well as opening a Fred Segal type store next December. Axl, I'm watching your career with great frustration. I know that the only reason Irving is working with you is to induce you in the future to do THE GREAT RE-UNION TOUR. Give me a fucking break....I KNOW that is never going to happen, and wish people wouldd just fucking leave you alone on this issue. Andy Gould...C'mon..the guys a buffoon. He's a semi-funtioning alcoholic, who doesn't put YOUR needs in first place. Ax, This is hard for me to write. I know you abhor this, but the fact is I LOVE YOU with all my Heart!! (This is also getting hard for me to read ) ..I have watched others try and work with you, and whilst quoting an Eminem song, "They don't know you like I do Man". () Al of the so called industry types, which I have always had disdain for, Clammoring around incompetently handling your carrer. The biggest difference, is that know one is taking the time to properly ascertain your vision, and allow you the support and guidance that you deserve. No one that I'm aware of has the bond and ability to correctly adapt your conceptualizations, and implement YOUR ideas, as opposed to pushing their own self-effacing needs and desires. Ax, you know that when my heads right, I'm the BEST at knowing how to protect, market, conceptualize, and most impotantly put my own personal needs or injecting "MY VISION"..give me a fucking break..You don't need someone to GUIDE you..You're the most intelligent, misunderstood individual, I've EVER had the pleasure of working with. You need a facilitator of your dreams. Someone who is humble, loyal, as has no hidden agendas. Guess what bro..THAT'S ME!! (Just when you thought he couldn't lick Axl's ass any harder, he does it some more) I implore you to find the time to meet with me. You will see for yourself...Dougie is back bigger, better and stronger than EVER!! I will be in LA May 8th-the 10th. I implore you to meet with me..I will extend my trip as long as you need me to. I will sit and answer any and every question truthfully and completly. I can come in early, or stay later..You tell me when YOU are available...I'll be there. I have a brilliant plan to make you between 10-20 million dollars a year, wehter you tour or not. It's called the "ROSE FESTIVAL". If you decide to tour with Van Halen, I could do the pre-production and the first show, but need to get back to Hawaii for my wedding. (LOL Rose Festival) The festival would start in Australia in January 2010. The site would be a massive field, holding 250-500 thousand people. It's a two day event, with 3 stages. We'd have a metal day the first day. We would approach Metallica to close the first night. We would have 60 bands including GNR over the course of 2 days. The beauty is you'd be doing 2 shows a wee k, and you OWN the festival in perpituity. You would have to do the initial tour, but after that, you stay home and tellme the bands you want, sit back and collect the money...no longer would you need Irving, or anyone else. I'm willing to move back to LA to be at CAA everyday to find the right sponsors, bands, and fly to EVERY location, ensuring a safe environment. The beauty is instead od the promoter making all the money, you OWN the event. You get paid on parking, all beverages, t-shirt sales from EVERY band on the bill, as well as a lion's share of the sponsorship money. Ax, you know me..if I set my mind on something..I am the BEST at allowing you your vision, and concurrently protecting you. I would like to set up a charitable foundation under YOUR NAME, where $2 from every ticket sold goes towards feeding the HUNGRY..imgine if we can get McDonalds to mach us happy-meal for happy meal. You'd personally be responsible for feeding 500,00-1 million people evertime we haVE A show. (In case the money arguments weren't convincing enough for Axl, let's also appeal to his softer side!) The press would be HUGE!!!! I would need to be in LA while you are doing the Van Halen tour, as it's imperative to be at CAA everyday to ensure your vision is met. I have many other ideas tha I'd love to share with you, including a video idea for "If The World"..Using stock footage, build a montage wth FREE stock footage...Bernie Madoff, the founder of Countrywide..the global stock markets crahing..people jumpig off buidings after losing ther personal wealth, the war in Iraq, the homeless all over the world..etc..you wouldn't need to be in the video at all if you choose not to. I'd over see the production of the video in LA and send you a rough copy FED-EX everyday, so it is YOUR vision. Bottom line, please forgive me for not being ther...Bridget has given me aa new lease on life, and I've NEVER been this happy and strong. I weigh 158 pounds, wearing a size 30 jean, (thx for the info, Dougie) eomtionally and physically stronger than I've ever been. I'm up tothe task and KNOW without an hesitation that I can protect yo u and set you up financially for the rest of your life. Thank you SO much for taking the time to hear me out, and if you decide NOT to work with me, I respect that decision. I will ALWAYS be ther for you, and YOU decide what I deserve to make for my efforts. I hope you will at least give me an opportunity to sit with you, to allow us the opportuniy to put some resolve to our relationship. Either way, we both need to get on with our lives, and have closure one way or another. Beta knows how to reach me..feel free to write or call me whenever you feel up to it. Your Friend, Doug Goldstein p.s----sorry for all the typo's..I needed to get his to you asap Rumour has it Beta got Doug to write Axl a letter in an attempt to try and get him back into the fold. Doug posted the pics on facebook so Axl found out Beta had been speaking with him. Allegedly, Axl kicked Beta out of the house afterwards, their relationship had a fallout and then got back again, and now she's the manager... --------------------- So that's that. I can't be the only one who finds Dougie's way of speaking and his blatant ass licking absolutely hilarious, so I decided to share lol.

Lumikki Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) I can never decide what my favorite part is in that Goldstein letter. "Axl, YOU are the most intelligent and most misunderstood human being EVAH, it's all about YOU and YOUR dreams and YOU decide if and when YOU will grace me with YOUR time and presence." or "A vicious cancer that intentionally created decietful lies to muddy the waters of our once inseperable brotherhood" or "Ax, This is hard for me to write. I know you abhor this, but the fact is I LOVE YOU with all my Heart!!", followed by an Eminem quote. If I didn't know TB, Doug Goldstein and how ridiculous everything about this band and Axl's life is, I wouldn't believe it. It's disturbing to see how involved Yoda and her creep husband are/were in Axl's financial and career decisions. And yes, all that talk about lies, deceit and cancers... Sounds just like Axl talking about Slash. Might really be something they picked up from the Maynards. Creepy. (And how much ass can one man kiss? If everyone around Axl talks like that to him, then ) 20 hours ago, Babooshka said: Omg, what is this!? Drama follows this band everywhere! And yes, badass Duff is something. Yeah, Duff can't even hold a book signing without drama. It truly is everywhere around them. (But all the drama is probably why I still follow this band. Keeps things interesting at least, as long as nothing else is happening ) 21 hours ago, starlight said: aw Axl's so sweet in this postcard! Don't let nothing get you down, we care and lol at the others And angry Duff is scary not someone I would mess with 19 hours ago, giuls said: I love this postcard for some reason, Slash and Duff are supportive but kinda generic, Izzy gets threating, Axl assures her they care and he's actually sweet saying she's doing great and i can only read rock in Steven's message. (WTF at Poison retailing on Bridenthal when they had beef with Axl) I love it too. Axl being unusually sweet is nice to see. And Izzy being threatening lol. I also like Duff's handwriting. Steven's message reads "rock my world" I think. 20 hours ago, Blackstar said: I came across this postcard when we were trying to figure out if the handwriting on a supposed "contract" found in a warehouse belonged to any of the band members. The story behind it: This postcard sends support to Bridenthal who had been involved in a well publicized fight with some members of Poison backstage at the L.A. Forum. Axl Rose had called Poison a “bunch of poseurs” who represent “everything bad about rock and roll” and Poison’s Bobby Dahl and Bret Michaels retaliated at a Motley Crue afterparty by throwing beer on Bridenthal and then dumping a bucket of ice water on her head. She later sued the Poison members which resulted in an out of court settlement. https://garyrocks.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/guns-n-roses-vs-poison-welcome-to-their-jungle/ ---------- And to keep up more with the light/bright side of the thread, a random Slaxl moment: Thanks, I figured it was something like that from their messages, but didn't know the actual story behind the postcard. at Poison.

I imagine it can't have been easy (and probably was quite awkward) after so many years of bitterness and hurt feelings. 16 hours ago, Andy14 said: Slash: "Hey, Axl" Axl: "Oh, shit! You again?" ... Slash: "Hmmm....delicious meat....did you cook it yourself" Axl: "Huh" Slash: "And the bread...is it homemade?" Axl: ... Axl: "How's Perla?" Slash: ... Slash: "I gotta go...it was nice talking to you" Axl: "Sure " Slash: "And the band?" Axl: "Duff will do it" Slash: "Deal" LOl Andy, I laughed for real at "And the bread...is it homemade?" And "Duff will do it". I also wanna know if they hugged. Like, did Axl open the door for Slash to let him in and gave him a hug, like all these years of drama never happened? Or was it more awkward. That's what Axl did with Izzy at least when he showed up at his house. According to Izzy, Axl gave him a big hug, acted like nothing bad had ever happened between them and then showed him around the house. I also hope Axl banned TB to the basement or something while Slash was there, so they could be undisturbed. I'd feel really sorry for Slash if he had Beta breathing down his neck the whole time Edited November 7, 2016 by Lumikki 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
