Popular Post Blackstar Posted August 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2017 I was looking for a 2010 Slash radio interview with Eddie Trunk. I didn't find it, but I found a TV interview with Trunk from the same year. Someone was looking for it in the Downloads section and I uploaded it there. Anyway, I watched it, and at one point one of the other guys in Trunk's show asked Slash this: If you could only have one of these next two singers in your band forever, would it be Axl or Scott? And Slash: Why did you guys have to go there. (laughs) I wasn't prepared for that one. (serious) Honestly, it would be Axl ... As far as singers are concerned... yeah. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like those guys I saw at both Axl/DC and Phil Rudd's shows. Black ACDC shirts, old jeans and denim jackets they've been proudly wearing for the past 30 years . 2 hours ago, MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle said: LOL at the taking his friend comments. How old are these people? I wouldn't be surprised if there were closet GNR fans at the AC/DC forum...and maybe women lurking instead of posting? I thought it was kinda sweet that at the bass nerd's forum they have a thread for LGBTQ bass players. They seem very chilled and mellow there. That's bass players for you I guess. Somebody of them must lurk here (or somebody from this thread is a traitor ) because I came across a couple of my gifs on the ACDC forum some time ago . The same goes for the Czech fan forum where a report from me and @Lumikki talking to Beta about Axl was shared. (So, hi lurkers ) @money honey Enjoy the show!!! I still am a little bit hungover after mine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Slash's musician's heart belongs to Axl though. Even in the feud days after CD came out he said it was 'fucking great' to hear Axl's voice again. Who on earth could say that of Myles?? I wonder if Slash looked for a replacement Axl (even if subconsciously) in the same way Axl was looking for a replacement Slash? That's one thing that the 'he-who-shall-not-be-named on the other GNR forum said that stood out as interesting: that in Buckethead Axl thought he'd finally replaced Slash and was absolutely devastated when Bucket did his Bucket thing and ran off. The closest Slash ever got to finding a vocalist approaching Axl territory was Andrew. I think Slash got fed up with depressive Axl, obsessive Axl, procrastinator Axl of the mid-late 90's and needed to get away from him for a while. No, I don't think Slash looked for a replacement Axl... except that maybe Axl and Scott Weiland were closer in atittude than Axl and Myles..... Slash needed a strong personality for Velvet Revolver but for his solo efforts I think he prefers someone of a lower profile like Myles, a calmed, down to earth guy who's there just for singing and not for being the rock star because Slash is the rockstar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone already has?? Im at the gate in Buffalo!!! Queueing in the heat. Soundcheck on now! Lol, I don't know about a thesis (although I think that in America they do theses on everything you can imagine). I have seen essays, not on their history, but on their cultural impact etc. Their story would make a great movie though (with a good screenwriter and director) or even a TV series (it could have several seasons, lol). It has everything. I'm surprised that no big producers and directors have grabbed it yet. Have a great time at the show! 3 hours ago, Georgina Arriaga said: I enjoy reading them, I must say they suffer worst than we here...at least sometimes we have Instagram of Axl's people and Meegan and Susan, they have nothing!!! and to be honest....to be in that limbo of your favourite band would be difficult (we will be at that in november...) Yes, we complain that they keep us in the dark about their plans, the circumstances under which the reunion happened, why Izzy/Steven are not involved etc, but for AC/DC fans this has been the case all along. Nothing about the inner workings of the band ever came out. Of course there has been no drama for them until recently, but now with what happened with Brian and everything else they are all speculating, like we do, without having a clue. Someone in their forum posted a recent Phil Rudd interview where he talks about other members and former members, and they say that it's the first time someone from the band talked openly about these things, the relationships etc. 2 hours ago, MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle said: But I was under the impression those two didn't get along? I've seen few interviews now where Slash has said how difficult he was, what with all his troubles, and his ego etc He did say he got along with him better once he wasn't in a band with him anymore. Yes, and also never talked emotionally about him. Scott said that his relationship with Slash was never more than professional and that the only one he was close with was Duff. I think Slash never really liked Scott much, although when VR started he was saying things like "Scott is a better friend than Axl"; and probably he didn't like STP (he has never mentioned them among the 90s bands he liked). But, like @killuridols said, he (and Duff) wanted a singer with personality; and, I'd add, an established name, since VR was an ambitious project and they wanted it to be big. I didn't like STP, but I saw him with VR and I think he was a very good frontman. 1 hour ago, Andy14 said: Somebody of them must lurk here (or somebody from this thread is a traitor ) because I came across a couple of my gifs on the ACDC forum some time ago Yes, I remember seeing one of your gifs - someone had open a thread with it! ------------ RE: Myles. To me he is the equivalent of, say, Bumblefoot. Both nice and likeable guys, good singer and guitarist respectively, but... nothing inspiring.

Sorry to interrupt, but I think I read somewhere in the forum in some thread that they were gonna make a movie of GNR with Marc Canter´s boook... And I think I also read Slash saying he didn´t want a movie of them, because it would be just actors and no real musicians... was that true? do you guys know anything about it?

Yes, I've read about that movie too. Marc said he was talking with a director, but then it was dropped, I don't know why. Biopics of this kind are rarely good though. It could work only with a great director, and a good screenwriter with deep knowledge of their story. And yes, Slash said he didn't want a movie. I'm sure Axl would be totally against it and he would try to prevent it. Edited August 16, 2017 by Blackstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would cringe if I had to watch that harry styles kid playing Axl or will smith´s son as Slash It would end up as some of those lifetime movies...

MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Oh God, I don't want them to make a movie. No one will get it right. They'll want to make a mindless summer blockbuster aka a tentpole film and attract as wide a demographic as possible like the superhero films. It needs to be approached in an indie way, the same way Guns approached the band: honest and unapologetic and fucking rated R like it deserves to be. Hollywood will want to sanitise it. Only consolation is that Logan was finally made the right way and rated R (think it was 15 in the UK) and it made shitloads of money, so there's a bit of a precedent there.

MillionsOfSpiders Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 How can they do a movie without any of the original five having any input? Would that be a bit of a downer for you? It would for me, I would probably still watch it if it came out, but really I don't think they should make it if the people who it is about don't want it to be made.
