Not really interested in a fabricated romance between these guys, but what happened in terms of the band because axl had already screwed Slash on sympathy for the devil. p.s that's not flirting, at all Slash didn't leave the band until a few months after the summer of 96. He was still a member of GNR when he recorded with Snakepit (and continued to argue with Axl over Snakepit demos,or there was tension at any rate). Slash was on a sort of 'trial period' or a temporary contract for a year prior to that, to see how things played out (the Goldstein influenced renegotiated contracts happened Dec 30th 95 - that's when Axl legally owned the name). For a year, they tried, on and off, to make it work - so they were very much speaking, or trying to; they were supposed to be working together. Slash and Duff were actually productive that year, they wrote a lot of songs (interesting that in this interview, or maybe it was Part 1, Slash says 80 songs and he includes Axl in that) yet Axl hadn't put lyrics or melodies to any of them (he was in the midst of his creative crisis). This would be the 96 recordings sessions that Axl had to scrap because Slash wasn't 'playing nicely' i.e.. he was 'holding down the material' according to Axl, who, after the first demos debacle, had basically come round to the idea of trying to work with Slash instead of against him, but it was too little too late. I didn't think they did as many as 80 songs though! I thought it was about 20 or so. @Blackstar might know more about this? But look, the video was just something I thought people would be interested in, the Slaxl is a lighthearted running joke around here, that's all. The flirting comment was meant to be taken lightly. And @janrichmond He is hot in this vid, I thought you'd appreciate it. Edited October 22, 2017 by MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pishy Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 @MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle I know slash left officially in 96, but the snakepit material was supposed to be used for GnR and I imagine that pissed axl off. Axl had also been trying to strongarm slash and bring him into submission with his kid games. Whatever the terms were , they clearly were not good ones otherwise there would be no need to have some sit down. And reading between the lines of what slash is saying, it was pretty bad. The way he later described the split was "less than harmonious" , that's just how he talks, neutral diplomacy. Doesn't mean that the severity is conveyed by his choice of words. The sit down seemed to be more of axl wanting slash to listen to all his complaints before kicking him off the ledge. Who knows, none of us , that's for sure. It just looked like these 2 had done some planning to take over GnR, the whole trying to demote Izzy and then ended up screwing each other over . Pretty lame all around .

He's smiling a lot, being goofy, he jokes on stage many times with Duff and Slash. Maybe the reason why he has changed is the age thing. He simply grown up. I wish he'd lay off alcohol too. Aint good for his voice. I hope he's found inner peace . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Politania Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 10 hours ago, MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle said: I know what you mean. It's hard to explain isn't it? I think he always had the tendency to be goofy - it comes out a little bit in old interviews, very rarely on stage though. I think maybe that part of him has just...come out more...for want of a better phrase, as he's gotten older? They say that, don't they, that your quirks and funny ways get worse as you get older? LOL But I've just been watching a NuGuns gig at House of Blues 2001 and Axl is depressing the audience in between songs with tales of political woe and ramblings about China in that weird disjointed voice he sometimes puts on when he wants to make a serious point, you know that one? So maybe funny, goofy is better! Edit: posted right after you - yeah, meds did cross my mind... Just to clarify, I'm not sure what Andy mean by the emoji, but I don't personally find anything odd about him in that gif?? I'm talking about his behaviour in general though... I dont see anything wrong in that giff. I love the way he's right now. Would fans really want to see same Axl as in 90's? Moody, agressive, wild? Remember waht he said in Chinese exchanged: we were young and wild. Maybe he simply grown up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl`s BFF Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd rather see Axl having fun than throwing a strop I'm sure when they had meetings about the tour both duff and slash would have brought the subject up of his behaviour from the last time they toured no one wants to see a 55 year old having a temper tantrum ❤ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post money honey Posted October 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2017 About the Axl meds question: just like to remind that taking prescribed meds for mental health issues is not a bad thing. There's no need to be concerned for Axl if that's what he's doing under medical guidance. The opposite, in fact: it's cause to be glad for him because he's dealing with his health issues (and mental health issues are just health issues like any physical problem) in a responsible way. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm torn between "I'm glad he's happy and goofy" and "I'm glad he looks happy but something feels off about him". Something about goofy Axl creeps me out. Always has. Am I being the only one with that impression? Edit: Dangling feet Axl did touch me but still I felt odd about it. Just to clarify. As I said I'm torn between those two feelings. No. I feel the same as well. Although I'm not torn about feeling glad for him. I just don't believe that act he puts on so I'm not happy about that. It is very odd for me to see such a huge personality change. He wasn't like this a couple of years ago. Not talking 90s here. He was ass face for most of the nuGuns era. So I don't know what happened..... Whatever it is, meds or just life, I find it odd and unnatural and because of that I hardly ever find the things he does "cute" or "cool" or a reason to celebrate them. Im eager for this tour to end and I wanna see what's next and how this act turns up to be from then on.

I honestly think this is the last time we'll see this version of GNR. IF they release new music (big IF) then maybe things will change but i can't see Slash sticking around to keep repeating the same set over and over again. The only way otherwise is if next year we have AC/DC for Axl and SMKC for Slash then 2019 another tour with GNR. I think we also have to consider that Axl does sound pretty shit a lot of the time and the next AC/DC run could finish his voice off forever, it certainly didn't help him much last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm still hopeful for new music. They don't have to make it such a big deal if they don't want to, they could just put out an EP or something on iTunes...even something for Nighttrain members like what many bands do. There's heaps of different options for them to still produce something new and please fans (and stay somewhat relevant) whilst fitting in their various side projects (which I don't think are anywhere near as worthy of their time as GNR, but hey...that's me being a greedy fan. I'm trying to be more accepting of the side projects lately. I guess it's a matter of how badly they want to make new music together. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. But one thing is for sure, their window of opportunity is small and getting smaller as time goes on. Axl's voice, even for the studio, is not going to be fit for purpose for much longer. The original five are miraculously still alive... This is their last chance to make the most of the opportunity they have been given. I think they'd be fools to pass it up, but those guys never did do what was expected of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
