Gimpy Hewitt Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 https://youtu.be/_cL2clqglYk I’m not sure if this has been discussed before, but at 4:10 Paul is answering a question about stage presence, and to me it sounds like he’s taking a shot at Axl. What are your guy’s thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Considering this interview was hot off the grunge era of the 90's, he's likely just making a broad statement about the popular bands at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wasn’t sure about that or not but with the conflict of the band and Paul before I was thinking this could be a straight shot at him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) This was a long time ago, and who knows who he was talking about, but he has always been a fucking dick. I read his book, he has been in therapy for years for his "sensitivity and control" issues. Edited April 16, 2018 by Tourettes2400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to what KISS need to do with stage craft to maintain a following, I could see the painted and stilettoed band mate of a tongue-clipped, blood spitting pyro to consider Axl to lack stage presence. Especially given the grudge. Axl was dressing in shorts and flannel and surrounding himself with blind melon and Sound Garden on their last tours. I agree it was far more likely to be a shot at shoe gazing grungers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought from what he said about “flannel shirts and shorts” that it was a shot at Axl. To me that was sort of a good representation of what Axl always wore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Flannel shirts and shorts were more associated with Grunge 90s people like Eddie Vedder and Cornell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepsun Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 He was supposed to produce AFD I believe, but GNR didn't want him. Probably was still sour about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably was still sour about it. according to Slash: "He had come around to produce Guns N’ Roses way back in the day, before we actually made the first record. And at some point, we decided we didn’t… We never actually were interested in working with him. But we sort of had him come around because he was [drummer] Steven Adler’s hero.” Read More: Slash Explains Former Rift With Paul Stanley | http://loudwire.com/slash-explains-rift-with-paul-stanley/?trackback=tsmclip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBucky Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Gene Simmons used to say the same thing in interviews, it's a shot at grunge bands, not Axl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
