NeonKinight Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I was reading Chinese Whispers I couldn't help but notice how many times Axl's press releases are mentioned there."Now whether or not Paul was going to be officially on the album or on the tour that really wasn't an actual consideration at the time. It was in the air as a possibility." (Axl, press release, 08/14/02)" ""On break from Guns N' Roses until September, [...] Stinson is currently putting the finishing touches on 16 new songs for an upcoming solo record. Primarily recorded over two months in a studio owned by friend Charles Thompson (aka Frank Black), [...] the untitled album is currently being shopped to labels." (Press release, 06/27/03)" ""During his tenure with the band Buckethead has been... creating uncertainty and confusion and making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals and live plans with confidence." (Axl, press release, 03/30/04)" There are other examples, such as this : "....Rose responded with the following press release. "Recent media reports that Slash is claiming that he has always been supportive of Axl Rose and the new Guns N’ Roses. Slash’s actions in recent years have in fact been anything but supportive. Besides the lawsuits filed against me, claiming, among other things, that I do not own the copyright to the songs that I co-authored with my former Guns N’ Roses band mates, Slash has continually made negative and malicious statements about me in order to garner publicity for himself [...]" Is there anywhere we can read these press releases in full? Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Axl, press release, 03/30/04)" Pot meet kettle. I mean bucket head didn’t stop the album coming out until November, 2008 and he wasn’t delaying going on stage which has conveniently been fixed. Also, we know that rehearsals aren’t something axl does/ or did with any degree of regularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Fan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Interesting reading about Slash being supportive of the CD band from this interview in 2000, Slash lights another cigarette. Its embers shine brightly in the darkening night air. « I wouldn’t quit what I’m doing now to go back to Guns for any amount of money », he says. « It’s not about the money. » Is it really Guns N’Roses without him in the band? He thinks for a moment. « I can’t answer that. I just wish the fucker would get the fuckin’ record out so I could see why he took something so cool and systematically, destroyed it. I want to hear where he was headed, and what he was trying to communicate that none of us in the band could relate to. » 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was bullied by Tommy (which is totally shameful), didn't want to be associated with riots, and was an artist who simply wanted to release music...
