Towelie Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Was it just me or did Slash's playing sound kinda sloppy in this ad? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Saul in a bank commercial makes lots of sense. Guy never had integrity and is not likely to develop any now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cosmo Posted July 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2022 Some people are acting like Slash and the musicians in GnR are low-profile, highly artistic artists like King Crimson or something. You’re talking about a dude who played with Fergie and Rihanna, had a Guitar Hero avatar, is basically a pop culture household name like Hulk Hogan or Mel Gibson and has been a one-trick pony musician for most of his career. In other words, settle down… Slash never “sold out” because he was always a product. And that doesn’t matter at all. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the commercial and I couldn't care less that he did a commercial. But how is this where you draw the line? As if the guy who played the superbowl with Fergie in a bedazzled top hat, has done songs with plenty of rappers and pop singers, done several other commercials, sitcoms, video games, and joined NuGNR, hadn't already sold out. This really is too much 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I for one hope they all do bank commercials and get a shitload of money so they can drop the nostalgia act and maybe focus on composing 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Guns N' Roses had a song on the soundtrack to a Terminator movie 30 years ago. I love that people think doing commercials is somehow at odds with the band's history. They haven't really been "the most dangerous band in the world" since the day the DJ decided to turn over the single and play Sweet Child for the first time. They're a commercial force, and have been for almost my entire lifetime. Just not a big deal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about M....... I don't know how he gets along with women, but it seemed like a pretty specific thing that set him off. At the time there was some confusion about whether fans were allowed to wear Slash t-shirts to nuGNR shows. Madison was one of the people insisting that anyone wearing Slash shirts had to turn them inside-out, or they weren't allowed into the show. Obviously, that pissed Axl off, so after a while he posted that rant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, they'd gone back and forth a couple of times before that post, she was antagonizing, and he snapped. She really did earn it, as I recall.

I mean citi bank promotes their tours and even offers pre-sale tickets. not sure if this is actually a big deal or if people are just trolling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
