Macho Vidal Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) The Duff quote intrigues me like none other in the band for sometime. If correct, he is the last gnr member to use the word “soon.”. When he played Hardskool on his sirius xm show the week it dropped, he commented on it like a gag order had just been handed to him. Something like “That’s that , so….” This week he volunteers info (albeit a nugget) to a reporter about gnr’s imminent future plans? Who is the author of the article? Does the journalist have credibility in Germany? Is his email listed below the article? Maybe he would respond to a question. My question would be “why was your article deleted three days after you published it?” Edited July 8, 2023 by Macho Vidal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blackstar Posted July 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2023 22 minutes ago, Live Like a Suicide said: As for the article, it makes little sense to remove the entire thing rather than deleting the one part about Duff's comment and writing an edit note at the bottom of the article indicating what was changed. Unless GNR requested its entire deletion, I don't see why that wasn't done. That puzzles me, too. It really doesn't make sense. Unless the editors of the magazine were so pissed off when they were asked to edit out the quote from Duff (which was an exclusive for them) that they decided to delete their (positive) review of the Frankfurt show as well. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronartest2004 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I remember back in the MSL days he said something about getting a call from Beta and she was saying something about “you all are going to drive him crazy (meaning Axl), you all demanding new music” It’s been years ago so I’m sure the quote is off but it was definitely about the fans and new music. And if history has proven anything every other member and ex member of the group has had no problems releasing new music on a regular basis. Definitely not on the level of their gnr releases but nonetheless new music. And Axl has released OMG, CD, Hardskool, & Absurd. 17 tracks since 1999. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blackstar Posted July 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2023 It reminds me of when Susan and Meegan shared clips from the soundcheck of Hard Skool and then deleted them (until Slash himself shared it and it stayed up). Maybe Axl suffers from some sort of PTSD after the experience with CD, so he gets anxious at the thought that even the smallest piece of information that could make the fans impatient might get out there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case, then I really feel bad for Axl. I’d rather him be in a good mental state, even if that means no more new music. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I am kind of curious how much of the militant approach to this is truly Axl and how much of it is Team Brazil behind Axl's back. Like personally I find it more plausible that TB made them take down Duff's interview more than Duff himself who gave the interview, or Axl Why? I dunno, but TB also really was dead set against working with the fanbase at the height of the Youtube takedowns and whatnot 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I doubt Axl is aware of much of this, probably Duff and Slash too and they probably wouldn't care anyway. My guess it's TB being overly cautious. I wonder if the bad glasto review stuff may have re-soured them on media a bit also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post allwaystired Posted July 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2023 Madness. I wonder if Duff is aware of the article being deleted? I also wonder if anyone in management 'has a word' with him. Difficult to see how he wouldn't be pissed off with being told what he can and cannot say in his own band. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree, and I don’t wanna jinx it, I don’t think they’ll ever leave again. I think they’re too old to care, so they’ll just deal with this bullshit until the band is over. That said, IF they do leave again, it’ll 100% be cause of TB. I have a feeling Bumble’s departure also had partially to do with TB. Back on topic: I think the story of Beta telling MSL “stop talking about new music or else you’ll drive Axl crazy” is probably true. It sounds eerily similar to that one time in 2006 when Baz told Axl “it’d be great if you got the album out this year man” and then Axl flipped out on him. New music is definitely a sore subject for Axl. Edited July 8, 2023 by rocknroll41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 If they dont start to write together, or if they try and it doesn't work and they get frustrated then I would expect Slash would leave like he did before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. He has to pay Perla $100,000 a month until she dies. He’s not going anywhere. Plus, last time, Axl interfered with Snakepit, whereas nowadays he lets SMKC do whatever they want, pretty much.
