StrangerInThisTown Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Lio said: Yeah, but it also says that beyond GNR he also has collaborations with Elton John and Slash. It's nonsense. Surely no one can be that unprofessional. Well, just coincidentally, this year outside of GNR we have news of the Children of the Revolution cover coming out soon (which has Elton on it) and the Michael Schenker track with Slash Edited April 17 by StrangerInThisTown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Blackstar said: Yeah, the "explanations" of the quotes also look AI generated. Unless it's about Children of the Revolution, as both Slash and Elton are on it But even if it is AI, that quote is now on Axls official website. So it has to be connected somehow, I never heard of it somewhere else, neither does anyone so far?

I didn't say that quote specifically is fake. But the overall feeling I get when reading the quotes is that they are fake. I actually believe that whoever set up the webpage simply searched for Axl Rose quotes and added one from the page. The text on the webpage looks half finished, just look at the bio page where only Appetite is mentioned. I am sure Axl would have said something about Chinese Democracy, too.

Blackstar Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The Slash page on the same website: https://www.bookey.app/quote-author/slash None of the quotes looks familiar here, either (and they are definitely not from his autobiography). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but then the question remains where that quote comes from. It now appears on his website, but if no one even on here recognizes it, and we are all hardcore enough to post on a GNR fan forum, that is strange? So maybe it is drawn from a pool of information that is not available yet, comes directly from an official source, like Axl himself, or a book?

With the " they forgot to close Appetite, I wonder if it's just the first bit of a longer bio? Could this be just a draft someone put together for Axl or management to check and then add to or something? Someone who doesn't know a lot about Axl and just googled "quotes Axl Rose" and picked that fake one? Well, I'm assuming it's fake for now, since none of us seem to know it.

THELINESMAN Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 1 hour ago, Rindmelon said: seem legit then. If this leads to him putting out the CD leftovers as solo tracks @Sweersa head will explode. I don't expect this site to be updated often but wouldn't be surprised if we get an interview with him from Del James at some point like on the old site. interesting that it's launched now as the band are all doing there own things. Anyone got a link to this old Del James interview please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AxlRoseCDII Posted April 17 Popular Post Share Posted April 17 10 bucks says this will literally never be updated again or lead to anything. Axl starts projects, probably does put serious work on them, and then does nothing with them or it fails to materialize. This is a pattern of over 20 years and until proven otherwise I will assume nothing will change. 8 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it does, but yet no one is aware of that one, even the most hardcore fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
