madison Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Somebody sent me a teaser for an upcoming issue (Jan. 1) of Thrasher magazine. I'm not sure if this is a joke or what. But here's what the teaser said:Guns 'N' Roses album gets Ellington's help. 1 January 2007ThrasherCopyright 2007 High Speed Productions, Inc. All rights reserved. After eight years and millions of wasted dollars, Guns 'N' Roses' unreleased album Chinese Democracy (thought to be the biggest debacle in music history) got a lift when a fed-up Erik Ellington handcuffed himself to Axl Rose and made him finish the entire album in two days. I don't know if this is a joke or what. Is Ellington a GNR fan? So, I was wondering if anybody is familiar with this magazine, and if so, have they seen this article?

Jackamo! Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Erik Ellington is a crazy motherfucker. It wouldn't surprise me.EDIT: Oh and he even had a Guns N' Roses themed skateboard before. Putting those 2 things together, I think this might be true. As crazy as it sounds.

Powerage5 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Yea, Ellington is a huge GN'R fan. He's had several deck designs that are GN'R themed and he had the Hollywood Rose version of Reckless Life in his part in Baker 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
