"from an ex bbf friend" posted on gnfnr.com
Posted Today, 11:09 AM
1) Technically, there is no "Alex". Alex = Bumblefoot most of the time and sometimes one of his PR people. There is a guy called Alex and he would identify himself as that when asked, but most of the replies from "Alex" are from Bumblefoot.2) Bumblefoot is a member on many Guns n Roses related message boards, for many years under different names. His accounts have hundreds and some thousands of posts. Easy to find him, the ones who mainly promote Bumblefoot and open threads about him and his solo efforts or attack people who critisize Bumble. He is highly technical and computer savy, he knows how to hide his tracks and uses different way of typing etc., in the details he is advanced. He also has a dozen relatives/family working for him doing the exact same thing.
3) He also has multiple accounts on sites like Youtube, Blabbermouth, Harmony Central, different guitar message boards, etc., to counter comments or promote himself.
4) He is more obsessed than Axl even when it comes to opinions of people about himself or his guitar work.
5) He spends on average more than 8 hours a day behind the computer being busy with that stuff alone. This excludes emails, friends, etc.
6) He is a fraud using Guns n Roses for his own career and the money, he loathes Guns n Roses music, he ridicules Axl and Axl's voice, talks shit about Guns n Roses fans and more. This all he does openly when amongst relatives/family/friends (which I was one of), especially when he has had a few drinks he tells exactly how he feels about it all.
7) He thinks DJ is a "no talent faggot taking more than he deserves, he should keep to taking it in the ass as he is used to". Tommy is "an alcoholic turdface who needs to shut the fuck up and fuck off to his own shitty band". "Fuck Buckethead and his chicken gang raped mom". Finck he thinks was "hilarious, why did he even pick up the guitar in the first place, try another instrument". "Axl is the biggest fucking loser I have ever met, who the fuck does this queen think he is? He can't even sing properly anymore without all these high tech effects he is using live constantly". "Axl's rasp is an added effect that kicks in, it is not his real voice, he's a joke". "Slash is a boring guitarist and people love predictable shit like he plays". "You need to have brains to get my music and guitar playing". "I get paid shit loads of cash playing dumb shit to dumb people, love it". And so forth.
8) At the moment he is a non active member of Guns n Roses. He is not fired yet, but he is not getting paid and his services are not wanted and he is not being informed about what is happening in the band. Now you know why he does not answer anything about Guns n Roses. So the last few months he is in high gear to promote himself and his own solo career to milk the last out of his relation with Guns n Roses. He can be hired back if Axl changes his mind, but Axl sees through his bullshit too now. If he takes him back it is because there was no other option.
Yea right. Whoever made this shit up is pathetic and needs to get a life.

Stupid.
I thought you were supposed to confirm or deny what you saw and give us some info. Now you're just playing the same stupid game MSL does.
Couple of jagoffs, both of you.

OR was really uncomfortable here, he kept joking around to avoid the point.

It's all about playing the percentages. If someone has a great background, I'm still going to call them to find out what their story is and hope that they have a good explanation for it. It is very, very true that if you want a job, there's a job for you. It may not be the job you want, but there are tons of jobs out there. If you're not working (and you don't have a legitimate reason such as health issues or family issues), then you're not really interested in working unless it's exactly the job you want at the amount of pay you want...
It's easy for somebody to take anecdotal evidence and then apply it to everybody else. This is not how life works however; one size does not fit all. Unfortunately I read it all too often online: "Well I was able to, so obviously then everybody else should to."
I watched a lot of people lose their jobs in life. One friend lost his about a year ago and was employed shortly thereafter. He's in this mid twenties, white, and good looking. Soon after, he posted on FB how if anybody really wanted a job, they get one. After all he'd lost his job and now landed an even better gig. I had to remind him that it's much easier to get a job when you're young, good looking and white. Lose your job when you're 53 yrs old and see how "easy" it is.
It's easy to tell a alcoholic to quit drinking when you're not a drunk. Easy to tell somebody who is dirt poor to get an education and pull themselves up by their boot straps when you've never experienced the endless cycle of poverty. The lack of empathy in this country is not only naive, but short sighted and disappointing.
I'm watching people on unemployment who have their benefits run out, still not be able to get a job and eventually lose their home to foreclosure. Are we really to believe that they'd rather lose their home rather than take some job that is below them?Other families forced to get their meals from the food bank because they have no money for groceries. Are we to believe they'd rather do this because they feel a job is below them? Surely you jest.
You're also forgetting that not all people have the skills that require them to even look for a job. There is a type of tenacity that exists that drives certain people. Obviously not everybody has this, people become depressed, people aren't sure where/how to start. People are overwhelmed. Not everybody thrives when a crisis hits, many actually fold. It's not some easy formula that anybody can apply, nor does it mean they are lazy.
To try and paint your experiences as the sole truth for everybody else is a dishonest argument, unrealistic, and void of compassion.
#2635 Re: The Garden » Help wanted — jobless need not apply » 757 weeks ago
You'd be wrong. Anybody can get a job, but many won't settle for less financially or in title/responsibilities than what they think they are worth, which is fine if you can live with the consequences of that. Others are lazy and choose not to work at all. Both of those are not attractive options from an employer's point of view.
Sure thing. What do you base this on? What data? Your own opinion I'd imagine. I guess you missed the 60 minutes piece on the unemployed. There were people out their hustling to get work, trying everything they could and they couldn't get a call back. And those were the people who had it in them to look, had the street smarts and were able to get out the door and shake the tree.

I think Axl's been watching Billy Madison too much.. enemy list? is he fucking 12 years old?
I don't believe the list is real for a minute.
#2637 Re: Guns N' Roses » 101 Document Titles From Axls Laptop (No Actual Documents Tho) » 757 weeks ago
So did this guy lose his 200 bucks or what? Have we heard from him? Will he be on a milk carton soon?
Concert was great btw...and Axl could have taken notes. It was a tight ship, with bands on very promptly. Hell Ozzy was done before Axl would have even made it out on stage.

Honestly, IMO a true fan would not post a YouTube video threatening the band if they don't reveal their plans by date X, nor would a true fan attempt to profit off of stolen information from the band that landed in his lap. I'm sorry, but that is not the behavior of a fan but of an attention-seeking, self-centered opportunist.

No doubt. Assuming he has something, he's nothing more than an opportunist and attention whore.
If his shit is legit or not, I'm still guessing that guy will be out 200 bucks tonight, lol.

If you're not working for an extended period of time, that's a you problem.
In this economy I don't agree with that for a second...
