^ Agreed nothing will be able to erase those few early years from the history books and after they are all gone that period will probably only grow in stature, whilst the disappointment of the later versions will become merely a footnote.
#272 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR to perform at Golden Gods award show/ lifetime achievement for Axl » 591 weeks ago
I got to thinking about this a bit more, and isn't Axl kind of a hypocrite to accept this award when he snubbed the R&RHOF...?
I believe these were some of his comments about the HOF
I still don’t exactly know or understand what the Hall is or how or why it makes money, where the money goes, who chooses the voters and why anyone or this board decides who, out of all the artists in the world that have contributed to this genre, officially “rock” enough to be in the Hall?
This isn’t an attack. These are genuine issues I don’t have enough verified information on to have more than rough ideas. Certainly not enough information to make any judgments about.
He must have been able to resolve these issues regarding the Golden Gods thing 
IMO it's cool he getting an individual award. The award itself I would suggest is really for his time from 87-93 and VERY well deserved. However, IMO since that era he has actually tarnished his Golden God status (or whatever the fuck that award is about) rather than enhanced it.

Something about this looks fishy to me. Artwork looks bootleggish and the website looks kind of fake. I'd hesitate about signing up to that mailing list or liking on facebook until GNR confirms it is legit on their site, facebook page or twitter page
That suggests it has the touch of The Lebeis's all over it, should be safe to sign up.

Haven't you heard it? He does backing vocals.
When I heard it was a Tommy song I just figured it was like all the other shit with just the band members on it but no Axl. That sort of stuff has zero interest to me so I never listened to it.
Are Axl's backing vocals even prominent on it? If so then I will dig it up, if not then I won't waste me time.

Incest - a game the whole family can play.....
I gotta say those kids look like they just came off the set of the Twilight movies or something.
Also I don't care if her son could get a job in a gay bar pushing in stools, it still doesn't make some of those pics right.
Plus if he is gay then why was he pitching a tent in one of those photos on the beach whilst his mum played with him? I don't recall ever getting a chubby or even a half mongrel while my mum was around!
#277 Re: Guns N' Roses » IF Axl and Stephanie get married and live happily ever after....... » 592 weeks ago
Yeah it's kind of a shame when you see the pics and vids of him with Dylan. They genuinely seems connected, or at least Axl seemed to make a real effort with him.
I read where it was suggested once that when they broke up she had told Dylan that Axl had abandoned them. Yet she took out a restraining order against Axl when she left so there was no way he could even have any contact with Dylan even if he wanted to. Plus I recall in an interview post the release of Chi Dem where Axl said words to the effect that he wants Dylan to listen the album in order that he can know the whole truth about the relationship between Stephanie and him.
I have to also think the way Steph rushed into the marriage and family thing with Peter Brant must have really hurt Axl. Axl & Steph broke up in February 1993 when he accused her of cheating (with Peter Brant Sr. ), she and Axl had only been engaged for a few weeks at the time of the cheating. Stephanie’s second child (son Peter Jr), was born in December 1993. Fuck me she didn't waste any time! She basically gave Brant instantly what it appeared Axl wanted so desperately. One might suggest the gold digger saw dollar signs then opened up her legs to make sure she she secured her financial future ASAP.
But when it's all said and done I'm sure most of us have been burnt by a relationship at some time. You just gotta take it on the chin as best you can and move on. Fuck me if I was Axl I certainly wouldn't have given Steph the pleasure of continually allowing what she did to eat away at me for years. I refuse to let anyone have that sort of power over me.
#278 Re: Guns N' Roses » IF Axl and Stephanie get married and live happily ever after....... » 592 weeks ago
Interesting thoughts. Perhaps Axl was ready to settle down and do the whole family thing with Stephanie. It seems like he has always craved some type of normal and loving family structure that clearly he seemed to be lacking growing up.
Maybe in the back of his mind he thought he had found the one with Stephanie and was mentally preparing to throw his energies into that phase of life in the early 90's. Walk away at the top or at least let the band take a back seat whilst he focused on family and a relationship. But Steph apparently still seemed to be partying and fucking around, combine that with some beatings and kitty litter shitting and it all fell apart. So Axl carried on with the only thing he knew - the band. But the whole saga seemed to send him into a spiral, the band drifted apart as the UYI tour wore on and eventually fell apart. He also completely missed the boat with the whole traditional family thing both with Steph as well as any future potential bride. Instead he allowed another lecherous surrogate family to fill the void and the rest is history.
Probably a shame that he never had kids. Whilst he may make a shit husband or boyfriend I get the feeling he would have made a good dad. Perhaps having children might have given him some much needed perspective on stuff too and another motivation and purpose. As a father myself I certainly have to say it's changed the way I think about some things and changed my priorities and focus.
#279 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl explains his recent giraffe tweets » 592 weeks ago
I pretty much agree with what he said. That whole giraffe thing was a big WTF? Just bizarre!!
But on a separate note, it's still weird that he picked this thing out to tweet a long winded post about then follow up with an even longer one clarifying his position. I wish he was as conscientious about clarifying his intentions with where this band is going and new music etc etc.
