What do you mean...?
That there was nothing for Axl to react (from Slash & Co)... They didn't even mention Axl in interviews in years. Axl started (again) the name calling and bullshitting that continued with the others' lawsuit against Axl.

Venue The Vic
Setlist
Act I - Pip
Cruel
Bliss
Teenage Hustling
Fat Slut

Cornflake Girl
Liquid Diamonds
Caught A Lite Sneeze
T & Bö

I think the definitive GNR book would come from Izzy.
Agreed. If it stuck to the whole deal instead of focusing only on members who wear top hats it'd be a great read.
None of them will tell the 'ultimate story of GN'R'. I'd love to read the books of the others', too, cause it'd be interesting to know their point of view.
BTW Didn't Izzy say that Axl wrote a diary and when they met after his quit, Axl listed things he had done against him, and Izzy didn't even remember?

To me, whether its a lie or truth is beside the point. The guy refuses to move on, and will do or say anything so he doesn't have to move on.
He has great material and since 2000 had a great band. His obsession with the past is way past the point of absurdity.
Well, Axl doesn't talk about Slash all the time either. He had some bursts in the 02 period, but that is natural given the situation. And if you're referring to the 'incident' last year, well, Slash was the one who came to his house and then lied about in the press. Axl obviously felt very disappointed on how all of that turned out, although having part of the responsibility.
After all, Slash isn't the one constantly being blamed for breaking up the band. He isn't the one getting shit at his own shows. The heat has always been on Axl, so you can't really compare the two. He for sure knows things about the others which gives him another perspective on the situation, and whatever the need for moving on, I can understand how one might feel the way he does.
No. Slash went to Axl's house and ended the lawsuit with him. Then Axl puts out his two-faced press release. Very intelligent and nice move 
Well, then Slash denied that he'd gone to the house, which was a lie, but do you belive he'd say that things to a Brazilian housekeeper? Gimme a break. I'm sure as hell that the parties met and they all lie. Remember the numerous reunion rumors back then (Lars Ulrich, Ian Astbury, Mick Wall, Ross Halfin).
And why'd it be natural to talk shit about your ex-friends whil you're on a tour? All of the other guys were silent about Axl till 2003...Guess Axl's an expert in time traveling and he knew what would happen...
All of them had their parts in the break-up, but Axl can be blamed for most of it. Noone can deny that. Even he was frustrated that he hadn't (and hasn't) done jack shit without Slash & Co.
#2895 Re: Guns N' Roses » What Did You Guys Think Of This Rant...? » 919 weeks ago
Its the biggest load of horseshit in the history of the GNR universe. A critical low point in the band's history, and its no surprise that the tour imploded shortly after this rant. He was in no state of mind to be relaunching GNR. He was still obsessed with the past. Instead of releasing a new album, letting the public get to know the new lineup, and taking the first step in the trilogy, all we got was AFD and rants about the old band.
The 2002 tour never should have happened. He clearly wasn't ready, and he wasted the most potential new GNR ever had on that fiasco.
Don't forget that Axl's paranoid rant became the Bible of his nutswingers. They are repeating the same crap each day.
#2896 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose being timeless - do you agree? » 919 weeks ago
Axl's one of the greatests without a doubt. My personal favourite 
But he doesn't have the same energy on stage he used to have. Unfortunately last time I saw him was a bad day, and he wasn't good, but proved that he's still great other times.

Its not happening. Slash is making that crystal clear with this book and promo tour for the book.
I think this book is his way of permanently closing that chapter of his life.
So what's about the giant elephant turd? 
#2898 Re: Guns N' Roses » Fortus plays guitar for Enrique Iglesias » 919 weeks ago
There is a difference between being a legend or a session player. Slash is invited to make his presence felt on the song. To add something to the song. Richard is invited when they want someone who can play the chords well for the first try so they don't have to wait for the shit to get done. Different league.
BTW I'm not happy with Slash playing with that Rubio chick etc., but he did some good stuff with artists that I don't really like (like Jacko, Cypress Hill or Marta Sanchez).
#2899 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Which is your preferred choice? » 919 weeks ago
Libertad.
Contraband has more stand-out tracks, but Libertad is ther album I can listen back and forth. I don't feel the need to skip a song (well, except the ELO cover sometimes). It'd have been better with Messages and Psycho Killer though. Anyway, I think it's a great album, not classic, but quite good.

The biggest artist of today. (IMO, of course) She releases a new album in every 2 years, then does a world tour. She changes the setlist day by day. During her 2007 European tour she played like 50 concerts and the setlist varied more than 90 songs! Last but not least, she makes great music
Anyone?
