Controversial question....what is your side of the story of Slash being rejected from the House Of Blues show in Vegas?
#32 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose/Dexter forum chat discussion thread » 862 weeks ago
I'd still like to know his thoughts on the Illusion albums, looking back. They spawned what many consider to be some of the greatest GN'R songs ever, yet at the same time it's not as revered as Appetite.
I agree would love to hear his thoughts on these too!

He must be getting addicted to talking about the saga on forums as we are. Can't wait till he starts speculation and discussing rumours haha.

Also, was looking over GnREvolution's discography of unreleased songs from 1998 onwards - looks like this Kerrang paragraph was bogus.
Over the next 12 months, the band apparently recorded 30 songs for the album, continually reworking them. Tracks recorded were said to include ‘Prostitute’, ‘Cock-A-Roach Soup’, ‘This I Love’, ‘Suckerpunched’, ‘No Love Remains’, ‘Friend Or Foe’, ‘Zip It’, ‘Something Always’, ‘Hearts Get Killed’ and ‘Closing In On You’. Depending on who you believe, they veered from techno-industrial rock to old-style Guns sleeze. Matt Sorum revealed Axl’s love of samples and loops; contrarily, Chris Vrenna stated, "I have a feeling it’s gonna be more like Appetite, than anyone is expecting." (Kerrang! August 21, 1999)
All the songs mentioned exclusively have just been ruled out as songs. Only This I Love and Prostitute but they were mentioned repeatedly before then. Not surprising, as some of them titles are rediculous.
You could argue that some of the song titles have changed - but all of them? Besides, its clear from what Axl said that those songs never existed.

I like meeting all kinds of fans but after a show (I realize that's the only time some may feel they have an opportunity but w/the exception of close friends around...) not to be offensive but I'm generally not looking forward to walking off stage to hang with guys whether they're fans or not. I deal with Guns all day every day so coming off stage to talk about the band is just like more of the same. Unless there's pressing business I wanna forget that till it's time to go at it again the next day. And people may enjoy meet and greets and have their reasons why it meant a lot for them which I respect but overall charging fans for it I thinks disgusting of bands. Now if they did it for free to winners of a contest etc that would be different. Charging is lame. How to meet bands? Maybe try to hang out places u might hear they do sometimes.
A definite diss towards Velvet Revolver and their expensive vip passes.
I can't believe how much rumours and other stuff have been cleared up in the last day or so! Incredible! And Axl seems so nice and patient. If he had been like his reputation in the media, he would have ran as soon as that guy started arguing with him on MyGnR when Dexter first made an appearance (although I think don't think the guy knew it was actually Axl and thought it was somebody acting as him).

Check this out:

The General is a nick name or character of Jackie Chan
Haha genius - it was like a riddle from Axl and you solved it! Why were people so sure it was No Love Remains anyway - that was totally an unfounded rumour.
One thing - in Shacklers he is criticising the media for trying to make a big deal out of the guys love for Mr. Brownstone, however in Catcher In The Rye he criticises Salinger for inspiring the murder of Lennon. Ironic? He at least admits its possible for art to inspire murder.
Lol @ the guy who said Axl captured the mood of the book perfectly - clearly that wasn't his intention.
These lyrics seem particularly damning toward the book and Salinger:
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body took a body
And Gave that boy a gun
His replies are getting much more in-depth now.
Presumably this is one of his favourite books that he mentioned and that is the same name as a new as-yet unreleased song.

-First two questions have been answered!
Have you ever browsed any gnr forums in the past or posted anonymously? Which ones?
Buckethead's There Was A Time solo is the best solo ever. What is a moment of inspiration or is there more to it? What did you think when you first heard it.
#38 Re: Guns N' Roses » Questions for Axl if he visits GN'R Evolution » 862 weeks ago
Is Paul Tobias still a member of GNR?
Was there a working title for Shackler's Revenge?
Will Chinese Democracy get a re-release next year? If so, any bonus tracks to be included?
Will the setlist be dominated more by new material on the next tour?
He sort of answered the first question:
Quote from: sakuL on Today at 05:38:33 AM
alright than ... nevermind anything I've sent
this is my question:
- is the band still in contact with Paul Huge? Any more future plans with him? Guest apperance on tour maybe?
Paul helps out all the time and is on a lot more material. Paul helped get a lot of the base credits etc together which were extensive. He's always had a good memory on that stuff and it's generally important to him to be as ethical as he's capable which is invaluable.

Brilliant q & a session, never thought this would never happen - some answers were very vague - notably why there there was no promotion.
#40 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL Posting on GNR Forums! » 863 weeks ago
KV just pointed out twice to the high horsed jarmo that nobody but him knew the story of the booklet.
I like the sound of checkmate being really called "Jackie Chan", it has the ring of another song that Buckethead played a big part in, seeing as he loves his martial arts.
Hes obviously joking - Checkmate was a rediculous enough title so he changed it to another rediculous title. As part of it has leaked he wouldn't want to give away the real title of the song. At least he ruled out No Love Remains as the title of the song (where did that rumour come from anyway).
