When I discuss things like an adult i say stuff like this: If you're dumb enough to see the bullshit Dave spews or the childish assholes at MyGnr, you deserve the all the negativity that is going to come your way. Simply put, if you believe all that stuff, you're a dumbass and cannot be saved from your own stupidity.
Just because you dont believe or agree with it does not mean its bullshit, esp when it comes to this band, a lot of the time the hard to believe stuff always has some ring of truth to it.
The funny thing is, if Ron is fired like the rumors are at the moment, and it does come out that he was talking shit about DJ, then what? You will never say oh Dave or others were right about that, you will just act like nothing happened and never give credit to the people that were telling everyone what was really going on. Then of course the next time someone brings up something you think is BS you will just do your same childish act.
Not saying those things I quoted was legit, but as with any rumor you need to show it all, not just pick and choose what should be posted. GO go jarmos if you are into that. hell jarmo wont even allow that interview from Ron to be posted and that is from Rons own month.
Instead of crying about it and bitching and moaning that just prolongs it, why not just say, oh that sounds like BS and leave it at that?? You just like to grandstand that is your and others problem when it comes to things that are not 100% kiss ass.
Take Cramer for example, that is exactly what you should be doing.
He didint attach the messenger or cry about it.
He just called bullshit and left it at that.

Elvis didnt really co-write those songs, his manager just put his name down on them. He did not write any of the lyrics.
#693 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dj Ashba "Axl Rose Is One Of The Nicest Guys I've Met"; Video Inter » 746 weeks ago
Elvis did not "have people write his songs". He chose songs he wanted to cover based on songs that moved him. Yes, the point remains that he didn't write his own songs, but he in no way "had people write his songs"
Having said that, your talent as a performer has zero to do with your songwriting ability. And if you think Elvis didn't have a diverse catalog, you really should do more research.
Semantics, the fact remains Elvis didnt write his songs. As for being a diverse talent we are not talking about singing different styles of songs, we are talking about his talent as a musican are we not? By Elvis not writing his own songs that makes him less diverse than someone that does.
If we are just talking about performing then yes no one beats Elvis, he started it all for being a great performer but I thought we were talking about musical talent not just performing

Jacko didn't write all his stuff either.....I think Axl is as talented as Jacko but like Buzz says, throughout history , there are literally dozens more talented than both of them.
I can't put Jacko or Axl in the same category as Elvis because he was sooooo influential. His influence and voice alone way outstrip the fact that he didn't write his own lyrics.
Influence and talent are two different things. Elvis had way more influence than Axl, but overall who was more talented? Someone that sings songs written for them or someone that is a singer/songwriter?
And to the other posted, like I said Jacko didnt write all of his songs, but he did write a lot of his hits. Also Axl didnt write all of the Gnr songs either.

I dont think for a moment the band asked that interview to be taken down (unless Ron is no longer with the band), I think its jarmo just being his typical self of only allowing sunshine and tulips when it comes to talking about Gnr and Axl
#696 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal myGnRforum chat transcripts » 746 weeks ago
That is because a year or two ago they were touring, but now its been how long since they got off tour? And they dont even know when they are going back on the road, they just know there were plans that seemed to have fallen through (based on DJs comments last dec about a FEB tour) and MSL emails if those are legit.
There is only so much one can take and that is why Freese, Finck (TWICE), BH, and Brain all bailed, they got tired around of waiting
#697 Re: Guns N' Roses » BUMBLEFOOT:We Could Do More To Establish The Current Band as its own! » 746 weeks ago
Its bonkers, its a damn fine interview. He doesnt bash anyone or throw dirt or even say anything controversial, he actually stills sounds quite guarded with his comments.
Why that site feels the need to delete any mention of it is beyond me, it is sycophancy in all its glory.And this is the guy that gets invited on tour, no wonder people hate this band.
Its because he shows everything is not perfect in GNR land, and he kind of points out in a nice way the band is getting testy with Axl always being late, dragging his feet about a tour, the next cd etc.
That is why Jarmo is not allowing it.
#698 Re: Guns N' Roses » Duff McKagan Says Taking Stage With Guns N' Roses Was Meant To Happen » 747 weeks ago
CD was one of, if not the biggest album Geffen released that year. It sold over a million copies with a not so great roll out. CD II will see the light of day. UNI recouped all its money and made a profit, even though it could have made more.
How do you figure? it didnt even sell 1m in the US? And that 5m total number was a made up number, do we even know how many albums world wide CD sold? I am guessing it was closer to 3 total. That guy who quoted the 5m later admitted he pulled it out of his ass.

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.

Bumblefoot is setting everything up in such a way he can quit the band and look like the hero for doing it.
Remember this when it happens.
Everything is part of his nice-guy act he plays very well and so many have fallen for.
Axl is gonna get fucked in the ass, more than Slash did, just watch.
Ironic thing is there were 2 guitarists Axl preferred more than Bumblefoot (besides Bucket) and they both refused to be part of it and considered to be leeches.
Bumble had no problem with it whatsoever.
He knew what he was getting into and he knew it would benefit him financially and career-wise in the end when he dropped the band in a 'I did nothing wrong, it is them'-way.
So him now complaining openly the last year about things he already knew from the start is part of the game of winning souls.
It is coming.
Axl's problem is that he cannot get sincere musicians anymore (last ones were Buckethead and Brain after a lot of persuasion, but they left), because a sincere musician would not want to be in this band for money or career reasons (which are the only reasons you would now join Guns).
And you can hear this definitely live, it sounds like a really professional, musically advanced, diverse session band Rihanna would hire in for a tour.
Not an authentic Rock and Roll band, but a band that tries really hard to sound and look like an authetntic Rock and Roll band.
The people close to the band for so long, that were there for sincere reasons, have almost all left, including me last year.
It has unfortunately become a jukebox nostalgia act with session musicians because Axl made the wrong decisions concerning band members.
He made the sincere ones leave and was left over with the leeches who are not yet done with him.
For the ones in love with this charade, do not worry, they won't quit, this will go on for years to come.
