Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
I seriously didn't plan on or expect the overwhelmingly positive response and public support for my decision regarding the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. With such a generous outpouring of solidarity from fans, media outlets, writers and other artists, I'm truly humbled, blown away and unbelievably relieved!
What the hell is he talking about? He's being ripped by the fans.
well, in general a negative person will complain in the easiest way possible.
someone with an attempt to reach out to axl in this situation may pick up the phone or send an email or message via website, etc. you wouldn't hear about those. the supporters may also go unnoticed because everyone is a hard ass online. having said that, i am sure the overwhelming majority stance is the obvious one.
Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
Thanx for posting Russ!
I kinda liked this part!
ANOTHER statement from Axl:
...Now that the smoke's cleared a little, any desperate, misguided attacks have been just that, a pathetic stab at gossip, some lame vindictiveness, the usual entitlement crap, he's obsessed, crazy, volatile, a hater. I once bought a homeless woman a slice of pizza who yelled at me she wanted soup. We got her the soup. You can get your own.
Seems to me some people and (some) fans should go get THEIR soup!
Also liked the closing bit!
...Unlike my open letter to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Guns N' Roses Fans and Whom It May Concern this was written for GNR's official website, Facebook account and my personal twitter account and not intended as a press release. If anyone does choose to pick this up as has been done previously I'd appreciate if you'd run in full including this paragraph so as not to give a partial picture, have things taken out of context or to imply or inadvertently give the impression this was intended for other outlets.
Thanks in advance. Peace-

Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
Axl felt the anger and hatred and wanted to explain his motives...but he hasn't. I don't get it. He's very careful to be civic, but still says nothing. The 'congratulation to the other artists' sounds still disturbing to me. He could have thanked the other ex-members and the others. Maybe it's just me, but why he didn't say (in the first place) that 'This is my past. Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven, Matt and Dizzy..we had a helluva band. Thanks for the great times, but my present and future is DJ, Ron, Tommy etc. I don't have any interest to revisit my past, it'd be too painful for a lot of reasons, so I'm not going. Thanks again and enjoy the show'. Or whatever. But it's clear that the HOF still bugs him.

Jarmo cleared HTGTH then Beta let Axl take a look at the 'fans' comments'.

Great post, War!

Yes, because standing on the outside looking in, not knowing what's going on behind the scenes, it's easy to cast a judgement that suits you.
