How good would it be if they all went through with the gig and just as the band go on Slash & Axl start fighting and Slash beats the piss out of him...........Now thats what i call a Rock'n'Roll reunion.
To be completely honest, I just don't care anymore. I never liked VR, Slash's record was ok at best and im not even touching Chinese Democracy... but im over this whole Will they, wont they" thing. They're gonna be like the beatles, in the sense of breaking up, and dickin around over stupid little problems till someone dies, thus making it impossible.. and then whos ever left will go "damn we should have when we could have" and i hope its Axl who gets to think that. then maybe hell put a cd out!
slash's and Axl's version of what happened is SO different. Axl says slash quit the band to save his face and started saying lies while in interviews and tried to get the whole blame on Axl.
@slimyesli yeah i doubt the whole truth will ever come out, its in both parties best interest to paint themselves as the prosecuted, so they will never admit any wrong doing on there own part. if axl ever releases that book we might get a better idea of what happened although slash's book seemed fair enough.
i like how hes dropping hints saying axl needs to pull his fucking act together like they all did their bad parts but still axl needed to show up. and he realises now its between both slash and axl thats whats holding this awesome band apart and its to bad cuz i love them both XD XD XD
slash cant be held responsible for fans disappointment...better that he quit and still be here rather than his alternative when it was boiling over, if uv read his book u'll know wat i mean
in like every interview and everything he promotes Slash always talks about GnR to promote the new thing he's doing but nobody cares for his work with fergie or libertad and everything so Slash is a victim of his previous success. he IS responsible for disappointing the fans just like how keith richards was telling him in the book
ok so considering how he said he woke up one night in the blackest of moods and wanted to snuff himself before quitting GnR the next morning, u wouldve rathered slash no longer being able to create the music he does? i personally have loved everything he's done since GnR, from snakepit mk.II to VR...pretty sure the fans wudve been more disappointed if he werent alive than the fact that he's no longer in GnR...At least he's still inspiring people
@VelvetFuckinRevolv3r What i said is still valid but yeah i agree that it sucks either way. it's a shame that drugs and alcoholism destroys band after band after band...
@thepeter Because everybody who interviews him asks him about GnR, did you even listen to this interview? He talks about this very thing. Besides why shouldn't he, after all he was in the fucking band, not to mention one of the most influencial members of the band. If you read his book, then you know why he left GnR, and with good reason. Because he was tired of Axl's bullshit. Have you ever been to a GnR concert, and wait 4hrs for Axl to come out? I have, and it sucks!
anyone who has read Slash's book can see very clearly that he used to be on heroin all the time.. As far as I consider, being late at some shows can't be mentioned on the same page with being an unreliable drug-addict with a huge ego.. and I was waiting for Axl once for 3 hours, and what? It was worth it!! It's pretty clear that Axl was the brain in the band, and he is still awesome, while VR... doesn't do much for me. Axl proved with Chinese Democracy that the band still rocks!!!
@cubancg212 Really? I seem to recall a point in time when Mick, and Kieth didn't speak to eachother, and the Stone were broke up! It took Pete Townsend to get them talking to eachother again, and the rest is history. Read Slash's book, its a good read, and he explains why he left the band. With good reason!
slash was never unreliable, he wasnt the one stalling the shows. and his drug habit never got in the way of his professionalism as a musician, when the shit needed to be done he got it done, unlike say steven who lost it all to drugs, slash kept a hold on things...but even so, wat was axl's reasoning for doing things the way he did?..nothing, which is ultimately what spelled the band's demise
@VelvetFuckinRevolv3r whatever about axl..based on interviews and tell alls. slash was way fucked up. just watch the clip of welcome to the jungle where he's so drunk he can barely play. just imagine the rest of the show! Axl for all his premadonna bull always gave a good show...when he decided not to leave.
it happened a bit, i'm not saying it was a constant. i wouldn't say rare though i'm sure over his tenure with guns it happened quite a few times. i like slash though, and for everything i said in the above he still played under some bad conditions..all self inflicted i may add.
@gnrprof Your rite he was a Junkie, but he was there at the show, and ready to play on time, and you even said it yourself they still played a good show. So his problems didn't effect the band, like Axl's did. Also if you read the book, Slash was never using Herion well he was touring, it was always when the band was off the road. Douche bag!
Maybe, but he looks rather fat around the waist nowdays. I prefere lean guys like Duff or Scott. But Slash is a cool guy, and a terrific guitarplayer, it's not a beauty contest, lol
Someone needs to get Slash and Axl in a room together then lock them in for a while. Someone thats been through it before. Like Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
have u watched that simpsons episode were they got skinner and that teacher lock up in that room and couldn't come out till everything was seatled lol but yeah if they did that i wouldn't by surprised id it turned into a boxing match while they were in there lol great idea thou :D
Why is everyone arguing?! What happened happened! It's over! Guns are probably not going to "reunite", and Velvet Revolver will still be great, and so will the "new" Guns N Roses. Also, you're arguing over the internet. That's bad.
all I care for is the music... I like velvet revolver, I like the old guns and I like the new guns....
It would be amzing if the old band would come back together... but that probebly ain't gonna happen... it's a pitty... but so what... at least they keep on making music and in the end... isn't that what it's all about?
for crying out loud... who did what and blablablablabla... I don't give a f*** ! they moved on... so why won't we?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The forced contract issue is TRUE..and just remeber...Axl is jumped and hitted a fan in a guns concert just because he was taking pictures...what kind of frontman is that??? And come on... Axl is a piece of shit..thats why they threw things at hin like in the 1992 guns concert in Argentina
the forced contract story is a lie which crumbles in the light of legal facts. no forced contract can hold up in court but the GNR contract has held up despite 15 years of litigation. proves that slash lied about the forced contract. :)
the GNR concerts in south america including argentina were some of the most successful concerts in the history of rock music. a few people threw things- not all. the majority of south american fans have been very very loyal to GNR including axl.
I just finished reading The Slash Autobiography! My jaw dropped. I cannot believe that he is still alive! I bet he knows that. Plus, the book was very very insightful of what went on in Slash's life during Guns and Roses. All the coke and heroine, he almost died. And according to the book Axl said "You gave us a scare.(Regarding Slash overdosing) We thought you were dead. I thought I'd had to look for a new guitar player."
(page 362). -I think that is really messed up, shallow and inhumane.
they did fall out. slash has admitted that during their entire libertad tour none of the other guys talked to scott making him as uncomfortable as possible. they had already decided to throw him out but werent going to tell him till the tour ended.
hardly the most mature environment within a band when youre ganging up on the frontman like that.
as for scott being strung out, slash had a major relapse himself in 2006 getting badly addicted to OxyContin.
weiland wasnt the only one with self-destructive tendencies in VR. slash himself had a big relapse in 2006. matt had his on-going battles with drugs according to weiland. the way things ended in VR was quite ugly. slash has talked about how they had already decided to ditch weiland as soon as the tour ended, they just didnt tell him and ignored him totally the whole time. this type of passive-aggressive 3 against 1 tactic of isolating the frontman was used against axl as well, i can guess.
slash plays the good guy but he's been bad mouthing axl for years. he denied having gone to axl's house for 2 years and then ended up admitting it in his book in 2007. his statements change with his convenience.
GNR, snakepit and VR broke up and each time slash painted the frontman as the bad guy. its typical.
Axl tells his side of the story in the songs on Chinese Democracy instead of showing his face on every media outlet for 15 years.
You have a point, and a very valid one at that, but there's no way I'd pin it more on Slash than on Axl.
Slash said it, he's a professional, he's not gonna wait 3 hours while Axl rolls his cornrows nice and tight. Axl has pulled more bullshit in the music world than anyone has.
Slash isn't innocent, but he's far from Axl's level.
GNR was a mutual break up (for the most part). Simply a personality conflict. VR was Weiland doing what he does best, self destructing. It's coincidence, not conspiracy
why do we have to accord blame more to one guy than the other? a personality clash happens between 2 ppl, not just one. axl comes with a lot of problems but he did do 190shows on the UYI tour and another 80 in 2006. yes, he has a big issue with lateness but similarly the other GNR guys had huge problems with drugs which are often totally ignored as an important factor by fans who point the finger only at axl. thats what i object to.
well the main reason that GN'R broke up is axl.i remember in an interview that axl's and other band members friends of the band sad that there were a lot of time that AXL forced the band members do as he would say and sign the contrate for the band's name or he would not come into the concert,and there were times were axl would have his own floor in a hotel and not even his band friends could talk to him if they wouldn't take permission from his assistance first!so there no need for other words
hearsay doesnt substitute facts. if axl had "forced" them to sign any contracts, no way would such a contract be upheld by the courts. any contract signed under duress becomes legally unenforceble. so slash's lie about the forced contract falls flat.
as for axl having a separate floor, the other guys had tongues. they should have spoken up if things went in a direction they didnt like.
is it axl's fault that slash has been in 3 bands and fell out with the frontman EVERY time?
hey first of all i didn't say that it was slash or any other band member who sad that axl forced them about the contract it was his friends watch the documentary.and second axl didn't forced them physically but mentally so the court can't make anything about that and third :the other guys had tongues???so what even if it was(but it's not)it doesn't give axl the right to act like he's a king(coz obviously he's not!!!and slash has been in 3 bands?so???it's not his foult that he wants a great band!
nopes, youre wrong. slash HAS claimed that axl forced him and duff into a contract and there are press interviews that show it.
youre obviously ignorant about the law. ANY kind of force makes a contract illegal-physical, mental, emotional etc. slash's claim is that axl used a threat. no contract made under threat can be accepted by the courts.
slash has sued axl over and over but the courts have accepted axl's legal and fair ownership of GNR name. slash's lie has been exposed.
the LOW has a lot of ways to be explained and it has its different unique way of creation in every single country but anyway u and I don't have the minimal idea what could have happend betwen those guys about the contract but i can assure u that axl is not as inoccent as u make him(it's the opositte)but how could u know how the court of slash against axl about the bands name could have been!coz to be honest our courts are not the icone of JUSTICE and every single person know that!
youre trying to make up imaginary scenarios but that doesnt change the facts here. :)
its funny to see you attack the entire legal system simply because slash's lie has been busted. let me give you some info:
steven adler sued GNR because his lawyers werent present when he signed the contract putting him on probation. he WON this lawsuit & GNR had to pay him big money. axl thought that GNR would win but they lost because the courts are not axl's slaves- they decide on the basis of facts.
and don't act like ur the big smart ass who know everything about LOW or this case so shut up coz u don't know what the judgs oppinion about slash and axl may have benn coz to be honest slash isn't that type of guy that has created a good oppinion as a person so....u and I don't have the minimal idea how the things could have been,i just sad what axl oun friends used to say abot AXL and not anything else so for the last time SHUT UP !!!!!
slash is no poor, defenseless victim who cant plead his case in court- he is a multi-millionaire who has more money than axl as a result of his Guitar Hero and other endorsements. the courts accept Axl's ownership of the GNR name because slash lied about the contract.
the judge's "opinion" is irrelevant- his judgment is what is important and that is widely known. 15 years later, it is axl who owns the GNR name.
i'll speak for as long as i want. you dont decide who gets to speak or not.
as for the idea that slash doesnt create a good impression on judges, axl has a long history of legal troubles and has lost or had to pay huge settlements in a lot of cases. so there is no argument whatsoever that slash was at a disadvantage in this regard.
as for friends saying bad things etc, slash's band members including axl, izzy, scott weiland have also criticized him so axl is not alone in that area.
thirdly, it IS the other guys mistake that they didnt speak up on issues where they disagreed with axl. youve got to stand up for yourself.
nobody said that it was "slash's fault that he wants a great band".
the fact is slash has been in 3 bands and ALWAYS developed a feud with his frontman in EVERY band- rob jackson in snakepit, axl in GNR and scott weiland in VR.
EVERY SINGLE TIME, slash has attacked his frontmen in the media, blamed them etc.
well not really. in snakepit it was slash who had problems with everybody. in GNR, izzy said that slash had a huge ego, not just axl. weiland called slash, duff and matt "frontman haters".
why always blame the frontman 100% and slash doesnt get any of the blame whatsoever?
my mother always used to say u need 2 people for a fight and that's certainly true, and that all of those guys have huge egos is definitely true. we'll never know for sure what went down but i'm sure glad that weiland is gone because i never liked his voice
well, if u had to go through what these guys went through with axl, and it costs u everything u sure as hell wouldn't put up with the same shit again in yr new band, because u'd have a much shorter fuse and tolerance for it.
thats just a convenient way of deflecting all blame from slash.
scott weiland was hand-picked by slash, duff and matt despite his addictions. they were all gaga about how much of a "gang" they were while the hits kept coming.
then libertad failed and they threw out weiland on account of his addictions. this despite the fact that slash himself had a major relapse in 2006. pretty hypocritical really.
u r taking it far too serious in my opinion. i can understyand yr point in a way though, but believe me axl initiated the whole thing. he's high maintenance everyone knows that. and the other guys r no angels neither. anyway. they're not together anymore and that's not gonna change
axl's high maintenance, sure but like i said slash has been in 3 bands and not one time could he work it out with his frontmen. obviously axl cant be blamed for things crashing and burning between slash and rod jackson/weiland.
axl didnt initiate the ridiculously destructve drug abuse in the band which helped tear it apart.
its not that i'm taking it serious. its just that everything is seen too one-dimensionally and thats unfair.
well, scott is a guy who becomes a total recluse when he's on heroin. i can send u an interview he did guitar legends #76 which was about slash. he didn't leave his house in months and the only guy he ever saw during that time was his pusher. that was b4 he fronted velvet. how can u work with a guy like that??
funny you mention that but you need to read slash's book. he mentions several periods in his life lasting months at a time when he would lock himself in his house and do nothing but heroin &have a constant supply of dealers coming in.
in 2006, he went on just such an extended period with OxyContin and his marriage almost broke up because he became disconnected from his family and life.
its the drugs that lead to the behaviour you mention & scott was by no means alone in these respects.
i own his book. the thing with slash was, that he was always able to work and record and go on tour despite the fact that he was an addict. whereas others weren't, i.e. steven adler. and there r different types of addicts, some become totally dysfunctional and others don't. so assuming that scott belongs to the first category it's no wonder they cut him off. but that's only my speculation. as i said b4, we'll probably never know
by his own admission, he was NOT functional during his addict period in VR. he was nodding out during rehersals, shooting up in matt's bathroom, everyone would go quiet when he walked into the room when he walked in because his condition was so screamingly obvious.
its hypocritical of them to pounce on scott but take a completely different approach to slash's addictions.
well, i think there must have been more to it then just weiland's substance abuse. everyone knows that slash is no angel. i'd love the guys to get back together with axl and just show it the world once more what they've got
well, thats just convenient. whenever slash falls out with yet another frontman lets always mindlessly blame the frontman and say its him! its him! what about slash's responsibility in everything?
slash has publicly attacked axl for too many years making up those lies about a forced contract. from what axl has said, its obvious that he has no trust left in slash whatsoever and so a reunion is not likely.
ok. it's all slash's fault. r u happy now? what do u want me to say man? i bleieve it was axl's fault that GNR split up the way they did. why would someone leave a band like GNR if it wasn't for good reason? u read slash's book, so u know his opinion about it. as for velvet, u haven't been there and neither have i. so u and i will never find out what happened, and it's not important either, at least not to me. fact is, scott's gone and i like it that way. i never cared for him in the first place
youre displaying simplistic thinking. its interesting that everything slash does is excused as having "good reasons" despite him not being able to make it work with any of his 3 frontmen.
neither you or i have been in GNR either but youre willing to believe slash's words 100%.
well, VR chose scott out of thousands of people and chased him around- they wanted him that bad. once the hits stopped coming of course he started looking less attractive.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
and about the contract:
would u please stop saying axl didn't forced anyone about that,coz we all know he did!!!!his friends and the ppl that were close to gn'r in the old days say that!if u don't belive about the unfamous friends than why don't u just see tom zutaut interview?????????
why wouldnt i reject the forced contract lie when its a lie? why should i stop pointing out the truth?
you have no understanding of the law. name axl's "friends" who say that axl forced slash and duff into a contract. i'll wait while you come up with concrete names. lets see how many you have. :)
tom zutaut claimed that this contract was signed before the tour started. the truth is, it was signed in september 1992 and the tour had been going on for OVER A YEAR by then. this shows that tom zutaut didnt know what he was talking about & was not a witness.
like i said, axl has lost or had relatively unfavorable judgments against him in quite a few important cases. to pretend that the courts are "on axl's side" is a joke. slash is richer than axl.
Slash's Guitar Hero franchise plis countless guest performances/ recordings plus endorsements add up to a lot. Axl has kept away from such things and put his own money into CD once the record company stopped funding it.
Axl, Slash and Duff collectively own the old songs and collectively get royalties from it. no doubt slash is richer than Axl.
in slash's book, he talks about how they all got 20 percent except axl got 25% and adler got 15%. So they all got pretty much the same amount of money from GNR stuff. BUT slash has done SO MUCH MORE than axl, in loads of guest appearances, signature guitar deals, GH3, Velvet Revolver, Slash's Snakepit, his book, he's coming out with his solo album, etc. Dang, all axl has done is GNR!
ahahha, no, my gosh did u not see the thread? We were just having a petty argument about who is richer, slash or axl. If slash was a money whore he would have stayed with guns n roses DUUUUH! He would have tried to make slash's snakepit into a proper band instead of just a jam session that made some music! I love axl AND slash (in a manly way), but if anyone is a about the money, it's axl! He was the one who demanded that adler only get 15% and axl get 25%! GNR ROCKS!!
Yea I didnt read.....sorry. If it was about who's richer I think Slash may take it slightly. I loved Slash when he was in GnR and was still really good in the Snakepit. I do however think he lost it in VR.
yeah, alot of people think that about slash and VR. Even slash's wife perla said VR isn't her husbands best work lol. I still like VR, but it's nowhere near the awesome epic-ness of GNR or snakepit! I look forward to his solo record coming out next year!
I look forward to it as well. By the looks of Slash's twitter it should be epic. I am also seeing Gun n" Roses on tour next year a well. If it's anything like the 06 show I saw.....2010 will be an AMAZING year for me.
well first of all none of us know who has more money that another!but who cares ..axl isn't poor at all...anyway about slash friends talking bad about him..what friends??!!?axl roses?!who hates him for a reason that god knows or scot who was kicked up from the band by slash and the others...of course thay won't say slash is a good person and a great guitarist!The point is that it was axl unfamous friends that sad:AXL FORCED THE OTHERS TO SIGN THE CONTRACT OR HE WOULDN'T COME OUT ON STAGE!
actually books have been written researching things like finances and duff who has investments in starbucks and microsoft is said to have more money than everybody else.
nowhere did i say that axl is poor but your laughable theory that the courts just picked on "poor old slash" is a complete joke. he is not some defenseless guy. he lied about the contract being forced and thats why axl continues to own the GNR name despite slash's propaganda. :)
it was izzy who said that slash has a huge ego & his drug use was out of control. josh todd said the same thing about his ego. scottt weiland called him a frontman hater.
if the logic is that scott was kicked out by VR so he talks bad, then similarly slash left GNR so he talks bad about axl.
again, your understanding of the law is non-existent. the contract was between slash, duff and axl. nobody else is a party to it-only these 3 guys matter and SLASH lied about the contract.
we all know how many times axl missed the shows without any good reason!!!!!so this pretty much explains everything..so u wana go on and protect axl with fake reasons than go on!i can't make anything to make u see the reality but i can't let u talk about false things...so u wana speak go on and speak somwhere else coz in here u'll know that ur not gone be aproved about what u say coz we all know the history!if u still go on in here than means that ur not just tryin to "defend" axl!
GNR did 190 shows for the UYI tour- axl performed wonderfully almost every single time and that is why he is ranked as the 4th greatest frontman in rock history.the cancellations were only a few.
actually its your reasons that are fake. you have failed miserably to defend slash's lies about the "forced contract" so you attacked the entire legal system &pretended that slash was some poor little guy that the courts mistreated. haha!
i have every right to say what i want where i want it. you failed to defend your poor argument so youre trying to compensate by name-calling. its just desperation on your part. :)
you defend slash's lie which has been publicly exposed.
axl had to pay heavy settlements in other cases-he has not been favored by the courts at all. infact he has lost important cases or had unfavorable judgments.
but in the issue of the GNR name, he has won clearly because slash's lie was so obvious.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well first of all scott was kicked out from the band,slash left the band on his own desire!second:
i never called axl a bad artist!!!!!it's the oppositte of that,i've always loved axl 4 the way that he performs and he sings!i never sad he was a lame artist,i sad he was and still is an ASSHOLE!
about the courts as i sad:we all know that they're not the icone of justice and i can't belive that ur tryng to make them LOYAL only becouse u want to blame slash!
weiland was kicked out the band under alegations of drug use and YET slash himself had a major relapse in 2006 and admits in his book that he was drugged out of his mind. hypocritical double standards and so they got rid of weiland but excused slash.
you can call axl whatever, it doesnt change the fact that slash has fueded with 4 frontmen by now- axl, rod kackson, weiland, josh todd. weiland called him a frontman hater.
your ignorance is amusing. the courts arent axl's property.
I think one of the reasons why people generally are more sympathetic towards Slash, is that he has a basic love for just going up there and play. Whilst Axl would end shows early (some rightfully so) , storm offstage, getting onstage late (that is really unforgivable) etc. With Slash, you always know that he's to deliver the goods, even if its sloppy because him being intoxicated, but with Axl, you never know what's going to happen.. I just hope they both grow the fuck up and reunite.
i dont think a reunion is going to happen at all. people like to ignore axl's side of the story altogether but he has obviously got no more trust in slash anymore with the really false and hurtful accusations that slash made of axl "extorting" the GN'R name like a criminal. nobody wants to work with somebody who would falsely accuse them of such horrible things and in the same breath say "oh he's my brother".
axl was late to shows and sometimes stormed off-stage but he DID complete around 190 shows on the UYI tour to the highest standard of performance as a frontman.
axl's unpredictability was a big part of what made him "rock n roll" and exciting.
its only through the mists of time that people have projected all their disappointment at the dissolution of the old line-up on him and virtually everything about him has come to be hated.
"axl's unpredictability was a big part of what made him "rock n roll" and exciting."
Tell that to the fans who spent there hard earned money to see GNR and Axl never turned up and they had to put up with some crap like Sorum or Duff singing a few songs.
The truth is Axls behaviour near the end of GNR was unnaceptable as much as you might kiss his behind and sugar coat things thats the truth about the matter.
the facts are undeniable. there was so much written about how dangerous a vibe GNR generated in their live shows and Axl's unpredictability was a big part of that. ppl might want all the good without the bad but thats not how it works.
for all the talk about Axl "never showing up", GNR did 190 shows during the UYI that AXl completed. makes mincemeat of your convenient profile.
by the way, what show did Matt Sorum replace Axl on singing duties? lets have the precise name.
haha! you only have a passing acquaintance with the truth.
slash wasnt exactly wrapping himself in glory by running naked around a resort while drugged out of hs mind imagining that he was being chased by alien monsters. but of course the only version of "truth" that works for you is the one that fuels your anti-Axl vision.
@Harrydeth Anybody who has read Slash's book can see the he used to be on drugs all the time.. As far as I consider being late at some shows can't be compared to being a unreliable drug-addict. It is pretty clear that Axl was the brain in the band, which is still awesome, while VR.....khmmmm...!
! but u also tryin to win this conversation wich means that ur an IDIOT...or better yet a person with MENTAL PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!well at least u have something in common with axl...congratulations!!!!!
slash is so patronising in his interviews. its quite irritating. he himself had times running down the street naked under a drug haze but he refers to weiland dismissively as the "little guy" having thrown him out of VR after libertad tanked. the "little guy" was plenty useful when contraband was doing well. slash keeps saying that he has no hostility against axl but he made up a completely false story about axl forcing slash and duff to sign over the GNR name.
Interesting at the end where slash says "and chances are he would never play with me moreso than me playing with him..." and then says that whatever Axl has against him is deep rooted. I think there's more to the story here... Axl may be a prick, but Slash isn't exempt from criticism for his part in Guns degradation. Read Axl's latest blog/message board postings.. he alludes to intricacies that aren't known yet.
well of course they have they're really personal stuff, like deep non-publicized stuff, but aside from that slash said in his biography that at times axl was angry at him and he never knew why, but it seemed serious, so i think that was kind of the source of that joke at the end.
Slash is awesome. I dont think that there are enough cool things to say about him. He is super smart and engaging. His book is funny and he is a great interview to boot. He is a stud
It is a good interview, but this reminds me all too much of the Van Halen situation, where the band members don't see the signs. You know what they say - it takes two to tango.
How good would it be if they all went through with the gig and just as the band go on Slash & Axl start fighting and Slash beats the piss out of him...........Now thats what i call a Rock'n'Roll reunion.

slash's and Axl's version of what happened is SO different. Axl says slash quit the band to save his face and started saying lies while in interviews and tried to get the whole blame on Axl.

@slimyesli yeah i doubt the whole truth will ever come out, its in both parties best interest to paint themselves as the prosecuted, so they will never admit any wrong doing on there own part. if axl ever releases that book we might get a better idea of what happened although slash's book seemed fair enough.

slash cant be held responsible for fans disappointment...better that he quit and still be here rather than his alternative when it was boiling over, if uv read his book u'll know wat i mean
VelvetFuckinRevolv3r 2 years ago
in like every interview and everything he promotes Slash always talks about GnR to promote the new thing he's doing but nobody cares for his work with fergie or libertad and everything so Slash is a victim of his previous success. he IS responsible for disappointing the fans just like how keith richards was telling him in the book
thepeter 2 years ago
@thepeter
ok so considering how he said he woke up one night in the blackest of moods and wanted to snuff himself before quitting GnR the next morning, u wouldve rathered slash no longer being able to create the music he does? i personally have loved everything he's done since GnR, from snakepit mk.II to VR...pretty sure the fans wudve been more disappointed if he werent alive than the fact that he's no longer in GnR...At least he's still inspiring people

@VelvetFuckinRevolv3r What i said is still valid but yeah i agree that it sucks either way. it's a shame that drugs and alcoholism destroys band after band after band...
thepeter 2 years ago
@thepeter Because everybody who interviews him asks him about GnR, did you even listen to this interview? He talks about this very thing. Besides why shouldn't he, after all he was in the fucking band, not to mention one of the most influencial members of the band. If you read his book, then you know why he left GnR, and with good reason. Because he was tired of Axl's bullshit. Have you ever been to a GnR concert, and wait 4hrs for Axl to come out? I have, and it sucks!
darrenhol 1 year ago
anyone who has read Slash's book can see very clearly that he used to be on heroin all the time.. As far as I consider, being late at some shows can't be mentioned on the same page with being an unreliable drug-addict with a huge ego.. and I was waiting for Axl once for 3 hours, and what? It was worth it!! It's pretty clear that Axl was the brain in the band, and he is still awesome, while VR... doesn't do much for me. Axl proved with Chinese Democracy that the band still rocks!!!

@cubancg212 Really? I seem to recall a point in time when Mick, and Kieth didn't speak to eachother, and the Stone were broke up! It took Pete Townsend to get them talking to eachother again, and the rest is history. Read Slash's book, its a good read, and he explains why he left the band. With good reason!
darrenhol 1 year ago
@gnrprof
slash was never unreliable, he wasnt the one stalling the shows. and his drug habit never got in the way of his professionalism as a musician, when the shit needed to be done he got it done, unlike say steven who lost it all to drugs, slash kept a hold on things...but even so, wat was axl's reasoning for doing things the way he did?..nothing, which is ultimately what spelled the band's demise
VelvetFuckinRevolv3r 2 years ago 9
@VelvetFuckinRevolv3r whatever about axl..based on interviews and tell alls. slash was way fucked up. just watch the clip of welcome to the jungle where he's so drunk he can barely play. just imagine the rest of the show! Axl for all his premadonna bull always gave a good show...when he decided not to leave.
mrphilcollins 1 year ago
@mrphilcollins slashs drug and drinking incidents causing him to play like shit only happened a few times rare.
slimyesli 1 year ago
it happened a bit, i'm not saying it was a constant. i wouldn't say rare though i'm sure over his tenure with guns it happened quite a few times. i like slash though, and for everything i said in the above he still played under some bad conditions..all self inflicted i may add.
mrphilcollins 1 year ago
@gnrprof Your rite he was a Junkie, but he was there at the show, and ready to play on time, and you even said it yourself they still played a good show. So his problems didn't effect the band, like Axl's did. Also if you read the book, Slash was never using Herion well he was touring, it was always when the band was off the road. Douche bag!

The forced contract issue is TRUE..and just remeber...Axl is jumped and hitted a fan in a guns concert just because he was taking pictures...what kind of frontman is that??? And come on... Axl is a piece of shit..thats why they threw things at hin like in the 1992 guns concert in Argentina
kingura 2 years ago
the forced contract story is a lie which crumbles in the light of legal facts. no forced contract can hold up in court but the GNR contract has held up despite 15 years of litigation. proves that slash lied about the forced contract. :)
the GNR concerts in south america including argentina were some of the most successful concerts in the history of rock music. a few people threw things- not all. the majority of south american fans have been very very loyal to GNR including axl.
mrinalbuffy123 2 years ago
I just finished reading The Slash Autobiography! My jaw dropped. I cannot believe that he is still alive! I bet he knows that. Plus, the book was very very insightful of what went on in Slash's life during Guns and Roses. All the coke and heroine, he almost died. And according to the book Axl said "You gave us a scare.(Regarding Slash overdosing) We thought you were dead. I thought I'd had to look for a new guitar player."
(page 362). -I think that is really messed up, shallow and inhumane.
sharpparrot 3 years ago
they did fall out. slash has admitted that during their entire libertad tour none of the other guys talked to scott making him as uncomfortable as possible. they had already decided to throw him out but werent going to tell him till the tour ended.
hardly the most mature environment within a band when youre ganging up on the frontman like that.
as for scott being strung out, slash had a major relapse himself in 2006 getting badly addicted to OxyContin.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
u r talking about the last leg of the tour and not the entire tour
pacovl46 3 years ago
weiland wasnt the only one with self-destructive tendencies in VR. slash himself had a big relapse in 2006. matt had his on-going battles with drugs according to weiland. the way things ended in VR was quite ugly. slash has talked about how they had already decided to ditch weiland as soon as the tour ended, they just didnt tell him and ignored him totally the whole time. this type of passive-aggressive 3 against 1 tactic of isolating the frontman was used against axl as well, i can guess.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
slash plays the good guy but he's been bad mouthing axl for years. he denied having gone to axl's house for 2 years and then ended up admitting it in his book in 2007. his statements change with his convenience.
GNR, snakepit and VR broke up and each time slash painted the frontman as the bad guy. its typical.
Axl tells his side of the story in the songs on Chinese Democracy instead of showing his face on every media outlet for 15 years.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
You have a point, and a very valid one at that, but there's no way I'd pin it more on Slash than on Axl.
Slash said it, he's a professional, he's not gonna wait 3 hours while Axl rolls his cornrows nice and tight. Axl has pulled more bullshit in the music world than anyone has.
Slash isn't innocent, but he's far from Axl's level.
GNR was a mutual break up (for the most part). Simply a personality conflict. VR was Weiland doing what he does best, self destructing. It's coincidence, not conspiracy
nick4man3 3 years ago
why do we have to accord blame more to one guy than the other? a personality clash happens between 2 ppl, not just one. axl comes with a lot of problems but he did do 190shows on the UYI tour and another 80 in 2006. yes, he has a big issue with lateness but similarly the other GNR guys had huge problems with drugs which are often totally ignored as an important factor by fans who point the finger only at axl. thats what i object to.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
well the main reason that GN'R broke up is axl.i remember in an interview that axl's and other band members friends of the band sad that there were a lot of time that AXL forced the band members do as he would say and sign the contrate for the band's name or he would not come into the concert,and there were times were axl would have his own floor in a hotel and not even his band friends could talk to him if they wouldn't take permission from his assistance first!so there no need for other words
gnrlilgirl 3 years ago
hearsay doesnt substitute facts. if axl had "forced" them to sign any contracts, no way would such a contract be upheld by the courts. any contract signed under duress becomes legally unenforceble. so slash's lie about the forced contract falls flat.
as for axl having a separate floor, the other guys had tongues. they should have spoken up if things went in a direction they didnt like.
is it axl's fault that slash has been in 3 bands and fell out with the frontman EVERY time?
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
hey first of all i didn't say that it was slash or any other band member who sad that axl forced them about the contract it was his friends watch the documentary.and second axl didn't forced them physically but mentally so the court can't make anything about that and third :the other guys had tongues???so what even if it was(but it's not)it doesn't give axl the right to act like he's a king(coz obviously he's not!!!and slash has been in 3 bands?so???it's not his foult that he wants a great band!
gnrlilgirl 3 years ago
nopes, youre wrong. slash HAS claimed that axl forced him and duff into a contract and there are press interviews that show it.
youre obviously ignorant about the law. ANY kind of force makes a contract illegal-physical, mental, emotional etc. slash's claim is that axl used a threat. no contract made under threat can be accepted by the courts.
slash has sued axl over and over but the courts have accepted axl's legal and fair ownership of GNR name. slash's lie has been exposed.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
the LOW has a lot of ways to be explained and it has its different unique way of creation in every single country but anyway u and I don't have the minimal idea what could have happend betwen those guys about the contract but i can assure u that axl is not as inoccent as u make him(it's the opositte)but how could u know how the court of slash against axl about the bands name could have been!coz to be honest our courts are not the icone of JUSTICE and every single person know that!
gnrlilgirl 3 years ago
youre trying to make up imaginary scenarios but that doesnt change the facts here. :)
its funny to see you attack the entire legal system simply because slash's lie has been busted. let me give you some info:
steven adler sued GNR because his lawyers werent present when he signed the contract putting him on probation. he WON this lawsuit & GNR had to pay him big money. axl thought that GNR would win but they lost because the courts are not axl's slaves- they decide on the basis of facts.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
and don't act like ur the big smart ass who know everything about LOW or this case so shut up coz u don't know what the judgs oppinion about slash and axl may have benn coz to be honest slash isn't that type of guy that has created a good oppinion as a person so....u and I don't have the minimal idea how the things could have been,i just sad what axl oun friends used to say abot AXL and not anything else so for the last time SHUT UP !!!!!
gnrlilgirl 3 years ago
slash is no poor, defenseless victim who cant plead his case in court- he is a multi-millionaire who has more money than axl as a result of his Guitar Hero and other endorsements. the courts accept Axl's ownership of the GNR name because slash lied about the contract.
the judge's "opinion" is irrelevant- his judgment is what is important and that is widely known. 15 years later, it is axl who owns the GNR name.
i'll speak for as long as i want. you dont decide who gets to speak or not.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
as for the idea that slash doesnt create a good impression on judges, axl has a long history of legal troubles and has lost or had to pay huge settlements in a lot of cases. so there is no argument whatsoever that slash was at a disadvantage in this regard.
as for friends saying bad things etc, slash's band members including axl, izzy, scott weiland have also criticized him so axl is not alone in that area.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
thirdly, it IS the other guys mistake that they didnt speak up on issues where they disagreed with axl. youve got to stand up for yourself.
nobody said that it was "slash's fault that he wants a great band".
the fact is slash has been in 3 bands and ALWAYS developed a feud with his frontman in EVERY band- rob jackson in snakepit, axl in GNR and scott weiland in VR.
EVERY SINGLE TIME, slash has attacked his frontmen in the media, blamed them etc.
its a habit of his sadly.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
well, apparently it's not only slash who's got a problem with the frontmen. the other guys have/had problems with them, too.
pacovl46 3 years ago
well not really. in snakepit it was slash who had problems with everybody. in GNR, izzy said that slash had a huge ego, not just axl. weiland called slash, duff and matt "frontman haters".
why always blame the frontman 100% and slash doesnt get any of the blame whatsoever?
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
my mother always used to say u need 2 people for a fight and that's certainly true, and that all of those guys have huge egos is definitely true. we'll never know for sure what went down but i'm sure glad that weiland is gone because i never liked his voice
pacovl46 3 years ago
yeah, it was probably a complex situation.
i just react to the simplistic scapegoating of axl as if he's the devil's spawn, you know. :) it takes two to tango.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
well in my opinion he was definitely the key ingredient for it all to fall apart, there's no doubt about it
pacovl46 3 years ago
well then how do you explain he fact that slash fueded with rod jackson and scott weiland too.
there's a definite pattern with slash that goes unnoticed.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
well, if u had to go through what these guys went through with axl, and it costs u everything u sure as hell wouldn't put up with the same shit again in yr new band, because u'd have a much shorter fuse and tolerance for it.
pacovl46 3 years ago
thats just a convenient way of deflecting all blame from slash.
scott weiland was hand-picked by slash, duff and matt despite his addictions. they were all gaga about how much of a "gang" they were while the hits kept coming.
then libertad failed and they threw out weiland on account of his addictions. this despite the fact that slash himself had a major relapse in 2006. pretty hypocritical really.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
well, u and i weren't there so we'll never know what really went down ;-)
pacovl46 3 years ago
well then everybody should get the benefit of the doubt including axl and weiland.
why do they have to be reduced to cartoon villians?
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
u r taking it far too serious in my opinion. i can understyand yr point in a way though, but believe me axl initiated the whole thing. he's high maintenance everyone knows that. and the other guys r no angels neither. anyway. they're not together anymore and that's not gonna change
pacovl46 3 years ago
axl's high maintenance, sure but like i said slash has been in 3 bands and not one time could he work it out with his frontmen. obviously axl cant be blamed for things crashing and burning between slash and rod jackson/weiland.
axl didnt initiate the ridiculously destructve drug abuse in the band which helped tear it apart.
its not that i'm taking it serious. its just that everything is seen too one-dimensionally and thats unfair.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
well, scott is a guy who becomes a total recluse when he's on heroin. i can send u an interview he did guitar legends #76 which was about slash. he didn't leave his house in months and the only guy he ever saw during that time was his pusher. that was b4 he fronted velvet. how can u work with a guy like that??
pacovl46 3 years ago
funny you mention that but you need to read slash's book. he mentions several periods in his life lasting months at a time when he would lock himself in his house and do nothing but heroin &have a constant supply of dealers coming in.
in 2006, he went on just such an extended period with OxyContin and his marriage almost broke up because he became disconnected from his family and life.
its the drugs that lead to the behaviour you mention & scott was by no means alone in these respects.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
i own his book. the thing with slash was, that he was always able to work and record and go on tour despite the fact that he was an addict. whereas others weren't, i.e. steven adler. and there r different types of addicts, some become totally dysfunctional and others don't. so assuming that scott belongs to the first category it's no wonder they cut him off. but that's only my speculation. as i said b4, we'll probably never know
pacovl46 3 years ago
well, thats only if you buy slash's word 100%.
by his own admission, he was NOT functional during his addict period in VR. he was nodding out during rehersals, shooting up in matt's bathroom, everyone would go quiet when he walked into the room when he walked in because his condition was so screamingly obvious.
its hypocritical of them to pounce on scott but take a completely different approach to slash's addictions.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
well, i think there must have been more to it then just weiland's substance abuse. everyone knows that slash is no angel. i'd love the guys to get back together with axl and just show it the world once more what they've got
pacovl46 3 years ago
well, thats just convenient. whenever slash falls out with yet another frontman lets always mindlessly blame the frontman and say its him! its him! what about slash's responsibility in everything?
slash has publicly attacked axl for too many years making up those lies about a forced contract. from what axl has said, its obvious that he has no trust left in slash whatsoever and so a reunion is not likely.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
what lies?
pacovl46 3 years ago
ok. it's all slash's fault. r u happy now? what do u want me to say man? i bleieve it was axl's fault that GNR split up the way they did. why would someone leave a band like GNR if it wasn't for good reason? u read slash's book, so u know his opinion about it. as for velvet, u haven't been there and neither have i. so u and i will never find out what happened, and it's not important either, at least not to me. fact is, scott's gone and i like it that way. i never cared for him in the first place
pacovl46 3 years ago
youre displaying simplistic thinking. its interesting that everything slash does is excused as having "good reasons" despite him not being able to make it work with any of his 3 frontmen.
neither you or i have been in GNR either but youre willing to believe slash's words 100%.
well, VR chose scott out of thousands of people and chased him around- they wanted him that bad. once the hits stopped coming of course he started looking less attractive.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago

and about the contract:
would u please stop saying axl didn't forced anyone about that,coz we all know he did!!!!his friends and the ppl that were close to gn'r in the old days say that!if u don't belive about the unfamous friends than why don't u just see tom zutaut interview?????????
gnrlilgirl 2 years ago
why wouldnt i reject the forced contract lie when its a lie? why should i stop pointing out the truth?
you have no understanding of the law. name axl's "friends" who say that axl forced slash and duff into a contract. i'll wait while you come up with concrete names. lets see how many you have. :)
mrinalbuffy123 2 years ago
tom zutaut claimed that this contract was signed before the tour started. the truth is, it was signed in september 1992 and the tour had been going on for OVER A YEAR by then. this shows that tom zutaut didnt know what he was talking about & was not a witness.
like i said, axl has lost or had relatively unfavorable judgments against him in quite a few important cases. to pretend that the courts are "on axl's side" is a joke. slash is richer than axl.
axl got the GNR name fair and square.
mrinalbuffy123 2 years ago
I very much doubt that Slash is richer than Axl, if so whats your proof?
Harrydeth 2 years ago
what is your proof that he isnt?
Slash's Guitar Hero franchise plis countless guest performances/ recordings plus endorsements add up to a lot. Axl has kept away from such things and put his own money into CD once the record company stopped funding it.
Axl, Slash and Duff collectively own the old songs and collectively get royalties from it. no doubt slash is richer than Axl.
mrinalbuffy123 2 years ago
in slash's book, he talks about how they all got 20 percent except axl got 25% and adler got 15%. So they all got pretty much the same amount of money from GNR stuff. BUT slash has done SO MUCH MORE than axl, in loads of guest appearances, signature guitar deals, GH3, Velvet Revolver, Slash's Snakepit, his book, he's coming out with his solo album, etc. Dang, all axl has done is GNR!
savagesnephew 2 years ago
So basically you are proving Slash is a media and money whore while Axl does what he thinks is right...
alexdmni 2 years ago
ahahha, no, my gosh did u not see the thread? We were just having a petty argument about who is richer, slash or axl. If slash was a money whore he would have stayed with guns n roses DUUUUH! He would have tried to make slash's snakepit into a proper band instead of just a jam session that made some music! I love axl AND slash (in a manly way), but if anyone is a about the money, it's axl! He was the one who demanded that adler only get 15% and axl get 25%! GNR ROCKS!!
savagesnephew 2 years ago
Yea I didnt read.....sorry. If it was about who's richer I think Slash may take it slightly. I loved Slash when he was in GnR and was still really good in the Snakepit. I do however think he lost it in VR.
alexdmni 2 years ago
yeah, alot of people think that about slash and VR. Even slash's wife perla said VR isn't her husbands best work lol. I still like VR, but it's nowhere near the awesome epic-ness of GNR or snakepit! I look forward to his solo record coming out next year!
savagesnephew 2 years ago
I look forward to it as well. By the looks of Slash's twitter it should be epic. I am also seeing Gun n" Roses on tour next year a well. If it's anything like the 06 show I saw.....2010 will be an AMAZING year for me.

gnrlilgirl 3 years ago
actually books have been written researching things like finances and duff who has investments in starbucks and microsoft is said to have more money than everybody else.
nowhere did i say that axl is poor but your laughable theory that the courts just picked on "poor old slash" is a complete joke. he is not some defenseless guy. he lied about the contract being forced and thats why axl continues to own the GNR name despite slash's propaganda. :)
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
it was izzy who said that slash has a huge ego & his drug use was out of control. josh todd said the same thing about his ego. scottt weiland called him a frontman hater.
if the logic is that scott was kicked out by VR so he talks bad, then similarly slash left GNR so he talks bad about axl.
again, your understanding of the law is non-existent. the contract was between slash, duff and axl. nobody else is a party to it-only these 3 guys matter and SLASH lied about the contract.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
we all know how many times axl missed the shows without any good reason!!!!!so this pretty much explains everything..so u wana go on and protect axl with fake reasons than go on!i can't make anything to make u see the reality but i can't let u talk about false things...so u wana speak go on and speak somwhere else coz in here u'll know that ur not gone be aproved about what u say coz we all know the history!if u still go on in here than means that ur not just tryin to "defend" axl!
gnrlilgirl 3 years ago
GNR did 190 shows for the UYI tour- axl performed wonderfully almost every single time and that is why he is ranked as the 4th greatest frontman in rock history.the cancellations were only a few.

axl had to pay heavy settlements in other cases-he has not been favored by the courts at all. infact he has lost important cases or had unfavorable judgments.
but in the issue of the GNR name, he has won clearly because slash's lie was so obvious.

well first of all scott was kicked out from the band,slash left the band on his own desire!second:

about the courts as i sad:we all know that they're not the icone of justice and i can't belive that ur tryng to make them LOYAL only becouse u want to blame slash!

weiland was kicked out the band under alegations of drug use and YET slash himself had a major relapse in 2006 and admits in his book that he was drugged out of his mind. hypocritical double standards and so they got rid of weiland but excused slash.
you can call axl whatever, it doesnt change the fact that slash has fueded with 4 frontmen by now- axl, rod kackson, weiland, josh todd. weiland called him a frontman hater.
your ignorance is amusing. the courts arent axl's property.
mrinalbuffy123 2 years ago
I think one of the reasons why people generally are more sympathetic towards Slash, is that he has a basic love for just going up there and play. Whilst Axl would end shows early (some rightfully so) , storm offstage, getting onstage late (that is really unforgivable) etc. With Slash, you always know that he's to deliver the goods, even if its sloppy because him being intoxicated, but with Axl, you never know what's going to happen.. I just hope they both grow the fuck up and reunite.

i dont think a reunion is going to happen at all. people like to ignore axl's side of the story altogether but he has obviously got no more trust in slash anymore with the really false and hurtful accusations that slash made of axl "extorting" the GN'R name like a criminal. nobody wants to work with somebody who would falsely accuse them of such horrible things and in the same breath say "oh he's my brother".
mrinalbuffy123 2 years ago
axl was late to shows and sometimes stormed off-stage but he DID complete around 190 shows on the UYI tour to the highest standard of performance as a frontman.
axl's unpredictability was a big part of what made him "rock n roll" and exciting.
its only through the mists of time that people have projected all their disappointment at the dissolution of the old line-up on him and virtually everything about him has come to be hated.

"axl's unpredictability was a big part of what made him "rock n roll" and exciting."
Tell that to the fans who spent there hard earned money to see GNR and Axl never turned up and they had to put up with some crap like Sorum or Duff singing a few songs.
The truth is Axls behaviour near the end of GNR was unnaceptable as much as you might kiss his behind and sugar coat things thats the truth about the matter.

the facts are undeniable. there was so much written about how dangerous a vibe GNR generated in their live shows and Axl's unpredictability was a big part of that. ppl might want all the good without the bad but thats not how it works.
for all the talk about Axl "never showing up", GNR did 190 shows during the UYI that AXl completed. makes mincemeat of your convenient profile.
by the way, what show did Matt Sorum replace Axl on singing duties? lets have the precise name.
mrinalbuffy123 2 years ago 2
haha! you only have a passing acquaintance with the truth.
slash wasnt exactly wrapping himself in glory by running naked around a resort while drugged out of hs mind imagining that he was being chased by alien monsters. but of course the only version of "truth" that works for you is the one that fuels your anti-Axl vision.
mrinalbuffy123 2 years ago
@Harrydeth Anybody who has read Slash's book can see the he used to be on drugs all the time.. As far as I consider being late at some shows can't be compared to being a unreliable drug-addict. It is pretty clear that Axl was the brain in the band, which is still awesome, while VR.....khmmmm...!

slash is so patronising in his interviews. its quite irritating. he himself had times running down the street naked under a drug haze but he refers to weiland dismissively as the "little guy" having thrown him out of VR after libertad tanked. the "little guy" was plenty useful when contraband was doing well. slash keeps saying that he has no hostility against axl but he made up a completely false story about axl forcing slash and duff to sign over the GNR name.
mrinalbuffy123 3 years ago
Interesting at the end where slash says "and chances are he would never play with me moreso than me playing with him..." and then says that whatever Axl has against him is deep rooted. I think there's more to the story here... Axl may be a prick, but Slash isn't exempt from criticism for his part in Guns degradation. Read Axl's latest blog/message board postings.. he alludes to intricacies that aren't known yet.

well of course they have they're really personal stuff, like deep non-publicized stuff, but aside from that slash said in his biography that at times axl was angry at him and he never knew why, but it seemed serious, so i think that was kind of the source of that joke at the end.

Slash is awesome. I dont think that there are enough cool things to say about him. He is super smart and engaging. His book is funny and he is a great interview to boot. He is a stud

Eddie Trunk does an excellent job interviewing Slash. Very natural, fluent conversation. Good questions asked (and answered!)

Slash has no pretense at all, where as Axl is a pretentious rasta-albino these days.

It is a good interview, but this reminds me all too much of the Van Halen situation, where the band members don't see the signs. You know what they say - it takes two to tango.
