If you are such an intelligent business man, why do you lower yourself to auctioning off private email correspondence and documents just to get some money?
while i may be intelligent and i may be a business man, i don't think i've ever claimed to be an "intelligent business man."
money doesn't really excite me and never really has, beyond a certain point. i still have the same tastes i had when i was a kid. i like records. i like arcade games. i like sneakers. i think fancy cars are silly. so while i need a certain level of financial stability to maintain my lifestyle, anything beyond my childhood hobbies is of no interest.
i have a long history of leaving lots of money on the table to stick to my core values and interests.
i am not auctioning off the GNR info. one of the ways i make my living is writing, often about celebrity type gossip. i've never been fond of how fake society is, especially the field of entertainment, and just as i've always pulled back the curtain in my own life, i enjoy letting the public see what type of people they're actually worshipping.
so while i am interested in writing about this stuff, or helping others write about it, selling it to the highest bidder is not something that interests me. i was initially offered $60,000. then GNR contacted me and said they'd offer a lot more. i told GNR that i thought 60k was a bit excessive and i would not be interested in an offer any higher than that.
and while that may seem strange to some, i accept that most people will always think i'm a strange guy and i don't really care if people understand my actions.
but a lot has changed in the last week. i did very well working on the TV show i'm in NY for and i may be busy working on TV shows for a while now, which wouldn't leave any time for writing.
another factor in all of this was . . . even if i have enough money to live, how do i just hand back the memory card when i'd received large offers and my girl was struggling so bad. it doesn't matter now that we're not together, but i planned to use the money to get her an apartment and pay for the rest of her schooling.
when she left me, i contacted axl and let him know i'd hand the card back for free. i have enough confidence in my own abilities to not need a quick payday, but she sure could have used it and i wasn't willing to just hand it back when i could have used it to help her turn her life around.
people can judge me all they want, but until you've walked a mile in my air max lebrons, you really don't know what makes me tick or why i act the way i act.

Then again I've had thousands of people calling me & turk cunts the last week. 
#104 Re: Guns N' Roses » 101 Document Titles From Axls Laptop (No Actual Documents Tho) » 814 weeks ago
That's true, you don't know for sure whether I'm telling the truth. I just think my history should be enough for people to not automatically assume I'm definitely lying. If you disagree, that's fine.
#105 Re: Guns N' Roses » 101 Document Titles From Axls Laptop (No Actual Documents Tho) » 814 weeks ago
I am surprised that so many people have not even considered the possibility that I'm telling the truth. I'm surprised because in the lead up to the release of CD1, I was consistantly and almost daily breaking accurate stories about the album.
And back then I was very honest about how I was getting the info. Azoff was controlling what Rolling Stone was reporting about GNR, so someone at Rolling Stone was feeding me info that their boss was not letting them report.
Just like now, when I've been honest about getting info from confidential emails that were anonymously sent to me. I could have acted like I was some sort of insider. But I never have. I've always been a lying sack of shit behind the scenes to get my hands on stuff and then completely honest with the fanbase afterwards.
So yes, it is surprising that so few have even taken the position that it's POSSIBLE that I'm telling the truth.
OBVIOUSLY I intended for evidence to surface at some point. But in the meantime, while the legalities of everything were being sorted out, I wanted to KEEP MY WORD and on Feb 2, fill you guys in on what has been going on lately in the GNR world.
Yes, anybody could just make up a bunch of shit in a blog post.
BUT. I. DIDN'T.
And if you don't believe me, that's fine. But I do feel my past actions should be worth at least reserving judgement instead of automatically assuming that I'm definitely lying. That seems kind of rude when I've been so honest and forthcoming in the past.

misterID -
I've worked as a newspaper reporter for many years and it is not uncommon to anonymously receive information that may have been obtained under less than ethical conditions. However, the truth is the truth regardless of how the truth ended up finding the light of day. I do not and never have felt that it is wrong to report private information that is legitimately newsworthy. If you disagree, you are certainly entitled to your opinion.
Most of my previous work writing for newspapers, magazines and websites has been covering various combat sports events. I do not have a platform of my own to effectively publicize the very compelling and historically significant pieces of rock n' roll history I have access to. The logical thing to do would be to find another media outlet that would like to work with me.
If this information I have could potentially generate large profits for the organization I choose to work with, I do feel I should be compensated for providing access to the information, assuming after proper research it is determined that it would be legal for me to do so.
If you believe it is wrong for people to profit from private information, you are entitled to your opinion and I certainly believe that opinion is valid. However, I would hope in fairness you would have the same problem with any publication or broadcast that generates a profit from private information, which would cover a large percentage of all worldwide media.
You are right. I am a smart guy. I also have plenty of faults like everyone else. I have serious mental illnesses I battle every day. I am a self-important asshole. I accept that.
I am not a victim in any of this, but I should not be blamed for not wanting to share anymore info with people who are very unappreciative. I should not be blamed if I choose to put my own interest before others, something I have not done in the past. I could have made close to six figures selling unreleased tracks very easily. Instead, I shared everything with everyone. I feel it would be wrong to sell songs. It would also be illegal.
I do not think it would be wrong for me to partner with a media outlet and be fairly compensated. It's also not illegal. If you feel it's wrong, I respect your opinion.

the leaking itself isn't the hard part. obv.
getting the song in the first place on the other hand . . .
#110 Re: Guns N' Roses » i'm back » 893 weeks ago
it's not that he's DIRECTLY responsible, it's that most of the leaks ultimately trace back to buddies that fernando gave songs to. it's not like fernando was purposely leaking things. a LONG time ago he gave some songs to friends and years later they ended up in the wild.
