That's another thing that gets me. Why bring RJ up? What's the point. WHo was even asking about him? I might be wrong but it seems that the whole point of the so called "interview" was meant to stab former members, friends and fans that don't suck ass... the Axlites.
I don't post or lurk on MyGNR, but that seems to be the place Axl and his minions prefer; is there a lot of hater-slashphiles there that would have set him off or shaped his view of his fans?

^^ and that's a big sign of where things are at with the fans and Axl, neemo.
I think I'd add to the "stop talking about Slash" sentiment with, stop bashing all those imaginary, demanding, Axl hating GNR fans that he rails about... You know, because they only exist in his, beta's, del's and jarmo's minds 
....and stop coming across as such a weirdo.
I do love this circus, though.

I wonder if they'll play anything from Strays on tour, or are they just going to pretend that never happened?

I started reading the script the other day but I had to stop myself. I don't want to ruin it.

quit blaming the Gnr "camp" (whatever the fuck that is). Blame Axl. Period. Those people only talk when he let's them. Good post BigBri and Russ...I wish more people were as open minded as you two. MisterID, Axl never had a masterplan and sure as hell doesn't now.
I'm not blaming the GNR camp. Axl is the GNR camp. He's closed himself off with these people, so it is his fault. They are a reflection of him... which is what I was kind of saying.
But when they publicly show what asses and contributers to the larger problem(s) they are, I don't blame anyone here for going off on them.
If he keeps saying they're "working CD still" then that means there's got to be some form of plan... Somewhere...:P
#11296 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Insists Original Guns N' Roses Lineup Is Dead and Buried » 923 weeks ago
I'm still trying to figure out what he means by "keep working" Chinese Democracy... heh?
I really wish he'd unleash his real strategy about the albums. Or at least his future plans with this one album. Not about shit that really doesn't matter.
The thing that strikes me is: according to Axl, for the last 10-12 years (just counting the CD saga) almost everyone involved has been screwing him over; managers, label execs, band members, former band members, they've been lying to him, sabotaging him, booking/doing things without his consent... How the hell is this happening over and over? Especially with Axl Rose? He's a smart guy, so why does the same shit keep happening to him? There's a huge neon sign above his head saying, "Something ain't right here" but I guess Axl can't see it, for whatever reason. Maybe it has something to do with the people he associates with... People who speak on message boards on his behalf... People who write his articles and give him interviews... Work on tours.... People who were called his manager/housekeeper at one time..... Something don't smell right here, folks.
GNR, a band with a frontman as talented as he is, should not be ran so fucking half ass. It's embarrassing.

I would say Axl probably doesn't give a shit...
But I guarantee he gives a big shit.
And she made the comment in post script no less. Oh, snap.

It does if you're a sith.
Going by that interview, you-Buzz and Slash are the most important things to Axl regarding GNR.
#11299 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Insists Original Guns N' Roses Lineup Is Dead and Buried » 923 weeks ago
Axl needs to get his head out of the past. And I can already see his next "interview" or internet posting will be filled with, "Yeah, everyone wants me to talk and tell my side, and when I do, I get shit on."
The thing he doesn't get, and never has since trying to control the interviews during UYI, is that you don't have control over the way people think or interpret your comments. That's the way it is.
Things aren't black and white and the 'you're either with me or against me' mentality doesn't fly. When he said "the same idiots are still demanding a release date for the next album" not only shows that he reads these boards, but he's too over sensitive and almost resentful over the fans and doesn't have a real understanding of his fans.... Wanting another album is a HUGE compliment. No one is demanding a release date. Where are people demanding a release date? I think that's very eye opening how he sees things regarding us.
He needs to re-think his definition of a fan. If jarmo and adz is his blueprint of what a fan is he's going to shrink and alienate his fanbase even more. People who stand in line to lick his ass first isn't a fan. I've noticed the Axlites are getting thinner and thinner. And they aren't helping his cause.
His paranoia and bitterness is actually sad. I really feel bad for him. 
Del, Fernando and Beta are the worst things that's happened to Axl regarding his relationship with the fans. Their interactions on these boards haven't showed anything else.
I really wish he'd just focus on the furture. He could have handled this thing very differently. He could have basically said things went down between he and Slash that will make it impossible to associate in any compacity together in the future. And that he is now focused on the future... Which ironically, most of his fans are concerned about. Unfortunately, he's much more interested and motivated by his detractors than his real fans. 
#11300 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Insists Original Guns N' Roses Lineup Is Dead and Buried » 923 weeks ago
Yeah, this is the same Axl that's always been there. He's just not saying the shit some people want to hear. And there haven't been so many people siding with Slash on his honesty like some of you guys are making out... And I have never heard of Axl being forced to pay Duff and Slash for turning down the use of WTTJ in Blackhawk Down... Didn't even Duff say he doesn't remember things the way Slash did in his book, which is a nice way of saying it isn't all true?
But I'm not getting into the Slash vs Axl bullshit. 
Axl's basically said his peace a few times about the old band, Slash and shit, but he hasn't said hardly anything about his current band, album, future albums... Just look at the interview. It's like the whole CD thing is kind of a hindrance, and he's more concerned with shit that happened fucking 10-20 years ago and ripping Slash. Who the fuck cares, already? Its kind of funny, but he's said it all before and now he's starting to sound like Smoking Guns... Isn't it ironic.... Don't cha think?
