I reall appreciate what MSL did for the GN'R fans a few years ago, but his posts are getting scary. 
#1332 Re: Guns N' Roses » Where did this photo originally come from? » 821 weeks ago
I would guess the bottom two are from the sympathy for the devil sessions....
Yeah, probably, since Axl's hair is much thinner than earlier (and later), and the clothes and hairs are very early 90s.

You need to be a rockstar to wear these shoes.

I thought it sucked, but not because of Slash. The whole show sucked, and he was part of it. Even as the best part of it, it's like saying that the lone survivor of a plane crash is paralyzed. It's better than dead to some people, but it still sucks.
Enough of the "whoring" comments until you're ready to make the same claims about Axl. They are both living off of a well-earned reputation from the past. One way isn't better or worse than the other. The end result is exactly the same. They are both making a shitload of money off of the band and music they created together. It's completely hypocritical to embrace new GnR while claiming Slash is a money whore.
Agree. The 'Slash is a sell-out, he's pissing on GN'R's legacy' bullshit is old, tired and ridiculous. I wish he wouldn't do these shows, but I'm a snobbish, elitist Slash fan, and I'm only part of the audience he's looking for. It doesn't make him a sell-out or shit. Do you think he expects to sell more solo albums in the next 2 weeks? Hell no. People will buy more Greatest Hits, if anything. Even uncle Axl will earn some money, without doing anything, thanks to Slash. Slash is the one who's been keeping the Guns N' Roses legacy and fame alive, and Axl should thank him for this, and not start legal battles against Activision and such.

BTW is Doc McGhee the man who spent the less time in charge as GN'R's manager?
#1336 Re: Guns N' Roses » 101 Document Titles From Axls Laptop (No Actual Documents Tho) » 822 weeks ago
That could be, I also think it works the other way around too. People in the industry don't have faith in GNR sans Slash, Duff, and Izzy. They don't give this lineup the same chances or respect, and that's justifiable to me. But I don't think Axl feels the same way. He feels that GNR should be treated like they were back in their heyday, regardless of who is in the band and he has trouble accepting the fact that they're not. So that makes it hard to get things accomplished.
Fair point. Can be both, depending on his mood.

My two cents.
I think MSL had info. Some. But exaggerated it. To get songs or to get money or to get fame, is irrelevant. I think Axl's tweet didn't really shot down MSL's stuff, but showed that he doesn't have much to prove his infos. Which were more infos, then documents or anything. Now it's MSL's turn to get everything he has online, if he has any.
I think Axl lost his faith in this line-up. This was my first reaction to that December interview.
On the pressure the current incarnation of the group has to live up to its past, Rose commented, "I think it's a lot to do with the material from the past and a hell of a lot to do with the heart that was put into it then. But if we weren't putting the heart into it now . . . the fans, they're not gonna let me get away with it. We have to live up to something, have to work a bit harder because you're living up to the legend or a myth or whatever."
It's the same 2002 VMA bullshit. If 15 years weren't enough to believe in his (ever-changing) band, then no time will be. He's still battling with his past, feeling that something amazing happened back then, he cannot recreate. That's why he's been playing AFD for a decade again. That's why he rerecorded that album with the '99 line-up. Axl wants to find that band that functioned and inspired him, when they were 'climbing up' and what was lost by the UYIs. He missed it, so ruined the (old) band and tried to rebuild it. Now, after multiple failed rebuilds, he has to face that he'll never get the same experience again. I think his fear is that he wouldn't have it again, even if he got the old guys together again. As it more likely wouldn't happen, cause they are rich and middle-aged now. But hey, maybe they could make a great album, and then - when everything falls apart as expected - they van hate each other again with passion. But the love/hate relationship between the old guys, we witnessed in the past 15-20 years, could be really inspiring.
For the record. I don't think a reunion would happen and I don't expect or wait for it. But as it seems, Axl will never release jack shit in the next years with whatever band he actually has. Cause he has no faith in the guys, other than Slash, Duff and Izzy.
#1338 Re: Guns N' Roses » 101 Document Titles From Axls Laptop (No Actual Documents Tho) » 822 weeks ago
Why relaunch something as dead as CD? Even releasing a Live Era remix would make more sense. This CD ship has sailed. A long time ago. Anyone who was interested, already bought or downloaded it. Release a new album or shut up. I guess they shut up.
BTW this MSL story will be remembered as one of the most ridiculous chapters of the forum saga, if he doesn't have more stuff than his post implies. He 'writes it down'. Yeah. Why not copy+paste or scan it? Anyway, this soap opera isn't exciting anymore.
#1339 Re: Guns N' Roses » 101 Document Titles From Axls Laptop (No Actual Documents Tho) » 823 weeks ago
For the record, Axl would really deserve to be fucked like this, after being a real stalinist with the boards, making free sites into censored, zealot propaganda shit, for the never-ending lies and promises, for the never-told explanations about why almost everything was a trainwreck, for making his hired guns look like liars or out-of-the-circle nobodies, for rewriting the band's history and for feeding the hate against former members and between the fans.
With all that said, it's not the Soviet Union as everybody's free to leave. The leaks were deserved and right. But leaking this personal and business stuff is just not right. It's absolutely and terribly wrong. Such a disrespectful, vicious and hostile move, that I can't even tell it. Guns N' Roses isn't some powerful state or anything. It's just an awfully managed band with a bat shit crazy frontman and some hangers-on. Leave them alone in their crazy world, but this MSL stuff is just too much.
#1340 Re: Guns N' Roses » Outperforming AFD » 824 weeks ago
Nobody sings GN'R as good as Axl and nobody plays it as good as Slash. Case closed. Although Axl's voice is much weaker than in his prime (the Reading WTTJ is horrible), he's still better with his narrower range, than Myles with his wider (and with those thin highs that Axl would never hit, but they sound extremely strange). Cause Axl has the anger and right approach that Myles doesn't.
