i've got a lot to do today, but did want to address a few things before heading out.

MYGNR - madison finally gave a reason for why i was banned and while i don't agree with it, i accept it. i hope she does the right and unbans me when the week is up. i say the "right thing" not because it effects me much, but because clearly the community has spoken on the matter and their wishes should be respected.

what people have to understand is that i am a lot of things. a wrestler, a musician, a poet, a juggler, an actor, etc. i'm also a journalist. while my pro wrestling style antics may have rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, i felt they were necessary to get us songs. however, now that i have decided to cover GNR current events, i must abide by the same code of conduct and ethics that i do when writing for a newspaper.

the reason i bring this up is because when i say "i have been able to confirm through reliable sources working for MYGNR and CD.com that guns n' roses manager irving azoff has been on a rampage" it's because i have. if madison would like to dispute the story, i'm all ears, but i got the story from HER moderators (as well as BP's). so if she wants to call anyone a liar, she needs to start with her own staff.

CD.com - while some of you emailed me to scoff at my claims that this site had instituted an anti-MSL policy, it was confirmed PUBLICALLY by one of the sites moderators:

"MSL Posts and Links are being removed by the request of BP."

as for PRIVATELY, someone close to BP emailed in claiming that BP had been promised interviews with band members and a review copy of chinese democracy if he continued to play ball with azoff's requests.

but BP isn't content just controlling his own site. he's even attempting to control OTHER sites. here is a message i received from mango of GNRSOURCE (printed with permission):

> I also recieved an email from Sean (Bipolar?) from cd.com asking me to
> take down the audio intervew from source's servers as "people are upset and
> its only one side of story and bla-bla-bla".
>
>
> Of course i declined that one

if you still haven't heard the interview that has the GNR camp up in arms, check out: http://www.gnrsource.com/dloads/mp3/int … aurent.mp3

if you like your GNR news and views without management filtration, another great site is GNRevolution.

SONG NAMES - i've never said song #2 is prostitute. what i've said is that ever since song #2 leaked, prostitute has been removed from the trading lists of some very high profile hoarders. make of that what you will. as for the latest leak, if i had a gun to my head, i would say it is shackler's revenge. i base that on requests azoff has made to the media in regards to holding off on reporting about the leak. unfortunately, many publications can be influenced in this manner. i hope you disgruntled writers out there will continue to email me so that the truth can make its way to the fans.

questions, comments, news, and songs can be sent to:

i have been able to confirm through reliable sources working for MYGNR and CD.com that guns n' roses manager irving azoff has been on a rampage. MYGNR moderators have privately confirmed that azoff was ultimately responsible for me being banned. while that is unfortunate, fans at least appear to still be able to discuss the situation.

however, over on CD.com, a strict anti-MSL policy has been instituted at the request of azoff. in fact, moderators have been told to remove all mentions of mistersaintlaurent.com.

chat with mister (3:51:18 AM): are you the only one who knows?
xxxxxxxx (3:51:23 AM): Knows about?
chat with mister (3:51:28 AM): about the new policy?
xxxxxxxx (3:52:02 AM): The Mods are afraid to even talk about the policy.

so james, if azoff contacts you, will you banish me too?
