#1493 Re: Guns N' Roses » What Did You Guys Think Of This Rant...? » 991 weeks ago
I think we're starting to get into technicalities now. Let me take it to the extreme:
A guy is kicking the shit out of his wife daily. After a few years of this, she finally decides to leave him. Are you going to say the wife is responsible for changing her way of thinking?
Obviously this is an exaggeration, but the point is valid. If you're treated in a way you don't appreciate and finally decide you aren't going to take it anymore, then you made the decision to leave, but the way you were treated was the cause.
True but this isn't just how they were treated, it's the whole ball of wax down to types of songs and how they artistically disagreed and no one would budge so they left. Bottom line is for me, I don't believe it was one man that broke this band up, I think it's alot of variables that indeed involves all of them and it just couldn't work anymore and Axl defends that by this rant. I can't believe that Axl just shit on them for years and then suddenly they couldn't take it and left, I am sure their actions caused reactions of Axl to them and vice versa before they actually left.
I understand what you are saying and Axl certainly had a way of doing things as it's been reported but I certainly think it's waay to heavy a load to just blame him as so many people do.

Ultimately this is what they are saying led to the demize of the band and how it's all Axl's fault. That's my point, so if Slash admits this is what made Axl great then really how can he be at fault for the band's breakup. Axl was being Axl and the Axl he's always been.
That doesn't mean it wasn't his fault. It can be someone's fault for being themself. Sometimes in life you decide to stick with someone or a relationship that you know isn't good for you because you don't know what else to do. Eventually you figure out how bad it really is and you move on. Nothing changed other than one person realized that whatever good came wasn't worth the bad that came with it.
Fault is really the wrong word - I think Axl is most responsible for it, but it isn't necessarily his fault. Slash knew that if the band was going to be huge, they needed Axl, so they put up with a lot of shit that they didn't necessarily want to because they felt they had to including signing over the rights to the name. Eventually they decided putting up with Axl wasn't worth it. Axl didn't change, but it was his actions/decisions that are mainly responsible for what happened.
You're right fault is the wrong word. One thing cannot be disputed is the evolution of GNR with the UYI's as I posted before, that entire tour was unbelievably successful and maybe Axl wanting change even moreso going forward with GNR after TSI was obviously just too much for Slash, Duff and Matt.
Soooo can we say that the demise of GNR is not because of mostly the actions of one man but because of how the others may have changed in how they dealt with situations in the past, bascially Axl being Axl and them not dealing with that anymore.
Now I ask who ultimately broke the band up tho, the one acting the same or the ones who chose to leave? Or maybe can we say it was a more even ground since the one person that has gotten all the blame really didn't change his colors at all and was always trying to keep GNR going but it was the others who turned their backs.
Food for thought

He had many temper tantrums during AFD, example throwing the microphone at the tech guys if the sound wasn't right. They knew he was a loose cannon so you can't be surprised at some of the antics that happened along the way.

#1499 Re: The Sunset Strip » Dexter (Spoiler Alert) » 991 weeks ago
Yeah, wouldn't that be messed up if she figured out the Dex is the one. The FBI guy is right on with the manefesto. Now Deb is inlove with him because he is a father figure type.
When he said so close to him, I am always one step ahead of you and then head butted Doekes I literally was like heeeell yeeaaah and then when he Doakes was hitting him I was like aww man, hit him back but course that would screw up what he was doing. Totally was a great acted scene too.
