one reason out of many that i think he is ADHD, not bipolar...lol!
as an ADHD person myself i am well acquainted with observing way too much of what is going on around me, be it visible or auditory.
what i have always loved is when he's told the crowd to chill so people don't get hurt.
I believe he said he was manic depressive in an interview, which is basically Bi-Polar.
But you are probably talking about misdiagnosis, so..

You make a very valid point. There's an obvious bias, and has been for years.
Axl said it himself - "i'm blunt"
People hate that. I know in my life, I have been the same way, honest & blunt, but not an asshole.
However that's not how it's viewed. People don't like the truth.
The biggest asskiss of all time is Slash. Why do you think everyone loves him? Because he's likeable to the MEDIA. He dishes the dirt and tells them everything they want to know, for a headline. I can remember when Contraband was released, and almost every interview he did was 85% Axl & GN'R, even though he had a new band to promote.
He enjoys it. See Marilyn Monroe. See Michael Jackson. Axl, Marilyn Manson, whoever the fuck...
As soon as you hit the shitlist, you are a sacrificial lamb. They want your blood spilled at the full moon. It's not about truth, it's about sensationalism. If it bleeds it leads, and your in a game that has no rules.
Axl fell into it when he was young. One of the most admirable things about him now, is that he's wiser and takes the high road (most of the time).
sad part is.....it's guns n roses fans talking all the shit about axl and his friends.
No it's not dude. The media created that monster WAY WAY WAY back in the day. Like the late 80's/early 90's.
The Mick Wall's or Bob Guccione, Jr.'s of the world created that speculation about Axl and his core group of friends. Then when Slash came out and basically said the same stuff after everything with the original GN'R soured, it just reenforced everyone's belief in it.
Just because SOME fans are gulliable and believe anything someone tells them, doesn't mean they're the ones talking shit. We only read the articles, we don't write them.

Song 2 is the best song that ever was!
#17654 Re: The Garden » Obama raises $66 MILLION in August from donors!! » 947 weeks ago
Yes tej, I do realize that. I assumed McCain strategically attacked on that first, because he expected Obama to play up the cliched "tha Demakrats are fer da poor peeple" angle.
On either side it's dumb as fuck. There's never been a poor politician. If they're rich, they're rich. It doesn't matter if they have $5mil or $200mil.

Your exactly right James, on #1.
If that check hadn't bounced, nobody would've asked.

Build hype by lowering expectations?
Umm, that's a ballsy theory there Bright, I can say that much.

#17658 Re: Guns N' Roses » Del James Interview » 947 weeks ago
And if you two say he's a cool guy, I believe you, and him.
I personally agree with everything he says about the old band, but I refrain from saying it, because i'll be deemed a "blind Axlite".
I don't think he's wrong. I just think it's beneficial for him to NOT speak of Slash. It comes across as petty and unprofessional, even if he's telling the absolute truth. Slash has the media brainwashed, has for years, and it's not going to change. There's no reason a guy like Del should fall into bottomless trap, that Axl fell into 10 years ago. You're fighting to win a football game - that's FIXED. That's how I look at the Slash comments.
As for the fans, maybe I took it the wrong way, or it was taken out of context. It did say 'by Del James'.
#17659 Re: The Garden » Obama camp in panic as ‘Xena’ Sarah Palin scythes through support » 947 weeks ago
Huffington is a nazi.
She knows nothing, and is quite possibly one of the dumbest human beings i've ever heard speak. I listened to an interview with her, where a PRO-Obama interviewer was quoting Obama positively, and stuff Obama had said, and good stuff i'd heard him say, and because it was Pro-2nd Amendment, pro-Iraq, anti-Iran, anti-Pakistan... she called the guy a liar. A LIAR.
Even though Obama had said it. But because it didn't fall into Ariana's facist Nancy Pelosi way of thinking, she called the guy a liar and hung up. Even though they were factual, and positive Obama quotes.
She's a fucking moron. She's apart of these baby boomer-minded San Fran liberals that are D-Y-I-N-G.
Good riddance to bad garbage.
#17660 Re: Guns N' Roses » Del James Interview » 947 weeks ago
Well Paxcow, there's no reason to get upset over all of this. Perception is just that, perception. It's not written in stone.
So I won't, and DO NOT judge him on that.
But I do judge him on his comments in 2006. Even if he was stone cold correct, it was still unprofessional.
