Is that really how he comes across, or is it just how he is perceived in the minds of yourself and others like you?
Do me a favor and go to his myspace page and read his blogs there and you will see he is FAR from what you say.
Not a mention of this "obsession" you speak of.
http://www.myspace.com/thelanguageoffear
moreover, he has a life with a woman he loves and two beautiful daughters. he writes, he goes to shows, he hangs out. his life does not revolve around what you say it does.
please stop speaking of what you do not know. I know we're all frustrated with waiting for the album, not getting news, etc. but can't it not degenerate into unfounded maliciousness?
and i have never read or heard anything where Del is "attacking" fans. but then again, these days it really seems some of the fans seem pretty prone to throwing the first blows...???
Considering the fact you just admitted to not knowing of his fan attack, I wouldn't pull out the "you don't know what you're talking about" card.
Del James can come across anyway i'd like him to. It's a perception thing. I actually like the guy, it's just the I don't like the Slash & fan bashing. Just keep it to a minimum, even if you're sticking up for a friend.
It's not about judging. I still like Del, but it doesn't beat how he comes across.
He lost ALOT of favor with me with that scathing attack on fans about setlist complaining, even if he was aiming it at those who don't even attend shows.
Still, it was immature and unprofessional, and he was obviously speaking for Axl (so Del doesn't get all the blame) when Axl addressed the issue in San Juan I believe.
Seeing how I was a paying customer, TWICE, in 2006, I think I reserve the right to take those comments from Del a tad personal.
And as much as I love Axl, the new band, or even Del James for that matter... you cannot obviously expect Guns N' Roses fans to give Del James favor over Slash.

Howling III... any Howling movie which ends with Dame Edna supposedly getting devoured and a Alfred Hitchcock look-a-like yelling ACTION!...
Total classic
#17663 Re: The Garden » Tina Fey as Sarah Palin » 947 weeks ago
Not me - Palin
But seriously, considering the fact Lorne Michaels is a McCain supporter, and contributed to his campaign - no one needs to be saying this an anti-Palin statement.
#17664 Re: The Garden » Obama camp in panic as ‘Xena’ Sarah Palin scythes through support » 947 weeks ago
I do think Obama screwed up by not picking Hilary, and I do think he's feeling that now... but I don't think Palin should be talking about it.
Let's get to the issues folks.
I do think Hilary is probably happy to see a chick out there kickin' ass... I just think she'd wished it was a pro choice Democrat. Which is understandable.
As for Obama, I think a key for him now will be to SHUT BIDEN THE FUCK UP, for one, and then focuse on where McCain falters on issues of the economy, the future of the country, gas, etc. Whatever he needs to do.
But focusing on Palin, and her inexperience is a waste of time. Plus it totally UNDERMINES his campaign. He ain't got no experience either, and HE'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. Not Palin.
It also might help Obama if he starts denouncing bloggers and sites like MoveOn.org. They do not represent him or his beliefs, would be a GREAT way for him to get back some favor. Obama is good, he's just got to control these assholes that think they speak for him, and don't.
#17665 Re: The Garden » Obama raises $66 MILLION in August from donors!! » 947 weeks ago
I think the reason both of them are close is because they appeal to the average American. Both. McCain is a moderate Republican, probably the only way a Republican can win these days, and Obama has become more centralist since winning the primary, which is not a shock. He had to pander to his party.
The only people IN LOVE with either of these candidates are far end voters on either side of the party. They're gnna have to start talking issues to win, and I hate to break it to Hollywood, but anytime they ENDORSE a candidate, American voters run the other way. They know how wacky they are in Lalawood.

I need to grow up? I NEED TO GROW UP?Are you kidding?
I come from a country that's NOT anti-semetic. I come from a country that provides WOMEN rights.

I come from a country that a GAY man or GAY woman can at least walk down the street (hopefully get married one day), but we're getting there.
AND I NEED TO GROW UP?
That's fuckin' rich. All those cats that don't provide those things, in any of those countries, and still live like it's 50 years ago, and in some places 500... you'll have to excuse me if the word RAG HEAD slips out now and again.
I said you need to grow up because you seem to harbour a bit too much unjust hatred towards the Middle East and that you think nuking countries is a great idea. I can understand doing it in situations like James suggested where it may be the only option left to end a war quickly so that the focus can return to reparing all countires affected. Although I don't like the idea that a country like the US has the right to nuke anyone when they feel like
Yes, but you're underestimating the intelligence of the U.S. What you are thinking, people have thought for YEARS.
Have we nuked anyone? No.
But to have a narrow mind, a simple mindset, and think disabling nuclear arms by the U.S., would lead to world peace is DUMB thinking. The same narrow mindedness that thinks banning guns would end all gun crimes. No it won't. Good, legal gun owners amount to a small fraction of crime, if any.
The U.S. is simply saying "we will defend ourselves when the day comes". DEFEND, being the keyword there. It's IRAN that's basically saying we're gonna do it whether the world likes it or not, and if displaying their missles, and beating their chest, and doing all that shit. Not us.
There's nothing wrong with that to me. What's wrong with saying, if you start shit with us, and drop a bomb on one of our cities, we're going to make a hole, out of what USED to be your country.
For Iran, as the old saying goes, don't start nothin' - ain't gonna be nothin'.
But just because I think the enemy are Rag Heads and anti-semites, doesn't mean I harbor hatred towards the middle east. I don't hate the middle east in any way. I hate the enemy. Just like I hate Krauts, Frogs, Gooks, etc. I don't hate Germany, France or Vietnam.
Nuclear arms are a necessary evil imo. I don't want to see innocent people die, but if innocent Americans die in an attack, then we have to counter. Casualties of War.
#17667 Re: The Garden » Charles Gibson interviews Sarah Palin » 947 weeks ago
What James said. And what Palin says means nothing to me. Same with Biden.
It's Obama & McCain i'm concerned with.
#17668 Re: The Garden » Obama raises $66 MILLION in August from donors!! » 947 weeks ago
Old news. Obama had like $230mil back in the primaries. McCain opted for the alloted money.
Obama/Biden better be careful to not use the word 'elitist Republicans' or that whole 'McCain has 7 houses' thing, because the kind of money Obama has for his election will leave him WIDE OPEN for attack.
The small time, for the working class Democrat has THREE TIMES the money for his campaign than the big business Republican.
#17669 Re: The Garden » Obama figures it out » 947 weeks ago
Nobody cares what Biden has to say dude.
Get real.
#17670 Re: The Garden » Tina Fey as Sarah Palin » 947 weeks ago
Now see Snow, that's the problem with you and your posts, and people like you.
That entire bit was total satire, and you completely turned into an anti-Palin statement with that Fey for VP crack.
And yes it was funny. Whether it was for laughs or not, the nation needs to keep up the whole "Palin is a dumb chick" schtick. She's gonna ride it all the way to the White House.
