I am sure he is better off, relatively speaking, than Neil Young was in 1975. It was a comment more about Neil's attitude on art and music vs commercialism. I wish Axl had that attitude.
#1932 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating.... » 743 weeks ago
AGREE...Axl doesn't need the money anymore so he should be just the opposite of what he is. He should experiment and put out as much as possible. He could get away from Geffen if he REALLY wanted to. I think he likes having that excuse as to why he won't release anything.....
#1933 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating.... » 743 weeks ago
too much bullshit talk about how tough it is to release music....I just read this at Rolling Stone, speaking of a true brilliant songwriter....from Neil Young.
"Nobody expected Time Fades Away and I'm not sorry I put it out," Young told Rolling Stone's Cameron Crowe in 1975. "I didn't need the money, I didn't need the fame. You gotta keep changing. Shirts, old ladies, whatever. I'd rather keep changing and lose a lot of people along the way. If that's the price, I'll pay it. I don't give a shit if my audience is 100 or 100 million. It doesn't make any difference to me. I'm convinced that what sells and what I do are two completely different things. If they meet, it's coincidence.

Can't say I blame him.
I look at it like this...I've had jobs I hate. I found one I really like; boss is great, pay is great, team is great...why would I want to go back to being miserable? Why would I leave and even risk being miserable? I think that's where he is at, and I don't blame him a bit.
very true on both sides of the fence however...they made their millions then drifted apart, in the end, due to control issues.
Sad But True...huh, D. (in reference to your Lars mention-he is a definite exception as well). Since Page pretty much controlled Zep, Bonham actually had less power than Lars in Metallica. So, good call.
#1937 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Bravewords 17 minute Video Interview with Slash » 743 weeks ago
Slash pretty much tells you within the first two minutes that he wants to call the shots....very simple why him and Axl are so far apart. 
#1938 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Bravewords 17 minute Video Interview with Slash » 743 weeks ago
Matt will bend over for anybody. Unless you are John Bonham, drummers aren't calling any shots....Steven included. He is still a hired gun, sideman, and I don't care if he was a business partner in VR. He is no different in my eyes than any of Axl's orchestra. 
Fuck Sorum.;)
#1939 Re: Guns N' Roses » Change that robe, Axl » 743 weeks ago
In all fairness, Axl looks fat and happy. He is probably making some good coin at this point, and if you are on the road in such awesome places as these, what would you do at 50? I would eat, drink and be merry! Hell, I do it as well but unfortunately I am land locked to Atlanta and a day job.
Shit, he is living it up, but he still needs to go home and take care of bizness....which should obviously be another record.
#1940 Re: Guns N' Roses » Change that robe, Axl » 743 weeks ago
He looks like he ate and drank half of Spain. Really, Axl, please go home and rest.
