#2422 Re: Guns N' Roses » Where is Axl? » 937 weeks ago
can't he promote it in ways other than interviews?
Like putting a CD sticker to his car?

#2425 Re: Guns N' Roses » Just How Long has Paul Huge been around GnR? » 938 weeks ago
Paul played lead in the Lafayette band AXL in '76-79. Izzy was the drummer. In the early 80's, Ax and Izzy went to LA, which resulted with Hollywood Rose et al. That's when he hooked up with Chris Weber, who sort of took Paul's place as Ax's co-writer. I believe Back Off Bitch goes back to Ax's Indiana days.
Paul remained in Indiana, I reckon, but he kept in touch with them. Wasn't actively around that much in between '79-94.
Thanks for backing me with proofs. Some was new to me.
#2426 Re: Guns N' Roses » BETTER: second single CONFIRMED » 938 weeks ago
Better is a good choice, it's the most appealing song to both the old and the possible new fans.
#2427 Re: Guns N' Roses » Just How Long has Paul Huge been around GnR? » 938 weeks ago
Mikka, Paul is credited for writing Back Off Bitch which was a demo from the appetite sessions. He was around in 87.....
BOB is an older song, I think it was written pre-GN'R, like anything Goes. I still doubt Paul'd have been around in the AFD days. They lived like a family and nobody knew him. That's why bringin him into the band was Axl's huge surprise for the others. (I doubt that asking West Arkeen to join would have caused such a hostility, because he was around and they knew him.) I think it's the same old, same old to legitimate the CD band like it'd have been originated in the AFD days. Just like saying that Dizzy's sorta part of the AFD line-up.

of course it does. Unfortunately, Axl owns it due to the complete ignorance of his former band members.:|
More like due to the drunken/drugged stupor that they were in for pretty much the entire time the old band was together.
Don't forget about greed.
#2429 Re: Guns N' Roses » Just How Long has Paul Huge been around GnR? » 938 weeks ago
That was a nickname. Sorta. Just like they didn't know Dizzy's name when he joined the group.

This 'Axl's childhood friend' and 'Paul was around since the beginning' story is bullshit. Axl didn't even know his name when the UYIs came out, that's why he's called Huge instead of Tobias. Yeah, they met in their teens or something like that, but he wasn't around at all. Came back sometime in 1993-1994.
