Guys..there is no huge scandal behind the Slash Axl rift. Please let that one go.
Beta or Fernando would have blabbed that all over the media by now. They couldn't keep that kind of shit to themselves and would jump on any opportunity to rubbish Slash. If Slash really did something that bad, why would all the old guys still be his friend?
Some dude was quoted recently here that Axl was telling a gathering of musicians that he hates Slash because he tried to take over GNR and messed with his creativity. The word 'obsessed' was mentioned.
No mention of fucking anyone's girlfriend was made or even alluded to.
What Axl won't acknowledge is that his obsession with Slash has blocked his own creativity. Once again he's trying to blame others for his own failings.
Slash called Axl out on being a dick for taking GNR.
The only way Axl could bury that accusation was to release an album of music so good that the world would look to Axl and say "you were right to take the band from the old guys, this music is SOOOOO much better".Problem was, this level of pressure he put on himself created such a huge fear of failure that it took him 15 years to have the balls to take on the GNR legacy with CD and even then the album was ripped from his hands and forced to market.
He blames Slash for the near impossible task he ended up with - bettering AFD and the UYIs... the fact is that this was his own doing. He realised that his ego was writing checks his talent couldn't cash.
Please remember that Slash did go to Axl's house to try to sort things out only to be rebuffed and subsequently shit upon in a public message from Axl that was revoked and changed but designed to inflict the most damage on the guy.
That is not an honorable way to live your life.Slash is not some evil genius, he's just a nice bloke/dodgy junkie who wrote blues guitar.
Axl is not some hugely wronged and tragic individual by the same token. He's a manic obsessive whose talent and paranoia have worked for and against each other with spectacular and pathetic results in equal measure.This is not Watergate, its just a rock n roll band who lost perspective.
I've been lurking here for a hot minute lol, but I'm glad the freak show is over. I must say it's funny how some show their colors and and still expect all these years, for Axl to do whatever THEY want him to do. Whether one agrees with it or not I still respect the decision and won't call him a little "this or that" (i.e. loser, coward, p*ssy, among other jabs lmao) just cause he didn't do what I as a complete STRANGER wanted him to do.
And to intercourse, maybe Axl feels the same way about he others always dishing on him and whatever he did whenever/whatever. The "not honorable way to live your life part" who the hell are you to tell some one how to live THEIR lives, even if it is Axl's ? If anything if I hadn't spoken to someone in I dunno how long and they came up to my house unnanounced and not sober then I'm thinking like, "really man lol!" If you can't come correct to me in an un inebriated manner and sit down man to man or woman to woman and need to be be high/drunk or whatever in order to just wanna "talk" to me then it's not the other mother f*cker whom you're trying to talk to who has the problem it's YOU. That said Axl or Beta or whomever was a little too thirsty by running to tell folks that Slash said this or that while he was over there.
And another thing "trying to make everyone forget old GNR" what is with folks with that ignorant statement? So you really think that Axl is trying or wants to do THAT? Hell in that case we might as well forget about his ass as well, since he was apart of old GNR. That also means he is trying to get folks to believe that the new band had something to do with their intial success/or that folks won't ever stop wanting a reunion, or that folks should stop caring about the old members, then in that case he still wouldn't have talked to any of the old members after 1990s. So you don't think he knows that already, that some folks will never see this band as GNR period, new/old or whatever?
I mean some of the "fans" really needs to get over feelings hurt about the HOF and Axl's antics already cause some of you are starting to believe ANYTHING about him at this point.

Now back to the regularly scheduled programming or whatever that is at this point?
