if the money is right, Slash is your bitch....video games, commercials, vodka, session work with Michael Jackson, selling out to the modern rock crap....SOLD OUT...he's a whore at this point. Unfortunately, I think Axl could use a good lay.:laugh:

I never understood why people have an issue with slash doing his thing...he's in demand, he keeps busy, he's making money and music, what would any of you do if everyone in the world wanted your services? oh no man i dont wanna sell out....riigght you would

Slash has made a great name for himself and he keeps himself out there...his multi-ethnical background market him perfectly as well as his personal history....the man has dated and married porn stars, been an addict and clean, been broke as fuck and richer than any of us could dream, hes british and american, is an icon of the music industry..the man is an icon in the industry ... as big as any name in music ever...yet he gets flack for doing what he does...i'll tell ya what Slash is the one keeping the GnR name alive....not these other fucking guys including Axl.

You see that GNR Greatest Hits on the shelf? it sold  cuz some kids wanted to learn to play some classic guitar solos and riffs..it sold cuz it was released on the heels of Contraband and peopel were reminded how great Slash is, see that Guitar Hero Game? Slash is bringing GnR to a whole new generation cuz thats what language the kids speak these days, you see the promotion for AFD's 20th? who did it? thats right Slash was the one doign interviews regarding the band? See the Mcfarlane aaction figures? where is the Axl one....where is Axl's book? EVERYFUCKING thing that you could find that is remotely positive for GnR these days is Slash news...and Axl remains silent, so where is the "heart and soul" of the band during all this sitting up in malibu with his thumb up his ass...the very ocasional update about "HIS" band...oh yeah a cameo on GTA:SA... but hes cheesy cameo isnt selling out, Slash in Guitar Hero is though, i dont understand

anyway i dont understand how someone who sold 40 Million records could sell out any more than they already have.... i mean really here...i think that people are jealous that someone who isnt in the band is actually the the one with the most integrity and fame regarding the band...if you are nt doing anything you arent relevant...Slash stays in the public eye so he stays relevant..i cannot see how this is something negative

Its a fuckign shame  that these two guys cant straighten their shit out cuz they made magic together...and it saddens me that there are GnR fans who hate Slash....how can you be a gnr fan if you dont like this man? i just dont fucking get it at all

there is my rant of the year

Neemo your "rant of the year" is one of if not the greatest posts I have ever read in all the time I have posted on internet forums. Not just Gn'R forums but internet forums. you absolutely nailed. This whole idea of defending Axl for his "integrity" and knocking Slash for his "selling out" is pure garbage and hugely hypocritical.  I bow down to you Neemo. That's was brilliant!!

Haha tell us how you really feel, russt.

DTJ - My favorite comment is when we get the rare vague update from Del on the
website after months of silence, and its followed by the axlites complaining about our
bitching for updates that we're never happy with the updates we get.

The funny thing is, the majority of updates the fans get are BECAUSE of our bitchng.
