The guy is always like that,,,, always is AXL fault.
He needs to Get the fuck out Slash ass ! IMO
Okay, what about the other posts before him 'blaming' it on Axl?
And, for your information, since you clearly have a minimal grasp of things like sarcasm and dry humor, I put blaming in quotations because he wasn't actually blaming it on Axl. Consider that your first lesson in forum sarcasm, and more specifically buzz's sarcasm.
On a similar vein, it is clear when buzz is being serious and when he's joking. Not even he would blame this on Axl.

If they would have put more money into the stage, this would have never happened. Axl's greed caused this.
I have heard from an inside source it was Madison who destroyed the stage. Axl wouldn't let her wear a Slash shirt.

"RIO UPDATE: They're now saying the venue actually experienced a minor tornado. Either that or regional Global media blowing usual hot air.
J/k !! Love, El Gordo!! "
Gordo means fat, right?

Unfortunately Axl's bad public perception and it's persistance to this very day is largely his own doing. Is it an accurate perception - probably not entirely. But peoples perceptions are their realities so the only way to change that (if you wish to) is to try and show them something different going forward. Simply arguing the facts (what Slash might have said or done, he's a cancer, a liar) won't change most peoples opinions - even if Axl is telling the truth. It's too late, the damage is done, that horse has bolted long ago.
You can only work on moving forward and demonstrating through your actions that peoples inital perception was incorrect, irrespective of what Slash has or hasn't said. Unnfortuantely Axl hasn't had much success changing the publics perception of him and that has largely been due to his actions and behaviours since.
The ironic thing is that even though Slash pretty much says only nice or polite things about Axl these days when asked in interviews, I imagine this would still really piss off Axl, because again Slash is made to look like the gracious one out of this whole petty affair and Axl the angry, vindictive, spiteful child.
It's a bit like looking at the bands breakup as the 7 stages of grieving, Slash is at the final stage "Acceptance and Hope". Axl is stuck at the "Anger" stage.
'¢Shock or Disbelief
'¢Denial
'¢Bargaining
'¢Guilt
'¢Anger
'¢Depression
'¢Acceptance and Hope
Just being a little nitpicky, but your 7 stages are actually 5. Especially since disbelief and denial go hand in glove as do bargaining and guilt.
So it's really:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
Those are the correct stages and correct order. Anger is second.
#675 Re: The Sunset Strip » Soundgarden reunites » 869 weeks ago
Latest rumor from some Seattle sources is that SG are in the studio.
Cornell has been in Seattle a lot the past couple months, but doesn't live there, so it would seem to make sense.
#676 Re: The Sunset Strip » Soundgarden reunites » 869 weeks ago
Maybe Beta's decided to take on a side project and manage Soundgarden. Hope Cornell doesn't marry her too. Though that make us more likely to see a Cornell/Axl collaboration.
James, I think the lack of general interest in this is all their fault. There was a ton of interest the year prior. It seemed like there was a new rumor every week about Soundgarden. And then they come out and make an announcement at the beginning of this year and everyone is excited to see them again and wondering if they can still pull it off, especially wondering if Cornell still have the vocal range and stamina required to pull off a Soundgarden show.
And through all this excitement and buzz, not one fucking word from them. This picture would look a lot different if the ones in charge of the artistry had taken control of it and not left it to the public decide what it would look like, because without something crammed down our throats every 10 minutes, we as a culture easily forget and move onto the next thing.
Whoever is behind this silence bullshit is seriously messing up. In our culture, you can't have silence like this and expect there to be a huge buzz and interest. If they start making announcements, keeping fans updated, maybe hold a press conference with all of them their, do interviews, post on twitter, post on their website, make a youtube video, release an unheard song to wet fans' appetites, get on a forum and talk, tell fans they are in the studio working hard on an album, announce tour dates..... they have a huge pool of options to choose from but silence is not one of them.
I find it hilarious that my two favorite bands seem to operate in the same manner.
I think it's time to shit or get off the pot. Release the b-sides and demos and call it a day.

Soundgarden will not be touring in May.
I hate how we have to try and guess their touring schedule by looking at when PJ are touring.
#678 Re: The Sunset Strip » Pink Floyd Wins Court Battle With EMI » 869 weeks ago
This is a step in the right direction, at least as far as Pink Floyd is concerned.
The new generation is even more obsessed with singles that albums like those that PF released suffer greatly when just one or two songs are downloaded off of each album. I'm glad PF ended them selling single songs off their concept albums.
This wouldn't work for new bands though, and honestly shouldn't happen the same way. There's a huge leap from PF to newer bands today and it's found in the albums they produce. Artists now are even more focused on putting out singles and then just filling up the rest of the album and not caring too much.
#679 Re: The Sunset Strip » Evo Album of the Week: Soundgarden- Down on the Upside » 869 weeks ago
I have to disagree James that half the album is near filler quality. It may have taken a while to set in for me, but there are only a couple songs I would rank in that category. The album starts with this amazing guitar line and it just doesn't let up any intensity until it's done.
That's one of the things I admire about Soundgarden the most. They can take a softer song like Zero Chance and Overfloater and still put so much intensity behind it. Usually bands release albums and the faster songs have all the intensity and then you get to the slower ones and it just falls flat. Soundgarden, no matter what they do, they bring such energy and life into the music, it just blows me away. It's something that is seen far too little, especially into today's realm of music.
This album above all else gets me excited to see what Soundgarden could do in the studio. I'd like to see the natural progression they take after this one.
Off this album my least favorite songs are Never Named, Applebite (amazing musically but lacking lyrically) an An Unkind. Everything else I love.
This however is one of those albums that I listen to straight through.
#680 Re: The Sunset Strip » Shooter Jennings » 869 weeks ago
This album has really struck a chord with me. All of This Could Have Been Yours just hit me hard when I first heard it, and then I heard the reprise and the guitar on that one blew me away.
