#741 Re: Guns N' Roses » Eddie Trunk Thoughts on Reunion » 566 weeks ago
I don't think any of this so-called stuff exists.
I think Axl knows the business is a racket, ran by crooks, charletons, underage pussy peddlers, and at worse, possibly Zionist Illuminatists.
Axl doesn't give a flying fuck. Axl will only do ANYTHING associated with the major business aspect at this point, IF and only IF it COMPLETELY benefits Axl Rose or Guns N' Roses as a whole.
That's it. He's not going to compromise himself, his family, his friends, or his bandmates to do it the way he sees fit. If that means he sits at the house for 10 years to accomplish that... well... that's what happens
Whatever came up, Axl just didn't FEEL like it. And he could be right. Who knows? Maybe he didn't feel Kimmel was the right venue for such a huge moment.
I don't think the guy is crazy. I've actually always wondered if he has some sort of undisclosed health issue. Maybe he's got Colitis or something. People say he's unpredictable and inconsistent, but Axl's been consistent for YEARS. He's consistently blowing off the business
There must be a precise reason imo. The 2002 VMA situation DID NOT help. And even in the post-interview with Loder, when Loder asked him questions, you could tell Axl was on a completely different page than Loder was.

My guide showed Axl Rose as well, but it was Jon Favreau on the show.
#743 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose To Talk "Guns N Roses" on Jmmy Kimmel Live(Not Happening) » 566 weeks ago
I thought having threesomes with moms and daughters just made you more of a rock n' roll legend?
But yeah that '91 lineup is still my fave (although this 2016 lineup might be a close bad ass second if Izzy shows up).
But yeah... Matt... you look up TOOL in the dictionary, and his picture will be there. The dude is a glorious douche. Talented... but an asshat.
#744 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who here is going to Coachella? » 566 weeks ago
I really hate that they agreed to do it in Coachella. Then again if Izzy & Steven/Matt are there, it makes more sense to keep it local in Cali.
Coachella is just a big crappy poser-fest, loaded with Kardashian cell phone Beverly Hills wanna be cool hipster fags.
To me it's all so pretentious that I wasn't happy that GN'R were reuniting at Coachella to begin with. To me, I think it would've been cooler, because a Guns reunion is such a huge ticket, to have piggy backed on to a rock or metal festival in order to support the genre, and gain their street cred back.
Then again based on what we've heard from the scraps out of the vault, Axl has Geoff Tate-syndrome and is more interested in being an avant-garde pop-rock artist than a metalhead.
#745 Re: Guns N' Roses » Same Old, Same Old » 566 weeks ago
See the problem James is that... i've always felt that Team Brazil follows Axl's lead. If Axl coasts, lazily so to speak, TB coasts as well.
I don't think a reunion is going to change how they operate and make them pick it up because there might be nearly $100 million on the line.
I think if anything... they'll be worse. I hate to say that, but it's just how I feel.
I think TB, and Axl, are going to look at it as "we brought back your golden guitar God, ugh..." and are going to just let it ride. They are going to feel, JUST having Slash there is enough to half-ass everything, because "hey, it's a reunion, people will come to US to do business".
Not to mention Slash & Duff will probably do most of the promo work. Which will make them sit on their ass even more.
I just don't see them running harder on this. I think they'll actually slow down and just jog.
The problem with new music and GN'R doing anything, is regardless of Slash & Duff doing promo (which I fully support), Slash & Duff WILL NOT have ANY say in the future of Guns. What's coming out, how, when, and where.
GN'R is still the property of W. Axl Rose. Nothing has changed, except Slash & Duff finally signed on a dotted line to be contract players on a contract that Axl drew up in Dec. 1995. They finally gave in.
This is still Mr. Rose's game.
Hopefully shit will change. Hopefully...
#746 Re: Guns N' Roses » So... new music » 566 weeks ago
Good to see you again James, I personally think that This I Love didn't have a solo. At all.
I've always felt Robin's additional solo to This I Love was a late addition, and i've always been curious when it was added.
When I went back and remixed the song from the mogg's, and tuned the guitar down to being a backer to the orchestra, even with the original studio mix for TIL, the solo felt tacked on. The orchestra however flowed so organically with the song, like it was all written together.
I think Axl felt it was too Andrew Lloyd Webber, too Freddie Mercury, and panicked and feeling that every GN'R ballad needs a big guitar solo, called Robin in.
If any solo had to be on it, i'd rather have DJ's, but I was always curious was Richard wasn't used. Richard crushes them both on lead, and could've provided a nice Slash-touch to the song.
It's still bizarre how Robin was used on that song. And all that beating off to the solo by the Robinites got old. Never got it. Even for Robin, it kinda sucks as a solo. All DJ did was come in and repair the parts that didn't flow right. Duck taped it so to speak. DJ didn't fix it, he just made the song work live.
#747 Re: Guns N' Roses » So whose back » 566 weeks ago
I've been essentially lurking since the RRHOF.
Where's Axlin?
Today saw Acquiesce, YG, KV, Evader,etc. in one shot. I was shocked as I've known all of them for years yet haven't seen them in years. A few weeks ago mrsaxlrose came back who I hadn't seen since the ROV days. Furbush came back when Weiland died. More people as well but I think you're referring to the old timers from HTGTH.
Get a few more walking through the door and it'll really feel like HTGTH back in 2005.
Where's Axlin?
There's still some who are MIA.
Axlin and I used to chat a good bit. He was active maybe a year ago... I remember I had to listen to each track of WOF. At first he was like, "Axl would never play on that shit", but I said remove Myles and listen to the music, he came back impressed and I think he said 5 songs with Axl would be killer. haha.
You rang? Timing is everything. 
#748 Re: Guns N' Roses » So... new music » 566 weeks ago
TIL has the worst lyrics Axl has ever sung.
You're fucking crazy. Fall To Pieces is a Danger Danger-reject song compared to This I Love. Fall To Pieces sonically is ace. Weiland cheapened it.
Axl is the only guy that could do it right.
This I Love was always better with JUST the orchestra and not that suckass solo from Robin. BUT if ANYONE could get that solo right and make This I Love a proper guitar-driven song, it's Slash.
#749 Re: Guns N' Roses » Same Old, Same Old » 566 weeks ago
Bwhahahaha
Good to see you again too. I've taken a HUGE break from all of this, and have gotten most of my news from news sources (rather than the forums). And even from news sources, since September or so, the news hasn't had SHIT. Neither has Eddie Trunk, and Slash denied everything (like I knew he would).
Not much has changed in all this. I wanted to wait until we saw something concrete, and it looks like this is a concrete as it gets. I told a friend about Axl's Jimmy Kimmel appearence, and up until today, I was anxiously awaiting it. Only to find out he cancelled it. I told the friend about the cancellation, and it was just the look of "we all knew this would happen".
NOTHING in the world of Guns operates normal. Then again, if everything operated normal, they'd just be another fucking band.
But hey, it's never boring in the world of Guns N' Roses. And to this very day, they are still the most unpredictable band in the world.
#750 Re: Guns N' Roses » I know we're all excited but... » 566 weeks ago
How pissed will you be if Axl shows up bloated and singing for shit?
I don't give a shit about Axl's weight. But vocally I hope he's spot on. If he's vocally there, people will forgive his weight (not that he's ever been fat, I wish people would shut up about that).
But this is ALL on Axl. If Axl wants his legacy to be the SUCKY ONE in the reunion, that's his choice, and the fall out will be all on him. His legacy will be on the line.
If he doesn't want to suck, he'll get in shape vocally, study hard, train hard, talk to experts on vocals, get a coach, surgery, change his vocal style and the key the songs are played in to adjust his vocals...
Whatever it takes to me a sound show.
I'm hoping, like the Izzy & Duff shows that Axl will show an entirely different energy to try harder and be better just by having guys like Slash & Duff there.
