When the Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, Helm didn't attend, revealing that his feud with Robertson was still on. "I thought Levon was going to show," Robertson told Rolling Stone a few years later. "Then that evening they said he changed his mind and wasn't going to come. And I thought, 'Oh, God, it would have been better if he was here.'"

so many examples of rock and roll egos...Ax and Slash are just another chapter....
You know, I would respect Axl to a degree, if he had the balls at least to write down his true motives. But instead we've got an 1,000 word rambling essay and another one about evertything, but the cause. Reading it is like analyzing a politician's shady, double talkin' liar speech: only the real motive is missing, as the word 'Slash' does not even appear in either of his statements. So some fans (interestingly enough: those who denied earlier that he wouldn't go) are acting like it'd be Axl's rebellious move against the corporate music industry and the lack of credibility the Hall has for not inducting KISS and Rush.
Seriously. How can these people live their daily life if they are so out of touch of reality and common sense?

Yeah, wait a few months and he'll be the rebel who didn't show up cause Rush and KISS are still not inducted. What a joke.

The most interesting part is the TV show's band playing You're A Lie in the beginning though.

#756 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN’R screenplay in the works » 759 weeks ago
I'd love to see a Gn'R film ala Walk the Line or from an outsiders perspective ala Almost Famous
Great idea. This could be from Marc Canter's point of view and would be about only the early days.
Maybe I'm too much of a fanboy, but I can't imagine only one movie covering the entire GN'R story, not even the 'Live Era' days. So it should be limited to a story of 2 or 3 years and the rest could be told briefly in the end of the film.

GN’R screenplay in the works
http://www.torontosun.com/2012/04/17/dr … screenplay
Former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum is working on a screenplay about the band.
The rocker, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside former G N' R bandmates Slash and Duff McKagan at the weekend, has revealed he thinks there has never been a better time to revisit the band's heyday for a movie.
He tells VH1, "I've talked about doing a screenplay and that's actually something that I'm in talks about with a couple of pretty big people. The only problem with that is figuring out how to work out the music situation.
"If you look at rock and roll movies, they've never been done right. The only ones that I actually thought were decent were The Doors movie, (which) I thought was decent and I liked the Johnny Cash film (Walk The Line). If you look at any of those other kind of traditional rock flicks, like Mark Wahlberg and Rock Star and all those, they're all kind of dumb.
"If there was a film about Guns N' Roses, the thing about Guns N' Roses that was different than all the butt rock bands in Hollywood was that it was down and dirty and punk rock and real. As much as anyone wants to say they want to try to lump it in with hair metal, it never was because it was a different kind of energy.
"There was a much sort of more street, dark undercurrent happening that could be great on film."

With such a generous outpouring of solidarity from fans, media outlets, writers and other artists, I'm truly humbled, blown away and unbelievably relieved!
What the hell is he talking about? He's being ripped by the fans.
well, in general a negative person will complain in the easiest way possible.
someone with an attempt to reach out to axl in this situation may pick up the phone or send an email or message via website, etc. you wouldn't hear about those. the supporters may also go unnoticed because everyone is a hard ass online. having said that, i am sure the overwhelming majority stance is the obvious one.
Jarmo cleared HTGTH then Beta let Axl take a look at the 'fans' comments'.
#759 Re: Guns N' Roses » RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements) » 759 weeks ago
Axl felt the anger and hatred and wanted to explain his motives...but he hasn't. I don't get it. He's very careful to be civic, but still says nothing. The 'congratulation to the other artists' sounds still disturbing to me. He could have thanked the other ex-members and the others. Maybe it's just me, but why he didn't say (in the first place) that 'This is my past. Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven, Matt and Dizzy..we had a helluva band. Thanks for the great times, but my present and future is DJ, Ron, Tommy etc. I don't have any interest to revisit my past, it'd be too painful for a lot of reasons, so I'm not going. Thanks again and enjoy the show'. Or whatever. But it's clear that the HOF still bugs him.

This.
And before anyone pulls the "Axlite Card" yes, I mean Axl too.
Difference is unlike Axl Rose these other "letter writing dicks" have the guts, the integrity and the respect for the fans to address certain issues in person and they also had the decency to show up for the induction realizing it was for the fans more than anything. If a guy who was there and gave a speech and performed and has been vocal about trying to get the original guys to reconcile wants to write a letter to the fans then he has ever right to do so. I appreciate what he wrote and a person who's honest with themselves will aacknowldege there's a huge fucking diference between what this "letter writing dick" wrote and what that other "LETTER WRITING DICK" wrote. Axl hides behind a fucking pen and paper, the others do not. BIG DIFFERENCE. I guess if Gilby wanted to address the fans via a letter he'd also be a letter writing dick now too wouldn't he? Face it even DJ thought the original guys should reunite for the event. That tells ya all ya need to know.
Agree. Matt went into details even about a disturbing moment (ie the Steven remarks at the HOF), while Axl's extremely long letter is about everything, but insight. That was just a chaotic, narcistic smokescreen.
I know, Matt only wants some spotlight with this letter, and he's only nice to the fans, cause he has no integrity and a sell-out...
