Ooooh, wonder what THAT means.

Three guesses

A little snipe at 'Rose n Roses' latest guitarist?   That was my first thought but now thinking about it I don't think he would intentionally imply something like that, but just my op.

As I thought 'lame'. Axl probably thinks this was another azoff power play.

I agree with D - time to prove your guns n roses Axl. New music!

So how's it gonna work out 'we induct guns n roses minus w. Axl rose?'

The only thing that makes me sad about this is the lauding over Axl at what essentially is a sad situation for gnr fans. The more fucked up it is with the old band the better for some people.

Mikka, Slash admitted he lied about the visit.

"Under the circumstances I feel we've been polite, courteous, and open to an amicable solution in our efforts to work something out. Taking into consideration the history of Guns N' Roses, those who plan to attend along with those the Hall for reasons of their own, have chosen to include in "our" induction (that for the record are decisions I don't agree with, support or feel the Hall has any right to make), and how (albeit no easy task) those involved with the Hall have handled things... no offense meant to anyone but the Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony doesn't appear to be somewhere I'm actually wanted or respected."

Mad, I'm thinking Matt being inducted is what he's protesting, and maybe something about the new line up, maybe not to let them be inducted but to acknowledge them. I don't know, that comment was very vague. If their were negotiations to try and find common ground as what he had a problem with, I don't understand what he means that they didn't ask anything of them.

I mean, the first thing that entered my mind was that he wanted to do his speech seperately from the other guys, but again, that's just conjecture as we don't know what the hell is going on... even when Axl tells us!

@Mikka

Would you want to stand on stage next to a man with a mental age of 2 who has blamed you for the break up of the band and the inability for the group to reunite?

The chances of something bad happening accelerate with Adler up there unrestrained. Expect someone to make a crack at his expense.

I don't have a problem with the decision. Certain members of the old band (*cough Adler *cough) have seemingly made this a risky venture for Axl. I think he feared an attempt to embarrass him or force into a performance or conversation that he does not want to have.

I am shocked he is turning down the award completely. He could have accepted it en absentia.

PS. Steven Adler really should reap the lion's share of blame for his inability to keep his trap shut all these months. It was a volatile situation to start, but he made the situation unbearable.

I feel we've been polite, courteous, and open to an amicable solution in our efforts to work something out. ...For the record, I would not begrudge anyone from Guns their accomplishments or recognition for such. Neither I or anyone in my camp has made any requests or demands of the Hall Of Fame..
