Izzy Stradlin: (VOX 1991)
Rose's craving for control reached its apparent zenith a month before this tour when he called for the resignation of Alan Niven, the group's New Zealand-born manager for the past five years, accusing him, from at least one stage on tour, of excessive greed. Several of the band won't be drawn into commenting on the break-up. Neither will Niven. Izzy Stradlin, however, "felt really bad about it, because I'm still friends with Alan. I felt I had to choose between him and the band. He was kinda like the sixth member of the group for a while. And he really helped put us where we are now. I still think he's a great manager.
So the man was the George Martin of Guns N' Roses. 
I wonder how reunionist could forget about him. Alan Niven is Guns N' Roses!

Former GUNS N' ROSES manager Alan Niven has contacted BW&BK/Bravewords.com exclusively with the following:
"I sincerely wish to congratulate Izzy, Slash, Steven, Duff and Axl on their induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. I am delighted that they are all alive to see, and enjoy, this special day and honor. Well done for surviving the appetites ...
Unfortunately, I must send my regrets but I myself cannot attend. I have a prior engagement - my neighbor Steve Miller is coming over for Bar-B-Q. He's bringing a bunch of his old FREE and DEEP PURPLE records with him."
I don't get it. He acts like he would have been the forgotten 6th band member in the AFD days.

Thanks!
Is it the intro riff of Welcome To The Jungle in the beginning, by car horns?
I support the idea, but the timing is not the best as Slash's new album is coming out and it's from the previous one. He will not lose any buyer with it though. Such a strong track, should have been a monster hit.

Your opinions on Axl and GN'R are pretty much irrelevant to me, especially Mikka, personally, because of how jaded you guys are and how YOU decide to interact with people.
Learn how to talk to people, bono. What is pathetic is your constant, needless, unusual aggression and temper tantrums and how you like to attack people. Take a pill, take a hit, or whatever, and calm down. It's not that big of a deal.
I've said many times that this could all easily be Axl's fault. I'd totally accept that if it's the case. There seems to be a lot more going on than that, imo. I haven't ignored anything. And there's still a possibility that they could play... This obviously means more to you guys than me if they play at the HOF. The HOF easily means more to you than me, considering your constant meltdowns on the subject.
And if this doesn't mean that much to you personally, in the real world, good. I hope so.
The day you stop telling people who dont' share your view that they are misreable people and unhappy in their own lives is the day I show you repsect. It doesn't effect me at all. It has no baring on my level of happiness so the notion that you continue to express that it does is a fucking joke dude. You need help.
Fascinating that people who cannot accept the reality and hate those that bring it into their la-la-la-land can be so touchy. mrID is on my ignore list, so I don't even read his posts, only if somebody's quoting it. But I feel my decision is justified by every bit of what I happen to see from him.
For some of you, mrID, DCK and some others, it's a battle for Axl. Good for you. Your only hope for the HOF is a hug to 'piss some people off' here. Good for you. BTW it's pathetic that you are teaching others how to behave, how to think, how not to think, and you dare to send people to psychiatrist, when you are utterly fuckin' crazy - or more of a zealot than a Stalinist. Keep on preachin', guys, Axl will invite backstage someday.

I guess those are the mind readers who nix all the interviews from the past 15 years and try to fabricate a paralel universe, where Slash or Izzy is the roadblock. Funny people.
#866 Re: Guns N' Roses » RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements) » 763 weeks ago
Alright. Anyone who doesn't go cause there'll be cameras is a fuckin' moron. What's next? Missing your own birthday party, cause there will be some cake?
Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven (and Matt and Dizzy). Go there. Smile. Hug. Be civic. Then you can go separate ways. But any of you who doesn't show up can go to hell. Nuff said.

This album's gonna rock.

"Why is it that Axl's posse hate Slash so much?"
Slash said he'd go back if GNR was run like 'a proper band'.
Guess whose asses would be first out the door if that was to happen..?
Axl.
A full reunion cannot function, since Axl hasn't matured in the past 20 years. He wants total control and still very moody (late starts, no action etc.), but the others will never accept the employee status and would never give away all the rights of the decisions. The only meeting point is that both Axl and Slash are very comfortable with touring a lot. Would be good enough for a farewell tour though, if (IF) Axl can put it over the secret pass conflicts, i.e. his enoromous hatred.

Interesting interview from Duff... It seems they'll decide last minute what to do on April 14th...
So nobody said 'no', but not all of them (or none of them) said 'yes' or anything at all.
#870 Re: Guns N' Roses » What will happen at HOF between Axl/Slash » 763 weeks ago
Boring. You were a fine JimBob parody (well, a parody of a parody) for a few posts, but there is nothing more in this role. Bring back BringBackAdler!
