How old is that Slash picture? Five years? That's where your argument fails. Youtube videos prove your Axlite love fest wrong even more. I don't care about Axl's weight. No. He's a singer, not a top model. But bullshitting that Slash is fat, is a new Axlite low point. You'll crave even deeper, I'm sure. Good luck. Maybe you'll get a backstage pass one day.

Man, you've come to the stage of Axlite fanboyism, where I can only congratulate and stay silent in the awe of the perfect manifestation.

It's not the 'your hero is fatter than mine' game. Slash of today looks like someone who goes to the gym every day. Axl looks like someone who... does not. He still looks great for his age. But the 'Slash is chubby' shit is... so Axlite. no wonder that your kind is so free to form any opinion, when even in the most simple cases you can see a different reality. Where is your stargate?
BTW I don't care about their weight, it's other people's interest, but your argument is ridiculous.

The RRHOF reunion would be one of the greatest moments of rock music, especially in the sad past decade. Even if they'd suck. It'd be greater than anything that happened in the GN'R land since the UYI twins. Even if it's only a 15 minute performance, even if it's the final chapter and it's all they'd do together for the rest of their lives. Releasing CD left-overs is very minor, compared to this, and, which is more important, the RRHOF reunion would have no effect on a 'planned' new Axl album, except the brand 'Guns N' Roses' would get so much publicity that it'd only help the sales.

BTW Slash chubby? 16

And seeing how Slash denied it all happened, then recanted and said "well I was there, but this is what actually happened" just never sat well with me.

I think a meeting of some sort happened whether it was between a gate, or Axl upstairs listening why Beta talked to a shitfaced Slash, or whatever.

Slash was drunk as hell, and his story was inconsistent about it. Frankly... how does he know what the hell happened?

And considering Axl never ever tried a stunt like that before or after... I tend to go with Axl's side....

You know, we all have our theories, but 1, Axl in his press release stated that Slash was sober. 2, he said that Beta talked to Slash, so in this case he wasn't even there and has no clue about it 3, he released that vicious stuff months after the supposed meeting. These are crying for the usual made-up paranoid shit by the Axl camp, or even worse, a very calculated lie to diminish VR. He did the same nasty stuff to get the name, he probably did it again in his palladine battle against Slash, the Satan.

Plus. We don't know who said what. But in the recent weeks, Duff did everything to validate the spineless badge, considering what he said and done against Axl not that long ago. Plus. Scott himself admitted when he left VR, that he was phoning it, and was only there for the money. Plus. Nobody likes Matt Sorum. 16

Anyway, I would even believe some of the Axl camp's story, if the "Slash came to inform Axl that..in this ongoing war, contest or whatever anyone wants to call it that Slash has waged against Axl for the better part of 20 years, that Axl has proven himself 'the stronger'." Bullshit. Never happened. Only in Axl's dreams. Everyday.

Slash's last story is much more believable to me. "I actually did go to Axl's house at one point, but I never saw him. I never talked to him. I left a note with his person over there having to do with lawsuit that we were in. I don't know how it got turned into what it got turned into."
He could have handed a paper in which he stated the withdrawal of the lawsuit, as it was reported a few weeks later. Sorry, but with such an egomaniac, , bitter, selfish and manipulating guy that Axl is, I tend not to believe his all time bullshitting, and I pray that a reunion will never happen, cause this guy would kill all that good memories left from their glory days.

Slash & Duff both had to run around putting out alot of fires after that breakup. I don't know if i've lost respect for them, because Slash & Duff have never had any respect for singers... so why start now, lol?

They seem to have a completely dysfunctional relationship with them. And unlike Axl, who seems to be gracious at allowing bandmates (or employees, depends on how you see it), to have their little solo sections and pushing them forward and himself back.

Slash & Duff have always seemed obsessed with "being the star". Even Slash will only allow Myles so much leash during his live shows, until he's front and center again. Duff has a side band that just has to have his name/title above the band name, they can't seem to get VR back online, they're both totally disinterested nor do they care about being back in GN'R, etc.

Maybe Slash & Duff's days of being in actual bands are over...

Wrong. Slash and Duff (and Izzy) hates to work with assholes, and a lot of singers are egomaniac assholes who think they are the band, and the others are only there to back-up them. It's that simple. Slash's fine with Myles, and as far as I know, he was fine with Eric Dover, too. Axl and Scott are among the worst personalities in the rock industry, while Snakepit 2 just fell apart.
Never believe Axl's lie that he gives 'space' to the guys with the solo spots - in fact, he needs them to be there, until he gets some oxygen offstage. They are employees and don't even wanna be more. As long as the money arrives, they'll be happy. Well, Slash and Duff are far above it, both mentally and as a musician, otherwise they'd still be in the band.

Ron. BH is close second and Frank is the third. Finally someone who can play the drums.

Slash, Joe Bonamassa Win Guitar Awards

http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/N … 0111-2012/

Guitar International feted two of Gibson heroes last week with major awards.

Joe Bonamassa was voted Guitarist of the Year in honor of his new album Dustbowl and Black Country Communion’s world tour and live DVD.

“Though still a young 34 years of age, this guitar slinger has accomplished more than most players could imagine to achieve in a lifetime, and 2011 was a testament to the hard work, dedication and hours spent in the practice room and on the bandstand by this guitar great,” Guitar International said in a statement.

And our man Slash was given a Lifetime Achievement Award. “A guitarist who has revived his career (twice, with his recent solo albums after Velvet Revolver’s demise), played with Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper and many more music icons, and held his commitment to rock over his entire career certainly deserves Guitar International’s Lifetime Achievement Award. And with his impeccable track record, one can only assume Slash has much more rock ’n’ roll in the tank.”

As a matter of fact, he does – and the engine is revving up now for a new album due later this year. Congrats, Joe and Slash!

TWAT having 3 votes are solely Slash/VR fanboys that are gonna vote against CD period (even though there's been a couple times the Libertad trx should've won out).


Out of what we've heard so far, TWAT is the best thing to come out of Axl since 1991 -- AT LEAST. It's arguably one of the best GN'R songs ever made.

I disagree. Had it been a Slash/VR fanboy move, the same would have happened in the previous rounds. It did not. I was the one and only who voted against Prostitute, although many, many people were disappointed with that song. They didn't vote, or chose to vote off Dime.
This time I voted for Pills to go, because IMO it's a VR B-side and TWAT is, I agree, the best song we've heard from Axl in the past 20 years. Some people may be sick of the idolization of the tune, and even I see some weaker parts, but it's an awesome number. Quality music.

Judging by his general behavior, Axl has a relatively low frustration tolerance.

He knows what he wants out of the things he does, and if something goes a miss, he oft makes a big deal out of it, despite the relative significance of the blunder.

This applies to how he responds to other people as well as to himself.

I agree.

When he's doing something, he wants it to be perfect. Problem is he doesn't do enough before, to make it perfect, especially the live shows. He's too self-confident and lazy in the build up phrase, but he's having cold feet and h's a maximalist during the actual performance. Not a good combination.
