Re: Questions for Axl if he visits GN'R Evolution
You can get an honest answer to an honest question without stating your bias as part of the question. I don't think starting him out by saying "Given your obvious hatred towards Slash" is going to relax his guard to give you an honest answer.

Re: Questions for Axl if he visits GN'R Evolution
Those aren't really honest questions though. They're slanted big time.
You think? I think theyre valid anough after the essay written by Axl yesterday. If the mods have a problem, thats fine, I'll edit it happily.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the question per se, I just don't think you're going to get the result you're looking for. The questions may be valid, the way they are being asked isn't doing you any favors. Take that from someone that is as interested as you are in getting them answered.

I just changed it up a bit - probably a bit confrontational maybe. Cheers
If the mods could edit my post thats been quoted I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Re: Questions for Axl if he visits GN'R Evolution
wow...let that go I want to see his answer!!! Loco, I assume Axl and Izzy still being friends doesn't count?
:haha:
Lol. It was that question or 'Do you prefer cats or dogs?'. I'd love to see his answers 
But I dont want him to stay away if he thinks certain questions are confrontational! After all the only person allowed to call me 'a little c**t' is my girlfriend.
Izzy is just an all round good guy I think. A lot of people have fallen out with old friends - doesnt mean bridges cant be built later in life. Hint hint!
Re: Questions for Axl if he visits GN'R Evolution
Axl called him a little cunt because he was intentionally being confrontational, just like your original post.
You're a Slashite. Plain and simple Loco. Not saying that as a dig, but Axl himself said it. If you like them and their music, more power to you.
But in his mind, it sometimes interferes with the truth.
I'm not singleling you out, but i've watched some people across the 'net, since Axl spoke, that almost feel like they have to defend Slash. To immediately take a stance.
Throughout Axl's statements, I haven't once come across a Slash bash. Just his side of the story. And obviously they are going to disagree, or otherwise the band would've never broke up.

I agree with this. I haven't gone out defending Slash against anything Axl says and I'm one of the biggest Slash supporters out there. I don't think Axl said anything wrong or offensive. He said how he feels. There's no Slash bashing in any of the posts any more than there's Axl bashing in Slash's book.
They obviously still have some respect for each other from a musical standpoint and love and appreciation for the music they were able to create together. Beyond that, there are a lot of negative feelings on both sides about things that may or may not have happened that are keeping the sides apart. That's ok. If Axl doesn't ever want to work with Slash because of what happened or what he perceives happened, who am I to tell him otherwise? Any negative comments that I read about Slash were directed at things more than they were at Slash himself. The people around him that tried to manipulate him, the lawyers, etc. He takes very few direct jabs at Slash other than how he markets himself, which is really none of Axl's business.
Axl seems to believe that Slash uses Axl to promote himself. I don't know that I agree, but that's what he believes. If Axl were fielding questions from the media the way Slash does, he may feel differently since he'd be asked about Slash all the time. It goes with the territory. McCartney probably still fields questions about John. But Axl sees it as using him or the GnR legacy (which Slash helped create) to promote himself. One could argue Axl is doing the same thing, but whatever.
