I don't think it's direct though.
I'd guess it's more like some days he's walking around the hotel ranting about slash and threatening to cancel the tour.....going on about how all people want is slash and we're all lied to by the media....
and someone in the background goes "jesus...imagine if the whole front row happens to be in slash shirts....Axl will storm off" and does their thing.
I don't think it's that he goes "Hey...I'll fuck with fans dress sense" directly...it's more like EVERYTHING that happens in GNR happens because management is always AFRAID axl will have one of his rage incidents. So they do anything they can think of to shut it down no matter how bizarre.
That is plausible, no doubt.
But it's also possible it has come straight from the [dead] horses mouth...
We'll prob nvr know for sure. Well I won't cause even if they answer I don't think I believe anything they say...

Bono wrote:Basically you did. Or at least said it in regards to subject matter that doesn't promote Rainbows and sunshine.
No, that's just your obsession with Axl.
We already knew this through Russ a while back.
It has a lot to do with beta and fernando.
Axl hates Slash.
16 years.
Not moving forward.
The setlist.
The 5,000,000,000,000,000 reason why Axl is an asshole.
Yeah, like I said have fun with it.
Give us something else to talk about then.
Make a tread. I'm not being sarcastic. If there's something else to talk about show me. I am looking for something new/different/positive.
But we just go round in circles. Circles of doom!

I wouldn't have believed except for Russ...
Now I do believe it, I think it could well come from Axl. incase it slipped by any of you, he really has an irrational hatred toward Slash & this craziness fits w/other crazy things he's said & done about Slash..

RE: MC -
Mate, it IS sad.
there is NO legitimate reason for this band, for GnR, to exist anymore.
it's perhaps been that way for some time.
what's being served now only tarnishes what was once sacred.
there ARE positives, but then every cloud has a silver lining.
each day this bizarre Chinese nostalgia golden oldies charade continues we get further from the ethos that made this thing of ours special.
the 'spirit' for want of a Better term, is probably DEAD.
me? I'm just here hangin' on in my only place to stay... @ least for now...
but I am drifting slowly away...

Time is shit. Live long enough, and you WILL get kicked in the nuts by it.
aye, unfortunately i don't have to look to uncle axl to know this.
my once beautiful, aryan, blonde hair has long since been over taken by grey 
I think I agree with that if you're talking about finished product. I hear things like the end of RQ and him nailing crazy notes with power and accuracy. It's amazing. SCOM while overplayed is beautifully sung. His singing on all the albums before CD is pretty close to flawless in style and in execution.
If we're talking live, he's not even close. Granted a lot of that is how difficult a lot of his vocals are to sing, but still...it is what it is.
yea definitely.
GnR have always been inconsistent live & axl is part of that.
however some of his live performances, especially in the early days, are astonishing.
i think part of it may be we're not as exposed to the flaws of the greats that went before, they didn't have the exposure of today. & that has helped damaged axl's reputation(!) somewhat (as a vocalist).
but AFD alone, imo, cements his place as one of if not the greatest rnr singer ever. he just "got it", so perfectly. it was like everything that went before, then magnified & perfected.
i think the end of RQ may be my fave GnR moment, but it's the tenderness of that & SCOM matched w/the mania of OTGM or the hellish party of Nightrain/ISE that allows him to cover all bases w/a brutal power that's just pure rnr perfection.

Bullshit.
#2287 Re: Guns N' Roses » London, May 31 (14 Years and Dead Flowers w/ Izzy!) » 753 weeks ago
With all due respect to everyone who thinks Izzy's decision to not attend the HOF was predicated on Axl's attendance, you have to remember that Matt Sorum said Slash had spoken to Izzy and Izzy confirmed he wouldn't attend prior to Axl sending out his statement. So, I believe that theory is flawed.
As for "14 Years", I thought it sounded great. I understand that people prefer the raspier tone, but I do not. Maybe it's because when I sing I realize that tone tends to come from more unhealthy vocal habits such as singing from a (closed) throat. But, I prefer the sound of cleaner tone as much as I think it's better for the voice.
Ali
& i thought i was contrary....
it might be healthier, but it doesn't sound as rock n roll.
imo axl had the greatest vocals in rnr history, he was the embodiment of it.
this squeaky axl of the 21st century doesn't have anywhere near the same potency.
i find it's a bit shit in actuality.

MWM91, your ass is safe & secure.
(erm... that sounded very very wrong... my point is there'll be no surprise releases!)
If GNR released some music with DJ or something then they can then do all the 1991 flashbacks they want...but until they do...it's just like they're pretending they were the guys all along...which if you listen to canter seems to be what Axl wants us all to think....
don't really remember what canter said regarding this. care to elaborate?
