anyone rem when someone allegedly translated what the chinese voices were saying @ the start of CD?
something about "this is my truth"???

whatever the fuck.
thru all the bs, lawsuits, dtj or crappy songs on crappy albums i still do not know the sole truth as to why he hates slash so much. from where i'm sitting it's increasingly bizarre.
axl offers up these obfuscated rants where everyone else must be a phony liar by mere association w/slash, yet an explicit truth seems to stick in his throat.

BUT i don't think this yr & this rnrhof swindle is ANY different to anything we've heard from Axl since around '99.

the rampant hypocrisy of the whole thing is one of the most foul tasting aspects of the ordeal.
this theory of credibility & effort, esp when contrasted to the bizness savvy of slash etc., has been stretched threadbare by the touring regime & relations w/the record label in getting material released (& the shoddiness of it when it does, but we'll not get into specifics on these matters, we all know the dissatisfaction). it is absurd & sisyphean just reading the calamities & half-truths, it must be a hoot living it.

but, the fact that it's built on this ridiculous thing called rock n roll gives it an air of silliness, childishness & fun that kinda makes all the nonsense somewhat forgivable.
anyway what were we talking about??

Oh I agree, just I won't be surprised when they chug thru a bar band version off AFD songs. Just cause they can't play as good doesn't mean they won't play yknow & w/no axl they're as likely to be playin as anyone.

kid rock myles & green day guy'll sing unless kr isn't happening which case it'll prob be just miles

yea @ the end of the day, in spite of all the vitriol, it remains a sad fucking wasted situation.

surely he's spent (misspent) millions on getting counselling.

unless he tells us explicitly why he can't find it in himself to drop the Slash thing he's always gonna look like a mental midget, a big baby.

fwiw, i also thought it'd have been enough to at least celebrate their achievements together w/o having to play
like what duff says about just getting the guys in a room & congratulating each other on what they did. you could do it five minutes.
even that, being in his presence for that short amount of time, is too painful for a 50y.o. dude w/a handlebar banging lana del rey?!
there is either something seriously askew in axl's make-up or slash has done something truly unspeakably horrible. those are the only explanations left at this stage.

it is sad.
story of GnR quite frankly.
wasted potential.

is it a matter of losing credibility or a matter of losing customers?
