Wouldnt mind hearing what him Slash and Duff could come up with. He has some good lyrics.
#2582 Re: Guns N' Roses » Revisiting the Billboard Interview » 910 weeks ago
Precisely Olorin, which creates an even scarier thought. If in Axl's mind, he views the situation with Universal as "cutthroat loan sharks", and "no help", and "no support", when he was given probably the biggest budget and biggest ROPE of ANY artist in history for CD... and Axl still looks at it that way.
There's nothing you can give him to please his "pace". Nothing. That's even scarier to me, because despite all the bullshit, he's not going to find better support than what he's got right now, which is none at best.
Looking back, I think it's kind of funny in Slash's book, how even when they were still young kids practically, working off and on jobs around LA trying to make a living, enough to eat and do shows and stuff, how even then Axl didn't really want to work. He always find someone to crash with, or some girlfriend to float him along. And he's still doing it now.
It's sad, the man has all this talent, and really doesn't give a shit. Someone made the analogy awhile back (it might've been Buzz), about how Axl is the type of guy who'd sleep through his classes in high school, getting F's, but then would come in and make straight A's on the tests, to even out to a C overall, pisses the teachers off to no end. That sums it up perfectly, even still.
I just think he has an unfortunate habit of over complicating things sometimes. I wish someone would learn him that some things are not worth dwelling on and its best to just put it behind you.

It be nice to think they have one ally in Azoff with a bit of clout for dealings with Universal, but I dont think he is miracle worker, the messed up booklet was put out onto shop shelves under his watch.
I'm still fairly positive about some performances this year, Tommy did say when things start moving they tend to roll like a square wheel at first. He wasnt half right.

I'm going with Aliens, I think Alien is better though.
#2585 Re: Guns N' Roses » Revisiting the Billboard Interview » 910 weeks ago
They have a website. If they are so against the media why not use their website to post up interviews with the band, if fans want to know about guns n roses, the gunsnroses.com wasteland should be the first port of call.

Universal told the world in 2004 or 2005 Axl had fucked them for far too long and it was up to him to start putting the money into his "art". I guess he had burned all his bridges by then.
Axl messed them around for a decade and now he cries about them being "cuthroat loan sharks" and having no support, it doesnt add up to me. All these songs are from 99-2002, yet Universal is forced to throw out Greatest Hits a few years later as he still hasnt turned it CD in.
All this no support talk is a gross exageration, how much free time did Robin, Richard, Brain, Tommy, Dizzy and Buckethead have to kill over those years?? There were all hanging around waiting on one man.
To me it looks more like the vast majority of stumbling blocks on the road to the release were all created and built up in the mind of Axl.
#2587 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread » 910 weeks ago
He sounded great on the new material back then and UYI stuff, but the clean, high voice really didnt suit the Appetite songs. Much prefered his delivery of The Blues and Madagascar then, made me love those songs. November Rain, LALD sounded great as well.
Robin was fucking up left right and centre back then, I dont remember him hitting bum notes at RIR3 or the Vegas show but 2002 he was horrible. He was much improved in 2006, but still sloppy at times.
The 2002 was pretty fucking great in my book, Axl, Buckethead, Tommy and Brain all had the talent needed to win me over and replace the legendary Guns N'Roses I grew up with.

#2589 Re: Guns N' Roses » Revisiting the Billboard Interview » 910 weeks ago
Duff said similar things about Axls entourage and so have many other people.
Anyway...the merry-go-round continues, back talking about Slash Duff and the 90'zzzzzz
#2590 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » I just met Steven Adler » 910 weeks ago
Great stuff thanks! I have a lot of time for Steven, he seems a decent humble guy.
It pisses me off reading posts trashing him as an insignificant piece of GN'Rs legacy, he is anything but that imo.
It must have been hard for him as a junkie to get clean during the UYI period, trying to cope with the depression and withdrawl that comes with it, whilst seeing your old band and so called friends ruling the music world. I'll bet he relasped everytime he picked up a music magazine or turned on MTV.
