planning on unveiling my handlebar in public @ Acid Mothers Temple gig on thurs
wish i'd dhaved it in for meeting the duffer but i guess life is full of regrets...

i was fucking SHOCKED @ the amount of TEENYBOPPERS who went to Duff's book signing it freaked me out but Guns have been disovered by the generation (or 2) below me

this shit is timeless
therefore the story is timeless
& a LOT of CD lived up to that..

i overheard one exclaiming 'there's a picture of him & axl!!'
she was like 13 r so & i admit i thought it'd be nice to fuck her & her friends..

Peter.

i too was initially p shocked when axl said loaded were gonna open for guns
but upon reflection, and remembering how long he stayed in gnr post-93 it began to make more sense..

in duff's book he does highlight the bond & empathy between him & axl. he does say when they first started out axl's mood swings were affecting the band in a way drugs weren't (but would be) but he goes on to empathize & explain rather than judge axl as an asshole. he says he understood the chemical imbalance in axl as a result of his own panic attacks. there is definitely a stonger bond there than i had thought.

to quote the great man, "it's funny cause it's true"

i ASSume the management atm is any mix of fernando/beta & del
that thing w/trying to keep Duff out is just the sorta petty shit that embitters people & puts barriers up
they do seem to have their own agenda, that they're out of control in what they define as the best thing for axl/gnr. but he has been loyal to them for years so there must be something on axl's side for them. certainly they've made many more mistakes & played games that other managers woulda been sacked & dumped for a long fucking time ago, but they are still hanging on..
