#3131 Re: Guns N' Roses » Former GN'R Manager Alan Niven Counters Axl's Claims » 899 weeks ago
For me, a lot of it has to do with GNR fans. I hate it when someone plays with Axl and just because he plays with Axl is automatically crowned The greatest this or greatest that.
Just like with the drummers. U hear people all the time how Brain is so much greater than Steven or Matt and I quite frankly just don't hear it. What does he do so superiorly? he didn't even write most of the fucking drums parts but yet he is superior? that just makes no sense.
Same with my guitar argument. Just because u play faster doesnt mean u are better. Slash and izzy's guitar writing is WAYYYYYY better than the new guys in my opinion even if they can't play as fast or technical. that is why I say they are better because for me it is what u can create and write and not how fast or technical u can play. Fastest man isn't the greatest football player.
Axk gets most of the flack for continuing with the name Guns N Roses. It is seen as an Ego maniac thing *we know it isn't* but people get turned off thinking Axl feels he is GNR and the other guys were cardboard stand in props that had no bearing on the success.
I believe people have to earn their status and shouldn't be deemed icons or legends or great just because they join an iconic legendary band they had nothing to do with making that way.
that is what turned me negative. All the people who said "Robin or Bumble or whoever is better than Slash*
I just thought it was ridiculous and disrespectful to the old lineup.

I'm not calling him a douche because of his version of the events of GNR. I am calling him that due to all the credit he tried to take and like Axlin08 said about how he was a 6th member and all this and that.
U almost would've thought the fucking guy wrote Welcome To The Jungle.
The biggest thing I find odd about Axl is, how back in the day he hated Niven managing another band, he hated Slash and CO playing with other artists but yet today, he couldn't play a gig tomorrow if he wanted to cause HIS band is out with every fucking body else.
Axl is a very fucking smart guy. He knew the ship was sinking and he did what he thought was best to save it. I can't begrudge him for that. Being sober and working with junkies is ridiculously impossible.
I liked Niven's line:
Slash never tried to run the band, he couldn't even run a bath! LOL!

Yeah, I don't think it will ever happen and I don't see Adler ever getting clean but When I hear him drum with Adler's Appetite, DAMN he just has that swing and that rhythm that just makes those songs better IMO than when I listen to new gnr boot drumming
gotta be the Cowbell!
#3134 Re: Guns N' Roses » Wich one of this songs you like to see in the Next GN'R Album ? » 899 weeks ago
I voted for Seven
because about 5 years ago my girlfriend and I wrote a song called Seven Days, a rock song about the Seven Deadly Sins
I am curious to see what Axl's "Seven" is about cause I don't want people thinking I ripped his idea off.

Read the article
niven is a douche.
I'm sure some of the stuff he says may have some truth to it, but the guy came off like he was "THE REASON" gnr were huge. Dude took way too much credit that just seemed ridiculous.
#3136 Re: Guns N' Roses » Disecting Chinese Democracy: Track 1 - Chinese Democracy » 899 weeks ago
This song absolutely has nothing to do with Democracy in China just like the song Turning Japanese has nothing to do with having a race change.
Chinese Democracy is a metaphor and I think Neemo hit it right on the head.
The song is about Axl and the old band and all the perceived fallacies or truths.
#3137 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Duff: I love Axl Rose » 899 weeks ago
Ill take a clean healthy Adler over any GNR drummer. He has the style for GNR.

Am I the only person in the world who has ever seen this?
It is an amazing 80's horror movie.
I havent seen it since I was a kid but it was about this HUGE creature type thing, almost a big foot like thing and it would just fucking ravish people with his sharp teeth

Friday The 13th Jason Takes Manhatten sucks. Not as bad as Jason In Space though. WTF were they thinking!
