Here Today... Gone To Hell!

ps: sorry if this is old news..

edit: i guess we know what robin finck things of the current status of CD..  :hihi:

Some of those quotes are taken so out of context or they're time-sensitive, it's not even funny.

Robin on Axl: "I doubt very much that record will come out any time soon."

That's what he said 4 years ago when he left to tour with NIN, they make it look like these are definitive statements...

the shmuck comment by Tracii was all in good fun. Tracii Guns worships Axl.  :hihi:

Haha. Buckethead on Axl: "..." They should've asked Herbie!

Like TiedHands? said, all of these quotes are ridiculously taken out of context. Especially the Brian May one. When Brian May said that he was in a live radio interview when he was complementing Axl on how meticulous he is and what kind of drive the man has. Also, as stated before, the Robin quote is 4 years old. This magazine just took any interview from these men and found any quote that would sound negative on its own without the context it was said on and turned it into a "Fuck Axl" parade. I'd be extremely happy if Axl verbally kicked the shit out of the magazine that did this.........this is probably the most biased article I've ever read on Axl Rose. They call this journalism? ::)

Robin on Axl: "I doubt very much that record will come out any time soon."

that's not even a comment on axl. stupid punks...

Zakk always says how much he loves axl but he said axl needs to be more confident in his work.

I can't believe Buckethead said that!!!!!!!!!!

So they include Izzy in the "hired list".? Fair enough but where is Slash then?? ::)

 :hihi: @  "..."
BTW That Mr. Buckethead left in 2003 is new to me.

This doesnt even deserve a reply....

journalism at its finest

WHat magazine is that from? I need to add it to my lengthy list of "I'm not reading that shit".

It's from a magazine called "Guitar Legends" w/Slash on the cover. Its a compilation of different Slash articles from Guitar Mags. I have it..its actually a decent comp. They have articles from right after AFD hit big all the way to the present with VR. I do agree that the sidebar w/people's comments on Axl is pretty biased, though. All in a day's work I suppose...

Many of those questes are from the 90s as well....

That was hideous....but thanks for thinking of us and posting....still cool for shits n' giggles...

yeah that was a horrible article, its easy to see why so many people hate Axl when they read things like that and dont know any better

I think the Zakk Wylde quote is pretty recent.  It was on this board not too long ago.  I think Zakk is much better friends with Slash and Duff. 

Yea its not that much that Zakk hates Axl or anything but he defenetly thinks GNR without Slash and the rest wont work, he said not so long ago like "dude get the original line-up back and kick ass"

I got that article, it's from Total Guitar. The issue is fairly old now.

I heard it was Zakk & Slash that didn't get on.
They both tried to kick each others ass with their playing and it didn't workout.

yup.. that's where i got it from.

and i think the quote that's taken most out of context is the brian may quote.. in the original interview he was practically shitting himself talkin about axl and the new songs..  :hihi:

 :rofl:
The man likes to talk hun?

 Zakk hated or liked his time with Axl?
  ???

Meh, it's just a sidebar.  Interesting to read.  I think that all you guys who are complaining that the article is unfairly biased against Axl have to take a long hard look at the facts.  If Axl is NOT hard to work with and does NOT need to do things his way in his own time, then why has it taken him 10 years to make an album and why has he gone through a million different players?

And I think you need to look at the quotes in their original context, and see how they were twisted to "show" something negative against Axl. Also Axl has been working on this album since 1998 not 1993 or 1994. Also I suppose you haven't read any interviews with the members of Guns N' Roses (at this point). They all say the reason it has taken 5-6 years to get the album(s) right is because Axl is trying to get all the possible input from all the members of the band. When you have people of such different musical backgrounds it is going to take a long time to make these people create a special type of bond and a coefficient creative effort. Even Brian May and John Freese have said this. Why don't you take a look at the facts.

They don?t work only with him. Those players are a million mile different to each other.
For instance
Apparently people of such different musical backgrounds are hard to work together in harmony and the work doesn?t proceed smoothly. Therefore usually people prefer stay with their own kinds. But GNR is an unusual band.
In GNR each player ought to transcend the differences to sublimate conflicts into art while keeping one?s individuality. Like Indy said, it takes time, sure.
I think Guns n? Roses aims at taking up varied elements from guns to roses and making something mind-blowing from them.

Like somebody said the Brian May quote is so out of context, it's surreal. The guy spent 10 minutes saying how great Axl was and they took the only phrase that was not positive. Gimme a freakin break... ::)

Thanks for posting, but it's really sad how lots of magazines describe Axl as a big asshole whom everybody hates. It's always Axl's fault if something does not work out, of course... ::)

Looks like a deperate attempt on an article regarding GNR.

Completely negative, out of context and vague. Did John Kerry write this article? (sorry, couldn`t resist that one)
