Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Here's a review... Don't start flipping people.. It was halloween

Here's one review.. I'd love to see some pics

Guys, that was fuckin' awesome. As you know, it was Halloween tonight so VR took the stage with SLASH dressed as BUCKETHEAD, Scott as Axl (hahaha), Duff as a sexy ballerina (hilarious), Dave as the devil, & Matt as a skeleton. It was awesome! The crowd went absolutely crazy.

I was in the very very front against the bar in front of SLASH. I also got into a nasty verbal fight with a bitchy prissy girl & so won. Seriously, I verbally bitch-slapped that jackass all over the arena. It could have gotten physical had I not been worried that the security would pull me out if it did.

Slash threw his cup & drink to a girl near me, resulting in the liquid spashing all over me (awesome) & it was some crazy WINE & VODKA mix. I smelled & sniffed at it for a while but was unable to determine the exact alcohol & shit in it.

IT WAS AWESOME.

It was posted on slashworld.com by straight wiskey..

got the pics?

I would of givin one of my kidneys to see that.  Priceless!

There are none yet,but they usually surface if I get them I will post it..

I was thinking something like that..

Axl and Buckethead supposedly according to a fan review of the Little Rock show last night. I can't verify this, but if true that is pretty funny. The fan who submitted the review said the place about died when they came out, nice to see the guys still have a sense of humor.

 just posted that in the gnr section being they did that.. I've seen several reviews all saying the same..

Yeah I would have loved to have seen that, oh well

Hilarious.

This is all squaring up to be a real life celebirty death match for 2005.

I just hope Axl makes the next move!

what? you mean for next halloween axl gets his hair cut to the point they're an inch long, spikey and pick up a heroin addiction to look like scott? and richard dressing up as izzy, robin dressing up as slash, tommy like duff, etc?  :confused:

All axl has to do is take those hair plugs out and he will be fine for the hair length ;D

Gunsguy took what I wrote and pasted it at mygnr.. No credit dude :'(

isee a long rant about that coming at some of the next concerts...

That idea has Scott written all over it. STP once dressed as KISS. Scott was Paul Stanley. I can just see Scott in a room. Guys I have this great idea why don't we dress up since it's halloween! Slash you go as Bucket and I will go as Axl hahahahahaha

I can't wait to see the pics. I'd imagine Slash makes a great Buckethead with the hair under the bucket and Scott with the right wig makes a great young, skinny and drugged Axl from the AFD days :rofl:

Slash is GREAT, but will never be able to play as good as BUCKETHEAD.

Thanks  ::)

Don't even...

Thats fine, you can have Bucket's technical ability and I will take Slash and his entire catalog of timeless guitar riffs.

That sounds pretty cool...I can't wait to see those guys next Wednesday... : ok:

wow, i hope someone got some pictures off

Hahahahaha, good one.....

Can't wait to see the pics! It'll be awesome if we can see a video, too!  :hihi:

Weird...I don't picture Slash with the mask and the bucket...did he smoke thru the mask? ;)

yes he did, one person mentioned it...

That's hilarious.  I wish I could have seen that.  As much as Axl still rocks, his attire from the 2002 tour was weak.  And although the rest of the band was okay (except for Robin maybe), Buckethead looked ridiculous and I'm glad he's gone.  Anyway, this isn't a Gn'r thread, but it's great to see VR have some creativity.

Whats creative about it? If it's true their just jerks

That's why they played only 2 or 3 songs in the Halloween dresses.  :hihi:

if pics surface it would be here

http://vr.belowempty.com/concerts/2004/041031_LittleRockAR.php

That's funny as hell, happy to hear the fellas aren't taking themselves too seriously...

What version of Axl did Scott dress up as? Axl AFD days, UYI days, Axl Vegas shows days, Axl 2002 days...

Dressed up as Buckethead is easy. Yellow coat, white mask and a bucket. Surely Slash didn't spend too much time figuring that out, but Scott, I wonder if Scott pulled out the infamous biker shorts, the Charlie don't surf shirt, the Raiders gear...

Anybody post those pics!!!

It's halloween and they were just dressing up, lighten up would ya!

I originally posted about this at the Snakepit Forums (Slashsworld.com).

Yes it is true. I was at the show last night. Slash was Buckethead (KFC bucket, a fake wig, & yellow jacket thing) & yes he smoked a cigarette through the little slits in the mask. Scott was Axl (it was hilarious - he wore black leather pants, the red bandana, a little black cropped shirt, a one of those fake wrestler championship belts), Duff was a pretty pink ballerina/fairy (complete with fishnet stockings & a crown), Matt was a skeleton thingy, & Dave was the devil.

The crowd thought it was awesome and absolutely erupted when they came out.

I didn't take pictures because I always prefer to enjoy the show rather than trying to hide my camera. Especially this time because I was in the very front against the barrier bar. But I saw lots of flashes so I am sure pictures will surface soon. I will scan our local paper tomorrow to see if there are pictures.

For those of you that are freaking out because they made fun of Axl & Buckethead... chill out, have a sense of humor. It was Halloween, they were having a good time, & everyone loved it.

& to Mike...
Maybe that's because what you posted was my post at the Snakepit boards? Not really any need to give you credit since you weren't the one that posted the information in the first place, I was.

SW, I said that because he copied mine, I added some stuff but it's not a big deal.. The minute I posted the info from below empty it went to the other thread.. Secondly I credited you, so it's not a big deal.. Whenever I copy someone even if it's second hand I try to say where I got it, and he got it from here..

Hey everyone!  Sorry I'm late to the posting party (been on the road and at work)...

I was at Alltel Sunday night, and it was amazing!  They played in my hometown of NORTH Little Rock, so I drove back (I now live in NW Arkansas 2 hours from Little Rock).  I can verify all that was said in the above posts.  Shinedown, Earshot, and Chevelle played sets before VR.  Right before VR's set, the house lights went out.  The band took the stage, and Slash played the opening notes to WTTJ.  The place went nuts.  He kept teasing WTTJ, the band came in, and then the lights came on, showing the Axl and Buckethead costumes.  It was almost the funniest damn thing I've ever seen at a concert.  They kept WTTJ going for a few more seconds, stopped, and tore into Sucker Train Blues.  They went from that to Do It For The Kids, followed by Headspace.  After that, they left the stage for a minute or two to change.  One of the roadies wore an oversized Easter Bunny costume the whole night, which seemed really out of place, but still funny (During the encore break, he was wrestled on stage by another roadie dressed as the Hulk, complete with green body paint).  The only STP and GNR covers were "It's So Easy" and "Sex Type Thing."  The encore was a cover that sounded like an early Motley Crue (I could be way off here) tune, and they closed with Slither.  One thing I noticed was Duff's backing vocals--they were prominent in the mix, and sounded very strong.  Anyhow, it was an awesome show all around...a photographer was at the foot of the stage shooting the entire night, so pictures should turn up soon enough--I will post them if I can find them.

Well if this is true, this is funny as hell.

Still no pictures of this ??
The best thing would be a fuckin' video of this !!   : ok:

Are there still no pics around? Seems like it's becoming a fake story after all. Somebody must have put a pic online by now.....

I don't know... Wasn't anybody there who could tell us not to believe this lie? Or everybody who attended the show have seen it, but there are no photos? It's possible that someone posted bullshit under different names to sites that ate this, but... I still hope that we'll see the pictures.  :-\

Its true...Duff was on 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia on Tuesday, and brought up the show, saying that he was in fact dressed as Courtney Love, while Scott and Slash were Axl and Buckethead.

He also directly commented on his quote about Axl not writing any of the music, and said that sometimes interviewers misquote or take a quote out of context.  He said hes tried to avoid dissing Axl, and he said theres no reason to do it now, especially since theyre doing so well with the new band.

He covered familiar ground - how the band started, Guns breakup, etc. - he also explained that "Used To Love Her" isnt about a dog like many think, but just a tounge-in-cheek country-style song about wanting to kill your girlfriend (or boyfriend, he said).

So theres no doubt this is true, I dont know why there havent been any pictures though.

Uuugh, it happened. Everyone that was at the show confirmed it. Gah.  ::)

Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart), a happily inebriated but gentle philosopher enjoys nothing more than sharing life's small pleasures with others. He happens to have an invisible friend named Harvey who is a giant white rabbit. Harvey is Dowd's constant companion. Because of the obvious problems Harvey creates for Dowd's sister and her daughter, his sister tries to have him committed. Veta Louise (Josephine Hall), Elwood's sister is mistaken as the one who needs to be committed, and in all the confusion, Elwood soon has the psychiatrist believing in Harvey. In the end, Veta realizes she doesn't want Elwood to be "normal" like other nasty human beings. His niece finds a suitor. He and Harvey continue their friendship.

Funny.....

Did he mention whose idea it was to do this?

I'd love to see those pics...  come on Arkansas! 

Right on SW!  We Arkansans generally aren't liars...except for that one guy who has his own Presidential library :hihi:

I really don't know why pictures haven't surfaced...there WAS an official photographer that was stationed between the stage and the security force; however, I don't know if he was with the band, the venue, local press, or the radio station (The Edge 100.3 in Little Rock)  that sponsored the concert.

Keep checking this link; they have a few backstage photos up right now--maybe the costume photos will be posted later:

http://www.1003theedge.com/jacor-common/globalphotos.html?eventID=25087&eventsection=&pagecontent=

Surely they will post some costime pictures soon. I can't believe pictures have shown up everywhere... I just can't!

I'm checking everday for pictures, but none have surfaced yet. I'm starting to think that we will never get to see them.

Only everyone who gave a review said it wast true, vr's big fans site belowempty said it's true...

More to come... this one is thanks to SlashBOG and the VelvetRevolverForum.com:

(http://www.velvetrevolverforum.com/images/img1.jpg)

LOL, that's fuckin great.

Finally  : ok:

Hopefully we'll get closer shots anytime soon. For a moment, I thought thgat was Axl Rose 15 years ago  :o

Whahahaha, that's so fuckin' funny. I bet Slash was tryin hard not to make any mistakes while laughing his ass of.... these guys are truly R&R....

 :hihi:

Hilarious! Can't wait for the other pictures!  :hihi:

That pic is funny!  :)

(http://www.velvetrevolverforum.com/images/img1.jpg)

Saw this posted at slashworld by cnny... Hopefully there will be more ;D

Well it's about time! Thanks for posting. Hopefully more pictures will surface (that show the rest of the band as well, and maybe a better picture of Slash)

See; Buckethead=Slash  ;D I always thought it was just a stunt to have 2 bands and twice as much the income. Smart Slash  : ok:

It is scary how much Scott really does look like Axl when he dresses like that. I also can't imagine how hard Slash must have been laughing inside going out there with an inverted KFC bucket on his head. I only wish I could have been there, the place had to be going crazy.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

this rocks!!! Hopefully more pics to come!

 :o

that really does look like Axl in the early days.

It gives me a chill, just the body language and how he's holding the mic stand.. :smoking:

Hahahaha I LOVE IT. I wanna see Duff as the little ballerina or whatever!  :hihi:

I read somewhere it was sup[posed to be courtny love :rofl:

It would be cool to see video of this  :hihi:

Maybe the Duff of 1994 would look like that pigwoman, but not the 2004 Duff...

I want more pics!  : ok:

Pathetic

''Yeah GNR is in the past we're moving on...by the way did i mention i used to be in GNR?''

Scott throws a fit when Contraband has a lable on saying it contains ex-gnr members and yet does this - not only a piss poor frontman but also a fuckin' hypocrite.

 :o  Thanks, Mike!

Scott did a great job of dressing as Axl and has the body for it!  It's amazing that he has the early Axl body NOW!  :beer:

I wish I was there!!

Well this is the only way new gnr will get onstage, besides it was halloween.. :hihi:

better than anything GNR is doing now.

This is the furthest thing from pathetic Izzy. Kicking GNR's ass at their own game! : ok:

I agree with Izzy, Scott makes a big fuckin' deal whenever someone mentions GN'R, and then this...Way to not draw attention to it dipshit. I mean, i guess it is kinda funny, but Izzy's right. If they don't want the GN'R association, they shouldn't have done that. Obviously that's not what brought the initial attention, but at the same time, it's hypocritical and i better not see Scott whining and crying the next time GN'R is mentioned.



own game? im confused...

Everybody who is complaining and think it's pathetic has no sense of humor

Exactly, like if they didn't do this would have changed how many gnr questions they are asked.. They have no problems witht ehir past, they just don't want someone screaming play gnr songs while they're doing their thing/..

It was halloween, the hold world isn't going to be affected by this.. The fans already know the band is vr.. It was funny, and I think it's cool how they just had a good time..

Vr rocks because they're out there toruing their asses of and playing killer shows..  WOW a halloween show where they dressed as some old mates.. :nervous:

I think Axl probably wishes he could look as close to the original Axl as Scott does in that picture. Someone must have forgot to tell him to wear the braids and jersey though, as that is the new Axl look. Axl would be totally bad ass if he came back looking like Scott does in that picture, but I guess that's just wishful thinking.

They aren't denying they were in GN'R.... hell they play 3 GN'R covers every night.

Great costumes.

Wonder what Axl thought of this?

If this doesnt get a response from Axl, nothing will....sheesh. Does anyone else think VRs trying to piss him off?

With the lawsuits still ongoing this fued has gotton a little ugly.?

Who cares? It was a silly Halloween dress-up.
Do you think Duff will get sh*t from Courtney Love or if Dave will get sh*t from the Devil from how they dressed???

LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!!!

Wouldn't it bee amazing if both bands started a public feud kind of similar to the one between GNR and? Nirvana 10 years ago?

I'm not talking about a few comments on " Axl didn't write the music...blah, blah, blah..." I'm talking about a band rivalry between the two biggest bands on the planet right now. That would be priceless.

Modern rock journalists would kill for something like this to happen.

I think some of you people here make things out way worse then it is, it was halloween, it wasn't like they were making fun of anyone.. They just dressed up like people tehy know. I don't see the big deal..
If scott did the dreads and was acting out of breath or something yelling round one then it would have been soemthing different..

I'm just glad vr is out there  playing/making music.. :peace:

Nice pic, Cant wait to see more

I was just curious, so LIGHTEN UP!  ::)  Man, you guys wonder what Axl eats for breakfast, but I can't wonder what he thought of Scott dressing like him. 

anyway - I think it's cool as hell and wish I was there!  : ok:

Woohoo, pictures surfaced. Too bad there isn't one of Duff, his was pretty funny

Awww, I wish I was back there again. Meeeemories.

& to all the whining losers, shut up. It's called humor.  ::)

I think it's pretty funny. 

i'm actually starting to get into VR and really enjoying their music. but this is pathetic.
tottaly uncalled for

Could someone please put the link up?

As i cant see the pic and i really want to see it

Thanks

Mikegiuliana - you seriously think this wasn't taking the piss out of Axl? Funny tho it is, you and a lot of people have gotta stop all this defending VR bullshit.

I like the music and the band, and if they wanna take the piss, and start some sort of feud then that's fine. Fuck, they can do whatever they like. All I ask is that they and the butkisser section of their fans come out and fucking admit that they will behave like that, and it's not a coincidence, and they haven't moved on from the whole GNR thing.

Just admit that they wanna bring everything they have and try and kick Axl's ass in any way they can - rest assured Axl will respond in kind.

@#$%Funker

First Eminem and now VR...

WOOOOOOOUUUWWWW The new GNR must be very popular!!! :hihi:

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE POST A LINK - THANK YOU PLEASE

I can't see it either!!

If someone save this pic on his/her computer, please, PLEASE, go to www.photobucket.com and upload this, than post the link here...I can't wait to see that!!

Right-click on the X or wherever the photo was, and copy and paste the web address.

What are you 6 ,or is that to old.. ? Like axl is so into this, it was halloween who gives a shit..? Maybe they could have did a rant about conan or said how warren beatty sucks.. I love how someone see this as no big deal and they're buttkissers but the otherside defends axl to the end ,meanwhile his ass resurfaces once every ten years and never comes through..

Maybe you never realised this but they get the gnr questions on every interview so why not have some fun..? Is someone jealous because scott can fit into axl's old clothes :hihi:

It was a one time thing, nothing huge, it wasn't broadcasted on mtv news or anything, nothing negative was said.. People get pissed over stupid things, get on axl's ass and his MIA band and album once in a while instead of bothering people that perform..

 :D That?s just funny.

Axl and Bucket are acknowledged Icons. Also there is something irresistible about their salient appearances.

It?s nothing puzzling for anyone or any NEW BAND to disguise themselves as GNR for Halloween.

Not working...

http://www.velvetrevolverforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8274

Man, does anyone else think that the Velvet Revolver forum looks like a Bizarro version of HTGTH?  :o

Do you mean color, because the entire style of the board is different..  The entire way you post is different.. I think the boards look nothing alike, but that's just because I use both..

Read the credits at the bottom of the page. ;)

The last credits on the page....? :hihi:

That placed was heavily influenced by this place when it was opened.
 
But I had nothing to do with the current colors..... Well, I made the little VR icons in a few minutes. But other than that, the colors/logos/etc. are other peoples' ideas.

Oh, and it used to be more similar back when they used YaBBSE. I had to concert it to PHPBB because of their web host.


Another thing I can add is that their rules are based on the rules for this board.



/jarmo

That is awesome and hillarious  :rofl:

Dude, shut the fuck up. It's so amusing that you refer to the VR fans as 'butkissers' when you probably have your head shoved pretty damn far up Axl's ass. It's so sad.  ::)

When I first saw this, I suspected there may be criticism on the boards...and sure enough, I was right,  some people fail to see the point. How is that taking a piss out of Axl? Besides the whole idea of it being a Halloween joke, Scott dressed up as  the classic Axl...it's not like he took a stab at his appearance...Honestly, I doubt Axl would even care about this, if not find it amusing...how can you honestly tell me you can be offended by this? You guys are GnR fans, not crying SClub 7 wimps, suck it up.

 :rofl: that its pretty cool , obiously is a joke , and a very good one in my opinion. 

It's safe to say that kind of fans exist on both "sides", no need to continue "discussing" it any further.




/jarmo

Why are VR so obsessed with Axl?? I dont think he gives a shit about them.  Between the shit with Duff saying Axl didnt write songs then taking it back... and then this?  They should move on and get over it.  They all know Scott doesnt compare to Axl and that's why they keep talkin shit.  I think we should all move on.  VR is a new band.  Maybe CD will come out.  Like Axl said... if it were never to happen... we would not have missed a thing. 

i think it was cool , no big deal

now had Scott dressed up and made fun of axl's supposed weight problem and his supposed hair problem that wouldve been wrong

but he looked like a kick ass version axl, scott shouldnt throw anymore megaphones at crowds though for sayin anything about GNR though after this.

u have to embrace your past and i think this was a way of VR showing they have moved on to the point where they can satire it.

Some people need to lighten up and get a sense of humor, this isn't a life or death situation.  Funny stuff

I definitely heard that, It was Halloween . ::)

I think it's a good bit of humour and a way for them to embrace what is totally inevitable given their history - they are also more than qualified to make comment about GN'R - past or present and are just poking a bit of fun at what is widely perceived to be a farcical situation

I think it was funny, nothing harmful.  People not up to date with GN'R thought buckethead was Slash, and the media saying Scott was trying to be Axl when VR got started, so it  was kind of fitting.  Great pic! Anyone know if they played the whole show dressed up?

Sorry dude, I meant no offence, it's just that some people on this board look way too deep into stuff that shouldn't be taken so seriously. Glad you can see the funny side to it.

Very cool sense of humor.

Better than Eminem's performance...

I think thats funny, but i bet axl probably wouldnt like it, but i bet he has other things on his mind than of slash and scot are poking fun at him, like hopefully planing the release of CD

I see what they are trying to do, they think maybe if scott dresses up like Axl he might come close to hitting the notes Axl does and have the stage presence/attitude Axl has and Slash thought that dressing up like buckethead might make him a faster better guitar player or maybe he thought he would be able to make Axl think he was buckethead and take him back.

GNR for fucking ever.

What makes me wonder here is that it took so long time before that photo came available on the net, and still we haven't seen other photos of that event, I mean, what the fuck?? It dosen't take over 2 weeks to get those fuckin' pictures available does it ?

I have to ask do you follow vr and their interviews outside of the typical posts made in the forums?
Well in the states there wasn't alot of interviews compared to europe in which they seemed to get interviewed everywhere they went.. Almost evry inmterview I read or watched they were asked about axl rose and if they still speak to him orwhat happened in gnr and all those good questions..

Now the idea is it's not like they just bring up axl out of the blue all the time, they are constantly asked questions about axl and the problems and if they listen to new gnr stuff and their feelings on these issues..

SO there is your answer to why do they mention axl, like they have nothing better to do then ask about some guy who hides forever..

As for the dressign up like axl n bh, who really cares ,do you think axl will lose sleep over this? I mean the whole world says he's fat, he's had plastic surgery his hair fell out, his lineup is  a joke, he can't sing anymore, the vmas sucked, two riots on tour, cancelled tour in a month, missing album forever.. etc etc Now that is what writers have said and little diggs from snl ,conan, and whoever else.. SO if axl doesn't respond to most of that stuff then what is the big deal about having a little fun for halloween, it wasn'tr done in a malicious way..

Just everyone lighten up and let something so simple slide.. There doesn't have to be more then meets the eye each time..

 :rofl: Good point!? ;D

I don't want to speak my mind about this, because right now I don't feel like arguing with people.

 I bet axl looks and scott and wishes he could still fit in his old afd clothes.. :hihi:
Oh and when buckethead has such memorable music then we can comp[are him to slash.. One is a legend the other one is a unknown freakshow..

ALso why would anyone want to go back to axl rose, they already have 7 band members and can't get one album out.. :rofl:

Very funny.  VR is kickin ass and takin names!!!  All the Axl loyalist must find this terribly annoying. 

I don't know why anyone gets upset, I see nothing wrong in what they did..

Nobody finds the following things kinda funny?

- It's ok for them to dress up as Axl and BH, but they don't want to talk about GN'R in interviews.

- It's ok for them to play GN'R songs and use the same introductions GN'R had on the Use Your Illusion tour 11-13 years ago, but they're still a band with their own identity making it on their own?

I like the band, but I think they send mixed messages by the things they do. They say they're a new band with its own identity and then the next second they do something that's associated with GN'R.

I don't care about how they dress for Halloween. I wonder who's idea it was and if they all picked their costumes themselves.... Duff as Courtney Love, wonder where that came from.

Odd that you would have this to say about an album featuring a "piss poor frontman" on 100% of its vocals..




Surely an absolute "piss poor frontman" would spoil an album beyond an "8/10" rating, right? ?Would that make you a "fuckin' hypocrite" too? ?Ive seen enough of your posts to know the answer to that.. : ok:

about  the guy who intoduces the band.. I thought it might be because the guys loved the earlier years of gnr the best and wanted thatt type of atmosphere, but I don't know the reasons..

As for the gnr songs ,I think they should do that either way, groups of that size and fame have a small obligation to give the fans a treat because they still love the old band's songs.. There's no escaping the gnr name, so why not give the fans a little treat that never got to hear to hear the old group live.. I know if I saw vr for the first time I would like to hear slash play a few tunes from the old days just for concerts.. They do the same for the stp fans..

I think they could do less gnr stuff, but I don't know what their reasons are..? Maybe they were pissed in the start because they kept getting gnr requests and being called ex gunners or a super group.. WHo knows..?

The main thing that's come out of this is the hypocrisy of Scott Weiland and his anti-GNR agenda.

You don't dare speak of GNR and its former lead singer at interviews but we're more than happy to make fun of them. I don't know what it is but Scott Weiland appears to be threatened by GNR's legacy, maybe its overshadowing his current band who's debut album is mediocre at best, nobody would be speaking of GNR if their album was good, instead they've gone platinum through hype alone centering mainly on the 3 ex gunners (which also has Scott pissed off).

Scott will tear this band apart and it won't be the drugs that do it either.

Well Axl could fit in too his afd clothes if he wanted all he would have to do is become a cocaine addict like Scott.

How do you know he isnt an addict? Its been rumored Axl was sent to the emergency room few times during the past decade for drug OD.

I think Scott was being very respectful to dress during the AFD era, and not wearing the braids and over-sized jersey.

Or putting the drumsticks down.. ..I'm only kidding, everyone of gnr memebrs were into drugs one time ro another in their life...

Either way I got a laugh out of the pictures, I don't think it was anmything bad, dressing like afd axl was more respect imo// The whole world doesn't care it's just us morons on the forums.. Just let it slide.. ;)

We wouldnt mind so much but then you get scott whining in his diary about how he doesnt want to be like old gnr etc. Well Scott if you stop playing gnr songs and stop dressing up like Axl like your being a badass by playing a joke on him maybe people wouldnt care. Instead you invite shit like that in...so fuki it...

And Ill bet when Axl comes out of the woodwork and decides to participate in this lil game VR are playing he would make Mr weiland and the boys look very foolish with his comments. Axls a lot more funnier and wittier then Scott.
A feud between Axl and Scott would not benefit Scott and that journal of his. Scott might think he is on top of the world now but hell find out soon enough.....Im sure youll read what im talking baout in those diaries in a few months....

Scott and Vr are realizing that no matter how successful they are right now they cant get out of Axl/gnrs shadow. And whats probably killing them Axl has done jack shit. Thats the funny thing. You have these guys who have an album out trying to re invent themselves and separate themselves from the past yet they cant get away from the Axl rose questions etc. The same Axl who has done nothing over the years. I cant wait to hear a nice long rant about Scott and the boys on the next tour. Its gonna be an mp3 classic.
SOme people come to party others are the party....


keep tryin vr

btw does the band have their own personal tailor on tour?

When fanboys attack! :nervous:

Scott is obviously a great frontman and VR couldn't have picked a better replacement.  I think its great they dressed up as new GN'R just as Eminem and D12 did at the Movie Awards earlier this year.  We all know when new GN'R does hit MTV and Kurt Loder will do a huge special on what GN'R has gone threw to get where they're going to be at, which is on TOP of the world.

When members want to sound as sophisticated and pompous as Falcon...{Bookers posts over the past year}? :nervous:

The whole thing is I won't give a rats ass if axl rants about scott, it's just words it's nothing to get all bent out of shape about..

Vr will always be in gnr's (old gnr) shadow because there are three ex members and izzy was apart of this, and axl isn't around giving interviews so there is no on else to put in the gnr light then the members of vr..

There are people that are just attention seeking trouble makers that went to see vr, or a festival and demand to hear gnr tunes, now that apsect is wrong.. I'm sure others commented on the slash fan or whatever that was causing a disturbance during rio 3 and was told to leave..

Vr will never get out of the gnr light, and new gnr will always have the people who wonder why they kept mit going and why they are still gnr without any original memebrs but axl..

Being these things will never happen somethimes you need to have a little fun with it and do something like halloween, but other times you will get annoyed and want to distance yourself.. Vr got mtons of axl question in europe's leg of the tour, maybe they just didn't want to speak about that everynight..

ok ill keep that in mind.

but they are not in gnr. They were in gnr. Its cool if they wanna talk about their past. No problemo but just dont whine, expect it instead.

in other words, they want thier cake and eat it too.

It should be expected, but maybe scott is just pissed at times, the guy just kicked a drug habbit and was going through a rough time in his life.. He may feel he wasn't in gnr so why does he get questions about them directed towards him.,.? yes they were in gnr and now they're not but when was the last time 4 gnr members were together jamming and giving interviews..? At times they have been 3/5s gnr plus matt, so they've been more gnr then gnr..

Hey Booker,

Notice i said FRONTMAN not vocalist? : ok: Notice how i said the songs live not the band live?

As a vocalist he fair's slightly better (as a lyricist even worse :P) Hence it doesn't spoil the album, though he is for me, the weakest part of it, but not enough to harm my enjoyment of it significantly, Scott ain't terrible (other than lyrically :peace:), as a vocalist, and my point was not directed at his vocal qualities but his role as the band's frontman.

As a FRONTMAN, All i see from Scott is clumsy rants at the media, a washed up addict persona and daft stunts like this. Anticiptaing ur response, Axl Rose was always guilty of similiar things, but i just think he pulled it off muchy better, its just an opinion but I was more convinced by Axl - Scott seem's forced and dated and very unoriginal, and of course hypocritical. Fair enough u may view Axl in the same light, but opinions are like arseholes, we all got one.

check out this post on metal sludge....it even has a picture of them.

If you want to see a great rock band, you have to see VR.  Axl is not on the scene anymore and there is no telling when he will be.  That is nobody's fault but his own.  Axl talks about Slash jamming with Snoop Dog or whoever the f@ck.  As of late, Slash has been jamming with VR, the best touring rock band out there.

Some of you are so blind or stupid, I don't know...? :confused: It was a fuckin' joke, right? Scott fuckin' dressed like Axl because fans were chanting Axl's name (or GN'R, I don't remember) on previous shows and it made Scott really pissed off, so he dressed like Axl 'The God' Rose for Halloween. Slash dressed as BH because it really suited the performance. He was the ex-GN'R lead guitarist. (On the other hand BH is a good guitarist, but looks like some 7-years old who messed up his clothing even on Halloween.) That's it.? :yes:

About the guy who introduces the band... Maybe they wanna recall the old memories, or they think that they are more Guns N' Roses than Rose's Guns. Fuckin' retarded bastards.? :-X

Yeah I mean VR is 3/5 GNR, where the new GNR is 1/5 or 1/6 depending on who you include.  I mean as far as the Use Your Illusions are concerned, VR is more "Guns N' Roses."  But band names are pretty irrelevant. 

Here they are, fucking finally, we have some more:

I think it looks pretty cool.




Baby Slash//

Thanks it's nice to see some other pics, I like dave the devil. I like how we can now see the original picture better of scott n slash.. Dave n slash look cool together.. Thanks for the pics :beer:

Thanks for sharing. He actually does look like AFD era Axl! Until he does his awful on stage moves. Remember Mr Bean trying to dance in one episode? Reminds me of Scott.

Thanks for posting that link, I really enjoy reading people's statements who aren't from gnr/vr boards..

Thanks for the pics!!
Duff's costume cracked me up

I can't really see duff's costume good, it looks like he has a teeara(sp) on his head

Cool, looks like my topic ihas been moved to this one, cool.
(I hope Jarmo posts them on the main site and above his puts thanks to Slashly









Baby Slash//

I could take the bait, but I'm obviously too sophisticated and pompous to fall for such a ploy. :yes:

You sound like such a baby ,r u axl's mommy??WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.. Vr will pay for it :crying:

Many thanks go out to Dave for these shots!

HAHAHAHA!!
Look at Duff, and and look at Axl, er sorry Scott...









Baby Slash//

I think this may be the first time Slash doesn't actually look cool in a picture ;D

Killer pics ,duff is funny, n scott... WHo's the one girl behind duff :hihi:

and the nomination for the most idiotic post of all time......

Is Matt supposed to be a skeleton or Freddy Krueger? ;)



/jarmo

I was gonna ask the same.

It seems to me he got himself bought a skeleton's mask 5 minutes before the show started cause he hadn't thought of a costume. Look at the other guys, not the best halloween costumes I've seen but at least there's some effort on their part, Matt on the other hand...

You sound like such a baby ,r u axl's mommy??WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.. Vr will pay for it :crying:

NO, just a big Guns N' Roses fan, VR are baggin' my favourite band, wouldnt you defend somethin' you like?

just sharin' my thought's, dont be a wanker n' reply to all my posts like Mattgnr here lookin' for a rise, the dress up did piss me off, whats your fuckin' prob!!!

It was Halloween wasnt it, what was so Halloween about dressin' up as Axl n' Buckethead hey!!!

Hahahahahaha.? ;D Wow, I suggest you just quit now.? ::)

I didn't see this link yet, so ...

Looks like Metal Sludge got a hold of some pictures:

You're a big guns n roses fan but you're mad at a group who has 3 members of gnr ,and two are original members.. If axl dressed like scott or something and vice versa with slash as bucket I would have laughed.. What's so halloween, the idea is they are dressed as someone they are not and that's what halloween is..

I don't care if you didn't like it, it's just the way you lashed out like it was such an injustice unforgivable action..

Guns  n Roese is and was my favoirite band, but I've only seen a few new gnr shows and heard those fw boots so they are not my favorite band.. They haven't even done enough to be anyone's favorite band.. New gnr is my favorite band because of axl, this lineup has rotated in the past and might again so until it lasts a long time with album/s and tours and videos I am not holding my breath..

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.. Says you!!! So a baby can have a baby?Unbelievable, as Chris Misfit said on winter holidays in the Jungle.? :hihi:
Hooray!!!!? :love:? LOVEly legs!? :rofl: :puke:? ?:rofl: :puke:  GNR dressings like VR would be hell boring coz VR aren?t of those outstanding appearances, well apart from Slash. :hihi:

To the world I agree, but vr was n't being viewed by the world as the same with gnr doing it, it would be more of an inside thing to gnr/vr fans..  Doing it at some gig is alot different ehn some music awards or video, one is viewed by the direct fans, the other is worldwide..

The mother load, it was posted by straight whiskey over at slashworld..

damnit mike u beat me to it!

No problem, you turned the page.. : ok:

i don't think Slash knows what buckethead looks like. That ghetto jason mask is incredibily lame.

want a kubuki mask? 3 bucks at Spencers. It' ain't hard to find.

Poor old Slash, he's totally out-of-date! He doesn't even know how BH's mask look like!

That mask makes it easier for him to smoke..  :peace: ;D

Yes,  but  I haven?t ever seen it at Marks & Spencer.....

Spencers is pretty common in usa malls.. At least by me..

I guess I'm out of date too, because I thought he had the right BH mask. Duff's costume was great. What a great sense of humor. They all look awesome.

You're a big guns n roses fan but you're mad at a group who has 3 members of gnr ,and two are original members.. If axl dressed like scott or something and vice versa with slash as bucket I would have laughed.. What's so halloween, the idea is they are dressed as someone they are not and that's what halloween is..


No, im mad at 3 EX' members who always seem to have something to say about Axl, something negative n' blame him for the break up bla bla bla, Slash now saying he considerd suicide 'cause of Axl, n' Scott gettin' upset with GNR fans at concerts, n' now a dress up ::)

mikeguiliana, judging by your threads n' posts you seem like a hard core fan, so you n' i arnt gonna give up on our favourite bands, Guns n' Roses is no longer your favourite band, you admitted it by saying only because of Axl, i thought what VR did was fucked n' i dont give a fuck what you think either, just dont go callin' me a cry baby, if you think i lashed out then so what, was it towards you?

http://www.illitpress.com/video/files/MOV03470.zip

"You're In The Jungle, Baby!! Happy Halloween!!!!" :rofl:

clintron of course new gnr is keeping my interest mostly because of axl, only makes sence I never got to know any other members..

It doesn't matter either way though, as you say they knock axl, axl has said some negative things of the ex guys as well.

I just think it's silly when a fan says someone is going to pay or gets so personal..
ANyone who isn't into new gnr mostly for axl isn't telling the truth.. I'm sorry they can't be my favorite group yet based on a few bootlegs..

A song "Chinese Democracy" made me mad keen on this band. Musically I hear the whole band.
And I see pre1994 GNR mostly for Axl. Visually New GNR has more to show.
That?s the plain truth.

yeah, i know what you mean, but like i said, i cant help it, knowbody can help the way i feel, it's just human nature for me to think so n' it did piss me off n' i think it's wrong of em' to do it.

The only thing Axl has said recently was at GNR shows to the fans, every bloody article on Blabbermouth.net ?and els where from VR members is always about Axl n' GNR, they've just gotta get over it.

Plus the bootlegs i've scored from the 02' tour is enough for me to know that this is my favourite band, these guys go off big time n' the news songs are enough to know that the new one will rule!!!

but we all have our opinions... : ok:

AFUCKIN'MEN

That's all good to both of you, just realise they don't just talk about axl for the sake of mentioning his name, each interviewer asks them questions about him personally, so everyone shouldn't act like they always go out of their way to just say negative things about axl..

Also if axl was around he would be getting these questions too, and he would have his own things to say.. It's easy to get on vr for saying things, but remember they are in the spotlight now and everyonew ants to know about axl and old gnr,,..

I like the new gnr as a band, I just wan tgnr for the purpose of axl,, lineup could switch 5 times and you'd still buy axl's album.. Once they do things together and release things as one unit then my feeling will change,,

Right now it's to touchy feely, just like bucket was becoming a fan foavorite he left, eevrything is fragile it takes time to repsepct everyonme and know they are fixtures in the gnr camp.. I know others have been there quite a while but it's easy to be apart of something when you don't have to go..

i understand about the media askin' about the past, but new things like suicide especially gets to me, why are we hearing this now??

 :confused:

Plain truth, yeah.


Why did Axl only tell in 2002 that Izzy coudln't play guitar so they made his amps dumb?

Maybe because they hadn't want to talk about that before but during an interview they decided to tell it?
