Title: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: Crashdiet on March 17, 2006, 02:44:15 AM I think its a fair question considering the wait we've had.
I mean I'm sure he knows he is good... obviously from his sucess. BUT if he actually knew how much he inspires so many people do you think he'd wait this long to release an album?? If he actually knew what TWAT, Better, The Blues, and madagascar already mean to us and there not even properly recorded yet... would he actually deprive us?? I honestly think axl has no clue how great he is. I think he has a little inkling because of his status and past achievements... but has a huge insecurity about his true genious. thanks for listening Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: destroier on March 17, 2006, 02:54:21 AM Axl is an egomaniac, of course he knows how great he is. No matter how great the songs are he still thinks he can make them better. That's how great he thinks he is.
Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: SWINGTRADER on March 17, 2006, 03:04:14 AM I get the feeling that Axl despises almost everybody on GNR message boards. ?I think he wants to eliminate his old fan base ?and create a new one. ?Which may explain why he has the wigga look going. ?He probably feels since we are mostly classic rock fans ?that maybe by him lookin hip hop it will make his old fans reject him. ? I really don't know what is going through his mind ?but this could be possible. ?But if he really wanted us gone he would just drop the gnr name. ? ?As far as(" Axl knowing how talented he is ??") goes ?I would say of course he does, ? you don't get a huge ego and become a prima donna ?if you don't think your the "greatest ?gift to man " ? :hihi: ? I don't know who has a bigger ego. ? ?Axl ?or Donald trump?? ?

And yes I do think he knows how talented he is, hence he knew he could let the old guys go and do it all without them. Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: jarmo on March 17, 2006, 03:51:20 AM I get the feeling that Axl despises almost everybody on GNR message boards. I wouldn't be so sure about that. ::) Maybe he thinks some fans' opinions are wrong and uninformed, but I doubt he despises "almost everybody".... /jarmo Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: godiva on March 17, 2006, 05:59:59 AM he is quite arrogant in the way he talks about to the press and how he expresses himself in interviews. But I think there is a reason this album is 13 years in the making. It's probably perfectionism created by insecurity. Guess the guy has a dynamic character. No one here personally knows the guy, so it's all mere speculation on our behalf.

Come on, we're the supporters of his music, what with this being a GNR Board and all. Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is??

Post by: jabba2 on March 17, 2006, 08:22:32 AM I'll expect to be mentioned sometime during the next tour. Jarmo was anyway. I read the Xoxi story about Axl naming her, she said she was very pro Axl at that time, but thought Axl might have been mad at her for posting his police photo from '98. She posted a image that listed his SS number. The horror...the horror..

You cant have two people on stage wearing the jersey. I wouldnt mind dressing in leather But Chris Pittman has that look already taken. 2 erotic bikers in one band wont mix.

Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: Lord Kayoss on March 17, 2006, 09:01:48 AM he is quite arrogant in the way he talks about to the press and how he expresses himself in interviews. I thought the Kurt Loder interview from the 2002 VMA's was very honest and respectful. I didn't sense any arrogance in Axl at all. In fact, he was very friendly and down to earth. Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: VRslash on March 17, 2006, 09:34:05 AM lol did you not hear his voice in 2002. like hows about was good. and as fare as inspireing people. i think the grunge pussy scean killed any singer inspired by axl. to bad rock n roll had to go in to a colma. til VR of course. i think axls old. his voice is dieing, and if hes not smart enough to realize the only way to gain succes is to reforme that band then i bet you he thinks hes some kind of god still. lol but as scott seid a king is no king with out his court.
Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: gilld1 on March 17, 2006, 09:45:02 AM His yes men tell him how good he is all of the time.
VRslash, it called proof reading. Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: 1badapple on March 17, 2006, 10:40:50 AM i think he knows just how talented he is, and that's part of the problem. he had fame at an early age, and not just fame, GnR was just fucking huge. i think alot of it went straight to his head. he also has this obsession to "bury" appetite from what i've seen in interviews and such. he needs to realize that's just not gonna happen, and put out the best cd he can put out in 2006.
Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: boston on March 17, 2006, 02:13:35 PM if anything AXL thinks he is more talented then he really is
Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: Backslash on March 17, 2006, 02:32:22 PM if anything AXL thinks he is more talented then he really is I was thinking the same thing Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: younggunner on March 17, 2006, 02:58:22 PM Axl is in a position in his life/career where he can do as he pleases...hes made his millions, has his fame...now he can dow ahtever he wants when he wants. In the short term we suffer because we want him to be there as much as possible...but in the long run we could benefit even more because hes taking hsi time with his music so no stone will be left unturned...
Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: Saul on March 17, 2006, 03:00:49 PM Axl's 40 odd years old and hanging out with lindsay lohan .. of course he knows how talented he is. Like OMG fer sure , ya know?!
Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: McDuff on March 17, 2006, 03:27:55 PM Ofcourse Axl knows how talented he is,I think Axl still can sing,sure he's older,but that doesn't mean shit anyway. :peace:

Post by: Jessica on March 17, 2006, 03:41:14 PM look, matter of opinion, good photo though, what's the photographer's name ?
the " subject" is no more than average with a good haircut and a good body, but with everyone's obsession nowadays, almost anyone can reach a good bod, with or without surgery. Im' really not impressed and this isn't about axl, it's just about what's " trendy' up until next month. Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: Irish rose on March 17, 2006, 03:50:10 PM I think Axl is a perfectionist and his songs have some great hooks and lyrics. But im not sure how much of this was influenced by his various band mates. Weilands words didnt just come from nowhere, maybe Slash etc talked to them about Axl and who came up with what.
I'm not gonna bash him though, he is definitley very talented but I think our view of Axl is extremely biased on here...which is natural I suppose given we're GNR fans! But judging from the demos, I dont think they matched a lot of peoples expectations, I know a lot of people are gonna say oh they're great what are ya talkin about...and if people do think they re great then good for them They didnt meet my expectations though and for this reason I question if Axl's ability is as good as what some people on this forum make it out to be. Title: Re: Does axl know how talented he is?? Post by: Origen on March 17, 2006, 03:52:46 PM Is she big in America cause I don't have a fucking clue who she is, and she ain't that hot.
