Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Good to see people using the font functions up there.  : ok:

I have a feeling Slash will probably release a legal statement now, if it's taking this long.  Or, he'll take the high road and not respond at all.

If it were me and what aAxl said was totally false, i'd be on the closest radio station the next day telling the truth... Mabye Slash knows it really is the truth  ???

it's probably "up axl's ass" along with slash?  ???

 :hihi:

maybe we can get this thread merged with the one in the VR section...

Will he even respond to that?

I think he would just say pretty much what Duff said.

responce, lol

Where's education?

I ate it.

If he wants to release something he will.. If he doesnt then he wont.

I want a response, but I bet we care more then anyone of them... I'm sure they each have them on their cell phones and have spoken about this...

RESPONSE

I hope it's soon.  It's seems as though Duff and Scott are covering for him.

thankyou, thorazine was about to do that :hihi:

He'll reply, give him time :peace: legal responses are tricky things :hihi:

It's not a legal response and has nothing technically to do with the lawsuit.  ::)

What the fuck is this?

how come you dont use that logic with GNR?

with axl,  because it's different... I am talking about the inner vr circle that slash has to fix.. Big differene to me if slash responds to this then if axl is going to mention cd or who's in the band or give interviews about the european tours..  Slash will either say it happened or it didn't, not much else is goign to happen

well if Axl's statement was a legal counter suit press release, then Slash response to it will prolly be a legal statement as well :P

In a nut shell..  :hihi:

It is not a legal statement, it is just a press release. Slash has already filed his legal statements. His attorney's will respond to Axl's countersuit in court...not on a press release. The only thing Slash will respond to is Axl's comments, not legal statements, about their alleged meeting...which again is not a legal statement. : ok:

Response/reply it's  the same difference  :peace:

It should stay here, it's an Axl thing  ;D

i dont think he will respond...

I will issue a formal statement on behalf of Slash.

"Axl is a fat stupid baby who I hate!"

(opens a bottle of Jack Daniels and lights a Marlboro while the sound of a cash register chings in the background)

i think it's all going to go away and be forgotten. at least by joe public..   I believe he has already responded, and that is to the guys that he has been accused of insulting..

it's entitled "Axl Rose Responds To Lawsuit"

and it's signed by his Lawyer. what Axl's got so much money to throw around now that he hires lawyers to write letters that he wants released for the hell of it? gimme a break.... it's a legal document man

Then lets bring the other one over here then... haha

I didn't mean an official legal statement, sorry... I mean, a letter from his lawyer that will protect his character and not ruin his credibility, while at the same time not causing him to look bad in his legal suit. ?Slash is going to make sure he doesn't say something that will make him look like a jackass. ?He's smarter than Weiland in that sense.

Neemo drop it...you wouldn't know a legal document from the crack in your ass. It is a PRESS RELEASE! I don't give a fuck who wrote it. :rant:

bit fucking touchy today are we

why don;t you go for a little nap :crying:

baby

ROFL!!!

Actually, I 'm bored at work. Just waiting for another hour or so before the St Patty's day festivities start hear in Hotlanta...pints a flying in a few hours! :beer: :beer:

Slash probably has written something and then passed it by his band mates. His band mates may suggest afew changes. The finnal draft will then be passed via VR's record Co. they will then pass it over to a lawyer to make 101% sure before bing launched into the arena  :hihi:

Not responding could be construed as quiet admittance to what was said of him.  If he did not make those comments, he should say so, otherwise the only information about that particular meeting comes from Axl.  If, on the other hand, he did say those things... maybe I'd keep quiet too.  In my mind, staying silent seems to lend credence to Axl.

To tell the truth, I'm not sure who to believe over another or even whether it really makes a difference in the end, but that's just my two cents.

Green beer for everyone :beer:

Axl's gotta drop this fucking album already. everyone is getting edgy :hihi:

Maybe VR should do a 'Get in the Ring' styled song. Slash having his say towards Axl without actually using the word 'Axl', just suggestions, bandana man, things like that  ;D

Axl kinda zapped everyone's energy by not following up with album details after the leak frenzy. Now we are getting a little irritated again. :nervous:

Count on seeing Axl tonight in NYC, throwin back a pint in all his redheadedness glory!

well maybe Slash has nothing to say on this subject,he really doesn't have to say anything ya know  :peace:

i read some place, Slash to release a statement within days. those days have now passed... ..  .   

Slash can?t write !  :rofl:

'within days' is pretty ambigous language- i dont see how you can infer a timetable from it.

Slash and his people are probably weighing what benefit they'd recieve from putting something out there vs. the harm it could do.

if he admits visiting axl, then he validates part of axl's statement and gives more credibility to axl's argument in the context of the lawsuit and VR's situation in gneral. he also might risk opening up a wound in VR. saying nothing might imply axl was right, but it also equally leaves the possibility open that axl is lying.

for the record: i believe the two met- and i believe slash may have voiced complaints about his VR situation, though whether they were as explicit as axl's pr made them out to be i dont know.

agreed , axl said we would have a release date within months .. back in 2004?!  :nervous:

Here is what I suspect.
What AXL said about the Slash thing MAYBE the truth.
There is no response from Slash, Instead we see response from Weiland.
I think Weiland was really fuck up to hear what Slash said about him.
That?s why he got so angry with AXL for revealing the info to the world.

Or maybe it's all a cover up and Slash is now back in GN'R  :hihi: sorry I had to say it  :rofl:

Maybe there actually is a MATURE ADULT in this situation. Slash doesn't want to open a can of worms. Doesn't want to start a war of words again. Sounds pretty logical to me.

Damn that's hard on the eyes.

Don't be surprised if Slash doesn't respond. He might just stay out of it till the court date. I think he SHOULD say something, even if it's just to say "my lawyer told me not to say shit," but I wouldn't be shocked if he avoids the issue entirely.

Duff was the mature adult. His response was perfect.

Or maybe it's all a cover up and Slash is now back in GN'R? :hihi: sorry I had to say it? :rofl:

If Slash is back in GNR, then why did AXL still file a lawsuit against him?
I don't think so...

Can you imagine the look of the audience if GnR appeared on stage and Slash was standing there  :o

How many fans would shit themselves hearing slash(unseen stepping up to the mic) yelling "hey fuckers" such as he did yelled it in the past  :rofl:

can't be axl has never lied before >:(

Im reall y sorry but why would you make up such a story of your ex band mate (with all the massive significant history) coming round your house at 5.30am?! Although if it is true, he wouldnt be totally sober Im sure at 5.30am. Slash hastnt come out and said otherwise, which he should have straight away if it wasnt true to stop people creating storys. Funny how this is going on with the 'immenent' release of the two bands albums at roughly the same time, and the reports that VR are gonna break up. Although i also think Axl maybe using this whole story to create more interest towards his personal gains. Although If this is the case, he must be pretty confident that his album will be better (it will be im sure) and hes just messing with weiland because he knows he can win?! I dont know!  :-\

He is too busy writing music and releasing his 2nd album. maybe someone else should take the hint!

I really don't think a response from Slash is neccessary. I think Scott has said enough on the matter.

Slash seems kind of two-faced sometimes.

Slash's response is in Axl's ass!? ;) ;D

Slash is normally quite willing to get himself in the media up until now where hes remained very quiet. I really do think he met with axl not so long ago. I dont think its a case of him being two faced, just regret. As for Slash rejoining the band... no  :) As much as everyone wants to see it. No matter how good Axls new album is, it wont appeal to the masses with Slash out of the band. So maybe it is a cunning ploy by Axl to prise slash out  ;) As for Duff and Slash being mature adults, I dont think so. I think there backs are up against the wall and they know it.

Ya know another thing i was thinking about...  Axl has stayed away from Slash over all these years.
Then imagine Slash makes this visit... and offers to bury the hatchet...  expressing that he isn't happy with where he is now and who he's with now and perhaps expresses a realization that he would have been better off /happier remaining with Axl/GN'R.  Recall his recent comment: "When I left I was pretty pissed off for having to leave in the first place. After a while all the boo-haha that was stirred and all the negative press, sort of went in his direction, so I'm just waiting for the record to come out, so I'm glad where it's got to the point that that's happening." Sounds like regret to me.
So he visted Axl and made some gesture/attempt/motion to bury the hatchet....  but eventually, apparently did not go through with it.
Well the thing I was thinking was that this really had to be a mind fuck for Axl.
Once again after all the years of staying away from Slash to be sucked back into his apparent dysfunction...  I'd imagine it was more than enough to cause Axl to break his relative silence.  Its like shit man - he's moved on without Slash and need i remind you of how RS described Axl in the Januaey 2000 interview "Slash's name pops up repeatedly, invoked in a way that suggests a shellshock husband speaking of an ex-wife after a particularly horrific divorce. ''It was a divorce,'' Rose says with a sad stare."  Axl was hurt when Slash abandoned GN'R.  Even when it came to picking up tracks for the recent Live Era '87 - 93' retrospective, Rose and Slash - whom Rose describes as ''negatively seductive'' - communicated their song selections only through intermediaries. ''I never said that I was bitter,'' Rose explains, characteristically concerned with making fine distinctions. ''Hurt, yeah. Disappointed. I mean, with Slash, I remember crying about all kinds of things in my life, but I had never felt hot, burning tears...hot, burning tears of anger."
I imagine Axl saw the law$uit coming... but did not expect them to go to the extent they did claiming "malicious intent to defraud".  He was hurt and angered again I'm sure.  And then the additional claim which proclaimed Axl to have had an "apparent attack of ego and arrogance".  And then to be approached with an olive branch after all these years only to once AGAIN somehow be betrayed.   It sucks.  I don't know what the fuck is up with Slash.  He's got some 'splaining to do IMO.

Eva, reportedly Slash and duff have been attempted a reunion with GNR for quite long.


Aye. although I never thought of that till I read his comments on Izzy of 1993.

Scotts came across like a fake bad boy (a fraud), Duffs as noncommittal (spinless)
Then Slash should come as a double dealing, and make it perfect.

Very cool, I wish that all posts could be written like this, regardless of whose side people are taking...  : ok:

Nice coheesive argument, very fluent...A+!

I'm neither pro-Axl nor pro-Slash (as I'm sure you're not), but after what has happened in the last few weeks, I can't help but feel that, for the first time since Slash left the band, you're right in saying that it really is him with the explaining to do.

I'm not calling him out, saying he's an arsehole. I just think that, at the moment, it's becoming clear that both sides were to blame for what went on; right now it's pretty difficult to jump to either of their defence.

Yet I don't mean that in a bad way. It's all bit this face right now  :-\  rather than how it's been in the past, with this face towards Axl  :rant:  while Slash has been very much this  :smoking:

Hey. They're both arseholes in their own way. At least that means there's a possibility that they could eventually be on the same page again.

really? Could you tell me what stores these "moved on" albums have been released in?

To believe that his silence implies his guilt is wrong. From what we can see, this hasn't even phased the VR camp so I assume Slash has told his bandmates it was just Axl talking...again... ::)

I think the reasons Slash could be keeping silent are because:

a.) It's true.
b.) all of the above.  :P

i'm sure there could be other reasons but if it wasn't true i think slash would just outright deny it.

You're measuring the quality of? Axl's life by whether he's released an album?
I believe you are confusing Axl's quality of life with YOUR assessment of the value of his being to you personally.
ie: if axl isnt releasing music you have no other use/appreciation for his existing/living
Might there even be a tad of bittterness on your part towards Axl due to his not meeting YOUR needs?


You just wish that I'd agree with you!
hehehe
Really though - you are making way too many, far too general declarations.
My opinion of Axl is a positive one.?
YES I :love: Axl.?
How does tht invalidate anything I've saiid?
Funny thing is that what has abolutely no value is your attempt to invoke
 ye ol' "You always think you're right!" arguement.
LOL!

you're welcome to join me... just walk 'towards the light!' ;D

Eva, it was just a little sarcasm. Dont take it so seriously. I guess I should have put a smiley at the end of the sentence. : ok:
