Here Today... Gone To Hell!

In the latest post on his blog, Matt Sorum mentions meeting Axl in New York City:

Thursday, April 13, 2006

---

Then last night I went to a club called 6 and 8s.
While getting out of the cab I run into Sean Lennon who was leaving and when inside there was AXL ROSE. Oh my God.
I hadn't seen him in at least 6 years.
I walked over and said Hello.
We shoke hands.
And it was pleasant.
Later that evening I ended up in a loft somewhere in the East Village.
Where Axl was again.
We spoke for quite sometime. And it was nice to clear somethings up.
I told him how great of a frontman he was while I was in the band and no hard feelings from me at all.
It was an all around
Good vibe I think.

After the party ended. Axl gave me a
Ride back to my hotel
In his suburban.

Ok...now I'm starting to think there might be some truth to the reunion rumors.  Just the way that blog entry from Matt was written, it seems like a cover-up...or some sort of a pre-emptive strike.


I can't put my finger on it exactly...but who knows.

awesome. good to know axl and matt got along :P

Here we go again with more re-union talk.. it's not happening.

Also, was their ever any documented fued between Axl and Matt? I don't recall any.

Cool hope they had a good chat and cleared everything up. Your up very late or very  early Jarmo cant you sleep either

I wonder if Axl had CD playing in his SUV on that ride to the hotel.....

This is mind blowing!!!? I wonder if they talked about Slash.? What are the odds of just happening to run into Axl twice in one night!!!!!

he was probably listening to 50 Cent

On VH1's "Behind the Music," Matt's interviews seemed to portray Axl as an unreasonable tyrant (not a quote, just pulling form memory), and I remember Matt saying that he encouraged the others to take a stand and confront Axl. ?I don't know that there was any fued per se, but it definintely seemed like bad blood to a certain extent...

wow i would have loved to heard that conversation.

there was a section on gnr a few years back on one of the tv stations over here - they were counting down expensive videos or something - and matt was interviewed. it was a few months after live era has been release and he was pretty angry about the whole thing. he had a rant about being listed as an additional musician "despite playing on the illusions and the tour" and was just talking shite about axl being a tosser and it not being guns n roses.

im sure ive read articles in more recent times where he has badmouthed him (actually, he claimed the additional musician label was axls revenge on him for talking shit previously - that axl wouldnt come out in public and confront him).


on a side note: he isnt a gunner. steven played on civil war. fuck off matt sorum.

Wonder did they touch base concerning Axl's recent press release and Weiland's response? Matt never responded publically to Slash allegedly "hating him". To me it sounds like they merely talked about the times when Matt was in the band, and all the things that happened during that period.

A reminice of better times i suppose. Matt needs to talk more about this soon.

FUCK yeah Motherfuckers!!!  I dunno, I was just happy to read that they got along.

On a side note, they had a fight in a parking lot just prior to Matt getting fired.

At least Matt sends us updates via his site. ?Now maybe he could update us on the status of VR and not just Axl Rose. ?Is Weiland jealous now? ?Just kidding.

Funny, I thought VR entered the recording studio this week? ?Does anyone wonder, if the meeting was "just a chance" encounter?

sounds cool. Axls still in NYC? What was matt doing there? where are VR recording?

Yes I wonder that.  No way was it just chance.  In a city with 11 million, twice in one night?  I think not.

Seriously!  They were supposed to start recording last Monday!  Maybe the break-up rumors ARE true.

Axl called him the worst of the group in 2002.... Somthing like "life is better with out such an albatross in it" or somthing....


It wasnt nice....   

I guess when people get older they mellow out some

whatever happens, it sure makes you think... and with tommy being mum about gnr... full scale reunion????

full scale?

matt sorum is not a gunner.

yeah no shit.. didnt they say at the latest Hookers and Blow gig that Dizzy was in CA rehearsing with Axl??

Axl has been in NYC fo awhile ,...

The GNR finger-pointing and banter has been pretty mild stuff, compared to past Aerosmith, The Beatles, and Stones break-ups. ?There is some footage of Lennon, post-Beatles, recording with his new band where he unloads on Paul. ?

he did say Sorum was an albatross around his neck.

Well i wouldnt fucking know would i? i dont spend every waking hour following this band.
like some...

oh okay!

Expect a surprise meeting of Slash and Axl at Club Stereo, or somewhere in the next two weeks ;)

I was thinking the same thing

why??

cool. at least matt didn't sinck to the all time low bashing the guy!

Becasue it seems like this is just an early way to get it out there that Axl doesn't really hate these guys...then, viola...reunion.

you guys keep thinking that... coz matt and Axl ran into each other at a party the entire band is getting back toghether??????????  Recording contracts rewrtten,  Schedules changeds, Managment and legal issues all for what??? to play the same old song?? Fuck that.... 

I bet he doesnt hate those guys but seriously.... do u think hes just gonna can all the work and the entire new band so they can go back on the road and play the hits? 

you reunion consipitors live in a fantasy world.

I doubt a reunion is going to happen this summer, but it sure does seem like things are percolating with the UYI guy's, more than anytime since 1995.? So we know that Axl and Slash, and now Axl and Matt have met in the past year.? Duff is left!? One thing is apparent, it seems fairly likely that at some point, the UYI line-up will play together again.  I doubt now is the time.

Yeah, I'll always remain open to a re-union as a possibility.. but definitely not now.

I've never believed in the reunion thing...unitll now.  There is just something about the way this was written.

Well, this certainly was ... unexpected. While I don't think a reunion is in the cards, it certainly is strange timing. It seems like Axl has now talked to Slash, Izzy and Matt within the past 6-12 months, as someone else mentioned. So it's no wonder that the conspiracy theorists are seeing connections.


Agreed. I wanna see the new band and what they can do as a real band (with interviews, videos, etc.). Plus finally hear THAT album.

There is no way a reunion can happen right now given all the money the label spent on CD. That album has to see the light of day before anything else can truly move forward.

However, don't think Axl didn't see Live 8 this year and the reaction Pink Floyd playing together again garnered. A Waters-less Floyd still sold album and sold out stadiums, but the magic of them playing together again was undeniable.

When Axl heard the numbers being thrown around for a Floyd reunion after that I am sure it got his attention in terms of what a Guns reunion could potentially be worth in the future.

yeah really hard for two band memebers to bump into each other huh?  but it must be a reunion!!!!

yeah! can i hear them play the same set lists they did in 1993?? get real

They will never be a "band" in that sense as they are never going to be Axl's equals. You may work together and collaborate, but at the end of the day he signs their checks and is their boss. So I don't think we will ever see the type of open format in regards to band member access we did with the old guns because Axl was a band member and not an employer.

If money was a big issue they would have done it before, but its not. I heard several times that they were offered big bucks to reunite but that is not Axl's goal at this point...

OK...I figured out what's weird about this thing. ?Matt didn't mention that it was strange that he was with Axl. ?He didn't use the word odd, strange, bizare...nothing indicating how weird it is to be around Axl again after all these years. ?That's just peculiar to me.


Then again, I'm drunk. ?What do I know.

Jarmo, sure did find that nugget quickly. 

There wasn't quite the interest in a reunion before the way their appears to be now. The success of the Greatest Hits album showed the public still has an interest in hearing that line-up together. The money would be much greater now than even a couple of years ago, as VR's success and the GH album have shown there is a waiting public out there. It will happen in due time.

That's cool to hear Axl and Matt got along.

It was e-mailed to me....




/jarmo

This story is intriguing!  What is really interesting, is that the two ended up hanging out at the same afterhours party!  One has to wonder who their mutual friend was?  With all of these rumors, and especially coming right on the tail of one involving both of Matt's former bands--The Cult and GNR--it seems like there maybe more to this.  On the other hand, who knows.

Nice to see what a chicken-shit hypocrite Matt was when he went face-to-face with Axl rather than sitting comfortably behind the VH-1 Behind The Music cameras.  Wonder why he didn't ask him to his face "whats with the piano!?" or inquire about his "erratic and bizarre personality" that "ended the 90's version of Guns".  Suddenly his tune changed and he's telling him what an awesome front-man he is and he has no hard feelings for him.

I don't whether we should have more respect for Matt for this or less.

I don't think there will ever be a reunion, at least not any time soon.

However, I do think it would be pretty fucking funny if they announce they were getting back together.  And then, knowing Axl, they would re-record everything on Chinese Democracy with the orginal guys and take another ten years before its released.

But yeah, no reunion.  No chance in hell.

Very nice item. I am very happy that they cleared the air and learned to forgive each other.

Yeah, but we don't know what they may have planned.  Maybe they re-unite and the band plays summer dates in order to hype up the release of the album.  That album being Axl's songs, as well as some of the songs they worked on in the mid 90's, and maybe some of the songs Slash and Duff worked on with Izzy for VR, before Scott rejected them.

If you're Geffen, do you agree to push back the album to late 2006 or early 2007 so that the guys have time to re-unite and get everything set?  And in the meantime hype up the album by playing some summer shows?  IMO that's an easy question.

And if a reunion is in the cards, we don't know how long that's been the case.  If Slash met Axl last fall he could have been doing his parts on the songs since then.

We simply don't fuckin' know (and that includes Kurt Angle too).  There's lots of ways to make this work and still get the album out this year.

I remember someone on this board saying there's no way a reunion will happen...they wouldn't be able to keep it quiet and we'd all hear about it.  Well, I'd say that's already happening.  This sure ain't what I call quiet.

It may not happen at all, but it's just been one sign after the next for weeks now.  This is merely the latest one.

man if they pull this thing off they better do it right  : ok:

I just wish that someday they sit together to drink some bears to the gold old days and somebody take a pic of this moment, that will rock.

Most of the people should realize that there won't be any REUNION any time soon....

nice article

reunioin or not, its nice to see two old allies being civil to one another

time to bury the hatchet for good

Not really. There hasn't been that big of fued's between Axl and the old member other than that they had different views on what GnR should be, so they simple disbanded.


And this does not mean there will be a reunion. Why do you think he said 6 years and not 9, because Matt met Axl in a hotel about 6 years ago, it didn't bring him any closer to rejoining the band just like it won't now.

They spoke it was pleasent, that's all I'm glad to hear.

Matt was with Camp Freddy in NYC. They performed at the Hard Rock Cafe this past weekend. Scott and Duff were also there with Matt, here'sa review from Peebs over at the VR forum.

http://www.velvetrevolverforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=21417.0

Personally I'm glad that both these guys have buried the hatchet so to speak. They been through a lot with each other and it's nice to see that are on speaking terms again.

 A reunion right now is not very likely, this was just a coincidence, nothing more or less. It will be interesting to see what kind of spin Blabbermouth or Metal Sludge puts on this.

DH

Well, as we don?t know anything, not even you, everyone is entitled to have their own opinion.

Certainly, something?s going on. Being a reunion or not, I don?t care. But I really hope too see some good music this summer.

I just wished sometimes, that Guns n Roses could build on momentum. It?s very important...

that is something else.. Either way there's no reason to be enemies... These are two men that are 44 years old ... I remember when vince and tommy bumped into eachother in vegas.. :hihi:

They drove back to the hotel listening to CD :D

Anyone who thinks there is going to be a 'surprise' reunion on this tour needs to urgently seek medical help.

but maybe slash only back in the band??

It's all good, it's good to hear Axl acted normal with Sorum, it can only make Axl's life easy'er. Seems the only real tension between old and new Gn'R (assuming there is any tension) is between Axl and Duff/Slash.

there was me thinking you live on Sorum's blogg  ;D

All must bow down to Axl  :hihi:
I'm glad everyone is being cool with each other :smoking:

This is good news, I would love to see the old guys bury the hatchet. I don't want a reunion any time soon I'd be happy just to see the old guys getting along as friends :beer:

yeah, it's cool that they get along... But what that "cool" really means - only Axl (and other involved) know's ... As for Axl's behaviour, we'll have to wait and see what he'll say/how he'll act at the concerts,... If he starts with the same old shit "Where's Slash? He's in my ass,that's where he is!", "Izzy couldn't here himself..." and other verbal assaults, all these crap of saying hello and driving around (fuck, Matt's blog sounds like:Yeah, and then we went to a deserted place and started to make out) is just gonna a pile of old shit for as to eat with a great appetite.

I seriously doubt about Axl's intentions... And we know get to the point if a reunion actually makes sense? Two (or eventuelly six people, divided into two groups - 1) Axl group 2)antiAxl group) individuals that hate each other more than anything... So, if Axl doesn't stop his shit and fuckin around (remember what he's been saying 'bout Warren Beatty in Paris? Deja vu, motherfucker, who is know trying to control other people's lives?) in his own little head of his, then all this fuss about seeing each other doesn't make any sense....

BTW: Ask yourself this: you all probably have an ex girl/boyfriend, right? Well, imagine it's been like 9 years since you parted. And by coincidence you saw him/her 'bout 6 years ago... And now you meet again... It's a nice chat, he/she drives you to your place...Does that fuckin mean, that you gona fuck all night long and that you gonna be together again? Jesus people, be realistic.

Yes this is god news, nice that they are sort of friends..  :beer:
But its strange that its Matt though, he's been quite mad at Axl the last years..
A reunion seems likely in some years, depending on how it goes with Chinese Democracy, the other new Cd's and the tour.

No way Axl would fire Tommy, Richard and the rest , after working with them for all these years when there has been "bad blood" between Axl and the old Guns the whole time!..

Axl could fire them easily, cmon this is Axl Rose. In reality it would not take much for a reunion, If they all put there heads togethor and wanted to do it, nobody would try to stop them, promoters would be lined up, and it would probably be the biggest tour ever. obviously the $ dont mean much to axl or they would have done it by now but im sure almost everyone else would.

This was nice to hear, but don't think anything is going to come out of it. Matt loves to kiss ass!!!

what a bunch of hypocrites  :hihi:

Fuck Matt Sorum he sucks.... Brain is the best Drummer GnR have ever had.... Iam glad he can be nice to Axl and Axl nice to him at a club after they get a few cocktails in em.. but i realy dont think and hope that he ever plays with Axl again.... he sucks anyways...

I think some people are reading WAY too much into this. Sure, there has been a couple of 'signs' that a reunion is about to happen, but for every sign, there are hundreds of other signs saying the exact opposite. I don't think there will be a reunion (at least not on the upcoming tour), and I'm quite pleased with that. I'm looking forward to seeing the new guys. When CD is released and the tour is over, I would love to see the old guys jamming away together, but for now I'm looking forward to seeing Mr Finck and Fortus and Stinson. I agree with Leesixxrose, Brain is a far better drummer than Matt anyways.

Interesting the mention of clearing a few things up.. I guess that included the recent law suit press release.. that would have been interesting..

Please quit with the reunion stuff.. GN'R are about to tour with the current line up and VR are recording an album for gods sake  ::)

thats what i hope....

Also interesting.. hasn't see him in 6 years.. I wonder when they bumped into each other in 2000..

I wonder what else they cleared up.. the 'additional musicians' thing in Live Era maybe  :hihi:

Hope Axl didn't have any piano music on in the ride home  :)

cool, that those guys met eachother and came along : ok:

Fuck matt!

I doubt that reunion is posible now on euro tour,maybe we can see Slash but completly reunion isn't posible!!!
But in future we could see reunion,especialy we can see that guys from the old band talked shit about ine other but whey they saw wach other they remembered old good days

Wow real smart with the responces like "fuck matt" or "matt sucks", idiots  ::)

Matt is a such a two-faced idiot...

he said while he was in teh band, is he saying now he stinks :hihi:

i guess some people here just love to argue, and some just make the most stupid assumptions...a truly garbage can.

any chance of setting the word reunion as a starred out word (*******), like some forums do with curse words?

i hate your negative ass.
why are you even here?

Yeah, because it's quite sickening to see that one post in an ex-member's blog showing that Axl and him can be civil towards each other sets off a five page "re-union" discussion. Even if there was one, Tommy, Finck, Brian, and Dizzy would be pissed off that they worked for so many years, and were so loyal just to be told, "O.K, it was nice knowing you, bye."

One thing is for sure, Dizzy would still be in the band.


I don't think Axl wouldn't do that to the new members, but 1 or 2 shows with the old band wouldn't do any harm, would it?

Matt has never denied how good Axl was, even on BTM, the reason loads of people seem to bash him he called Axl 'the greatest rock n roll frontman ever'

It wouldn't, but the reunion crap has seriously got to end. People meet each other. It's a big fucking city, of course you can run into an old friend/enemy/whatever. If people have a conversation with one another, that doesn't mean anything!

it's funny how to matt or anyone, axl is two faced, and to axl/friends/family, the others would be two faced>

REALITY :

we ALL ARE

When it suits us to be.

That's reality.

So fuck it, if matt and axl wanna be nice to each toher, let them for fucks sakes !  :rant: :rant: :rant:

well there wasnt but axl DID fire matt for stupid reasons.

Let's not forget Axl chased him and his dog for eating the food on the table  :rofl: Okay, that still makes me laugh

calm down people, Matt was in NYC playing with Camp Freddy if Im not very mistaken.

Edit: Im glad to hear Matt and Axl cleared the air and got along fine, it's pretty awesome actually :D

Yeah he was and I heard the show sucked actually.

CF never sucks man.

I think thats pretty cool news.  While a reunion tour would shock the hell out of me, I wouldn't be surprised if some old gunners joined Axl on stage for a song or two in the future.  if not, no loss, but if it happened, i would just pray to god i was there.

You should ask yourself the same question. You were banned once from here already.

Exactly what I was wondering. I don't particularly love Matt Sorum, but I always thought that was a bitch ass thing for Axl to have done. Somebody who was your drummer for a 2.5 year world tour and three albums worth of material (UYI I, UYI II, and TSI) is NO "additional musician". Shame on Slash and Duff for letting that slip through as well... although Axl might have snuck it in at the 11th hour like he slipped "My World" onto UYI II.

It would be cool if Axl got that changed for subsequent printings/pressings of Live Era.

Why people complaint about these guys reunited? if nothing like this happen people complain if this happen people complain!!, what the hell people want?, besides CD of course

Exactly. Now things with the band are moving fast for the fans but still the crap comes to disturb fans train of thought.
As if reunionists are trying to dampen fans enthusiasm for the band. enough of this folly.

It's simply nice to know they are amicable to each other.
And that it appears that Matt doesn't think Axl put the words into Slashes mouth either.   :hihi:

true that... Just be glad they made up and there's peace.. Why be bitter forever.. I wish tehy were all friends even if they didn't hook back up for music

Matt was just a tool anyway.? It's not like he has any real input in any GN'R music we ever heard.? He nor Gilby should not be treated like a true GN'R alumnist like Slash, Duff, Izzy, or Steven.? For him to be pissed off at Axl is irrelevant to me.? I just think it's funny how he ran his fucking mouth on VH-1 but got face-to-face with Axl and treated him like his long-lost brother.? Pussy.

Most people are like that.. Time heals all wounds though... Why does them getting along now bother anyone.. he still came in and played drums when gnr was one man down..

Doesn't bother me.  I'm glad the two reconciled (according to Matt anyway).  I'm just saying it was shitty for Matt to say what he said on VH-1 only to turn around and be all cool with Axl when he bumped into him.  In my opinion, he should've apologized to him for some of his comments.  Who knows, maybe he did.

But really though, who wouldn't have jumped and asked "how high and when can I come down?" at the chance to play for GN'R during the early 90's?

I dont care what anyone says about Matt he is a good songwriter. He wrote much of Set Me Free which is a classic GNR type song, even Axl im sure noticed.  Kudos to Matt.

no input ?  ???
your forgetting that he was the drummer, practacly the backbone of all the music.

It's common knowledge that Matt just played Adler's parts for all of UYI.  Axl said that right when they got Matt.  So in terms of writing he did absolutly nothing, save maybe a couple fills.

What he said  : ok:

This is why every one has opinions.  I don't think SMF sounds anything like GN'R.  Not in the least.  Actually, the only VR track that even remotely reminds me of Guns is the opening bass line in Slither.  That's it.

i do like brain more than matt. he seems like a very laid back kinda guy.

I can't see why this would get on anyone's nerves in the slightest. Can't you just stop thinking about yourselves and what you want and be happy for these people that they've reconciled after so long?They are people when it all comes down to it. Would you not be happy if you were in their position? Estranged from a friend for years and then meet up with them again and get along.

And I wonder what Matt means when he says they cleared things up, hopefully they apologised to one another for the various things they've done and said. I think Axl is at the stage in his life where he's willing to forgive and forget, as is Matt and the rest of the guys. It's good to see the old members put their feuds behind them (to some extent) and just move on with their lives.

maybe axl will release chinese democracy as a solo project then start from scratch again with slash and co.

well he needn't start from scratch

if the rumours of the stuff that Izzy worked on with VR are true, then that could be a very good starting point

throw in the Big Guns from CD with Slash doing the solos and hello, you have a legitimate Guns record

When was that?


 :peace:

In his press release right before the show in China.
I remember, he did call Matt an albatross.

I'm glad they're on "good" terms again, bad blood just sucks after what they've been through together.

But I think the fact that Matt didn't reach over and strangle Axl after that press release regading Slash's visit, seems to indicate that Axl wasn't making it up...or at least that Matt believes the story

matt has always been afraid of axl, axl used to chase him around with chairs back in the day...

Nah.... :P

The only saving grace on Contraband is You Got No Right...

Even if those credits say Scott wrote it, I know it's bullshit...

Scott cant write a song to save his life....

Just like Sebastian Bach, notable singing talent, but is a terrible song writer...

Imagine Axl singing YGNR though....now that's the stuff dreams are made out of... :drool:

whatever...wasn;t there enough scott bashing in the "weiland repies" thread? ::)

only axl's main man would know this..  :hihi: yeah weiland know snnothing can't release anything good.. Guy only has mega platinum albums and chart topping singles, wish we were all that untalented.

There's a difference between no talent and not liking someone

Ashlee simpson has no talent, scott weiland has talent..

Mike, the majority of lyrics on Contraband are written by Scott, can you show me one song on that album besides YGNR that even sounds half as well written and composed as say There was a Time or Catcher in the Rye..?

Im sure you'd be hard pressed...

And dont even say I hate Scott Weiland...I have all of STP's albums, and saw them twice on the Number 4 tour, but he is no saving grace on any of those records...

The DeLeo brothers always were, why do you think Richard Patrick scooped them up so quickly when Scott left STP for VR...

Like I said in my original post, Scott has mediocre singing talent but he's a major fucking flake..

But on topic, I wonder what album Axl maybe had playing while he was driving Matt home.. :hihi:

Imagine if Brain and Tommy called Axl on his cell and there like "Hey Axl, its us, were fuckin' smashed in China town, can you give us a lift home?"

"Sorry boys, Im already taking Matt home, and were guna pick up Duff on the way to get some late night KFC..."

Tommy and Brain:......"Oh, Shit......." :o

HAHA. That is some funny shit man.:rofl:

The whole image of Axl driving Matt "home" in his suburban is a fucking trip... like two high school kids going home after a night of partying. "Thanks man. See you in school Monday." EXCEPT we're talking about a pair of 44 year olds who up until that night apparently hated each other's guts! :hihi:

Meanwhile... Axl bumping into Weiland seems almost inevitable at this point... oh to be a fly on the wall when THAT happens....

The fact that they "ran into" each other does NOT =reunion.

true dat!!! But it is kind of cool that they put aside their differences.

If I was a fly on the wall, I'd get inside Weiland's ears and annoy that fool! :hihi:  Axl=Round one knockout!

i really hope, that matt will give some more details about this in the future. it sounds interesting as hell..... mostly the ride to the hotel in axl`s suburban : ok:

Cool news I guess.... I am now and always have been up for a reunion.... I don't think this little incident has any? implications of a reunion anyway though..  Also I never really liked Matt in GnR and I don't really care for him in VR.... I would prefer Steven or even Brain to fill that spot if it were to happen...

Anyone who is being serious accep[ts that Matt Sorum is the trur GNR drummer as he played on most GNR records (3.5) and their biggest tour/most concerts.
Nevertheless,   after all that has been said/done between them,  I would prefer everyone stays where they currently are or otherwise they are all spineless.
I loved Snakepits and Neurotic outsiders,  it took me a while to adjust to VR but I think they are very good band,  I would hate to see all that work destroyed once again just so that tyranny (Duff mentioned on Jap.  tv that everything after '90 was tyranny and no fun).
However,  everyone has their life and should do what they want.

That's cool they are able to be mature...my guess on the copasetic nature of things is that it's probably one thing to have to work for Axl , but it's another thing to just be two musicians in two different bands out and about in town...

Crap people, Dizzy Reed mentioned that he has briefly seen both Steven Adler and Matt Sorum over the past couple years.? Does that mean a reunion is likely?? The two former bandmates running into each other was exactly that: two former bandmates running into each other.? Any reunion hopers are clouded with wishful thinking if they believe any reunion will stem from this.



Really?? When have Slash and Axl spoken?

If you are referring to this....

Moreover, the statement claims Slash showed up uninvited at Axl's door early one morning in October to offer a truce. "Slash came to inform Axl that: 'Duff was spineless,' '[Velvet Revolver frontman] Scott [Weiland] was a fraud,' that he 'hates [Revolver drummer] Matt Sorum' and that in this ongoing war, contest or whatever anyone wants to call it that Slash has waged against Axl for the better part of 20 years, that Axl has proven himself 'the stronger.'

You can read that once and tell that it's all hogshit.? Slash never showed up at Axl's door, and if he did, Axl would've turned him away at the gates, just like he's done with Izzy multiple times over the years.? And I'm really sure that if Slash did show up at Axl's door, he'd say "Oh Axl, you're the stronger of the two of us".? ?::)? jeez people, use your fucking brains.

furthermore, Axl said recently at the Korn party, that he hasn't spoken to Slash in ten years.? So that's proof that that part of the press release was bullshit.

Axl: So what's all this shit about you running your mouth off about me for the last 6 years, and telling people this is not GNR? Are you trying to undermined me, bitch?

Matt: uh... uh... Dude, I love the braids! You look ten years younger!

Axl: You are forgiven.

LAME

Your face is lame!
