It says here that he will be doing a reading...somehow I find this hard to picture. :hihi:

Pencil This In

READING: We originally thought this was going down yesterday, but you still have a chance to see it! Not in a million years would we have thought we'd be listing a reading by former Guns n' Roses guitarist, Slash. But it turns out old rockers love to dish on their sordid lives, and this mysterious musician is no different. Tonight he'll read from his book, called Slash, which apparently "redefines sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll."

i would like to thank who ever buried this thread here. this is down the street from my apartment and i didnt go because the thread was buried....cowards....

Attention: SLASH is in VELVET REVOLVER.

If you can't UNDERSTAND that you'll have to look in the VELVET REVOLVER section for SLASH news, then that's really sad.

I don't think anybody cares what street you live on and decides where to post shit based on that.






/jarmo

crassic!

Sorry, but I have to say you're being unrealistic.  You can't post news in certain sections to cater to individuals on the board.  It's our responsibility to find the news in the appropriate sections.

Ali

you buried it in this section you coward...and thanks for letting me know what band he is in. thing is, this wasnt a VR thing...it should have been in the thread in the ex- section, not buried in the VR section, you coward...

What is cowardly about putting news about a member of a band in that band's section?

Slash is in Velvet Revolver, hence news pertaining to him is in the VR section.  Steven Adler and Izzy are ex-members not in VR, so their news is in the ex-members section.

Why you don't quit bitching and take responsibility for your own mistake or oversight?

Ali

hey ass-licker, it wasnt in the main ex-gnr section...it was buried in the vr section....this is about slash, not vr...get your head out of jarmo's bung-hole or keep it there since you seem to like it so much.

Very mature response.  About as childish as your post calling people cowards for where news was posted.

If you noticed, news related to Guitar Hero III was also posted in the VR section.  That is also Slash-related news.  There is a precedent here.

Instead of making childish remarks and insults, why don't you just own the fact that you made an oversight and should've looked in the VR section?

Ali

its the truth....it was buried....hidden, and others have said this also...so, as i said, get your head out of his ass....

and that makes jarmo a coward?   

Slash is in Velvet Revolver.  Therefore, Slash related topics can be found in the Velvet Revolver Section.  Pretty simple concept.  : ok:

that among many other things he does on his site....he gets rid of every single opinion he doesnt agree with...every single one....

if that would've been the case he'd have deleted your immature responses by now.

It wasn't hidden.? You just didn't look in the right section.? Own it and grow up in the process.

Ali

As simple as a concept gets.  More than that, non-VR Slash related news has been consistently put in the VR section, such as the discussion on his book itself, his performance at the Scream Awards and Guitar Hero III.

Ali

Another negative karma.

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=49510.msg1011925#msg1011925

it was i who put the topic here, sorry I do understand how anoying it is to check all these subjects all the time, and its really anoying how they announced this event only one day in advance, you cant be expected to check all of these subjects everyday when theres almost NO news even happening in the Entire GNR world

that being said, you didnt miss much, there were hundreds of people in line, alot of security, no pictures, no personalized autographs, it went really quick

You must buy the book though, i just started reading it and its really cool

no pictures...wtf!  :-\

Next time go to this forum (http://www.velvetrevolverforum.com/forum/index.php?theme=5) to check those things. You won?t have any problems seeing it there... I promise.

No need to apologize.

His behaviour can't be justified.

He attacked Jarmo in 2 different threads for no reason, and that is something I won't accept anymore.

I'm not an ass kisser or anything like that, but our rules apply to every single poster on the board.

Our rules don't say "It's not cool to insult other members of this board, except from Jarmo, he can take it".

They apply to everyone.

But some people, especially this past year, have been taking advantage of Jarmo's patience...

Well, I'm not THAT patient. This bullshit has to stop at some point.


He wouldn't have any problems here as well, if he had checked the right section.

It's not like we deleted the post...

However, I must remind you, in case you haven't noticed, that he's the one who started the trouble.

The fact that you have a different opinion from Jarmo or me or anyone else, doesn't mean that you have the right to start calling us names... Same goes for us.

I know that Christos. He was acting very childish offending everyone for something no one was to blame for. But you must admit that these days, this section of the board ain?t the most suitable place to find Velvet Revolver or Slash information anymore. That?s why I advised him to instead go to a VR forum to find it as I think it would be the smartest thing to do.

Good suggestion.  If you want to easily and clearly find VR related news, go to the VR fan forum.

Ali

Hey, man. don't speak for someone else or put words in his mouth. he's an adult, he's capable of speaking for himself. i appreciated what he had to say and i know him. so, i say , thanks for the words...so you can talk for yourself and let others speak and stand up for themselves...very simple concept....

Hey bud, what do you mean with no personalized autographs?
how long did the whole thing take? i just want to have an idea?
and also, did you see anyone bringing their guitars or cd booklets to get signed?   

thanx

here's  how it went, It started 7pm, i got there 5:30, already atleast 100 people on line, you had to buy the book first, then they give you a wrist band, then you get on line, by 7:00 there were atleast 500 people online many dressed as slash and 2 axls,

at 7 the line started moving you go in the store where there was tons of security, before you get to the room with slash, you had to hand over everything you had like cameras and bags etc. to security then yyou bring your book to slash he signs it quickly smiles, and its over, then the security gives you back your camera and stuff and you have to leave.

by 8pm he was done signing everyone, a few people waites outside for him afterward there were 2 people with records and 2 people with guitars to sign and a few others like myself who just wanted a picture.

when he was ready to leave a line of security guards blocked to fans on both sides to escort Slash across the sidewalk into his car, he didnt sign anything and he went straight into the car. and the night was over i'll post a couple of pics soon

Well, that won't go very well in LA.
If he gets 20 people for his book signing at the Wiskey next week, he'll be lucky....

are you serious? i have no idea, but i would think the turnout would be even better there than in nyc.

See if you can find slash

and thats the best picture i got of him

In case you can't read, I am speaking for myself.

He did nothing wrong. He posted the message where it should have been posted, according to the rules, so there's no need to apologize to someone who attacked others for no reason.

And I'm saying that as a moderator of this board I won't accept this kind of bullshit anymore.

I hope you got the message.

Understood, and thanks for the info, BUT you said that I had to buy the book there first so they  give me a wrist band, what if i already bought it somewhere else?
In my case, I bought it yesterday  ???

no, you had to buy the book from them

hey, i saw you there. i talked to the guy are barnes and noble and he said they only had 300 wristbands to give out. it seemed like more, but there was only 300 people that got to get autographed copies.

You had to get a wristband and they started giving wristbands out at 10am.

I was daydreaming all day that day at work about meeting Slash and posing with him for a picture...and how it would be my Christmas card this year...it was gonna read, "Slash and I wish you a rockin' Christmas!"

I got in line about 5pm and signing was at 7pm. There were signs up all over Barnes and Noble with all these rules:

No Personalized books
2 book min. to be signed
No signing of memorabilia
No pictures with Slash

 So, we get up there, and they took our camera approx. 20ft. away from him!  It was so lame! B & N said Slash didn't want any flashes on him!
When I finally met him, I first  told him how hard he rocks, then proceeded to tell him how "un-metal" all the rules were! He just smiled and giggled.

He was definitely friendly (and shy) the 2 seconds he gave you, but it was herd 'em in and herd 'em out kind of thing. It was so disappointing!

Like IFINGLUVR said, probably like 200-300 people.  So we saw his limo when we came out so about 5 of us decided to wait outside...including the kid that idolized Slash and wanted him to sign his guitar case...and when he came out we over heard him say "I'm done signing." And his security guards pushed us away and he cruised right into his car!  He couldn't even stop for 1 sec. so we could get a pic of him!

 I get that he's a huge rockstar...but it's not f-ing 1992 dude!  I guess the most disappointing part is that he so didn't care!

 I will always be a Slash fan, but I will never forget that experience and how he treated his fans.  I'm not breaking up, but I won't ever feel the same about him.

Awsome pics thanx again

Lame culture, lazy and bored (and stoned alot of the time) people, saturated market - that's Hollywood for you.

There's a reason most celebs choose to live in the LA area and that's not just the good weather. It's because almost nobody cares about them. Except paparazzi who have to make a living....but they are all too busy following Britney Spears or Paris Hilton, so some outdated rocker shouldn't need to worry.

You can walk into 5 random Hollywood clubs on the Sunset strip on a Wed night and see dozens of "legendary" rockers performing at the same time in front of 50 people who got in for just $10 or less.

wow. very interesting. i had no idea. good to know...

BTW, an LA friend told me that Slash's book signing appearance at the Whiskey is being advertized on the LA Weekly as performance.....This is most likely BS, but again, who cares in LA??

So, how much was the book at B&N in NYC? It's about $15 on amazon new and shortly one will most likely to buy it used for less than $10......
Not saying it's not worth to pay $20 or more for a book with a autograph but at least make it personable....and let people take a damn picture.....

Legendary GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash was a guest on "The Jim Kerr Rock n Roll Morning Show" on New York City's Q104.3 on Wednesday (October 31) to promote his self-titled memoir "Slash". Download the interview in the MP3 audio format at this location (6.3 MB).

He talks about the book signing...he says that some girl came up to him and said that this is way too conservative for you - sexkitten was that you? :hihi:

SCOM is sappy? ???

That was definitely me!!!  :hihi: I used the term "un-metal" to him!

since when slash plays metal ?

Some photos from the Bookends signing...
