in 2002 Axl and the'new gnr' tour was basically a flop....lots of negative reviews, not sold out seats and people furious to not see slash or duff..........considering axls lukewarm response at the mtv vma's and the fact that the 2nd vegas CLUB show hasnt sold out it seems like axl is going to have a rough go of it trying to make it in the usa again....It seems the USA fans will not accept axl until he puts slash back in the band..
Why should axl be warm and jolly to mtv? they havent done him any favors, they didnt give him any positive coverage about the tour in 2002, they have not promoted him or acted enthusiastic about him now, they report about him in monotoned indifference really, and yet they seem to advertise and embrace velvet revolver . Kurt Loder used to adore axl in 92 and yet in 2002 he could have really shown enthusiasm interviewing axl and he didnt. The Politics in music is something axls never been especially good at...because hes a singer song writer performer. But now that merck is campaigning things are going smoother and axls getting positve exposure and feedback. Axls Music speaks for itself hes a Genius (keekee), he has a A lot of famous fans too that love to watch his show, he got rave reviews for the new york performances in may 2006 and he got positive praise at rosario dawsons birthday bash. Merck is promoting and campaigning and he knows how to get people talking and crowds interested in the concerts. its just the begining.....keekee
