How can you be so fucking hypocritical?
Read your own posts in this thread. You laugh at Slash for playing with some artist you dont admire - just because you dont respect him for that, doesnt mean others dont.
Oh, and calling someone a fag is an insult, "dipshit". Why dont you ask the mods if you dont believe me.
You obviously dont know your GNR history if you think Axl failed to show up to only 1 concert... But instead of finding out the truth, you'd rather just insult more people.

Hi everybody, unlike most of you haters, I am an actual musician making money with my talent while I am in school. I am not superstar like Slash, but I can tell you this:
Working on different stuff is really really really fun, and it keeps you fresh. I am a classical and hard rock player, those are the two genres that are my areas of expertise. However, I am currently working with a trip hop artist, a U2 type band, a death metal outfit, and some other projects that are outside my area of musical interest.
All you guys think about is a person like Slash maintaining his image, so that your idol, or at least a person you admire, isn't tarnished in your view. He does it for himself, because working with other artists is a lot of fun. In addition, a lot of these projects are done as favours. As Guns climbed the ladder to international fame, they were done a lot of favours, and those have to often be returned.
Look at slash or page or anyone else when they are playing with an artist outside their genre, they are always having fun. What do they say about their collaborations afterward? "It was a lot of fun".
Don't criticize something you'll never understand, they are artists so allow them to create. The day someone completely pigeon holes themselves into one single genre because a bunch of die hard fans want it that way, then it's sad.

there is a huge fuckin difference that u fuckers arent seeing
slash played with micheal jackson who is a fuckin legend
axl dueted with elton john who is a fucking legend
these were guest appearances joining the forces of two musical icons
richard is being a touring guitarist for pop acts! god damn it this is guns n roses!!!!! u cant play guitar with nsync and enrique on tour and then be in guns n roses, but fortus is a hired player in my opinion he isnt actually guns nroses to me cant be never will be
slash played after making a name for himself as one of the greatest guitarists ever, his image is secure cause he has created some of the greatest fuckin solos and riffs in rock n roll history, fortus on the other hand has done nothing but play with pussy acts and make GNR Look gay as fuck for still having him
fire fortus now! thats my petition!
so no it isnt ok to make a living, if u are in a band u should be in that band, ive said it as long as ive been on the board, tommy,bucket,robin, whoever whoever should remain guns n roses not off doing this and that, if they dont like axl's slow schedule than quit!
before u fuckers try to hit me with the duff and slash solo record arguments they already released 4 multiplatinum hugely successful cds and one lackluster TSI so they were on a vacation and a break which is 100 percent ok to do other shit
but the new band hasnt done anything to warrant doing side projects when the main project isnt goin anywhere
they are hired guns all of em, none of them have a say, cause if they had a say it wouldnt be the Axl Rose timetable it would be a cummulative effort, and its obviously not!

You're saying being in GN'R should be like being in prison?

Maybe that's the reason they are doing sideprojects?
Oh, and most of the guys in today's GN'R are already established. They don't have to get established by GN'R selling records. People want to hire Richard to play guitar for them, they don't care if he's in GN'R or not.

Just one kockstar? Awww, it's too difficult to choose, but I'll have to go with my favorite one.
Summer of 1991 - GNR is supposed to play in Oslo (do you know where that is?), but Axl is too busy blowdrying his hair in another country. The concert is cancelled. Like Philly, no explanation offered. You want to talk about losing respect in his profession? It is highly unprofessional to offer neither an apology or an explanation. And who could forget his idiotic antics in Montreal? But you only asked for one...
You might claim that Slash lost respect by doing what he does best - playing the guitar. But our favorite redhead has lost boatloads of respect for his unprofessionalism.

if axl gave the other band members something to bloody well do, then they wouldnt have to do these side projects....
Stinson tours, fortus has to do session work to keep food on the table, dizzy plays with his little pathetic bands...
they have no choice man. They have to do it to live and to stay interested in music... they havent been given anything to do in a long time so I sympathize with their side projects.

Amen.
I was reading this thread and I thought there was no chance of actually reading anything with any insight or intelligence but it's good to see some people have a clue.

Steven's drumming made the band; he made a big musical difference. His sense of swing was the push and pull that gave those songs their feel, afterwards, nothing worked.

Fortus is great with "guns n' roses".
now Falcon stop sucking my dick. get out. leave me alone. you're always behind me. are you in love with "rocktar 81"? sorry guy, I'm not gay.
You're first point is debateable to say the least..
As for the manlove direction of your post, one might question someone's fixation on a certain GNR third guitarist...

I'd hardly say that Slash in the Mastercard ad was more then a cash grabbing act in an attempt to "pay the bills".
