The "official reason" was made up by the same person who booked the dates without consulting Axl and is no longer working with Guns N' Roses because of that.
Its still the offical reason.. If your refering to Doug Goldsein he still works with the band btw....
I didn't know that he is still working with the band - I'm actually glad if that's true. But I sure read that he was fired.
And then you have the story explained to you by Axl Rose himself.
I was not at this show or have i heard a bootleg.. I only heard it 2nd hand... I dont know what to belive.. Maybe Axl was covering for Carrol at the concert?? i dont know what goes on back stage..
People say many things about Axl but I honestly don't think he's a liar. And why would he lie about something that had been cleared up already?
It seems you're choosing to believe in whatever is more convenient in your new "I hate BH" crusade.
I dont hate BH.. I dont care about him one way or another.. what he did to back out this close to the show is fucked up tho... He was the official reason for two cancellations... That reason is gone.. time to move on..go ahead and twist how it was all Axl's fault...
Actually no, I agree that BH is the main reason for the Lisboa cancellation. But you certainly can't blame the 2001 European tour on him as it's obvious that was someone elses fuck up.
And if you want to put your money where your mouth is:
Bucketheadland
915-C West Foothill Blvd. Suite 545
Claremont, CA,91711
WOW! you looked that up for me?? Maybe Ill box up and mail a plastic bag full of shit to them...
Coz thats what he did to Guns n Roses fans by pulling out of the band this close to a major gig that he had a full year and half to make up his fucking chicken brain for..
I didn't look it up, it's on the main page of BH's site.
As for BH leaving, I'm inclined to think he was just using GNR to promote himself, but I'd like to believe he simply changed his mind about wanting to be a part of GNR. In either case, if you bought his albums and liked them (I'm assuming you did, because you say you bought more than one) I don't see why all the negativity towards him, specially when even Axl is willing to "discuss".
