Slash & Duff to sue Axl!

[younggunner]

So in the end Slash and Duff are portrayed as helpless victims, and they get a nice plug for their album and they also get a dig in at Axl.

lol...did you get a hold of the vh1 btm tape already?

I really cant believe you guys. You dont think these guys deserve income from their lifes work? Your fucking joking. Most you guys are so naive,how dare someone challenge the all mighty Axl. Forfucks sake,its business. You guys would do the same thin and you know it. I hope Izzy and Steve sue him too for their share

I don't mind them making money. I wanna know why they are doing all this now.

It's been years since those movies were made, so why bring this up now?

I dont know buddy,no one knows but them. We all continue to speculate but im sure there is a good reason. Its most likely not as sinister as some people believe. Maybe recently they were asked to put a song on a new movie and Axl rejected it,who knows? Not us

[SLCPUNK]

You Axl people should be thanking Slash & Duff for this lawsuit because it give you all the opportunity to do what you all do best: cry like the big crybaby pussies that you've all become.

I agree. I can't believe you guys are acting so crazy about this. None of us here know the details or the true reasons behind it. Just sit back and call Axl the victim.....

[noonespecial]

Before you nominate Axl for sainthood, just remember, Izzy and Steven are NOT suing Axl...just wanted to mention that

It's the fact that you say "you're sure there's a good reason". I'm sure there's a "sinister" reason also.

They may or may not be entitiled to money; thats not for any of us to speculate on. But you can't deny that the music press will spin it so that Axl is cast in a bad light and VR will get promotion.

What they are doing isn't wrong - it's just sneeky and underhand.

Wedont know that for sure though

So you're telling me that the thought will have never crossed their minds?

Well, I for one, do not see Axl as a "victim" in this.  That's not my objection to this decision to file this lawsuit.  I think it's hypocritical to say that you are trying to move away from GN'R and the stigma attached to it and that Axl is the only one trading on the GN'R name for professional gain when you do something like this.  

As 2NaFish said, why are they doing this now of all times?  Why a month before your new band's album is released?  While they aren't as guilty as Axl Rose of using the band's name for professional gain, they aren't innocent either.

Izzy and Steven aren't suing Axl, is it because they were left/were fired in 1991/1990?

Well Adler doesn't have any writing credits so it doesn't affect him I don't think.  Although in addition to his settlement, I believe he still get's royalties from Appetite.  So does Izzy.  You sure have to admire Izzy, just being able to let it all go, he still plays and records music, he doesn't care about fame at all.

Im not saying that either,im just saying no one knows but them and most people pick sides and trash the other without knowing the facts.

What did I tell you earlier?

Stick to the VR section if you have trouble posting with trying to insult the majority of the board.

Stop crying about what other people do on the board.

You got that right.  

and... um...

This one's for you Eva:

Keep my name out of your posts.

Its obviousl that SLASH AND DUFF are the ones CRYING!
Crying for attention among other things.
Fucking losers.

How many times in the past couple of weeks and month have we heard people marvel at how much better GH is doing than anyone thought it was. The reason for the lawsuit now is that it A) There is a tremendous interest in the GNR back catalog that maybe wasn't there previously when there was no greatest hits to show that people really care about the old material, and B) It is a great chance to get publicity and promote their band. There is nothing underhanded at all about it. They are using this to their advantage and to the average non-biased fan they are going to come out smelling like roses(pardon the pun). If nothing else Axl should be paying attention to what they are doing to create a buzz and get people into their new projects. Between Wieland's rehab problems and Slash and Duff exploiting GNR, they haven't been out of the news in Months. That can only be thought of as a good thing if your VR.

And BTW, their not broke. THey made some good money from the Money cover and Set me Free to get them going, and at this point the record company is pumping serious cash into this project as there is an incredible buzz going. There was a gigantic bidding war for them after the El REy show last year, so I am sure that funding is the least of their problems.

A comment from Axl would be interesting.

I'm sure he'd get called "an asshole", "a liar" and "a loser" by some.

Oh, and can't forget the "bashing the ex-members" part.  


Wonder if Duff and Slash got new lawyers who told them "hey, did you know you can sue Axl for $1 million"?



First Duff and Slash say they were pissed at Geffen because hey put out a shitty Greatest Hits only to make money. Now they're suing Axl because he didn't let some movies use GN'R tracks in them and they lost money because of that?  

What's next? Steven suing Axl because he didn't let somebody use a GN'R track in a shampoo commercial or Izzy suing Axl for not letting McDonald's use You Could Be Mine in a Big Mac commercial?  


I'm sure there's a reason for this, I just think it's kinda sad that it has to be like this.....

It's too bad they can't just call Axl and work this out. It didn't/doesn't need to goto court. For whatever reason though, rationally working things out with him never seems to be an option. I just don't understand how every former band member gets along (Izzy/Steve/Matt/Duff/Gilby/Slash) with eachother and is still friends and how none of them can even be in the same room as him. They should all be forced into a room with one another and no one comes out until all of this non-sense is stopped and settled. There would be none of these problems now if the Name had just been let go and they all moved on with their lives.

[anarchy]

$lash sucks.

[Izzy]

Btw Izzy, Slash did NOT write the lyrics for "Coma", Axl did. Slash wrote the music for that song.

But Slash wrote the guitars for just about every song, why is he given special mention in the writing credits of just that song?

He's not mentioned in the writing credits of November Rain etc does that mean he didn't write the music?

I'm confused

[jarmo]

I just don't understand how every former band member gets along (Izzy/Steve/Matt/Duff/Gilby/Slash) with eachother and is still friends and how none of them can even be in the same room as him.

Gilby and Axl performed two Stones songs together in 2000.
