More Duff on the songwriting thing..

[norway]

it's a funny board sometimes (axl teeth and stuff)
He should say "hello"

[Slashly]

By Duff:

Actually "My World" is one of my favorite songs

Yeah, sure
I dont think he  either was serious nor was sarcastic and he wanted to say, "yeah, Axl  music sucks!", I think he was trying to be funny thats it.
Why does everything a Gunner or ex-Gunner says must have a meaning.During 87-93 Duff and Slash said thousands of meaning less lines and nobody sat  to analize what tey were sayng.

We didn't have GN'R message boards in 87-93.

How do you guys do this? Some of you seem to have copies of every post save in your computer filed in alpahabetical order or something like that. That post of yours Booker is 11 months old....

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with this, it just amazes me.

On topic, Why Duff apologizes if he's gonna make a sarcastic remark about Axl's music writing skills?

[damnthehaters]

When I first read it, I thought it was sarcasim as well. 


However, who gives a shit.  If it was sarcasim, it wouldn't be anything new.  The old members have been giving little digs ever since they left the band.  Just like dressing up as the New GNR for Holloween.  That's a dig if I have ever seen one, and if you guys don't believe so, your crazy.  And fact that Scott also dressed up (as Axl)  fuckin pisses me off.  Scott should be working as Axl's servant.  Atleast the old guys are somewhat allowed to dig Axl because atleast they worked with him.  Scott should have been booed off stage.

I like Duff, he is a very smart and articulate cat, props to him. Like he said "You shouldn't believe everything you read" Very true indeed.

Did that really happen??  I haven't heard anything about it.

Let me get something straight :

Scott does not dress as axl or like axl.

Fashion is back to the styles most 80's and early 90's people used to wear.

Scott is fashionable, not axlable.

Axl did not create a " style", fashion designers did.

Cappiche ?

contraire booker, contraire  and it's fr?re.

[GNFNR_UK]

Yep, he's so obviously bein sarcastic, i'm surprised so many people took him seriously! I was reading the first few threads thinking 'damn they don't all think he emans that do they?!' lol. If he wanted to give Axl some respect he would have said 'Madagascar', 'The Blues' or maybe 'November Rain' if it had to be a song from when he was in GNR. There is NO WAY I believe 'My World' is one of his fav songs!It's awful! I see it as an outro more than a song...

Hmmm, thats not nescessarily true. I think Scott does try to dress like some singers (Not Axl though), I've seen him looking very John Lennon and very Jim Morrison in the past. Either way Scott is a genius, I have been a huge fan of STP for nearly as long as i've been a fan of GNR so i'm not about to start slagging Scott off. He doesn't need to copy anyone.
Also I think Scott does like Axl, well Iknow for a fact he loves Appetite For Destruction cos he's said this before in interviews and he has no reason not to like him. I do think it's a bit stupid of VR to dress up like the new GNR, if they did that. I think the old members are going to be shocked when they hear Chinese Democrazy (If and when) because I know it's going to surpass their expectations, they (well Duff anyway) seem to think it's going to be on some crazy techno vibe or something (cos they only refer to OMG and My World) but they never mention 'The Blues' or 'Madagascar', which are undoubtedly great pieces of music and there will be more songs like that on CD, i'm sure. Even if there are a few OMG style songs (But PLEASE NO Silkworms!) inbetween i'm cool with that. I liked Oh My God, and people who i've played it too did also.

I'm not saying that Scott dresses like Axl.? I'm saying that he did in fact dress as Axl for Holloween as a joke.? And Slash dressed as Buckethead.? I'm not sure what the others dressed as.? To me, Scott has no right to do so without getting some shit.?

And your wrong.? Fashion is back in the 70's now.? Not quite back to the 80's yet and definately not in the 90's.

i give duff credit for retracting the quote

Have you seen the belgium designers ?? plus, what i have seen on the catwalks are more 80's than 70's...anyway, let's not have a fashion argument, if you want ,'ill send you photos of next spring, k ?

[GypsySoul]

I like Duff, he is a very smart and articulate cat...

to all concerned
i will know officially retract a statement made in an interview for the voodoo-fest in new orleans a couple of weeks ago. to paraphrase, i was quoted as saying that axl wrote non of the music for guns n' roses

Yeah ... he's articulate alright.?

On topic:? I don't think Duff was being sarcastic.
I wonder if this quote could be used in Axl's favor in that lawsuit over the use/ownership of the songs??

[Naupis]

I just think it's cool as hell Duff keeps posting on an internet message board and keeping up with his fans. He really seems to be enjoying the run with VR this time around, and the fact he goes to the velvet revolver forum to talk to the fans is awesome. You can tell they really appreciate all of this alot more than I think they maybe did when they were with Guns.

Ok don't take this the wrong way, but does anybody where any of that stuff that is on the catwalk?  Whenever I see those catwalks, Im say to myself "who in the hell will ever where that".   

[D]

I think what Duff said about My world was sarcastic? ?

It's a way of saying...'of course axl contributed to GNR musically..but it sucked !!! '

Good call, i was wondering if i were the only one that thought that. when i first read that, sarcasm came to mind.

Axl wrote for gnr, my world is one of my favs, everyone even hardcore GNR fans pretty much dont like My world or its without a doubt 90 percent of gnr fans least fav track

so it kinda sounded like a dig in some ways.
