I have no idea who this guy is but the article had a GN'R mention:

Nolan said about five years ago he auditioned for Guns 'N Roses, but singer Axl Rose's psychic, after pondering a photograph of Nolan, told Rose she didn't think he was right for the band.

That's another way of saying "they chose Buckethead instead".

Do people really think they choose Buckethead over this guy because Axl's psychic told him to?

And if you do believe that, why?

If this story is true, than Axl is really insane. Not for choosing BH instead of this guy, but for consulting his psychic. ?nervous

GnR have auditioned a lot of guitarists in the past. Just because this guy who didn't get in gives this "psychic" story doesn't mean it's true. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't, but it just seems like another attempt at the very popular past-time of ridiculing Axl in my opinion...

I didnt necessarily say I believed it, I said I didnt think it was a joke.

I dont know if its true, but I wouldnt be surprised if it was, for a number of reasons. ?All of which Im sure youre familiar with, so Ill stop now so that Im not "bashing" any further. ?I will say that choosing a guitarist because a psychic told you to is not a reasonable thing to do...and reason sometimes doesnt apply to Axl.

The Rolling Stone article was probably the least objective piece on Axl that I have ever read. The author, Peter Wilkinson, seems to hold a personal grudge against Axl - this is probably due to the fact that Axl promised him an exclusive story that he never delivered.

I've read and I think you answered your own question:

I fear that Axl has gurus and psychics around him, Yoda etc. And this could have seriously affected CD and the whole GN'R story... You know: Beggars and Hangers-on...

That's interesting because I never remember reading about any consultations with a psychic before asking Richard Fortus, Tommy Stinson or Brain to join the band. ?Those all seem to have come from recommendations from other band members.

All this stuff about Axl's 'Yoda' friend freaks me out - is he really that far gone? I really hope this is a malicious and unfounded rumour, but its been told so many times from so many sources.....

Tommy Stinson seems like a pretty down-to-earth guy from the interviews with him that I've read and heard.

So, regardless of how true these rumors are, Axl doesn't seem to be so far gone that he can't get along and be friends with a guy like Tommy Stinson.

For some weird reason I still think that wasn't the deciding factor. According to several people, Buckethead can play. Wink
