Reason why Slash and Duff are bitchin iz cause there wifes tell them too. Thats the fuckin truth, there pussy wiped little bitches. If they'd just look at them selfs in the mirror and come to terms with themselfs, they fucked up, instead of paying for legal advice, back when they were still in GNR, they were dumping there money into drugs and alcohol etc... Shit, listen to them talk, there brains are half fried. There's nothing like a stumbling rehaber 14 years later to come and fuck things up for Merck and the new GNR. Axl has these guys spinning there wheels and spending there money on attorney fees.

Well fuckin Said. Back in 91-93 they didn't care about gnr business at all. Their main concern were their own needs and pleasure. Drugs alcohol... They Fuckin left Axl to Deal with all the business. Now they come 10 Years later and complain. No they have wifes and children and they care for the fuckin Money. Oh Well I expect to fuckin loose the case...? Double Talkin Jives.....

How lucky they were that Axl came, blackmailed and made them sign a contract to control GN'R's name. Without this, they would have been lost.

It was their Fuckin Fault that they signed the name to Axl. That they signed the name means that they didn't care too much about the Fuckin Name. They were 3 People against 1 and they let Axl do what he wanted. They are too damn stupid. On the other Hand Axl probably saw that they didn't care so much about Gnr ant they mainly cared about drugs and booze and that made him Afraid. What if these guys Die tommorow? I will lose the Fuckin GNR Name that i had created. SO i will ask them to sign me the name
and let them waste their lives if they want....Axl Had a vison to move Forward create music and live. Slash & Duff didn't care if they die tommorow.

From what I've heard and read, one of the primary reasons Axl "did it" was he was afraid of what would happen should the band break up. He wanted to ensure that what he worked so hard for was not ruined by people he felt he could no longer trust, mostly due to sobriety issues. He also wanted to avoid a prolonged court battle over just who controlled the name should the band break up (and, by that point, he figured it was just a matter of time). Given music history, it wasn't a bad idea. Now, certainly, the manner in which he did it might be questioned (the blackmail you reference above)...though again, there are various versions of the story out there....but his reasoning, at least, wasn't all that out of line.

It's as ridiculous as the whole. It's fantastic that you can make an ideology of why it was right that Axl mucked the others up.

Cmon dude. If Slash and company had any brains at all they wouldnt have signed that deal. They keep saying they did it just to keep things going. Why not just walk out on Axl right then and there and say Fuck you. Axl would have been completely to blame for breaking up the old band. Plus I highly doubt Axl would have never played with them again if they didnt sign it. After a few days he would have came back to his senses and realized its too big of a band to just let go.
And as the guy in BTM said....Axl did it so that if in CASE ?the old gnr band broke up 1 day, Axl wanted to make sure he was the one who ultimately decided whats to come next...if anything...
Instead they chose to sign it and are not living with the consequences.

see now thats a comment! if they really cared about gn'r and not their own and theyr wifes egos they would have trusted axl and gn'r would still be intact!
Axl just saw ahead of time and dealt with it, so did Izzy i believe... duff and slash never did anything but ride the wave, and now the wave is comming down... axl jumped off while the wave was at it's highest and now he's lurking the water waiting for the next big one!

I let my kids listen to Duff and Slash talk, using them as an example of thats your brain after drugs and alcohol. My thirteen year old says, how could Axl stand them there stupid, there just now figuring out whats happened? I said no, there wifes knew but at the time they were so high, drug and alcoho were more important. But dad, there sick don't they know what they did, they'll never be well again. That's a great example of what drugs do to people.

Slash and Duff are more succesful than many people ever will be. You could have used some better examples for your son. Duff is supposedly a genius, and has business plans after VR is over. Slash is more laid back, but a lead guitar player that made millions playing in 2 different bands. These guys were not drug free, but the way they rebuilt a new band after retiring from GNR is brilliant. They both made probably close to $10M in the past year, and helped write some good songs.

Duff by far my friend is no genius. A genius is someone that's extremely smart. Smart enough to not be out smarted, that means Axl would be considered beyond genius. Wow. By the way, money has nothing to do with being a genius or successful.

If Duff is such a smart guy I wonder why he drank so much to make his pancreas burst. Common sense would tell me that this is not a good thing.

would you care to point out to whom you are speaking?
I think younggunner's point is as valid as Slash/Duff 's explanation. Axl hasn't been too forthcoming about the issue, but I can at least see where he was coming from. The band was being destroyed by its rampant drug use. Axl's ego may have been unchecked but he at least was the one who saw the writing on the wall.

I guess Slash and Duff could sue Axl back then - or blackmailing someone is legal in USA?
I really don't think all this thing happened like that. There's something more than what Slash and Duff said.
