Secret Communication

[2NaFish]

thats exactly what happened. i'm the mysterious voice that handles axl's phone calls (you might recongnise me, i'm the one who says "Mr. Rose will be with you shortly..thanks for holding") and i guarantee thats what happened.

He was so angry at what Izzy had done that he slammed the phone down and found the nearest midget he could (axl keeps midgets dressed as ex-gn'r members as pets in his house) and beat the shit out of him. I think this one was dressed as Duff. He's got a real temper.

I would tell more but, y'know, confidentiality agreements and all that.

Yeah , I'm 110% behind the whole conspiracy theroy!! I cant wait till CD comes out so we can analayze the lyrics and find out when the worlds gunna end.

I'm sure with enough pot and a wave editor to play the lyrics backwards we will find out all the secrets , is elvis alive , who shot JFK , are aliens amongst us ... yup , the works.

I love how the thread below this was created by you and it's title was "How pathetic are we?" 

The irony starts now!

You make me laugh so much man.

"with enough pot and a wave editor"

I'm 120% behind the current band. 


I didn't know about the mediatory business but I thought it was well known that Axl didn't lose in touch with Izzy? I heard it somewhere ages ago.

[Neemo]

I didn't know about the mediatory business but I thought it was well known that Axl didn't lose in touch with Izzy? I heard it somewhere ages ago.

I am also totally behind the current incarnation of GnR.

I seem to recall reading angethat duff and izzy the middle-men between axl and slash

There was an interview with Izzy a bit ago that Izzy said he talked to Axl once in a while.

You always see, Steven, Slash, and Duff?


Yes, I spoke to them on the phone three days ago. I
even had lunch with Steven last week. He is clean,
today, but he is affected physically and mentally.
Slash is well. Duff is very well: he just participated
in the fucking Hawaiian marathon! A Goddamn marathon!
Not bad for a guy whose pancreas exploded because he
drank three and a half liters of vodka a day! He's in
my band, which is really cool. The only one who
doesn't speak with anybody, is Axl. He doesn't call
people on the phone. I like to drive my motorcycle and
I know where he lives. Once in 1995, I went to ring
the doorbell at his place, and he opened the door. We
hugged, he made me visit his house and we talked. It
was cool, we reminiced several times after that. But,
one day, on the phone, I found the Axl of the 90's. He
took notes of what I said, and then, no more news.
Since then, I've gone to his house for a laugh: I ring
the doorbell and there is always someone telling me
that he is not there! I'm happy, in any case, that he
had concerts in the beginning of the year in Las Vegas
and Rio. I'm happy that his microphone worked okay.
Who knows, he might have left the stage otherwise (laughs)!

Cheers neemo.
I guess The article is from like the first half of 2002?

that Izzy said he talked to Axl once in a while.

Maybe old friends are like that.

Izzy: "uhhh.. Axl"
mysterious voice: "Mr. Rose will be with you shortly..thanks for holding"
*Partially complete new GnR tracks play in the background"
Izzy: "Axl??"
mysterious voice: "Mr. Rose will be with you shortly..thanks for holding"
Izzy: "geez, what a fuckin.."
Axl: "hey Izzy what's up"
Izzy: "uhhhhh, I told Slash about our conversation the other day and...
Axl: ".......And....."
Izzy: "Ummmm.....Slash is gonna tell the media that CD is almost done"
Axl: "What the fuck did you tell him that for Asshole!!!!" *click*

HA! That was good. And the partially complete new GNR track was a nice touch.

I think we should just enjoy the most positive development out of the GNR camp in over three years instead of overanalyzing the shit out of a one in a trillion chance Axl's brief comments about Slash and Izzy means theyre already working on AFD 2.

no ones saying that - people are happy that he's talked in a respectful way, its a development in its self

I was being sarcastic about AFD 2. If anyone really believes that, then they've truly gone mad. Of course its good news that he mentions former bandmembers in a more positive tone, but he could have made the vaguely positive remarks because he wasn't in the mood to rehash old shit. The best news from this is his apparent change of attitude in approaching CD. Doesn't sound like he's trying to please the whole universe by making the greatest album ever and burying AFD.

this is true, a more balanced communication than we've ever seen from Axl. It would be interesting to get some remarks from the journalist in terms of filling in a few of the blanks

[McDuff]

Man,I know that alot of us dream about a reunion,and it would be so cool,what would even be better is when CD came out it had the original band playing on it...lol,oh well,I like the new guys,I think it would really freak alot of people out if that did happen tho,but I do know that's not the case,it's all good

[jazjme]

THere was alot of funny ass comments in this thread.lol

[dave-gnfnr2k]

IF slash and Axl made up then the law suit will go away. If they have not then slash will stil sue axl.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I dont care if axl izzy and slash do something unless CD is realease then they can share beds for all I care give me CD and then do all the shit they want to!
Anxiety starts now!!

Sorry Saul I stole your lines 

[SLCPUNK]

IF slash and Axl made up then the law suit will go away. If they have not then slash will stil sue axl.

Unfounded speculation.

[D]

This is what the deal is, u guys are trying WAYYYYYYYYYYYY Too hard.


Axl doesnt want to offend VR/Slash fans *they happen to be the same people who will buy CD, so u dont want to offend*


Slash doesnt want to offend Axl/GNR fans *cause those are the fans who buy VR cds and tickets*

its all politics.

[coolman78SLASH]

well the channels seem to be somewhat open now and I think thats a good thing

Its a not a wholly ridiculous idea that Axls vision for CD may have changed to the point where Slash etc could offer some kind of contribution which would inevitably lead to a full blown reunion

this is of course unlikely, but one can but dream

all the players that have come and gone over the last 10 years may have been infact priming Axl in terms of an inevitable reconciliation with his former comrades?

its a shame a balance cant be sought - one half (or disc) being Axls challenging vision, the other a return or rebirth back to his roots with the alleged set of songs that Slash, Izzy and Duff worked on and that no doubt Axl has had access to

Why would Axl have access to songs they wrote for VR? That's like Slash & co. would have access to new GnR songs as well... isen't it? Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt that theory very much...

[Smoking Guns]

coolman78Slash, Slash and co did send demos do Axl in 2002.  From what sources say, Axl liked what he heard. 

[coolman78SLASH]

coolman78Slash, Slash and co did send demos do Axl in 2002.? From what sources say, Axl liked what he heard.?

Really? Cant remember to have seen that info from a credible source....? 
Please show me where that was written, because I'm not so sure they actually did....

[Elrothiel]

Oh maaaan... now there'z conspiraciez... this thing has either gone on for too long, or this is exactly what Axl wantz.

No other band has ever had so many paranoid conspiraciez dreamed up about it!!

*le sigh*

For how much longer will we all be forced to leap on everything Axl sayz and analyze it to death as if by working it out we'll be rewarded by Chinese Democracy.

Every year we think "this is the year of CD" but every year, there is nothing said, not at all.

Until this year. THIS YEAR we have an interview to analyze. Not just that everchanging date on gnronline.

Maaan, I bet that the proverb "pull a Chinese Democracy" will be entered in the dictionary after it'z released, with the definition of "something that has taken an extremely long time to complete".

[Lesty]

i dont think so.. I guess they all have just grown up..

Exactly. After countless interviews and questions about each other, they probably got tired of slagging on each other anyway. Plus, with the way Axl looked, spoke, recently... It appears he's emotionally healthy, and maybe he's exorcised some demons and is more at peace with his ex-bandmates. I still don't think a reunion is inevitable, at least in the near future, but it's good to know that someday it looks possible.
