Axl - Legal Press Release

[noonespecial]

Who does Axl think he is talking to? Sending this out on the business wire . . . ? Do you think the President of GE is talking about this in the boardroom. There is no public that cares . . . no body except us idiots cares.

Next time, Axl . . . post your message on HTGH and don't waste other peoples fax machine paper."

That is beautiful.... ...Slash and Duff may have not gotten their checks, but Axl needs to go the mailbox and then the bank so that reality check can clear

It's sad really...sadly humorous

[Grouse]

D I don't know why you continually try to make a point that has been clear 400 posts ago.. SOmetimes you have to just say you know what you mean and others do too.. You'll always have the few that willnot just understand and leave it a that.. You end up becoming some slash lover or axl hater instead of someone just giving an honest opinion..

Then on the other side you have people that say well I only like 2 or 3 songs off contraband, the guitar work stunk, scott stinks the lyrics sucks and so on, YET you say soemthing negative about the new ngr songs (even about one part of a song/s) you are again one with no clue of what you are talking about, or you are just pissed cause slash isn't there, or you have something against axl... This is a daily occurance

The people who dislike vr are not axl lovers , they are just giving honest opinions.. The people who like vr along with new gnr that dislike some of the demos or feel they are lacking in some ways are just bashing hating slash lovers

I really could not agree more

[The Bedouin]

after reading this whole thread, im going to watch the Philly 1991 show again....just to keep the memory of the good ol' days alive

All that Axl told in this press release is exactly true! And Axl doesn't contradict himself, he hasn't spoken to Slash for 10 years

I know someone who lives in LA and met Beta who told her that Slash visited Axl's house sometime in October. He stopped at the gates and tried to get in. He phoned Axl: 'Hey man, I'm fuckin' Slash, you know, the guy who is a liar, that's what I am. Anyway, now I'm telling the truth. Scott is a fraud. Duff doesn't have a spine or pancreas, whatever. And I hate every albatros even if it plays drums. No, I'm not drunk, and I didn't have a fix... You're so strong I know you had some kickbox lessons...Man, that's great,.. Can I rejoin your band? Please.... I will wear a bucket if it's needed....'. Axl didn't respond. Slash wanted to be sure so he wrote down everything and put it to Axl's letter box. Two months later Perla sent their Christmas card, just like in every year, but motherfucker Slash didn't sign that. Axl got pissed off. He never liked animosity.



That's how it happened.

Trust me.?

Well, If we trust you then we have to think that Axl is retarded for taking those words seriously. 

[A Private Eye]

I wonder if this spells the end of seeing Axl in public again, it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see anything of him until RIR, if they show up that is.

[Eternal Flaming Sword of Death...]

as funny as it is, I have to side with Axl on this one. H e has not been a media whore, and has pretty much kept to him self. This should be handled privately, and I feel that in this one, Slash and Duff are allowing themselves to be puppets.

Rock on, or Rock off!!

[oldgunsfan]

They should settle this legal matter on a PPV celebrity deathmatch survivor fight

If slash is actually like that , we were wrong for about 20 years , he isn't as cool as we can think he is. Mhhh I don't know , i can't believe in that , if it's true , I think i'm gonna kill myself!

[VRslash]

wow is this thread still open. everyone should just wait for a official responce. there are two versions of the press release out. one with the 5am crap about slash. and one with out it. the whole thing sound stupid to me. axl can not go anywhere with this cause there is such thing as freedom of speech. slash can say anything he wants. thats why i think this is BS.

[babydolls]

not happy to read that statement at all. ?for gods sake - this is just putting more stakes through old gnr / possibly new gnr/ vr etc. ?i know the legal stuff has to be resolved at some point and we still dont probably know the full story of the events. ?but the comments that slash apparently made - come on come on. stop being cvnts - all of you! ?YA HEAR! ?Just release the music and we wont be forced to hang onto every word of a law suit statement.

[jabba2]

Its possible that after kind words were spoken about one another Axl faxed Slash a document asking to cancel the lawsuits, then Slash declined, and Axl comes up with the scathing press release and counter lawsuit. The odds are probably at least 50-50 of this happening.

A day later as the dust settles......
...........many of us know how talented and brilliant Axl is and often place him on a god-like pedastal.

We forget that he is human and that this rift with his old bandmates probably affects him more than we can recognize.

So perhaps Merck's explantion that this will allow Axl & co. to move forward means more than we thought.

This may be a chapter in Axl's life that needed to be closed for him to focus his energy on his comeback which seems to be right around the corner.

It also may have been bothering him that many were seeking a Slash/Axl reunion.? Axl's statement squashes that.

Hopefully, the gnr camp ignores any response from the other side and HOPEFULLY we will hear of the pending single and cd release date...........

SOON

I was thinking more the opposite that Axl wants VR gone when he comes back. Dragging Scott into this mess hints strongly at the theory. He is upset over the lawsuits to write that press release. Kind of a "knock em out in one swoop" press release .

[Locomotive98]

All I can say is, theres no such thing as bad publicity.....

That press release is a load of bollocks. As for all the 'Slash came round my house slagging off Duff etc' rubbish, who on here believes that?!!

Anyhow, he should know that Axl would start crying and chasing him off with a shotgun. Just like he did to Izzy all those years ago.

Get a grip Axl, and act like a grown up.

Slash and Duff have just improved themselves 100% in my eyes - they just want what theyre owed. As for Axl claiming that theyd ruin the GNR legacy by sticking songs on soundtracks - wake up man, you destroyed that legacy long, long ago. Surely even he can see that.

Dont get me wrong, Ill be at the front at Download tho. But a big spliff and rose tinted spectacles wont detract from the fact that the band in front of me isnt Guns N Roses.....

[waxlrose1987]

Didnt Axl tell Rolling Stone last month that he hasnt talked to Slash in 10 years and that he still loves him...these statements are heresey...There is no way Axl and Slash had any meeting in October....I will belive it when i see it come out of Axls mouth or read an official interview....More reason to get Loder to INTERVIEW AXL NOW!

[eNgIeS]

It's 5:30 Somewhere. Axl's house!

 

excellent joke mate, im suprized no one else proped u for it

[shaun]

In October of 2005 Slash made an unannounced 5:30 AM visit to Axl Rose?s house. Not appearing to be under the influence, Slash came to inform Axl that: ?Duff was spineless,? ?Scott was a fraud,? that he ?hates Matt Sorum? and that in this ongoing war, contest or whatever anyone wants to call it that Slash has waged against Axl for the better part of 20 years, that Axl has proven himself ?the stronger.?


It's good to see Axl use some ammo and throw some shit back. Guess he dished some out to serve as a warning, should the likes of Duff and Slash pull anymore legal stunts. Maybe Axl has a whole lot more ammo where that came from. 

[ppbebe]

these statements are heresey..

these statements came from Axl's camp. Are you saying Axl heard tell of this?  from who? slash?

Again, if I had a pending suit and received a sudden visit from the opponent at 5 o'clock in the morning, I'd record the whole conversation. over intercom/cam or whatever.

A lawyer would strongly recommend their client to do so.

[mikegiuliana]

still no one has said why would slash be there at 5 in the morning after ten years of silence between the two, axl said he was sober, it said he knocked his band mates, etc.. But this doesn't make any sence

1) why did he got there?? Wasn't jus to talk about duff scott or matt

2)why so early in the morning and why was he allowed to gain access so easily with all the bitterness over the years?

3) why does anyone believe this happened?? it's not like it was in axl's voice we heard this or some taping done by axl to bait slash into possibly saying something negative..

In the end I just want music, who really gives a fuck what these guys are saying.. Interviews are cool and all but when you have this many years of nothing let the music do some talking already..
