Duff Mckagan Responds To AXL ROSE

[Civil Attitude]

As the world turns.....more pointless replies... to even more pointless "press releases"...where the fuck is the real story...

[Steel_Angel]

this def makes me believe SLASH did go to axl's house 

AND THE PLOT THICKENS   

[dave-gnfnr2k]

From this Duff implys its true, and its weird still no slash reponse.

[Thorazine Shuffle]

now all we need is Matt to post a response that reminds us all of why we hate him

   As soon as he opens his mouth about this incident.

[shaun]

with Scott lanuching his war of words on a forum, Duff waitng about a week to comment (with a slightly diplomatic, dare i say spinless responce  ) and Slash due with a comment any time soon. It does not sound like Velvet Revolver are very much together. After Slash, Matt Sorum will be the only one left to comment   

It will be interesting to hear what Slash has to say. He can do a Duff, do a Scott or simply set the record straight. Did he, or didn't he goto Axl's house and say all the that stuff. If he did, then in what context, as maybe Axl as turned it all around

if he knows whats best for him he should just keeps his fuckin mouth shut....

[Sillything]

I feel sorry for Duff. What is he to do if, and I think it is, it's true that Slash said those things? He can't go back to Guns now. Or can he if Tommy is with Soul Asylum? At least Axl didn't lash out at him, only quoted what Slash said. But it's not a fun time for him being with Slash now. And he can't quit VR if he wants to stay in the lime light wich I think he wants. Remeber his remark "What am I? linoleum?" when he was in Guns and got jelaous at all the attention Axl got at airports and so on. I think he basically is a good guy but maybe he has always been forced to compromise a bit too much to keep his place in famous bands? And yes he is very diplomatic in a way that, you know confirms him just as "spineless" Slash was reported saying about him. I bet he wants to say fuck off to Axl if he was sure Axl was lying and I bet he would say fuck off to Slash if it's true but he's caught between a rock and a hard place. Not very rock n' roll but very human

[ppbebe]

Scott wasn't sure of Slash's innocence in the statement.

I don't expect Slash to confirm or deny anything that may have been said, or not said, to Axl.

Me either. Maybe he will drop his suits against Axl before that.

[Backslash]

I wonder what Dave has to say about all this.... ?

[SOLGER]

Duff a class act? hah.....I think he is a little better hearted than Slash, but still was involved in the attempt to sue Axl WRONGLY for the mistake of the stupid copyright money shit.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Axl planted a seed and it seems to be working

There's no doubt about that.  Axl needs to moonlight as a Political Stratagist.

I think Duff is the type of guy who just goes along with whatever anyone in a leadership role puts in front of him.  All the interviews I've read from the 80s-90s implied that Slash and Axl ran the show and just passed ideas through Duff just to give him the heads up, didn't sound like he had, or WANTED, much input.  I mean look how long it took him to FINALLY leave GNR and Axl.  Hes a soldier, not a general.  Unfortunately, his leaders have been two very suspect man of character hahaha.  I really believe Duff does just want to play rock and isn't as into the biz side of it as Axl and Slash are.  I think this statement strengthens my point, hes just bummed that once again he got duped and unnecessarily dragged into another mess.

Suddenly, the spineless comment doesn't seem that far off.  Poor dude. 

I bet Izzy is somewhere laughing his ass off saying "thank god I quit when i did" 

[pilferk]

Sounds to me like Duff is all but confirming that a Slash/Axl meeting took place.

He just won't comment on the content of that meeting...probably because he's not sure what it was, himself.

[Spirit]

If Slash really visited Axl's house last fall, that could explain why he talked so good about him in recent interviews... he wouldn't want his little 'visit' to be know to public.

[JDA]

Good for Duff. ?Obviously, the most mature one out of the two. ?Why should he have to say say something hurtful back and keep the pointless argument going. ?80% of the people hear could learn from his actions. ?That's why everyone likes Duff. ?I hope Matt stays out of it too. ?I don't know why some of you don't like him but I would take him over Steven any day of the week. ?Luckily, we don't have to worry about either of them because we have a kickass drummer now. ?

[Mr.Intensity]

Cool to see Duff actually be mature.... it really doesn't look like he is upset by all of this. I believe Slash went to Axl's home and it will eventually be proven by security tape or a witness. I have no clue what words were spoken between Axl and Slash though....

Axl planted a seed and it seems to be working

The only way that worked is if VR never releases or records another album. In some ways Axl might have done VR a favor because he has given them a kick in the ass and provided them with even more incentive to write a kick ass album. The band may use the adversity to close ranks and not let Axl succeed in trying to break up the band, which I think we can all agree was the point of the that one paragraph which otherwise had nothing to do with the lawsuit.

[younggunner]

People say all kinds of stuff and I'm not going to be one of them

I think he is alluding to Slash here

[mikegiuliana]

hopefully this is over,, Matt n duff have said they are entering the studio next month so maybe they have moved on... I don't know who to believe until slash speaks if he ever does..
