Duff Mckagan Responds To AXL ROSE

[ARC]

Duff doesn't sound too confident about Slash to me...

[Minneapolisnewsman]

I would say, that it takes far more guts, brains, and mental toughness, to suck it up and act like an adult and not lash out and comment.  Therefore, i believe, Duff seem's to have the strongest spine of the bunch at this juncture.

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.

It might also have provided a chance for them to air a lot of grievances and just get tighter as a group - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger type thing.

I also sense a song coming out of this.....a big F YOU to Axl in the form of a sick Slash solo and some roaring Scott vocals (with Duff playing Bass in the WAY back of the track hahah)

I believe Slash went to Axl's home

That seems pretty certain at this point. What I am interested in is what spurred the visit, and what Slash's version of what Axl had to say during the meeting was.

I find it incredibly hard to believe that Slash just decided spur of the moment to goto Axl's house and rag on his old bandmates after not speaking with him for 10 years.

There is obviously more than meets the eye going on here. There are things we aren't being told that went into whatever meeting those 2 had in October.

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. ?

Mature? Duff is the one who said that Axl did not write any of the music in guns n roses did he not? Then he had to take it back a week later. He was mature in this instant, and I give him credit.

[Markus Asraelius]

Yeah good job Duff. Not sinking to the level scott sunk to in his response. ?

[Will]

Nice move by Duff.

Agreed, and I think that should be the real topic of convo, not that Axl is an asshole, or Scott is gay and immature and duff is blah blah blah.....there is a series of events that much have occured that we only know very small bits and pieces about - I am dying to know about the meeting, the CD comments from Slash and Axls apparent dissatisfaction with SOMETHING slash did that led to the Axl PR.  I think most of us are only looking at the comments and not whats behind them all.....

Axl told Rolling Stone he hadn't talked to Slash in 10 years-cut duff some slack-Duff said he was misquoted

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

It's a shame that you are happy that Axl is a scheming kind of guy. ?

And slash and duff are not by calling him a theif and claiming axl is not in the gnr parternship even tho axl never left the band and slash and duff did?

Again no one has denied that slash met with axl, so its probaly true.

[CAFC Nick]

Well done Duff. Finally, a fucking mature adult in this entire situation.

Yes, I'm calling Axl and Scott immature...this coming from a 16-year-old! 

[Pig Vomit]

So basically Douche Mckagen did a interview where he said absolutely nothing. Guess Axl was right, he is spineless.

Amen. props to Duff for not getting invloved in the mud-slinging when he had more of a right than scott did, since, after all duff is a party to the lawsuit. but i guess slash is really the one we're waiting on an answer from, if he acknowledges meeting with axl, then you gotta wonder if there is a fracture within the vr camp.

[Jonx]

Duff has always taken the high ground when it comes to Guns. I think he accepted a long time ago that what happened happened. I get the impression he just wants to move on and make music. He didnt take part in the behind the music documentary, doesnt really like discussing what happened with Guns in interviews. I do feel kind of sorry for the guy, i bet the only reason he is involved with this lawsuit is because of Slash!

How is what Axl said immature if its true?

You pick that idea up after reading my reply? ?You might want to step away from the computer for awhile and turn your sarcasm detector on.

[Backslash]

Who's to say Slash wasn't invited? ?I think he went to Axl's house, but the two must have been talking before or after that. ?I'm also thinking that Axl and Slash really haven't been feuding like we all thought over the past 12 years... Sure, they had their differences, but I think it was totally blown out of proportion by the fans and the media. ?Axl and Slash have probably been hanging out all these years, we don't know. ?The whole "I haven't spoken to Slash in 10 years" bit was clearly a lie. ?However, I believe that it was said to contribute to the Slash vs. Axl frenzy that we've been watching over the years. ?I think we need a statement from Axl and from Slash, now that their secret meeting has been revealed. ?Maybe they can shed some light on the situation and what's really been going on since the split.

Spineless is not showing up for concerts in Vancouver on time, Philly not at all, the St. Louis debacle, and Montreal ("I can't hear myself")-I love Axl, and if Slash did say it he is wrong-Duff ain't spineless

Go Duff
