Duff Mckagan Responds To AXL ROSE

[jabba2]

I agree that its a kind of weak response by Duff after being called Spineless by Axl/Slash/whoever. If i was Duff i would at least want to find out who said it. Scott did say Axl's "weak uncreative mind" is who really came up with it.

Duff didnt even deny or confirm anything. Pretty weak. I guess he plans on getting the last laugh in court.

How do you know he doesn't already know exactly what Slash did/didn't say?

Axl planted a seed and it seems to be working

Please explain. I dont know how you see it like that. Axl wanted to play a game, got bitch slapped by Weiland, and Duff and Slash are taking the high road and not playing games(just as I said they would). How is Axl's seed growing?





Alot of people here are walking contradictions. You were bashing Weiland for being so direct, and you said he should have been respectful in his comments. Duff was polite, didnt insult, and didnt play Axl's games so you bash him?

As I have said several times, you cant have it both ways.

Im sorry James.. but Axl got bitch slapped by Weiland?  . Yeaahh. All he did was look like an angry immature 14 year old. Not very "cool" to me.

Some people take this way too seriously. Axl probably doesn't even care. It was just a legal statement and he chose to make a crack at Slash.

We'll just have to wait for Slash to respond.

I thought Duff was polite and cool about it but he didn't deny THE event.

[Booker Floyd]

Well, they are a band and should issue a united statement against what is tantamount to a declaration of civil war within their ranks. Their divided response reeks of dysfunction. Again, we have not heard a direct denial that Slash visited axl.

Reeks of dysfuntion?  Thats how you choose to interpret it, but the fact is the band is comprised of 5 different personalities who will handle things their way.  Like I said, Matt and Scott responded differently...are you going to suggest dysfunction between them?

Scott didnt attempt to speak for Slash and neither did Duff...so a direct denial wasnt incumbent upon either to give.  Thats for Slash to handle how and when he feels.  As for the band itself, writing and recording this upcoming album is a statement in itself and how you and others interpret their individual responses, lack of response, etc. is irrelevant in the face of that.

[Booker Floyd]

Booker, your logic is just as twisted as the most nutswinging Axl fan.  The fact that you can't even admit dissention in VR's ranks reeks of an extremely biased opinion.

 

Then you explain to me how you know theres dissension within VR?

This is not the way the old Guns dealt with outsiders.  Remember when Duff wanted to kick Kurt Cobain's ass for talking shit to Axl

No I dont...refresh my memory with some kind of evidence of this.

Well, that was on track before Axl's press statement. I don't think a continuation of those plans is any indication that all is well in the VR camp. In this case, time will most definately tell.

It is how I interpret a childish tantrum from your lead singer to an allegation that althougth it mentioned him did not involve him personally. Scott should have enough intelligence to either frame a response that respects the wishes of others in the band or allow THE band to issue a statement as a group. Today, Duff insinuated that he did not condone his lead singer's remarks, very telling

 Imagine how Slash will react . Scott embarrassed VR.

Could you please tell us what makes Weiland so afraid? How is he in denial?




KV, I wasnt referring to you as a walking contradiction. It was just a general statement about quite a few people in that Weiland thread.

Scott is in denial that what axl claimed slash said is true. And he is afraid deep down inside it really is true.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Duff has the class that Scott is lacking in.

[Drew]

Very classy! Thanks Duff!

Sorum as interviewer. ? ?Features Weiland, ?Duff ?and Dave Navarro ? ? ? I almost forgot how fuckin gay Sorum sounds. ?

[bazgnr]

I think everyone needs to let the music speak for itself. ?So far, Duff has come the closest to doing that. ?Just my opinion, of course. ?And, although we primarily have demos to go on, I think it's obvious that Axl will be heard loud and clear when the album is finally released. ?

[KIKO2K6]

I have the tape of Slash from the security camera at Axl's house. I'm ready to trade it for Prostitute, Thyme and 2:03 of The General.
 

[jimmythegent]

Doug Goldstein took the blame for booking those shows.

So if Axl got the news that the tour was cancelled by reading it on, for example, MTV.com, he really heard about it on the Internet. ?




/jarmo

thats all very well, but does anyone realistically actually believe that to be true?

[guns_n_roses]

  im proud of duff... You know this almost made me cry reading it. I cant believe an original Guns N Roses member still have enough balls and intelligence to keep his mouth shut... I hope ?Slash is an much a man as duff is. Spineless? I dont think so... He doesnt have to prove himself to the world. The one who needs to prove himself as not being scott's @!#$% would be slash. anybody agree? Im still rootin' for a reunion lol yes im pathetic. i predicted this all and its going right my way. ?

[jabba2]

Duff seems content to let the lawsuit do his talking. Im not sure what Slash's strategy is yet, but he should respond to the fans before people start taking this rumor as fact- like some already are doing here.

It wouldnt surprise me if Slash was going over this with lawyers for a possible slander lawsuit-which i think is what Axl really wants. More court shit.

[da_pope]

Is Slash still part of VR? ?

Without Slash VR is nothing.
Slash is the biggest draw to the band... I know if It weren't for Slash I wouldn't pay nearly as much attention to Velvet as I do know.
