Duff Mckagan Responds To AXL ROSE

[killingvector]

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.
 

Dude, don't steal posts from other boards and paste them here as your own. Not cool.

[AUSTRALIAN_TSUNAMI]

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.

i agree, slash is vr!.

He is stealing posts from the Bar. This is at least the second one he ripped.

[Democratized Canuck]

Duff's statements totally have the right tone and I admire his approach. ? However, I personally think Duff and Scott co-ordinated their response with Scott being using the "bad cop" approach with Duff being the amicable good cop. ?This way, Duff doesn't alienate the old Gn'R fans but VR still had someone coming out swinging defending their honour and they get good publicity.

Somebody, said it earlier..... both sides win since they are getting increased exposure. ?

Interesting to look at it that way, I wonder if it was Scott just doing some kind of solo project with a semi well known guitarist, like a dave navarro name (in terms of fame) if anyone would care.  I would think not nearly as much.

Whats ironic is I think VR is some of Slash's most uninspired/boring work.

[DoubleTalkingJive]

Yaay for Duff.   He is being a big man here.... won't sling mud ok:  best way to be

[Axl_owns_dexter]

Duff did what he needed to do.  When Slash speaks, well, its going to have to be something big.  It fucking has to.

[Bono]

Who knows what to think. Slash and Duff have no doubt been in contact so maybe it's alreday been decided that this is Slash's deal. Let's wait and see what Slash has to say if anything before we read to much into Duff's course of action here. It is nice though to finally see SOMEONE acting like a mature adult for a change.

[D]

U know the funniest thing though?

Id bet my hair that Duff would kill Slash or Axl in a fight with relative ease.

So the fact he is a bad ass and doesnt have to flaunt it makes me respect Duff even more.

[SOLGER]

rock n roll is not "mature" go and drink your prune juice and listen to mature boring AS hell u2...

For the fucking win.

Now I guess you disagree, but it seems your logic implies that we should assume every band is on the verge of breakup because Guns N' Roses broke up and Metallica doesnt get along.? Its thats how you view every band then fine...but to dispute my point - that theres no evidence that Axls so-called plan is working to split VR - well...you should have some evidence.

You should have some evidence that Axl had that plan. It's your opinion, nothing more.

You think he had a plan and you posted that it didn't work out because Scott joined Camp Freddy. The way I see it, that was your evidence. I pointed out that even if bands play together it doesn't it mean there's no friction. As far as I'm concerned, you didn't really prove that much.

You have no proof that Axl had any plan to cause friction in VR.

To add to Jarmo's post, If VR are as "Tight" as they claim to be, nothing Axl or anyone could say would cause a rift anyway.

The only way problems would be caused is if tension and problems already existed.

I think everyone here has probably at one time or another said something bad about a friend or coworker but inside didnt really mean it, u might have felt a certain way at the time but its not like u always feel that way.

I would agree with that. I know most here dont have the same view as me, but I think the Axl comments were to start some sort of game with Slash. The trial is coming up, and maybe he wanted to create some drama in concern to that. I'm not sure. Obviously, IF the october morning meeting did in fact occur, then its a whole new ballgame. But that cant be proven without actual evidence. I highly doubt Axl has intentions of breaking up VR. His material blows theirs out of the water, so why would he give a damn about breaking them up?

It could well be a stunt to garner publicity

But it reeks of shit stirring in the first instance

Scott could have checked his response a little (more sensationalism), but it sure will be interesting to hear Slashs version of events

inevitably he will be asked the question at some point "did you go to Axls house?"

Greta Van Jarmo, you are a little wrong. ?There may be no real "proof," but there was also no real need to bring that up in a legal statement, weather true or false. ?If he had issues with Slash and Duff, it should have stayed there, not bring others not involved in the lawsuit into the lawsuit. ?If it went to trial, then those comments could have come out. ?So to view objectively, one would gather that Axl did this mainly to prove that Slash is not the "good" guy that the media supposedly claims while also trying let some other folks question Slash. ?It is cunning move in which both attacks other people (Scott and Duff) indirectly, while making Slash look like a shitbag. ?It has also caused chaos on this board. ?It would pretty much be like Slash saying "Axl said Fortus was a sissy" and that "Buckethead was a doo sha bagga." ? ?If Slash did say that, everyone would say, Slash is trying to ruin GNR by making up shit about them. ?

Yeah, it was definitely "shit stirring". But I dont think it had as much to do with VR. It was more of a slap in the face to Slash. But since the comments did include mentions of VR, it had a slightly different effect.

Yeah, Weiland should have toned down the insults.

Yeah, it could definitely be a publicity stunt, especially if CD is on the launch pad. Maybe Axl wants to antagonize some people he considers enemies, then blow them all away with a CD release.
