The quote slash says the horn section was his idea

GNR as sexists / People have accused Guns N? Roses of being sexist, from the lyrics of some of their songs to their onstage horn section of women clad in G-strings.
?Am I sexist? The answer is no,? said Slash. ?We?re talking about stuff everyone goes through. It?s not that we?re trying to make a bold statement. Every song is about experience.
He said the all-female horn section was his idea. ?It?s like seeing a girl driving a Ferrari,? he said. ?It?s something you don?t expect to see, but it?s cool when you do.? He said the horn players wear whatever they want, and they opted for lingerie.

There is the quote I was always talking about for the nasayers that claim it was all Axls idea. Even if you want to claim that it was Axls and slash just gave the idea to make them all females (which its not since slash is admiting it was his idea but? I know slash fans will claim this), this quote still shows that slash loved the idea and was all for it, something that he now claims he always hated the idea and that it was all axls idea.

There is your proof.
So for all the people that claimed I made it up or was lying. You can apoligize now.

The article finally got put back online. I just want to see what all the people that claim slash never said this have to say now.

[gnr_12]

Man they wont say anything.. notice how just you and me posted? aha thats how people MIGHT feel if Slash does comeback...

[Falcon]

Nice work, now what about the back up singers?

Who's idiotic idea was that and why the hell did the rest of the band ever agree to it?

Anyone?

[gnr_12]

Id venture a guess to say the all-girl idea was his once Axl had decided a horn-section would be happening.

Slash was opposed to Dizzy joining at first, why would he encourage that?

Ive read this quote before and never stated it didnt exist, I think context is what is important here

Spin it anyway you like, slash didnt state it was axls idea for the horn section and I (slash) said they should be all females, he states it was my (slash) idea for the all female horn section but either way slash states he never liked the horn section and never wanted it yet in this interview he was all for it and admitted it was his idea.

So this is just other example of slash lying and trying to change history of what really happened.

Still doesn't prove anything, the writer says it was Slash's idea for the "all-girl horn players", not the idea for horn players in general.

As far as I always read, it was Axl's idea for the additional musicians, Slash just assembled them.
Besides, what red-blooded male would admit to having a problem with chicks performing in their lingerie?

So this is just other example of slash lying and trying to change history of what really happened.

How is that lying?
He said he doesn't like the Horns so he thought of the idea of making it an All-Girl horn section. He took something he didn't like and got some benefit out of it.

I guess some people would assume the women were coached into wearing lingerie. I always wondered about that too. Now it seems clear that they wanted to wear it.

Thanks for the article, dave-gnfnr2k.

You are having your anti-Slash trip again, right? When HTGTH was down I visited other meassage boards and I saw that you were on this horn section again. Anyway, the quote doesn't prove anything. Axl wanted a horn section, and then Slash had the idea to sign an all female horn section. Have you noticed that Slash talks about having a girl section in the band and not about having a horn section in the band?

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

Actually if you have read interviews, Axl stated in one of them that the whole idea for the horn section was Slash's idea. And then Slash never disputed the claim. This was back in 1992. So it looks as though it was his idea. The only time he has disputed it was after he left Guns and when it got looked at as being bloated and not necessary, like in the behind the music.

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

and in vh1 behind the music, slash says that whole thing was rather axl's idea, which nobody on the band really wanted.. what a fuckin douche

Um no, I came across one of the quotes where slash said it was his idea and decided to post it to show the people that doubted slash ever said it. And now that I have found one of the quotes the same people are still disputing that it was slashs idea even though slash is saying it was his idea right here. I find it funny you and some others cant admit you were wrong. Oh well like I said when I could not find it, even if I found it back then you guys would still deny it.

slash comes out and says the horn section was his idea and you still cannot admit it, why is that? Axl even stated in another interview it was Slashs idea and that interiview was around the same time as this interview.

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

Here it is, read it and weep:

DEL: Now that we've taken care of that, what about the flipside of the coin: the new guys, especially guitarist Gilby Clarke?

AXL: Gilby is awesome, and a pleasure to be around. He works the stage and the crowd really well. Also, he helps give us a sense of rock 'n' roll normalcy - if there is such thing. Gilby has a way of understanding and dealing with situations that makes the whole trip more tolerable. His insights from being on the outside of GN'R helps us. He has his opinions of what's going on with us, and it helps us get a different perspective, ' cause Slash, Duff and myself have been in GN'R for so long and are so close to it that sometimes we don't see things like other people would. Every now and then he'll say something to me, and I'll go, "Wow, I didn't see it that way." He's been putting himself through his own rock-and-roll education with his other groups for years. Now he's a part of Guns N' Roses.

DEL: Is he a "member" of Guns N' Roses?

AXL: This "member" thing is quite interesting, I read in an interview where Matt [Sorum, drummer] said that if he didn't get made a member, he wasn't going to be in Guns N' Roses. The truth of the matter is, Matt's a member of GN'R, but it doesn't really mean anything. It's kind of like a clubhouse/gang thing. We're all members of this gang. What it boils down to is, whose yard is the tree house in? Matt's a member of GN'R, and his opinions are taken into consideration. As far as that's concerned, Gilby is a member too, Dizzy is a member of the band. With all the background singers, horn players, keyboardists - we look at it like we're all Guns N' Roses. But the bottom line is, the business is basically run by Slash and myself. Then we run whatever it is we're discussing by Duff and see if he's cool with it. Guns N' Roses is basically Slash, Duff, Doug Goldstein and myself, but there's a lot of other people involved that are a part of our lives and a part of our family.

DEL: Do you think Matt's gonna be pissed when he reads this?

AXL: It would be nice if he wasn't. I love everybody in this band. It's kicking ass and feels really warm and really cool onstage. At this point it's the 12 of us that get onstage and f?!king go all out.

DEL: There's 12 of you?

AXL: There's Teddy, there's Dizzy, there's Roberta, Tracy, Lisa, CeCe, Anne, Gilby, Matt, Duff, Slash and me. Slash put this new band together, did all of the groundwork. He did such an amazing job that I just can't believe it really happened. I'm glad to be a part of it. It's a pretty huge thing, and we might even add some dancers, like we used to have back in the old Troubadour days. It's something we've considered.

[ryan_of_lax]

I remember reading somewhere that Slash wanted to make the live shows more like The Rolling Stones', with all the horns and backup singers.

Anyone have that article anywhere?

That just shows that Slash found the members of the all girl horn section...
Find me a quote with a reliable source in which Slash says "it was my idea to have horn section" and I'll believe you.

[WAR41]

fuck it ,I will chime in here.  Especially since I am classified as 'an Axl hater' and a 'Slash lover' all the time.  Do I like the horn section?  Fuck no I thought it was an awful idea, as were the backup singers.  If Slash did choose to bring them in  then he made a bad mistake and it appears that he has learned from it.  If Axl made that decision then it was a bad mistake and it appears he has learned from it.  Either way the shit was an awful idea and whoever made that choice was foolish to think it was a good idea. 

Oh my god... I just said something that can be construed to be negative about Slash!!!  Will an 'Axl lover' be able to do the same at some point?  I know of one who wont be doing it!  And his nick ends in gnrfnr2k 

[mikegiuliana]

I hate the horn section, I hated the afd balloon monsters, I hated the female background singers. I hated wardrobe changes... Bascially hated 1992.. I also hated all added members..

I knew slash said that quote a long time ago, it's in the over the top book where axl is saying how slash put this together and he was pumped, and he said it in a live interview...
