Isn't it funny how Tommy waits until Axl is over in Europe touring before he opens his mouth about the incident at the Plumm!?!?!?!
jesus christ, you people truly are crazy. First of all, didnt Axl and the band leave for Europe pretty much the next day after this show?? He is probably making a joke of it because of how much media attention the incident has gotten. Its ridiculous.
Second of all you think Tommy is milking this?? Our very own favorite lead singer is the KING of milking that band name of his. Here are some examples for you who have somehow forgotten:

Finally you are all talking shit about Tommy's shit/prep clothes blah blah blah... I could have sworn a bunch of you were complaining about Axl wearing jerseys, having braids, facial hair, etc.. Like another poster mentioned, didnt Axl start threatening security guards in a Phoenix airport for wanting to check what he had in a package?? Oh yeah, that is so mature. Some of you need to get a life and stop trying to live vicariously through a person the majority of you have never even met.
You Axl has nothing to do with those right
For those cards and clock etc, if you look at stores that have them they have led zeppelin ones, ac dc ones and other bands right next to them on the shelf.
Well dave, is it not true that Axl is the sole owner of the GNR name? Remember he fairly (according to you) bought the rights to the name from the old members? So as far as I am concerned, these ideas came to fruition because he had to sign the dotted line somewhere. Bottom line is that GNR (aka Axl) and the rest of those bands you listed are milking their names to maximize their bottom lines. There is nothing wrong with that, but for those of you talking about how Tommy is milking this fight for publicity or whatever, you need to remember that Axl Rose is the king of milking his fans out of money through shitty merchandise (which sadly I would bet a lot of you own).

It's more like a devilish smirk on Tommy's face.

Axl doesnt do that, his management does. And I am sure they did it to pay for the cost of CD.

So let me get this straight... Axl was the one who wouldn't let WTTJ in Black Hawk Down. He was also involved in not letting Slash and Duff use GNR songs in other films, commercials, whatever because it would damage the integrity of the GNR name. But when it comes to merchandise he has absolutely no say in how their logo and likeliness is used? And on top of that one of the big reasons why he has no say in it is because MANAGEMENT (not the record label) are using it to somehow fund the costs of CD??? Well if that were truly the case, then wouldnt we have had WTTJ in Black Hawk Down? And wouldnt we have GNR songs in random commercials all the time? You put Oliver Stone to shame my friend. I think you should remake JFK because there were some things I did not like about it the first time.

Excuse me, Axl gave his permission to Bravado to use the name for merchandise.
Did he push the merchandise down your throat? Did he make you buy it all? Do you see an official site with that merchandise being sold? They're officialy licensed. Do you understand what that means? It's a business contract.
I don't see him taking all that shit on tour with him just to sell it (except from the baseball cap, almost every band sells those)...
I don't see him talking about it anywhere.
What the hell does merchandise have to do with Hilfiger's exposure to the media and the way he used an incident with a famous singer to advertise himself and his clothing line...?

I figured that Axl and Tommy would get along great considering they are both racist, pompus little assholes. Maybe they are too similar to get along!

Isn't it funny how Tommy waits until Axl is over in Europe touring before he opens his mouth about the incident at the Plumm!?!?!?!
jesus christ, you people truly are crazy. First of all, didnt Axl and the band leave for Europe pretty much the next day after this show?? He is probably making a joke of it because of how much media attention the incident has gotten. Its ridiculous.
Second of all you think Tommy is milking this?? Our very own favorite lead singer is the KING of milking that band name of his. Here are some examples for you who have somehow forgotten:

Finally you are all talking shit about Tommy's shit/prep clothes blah blah blah... I could have sworn a bunch of you were complaining about Axl wearing jerseys, having braids, facial hair, etc.. Like another poster mentioned, didnt Axl start threatening security guards in a Phoenix airport for wanting to check what he had in a package?? Oh yeah, that is so mature. Some of you need to get a life and stop trying to live vicariously through a person the majority of you have never even met.
You Axl has nothing to do with those right
For those cards and clock etc, if you look at stores that have them they have led zeppelin ones, ac dc ones and other bands right next to them on the shelf.
Well dave, is it not true that Axl is the sole owner of the GNR name? Remember he fairly (according to you) bought the rights to the name from the old members? So as far as I am concerned, these ideas came to fruition because he had to sign the dotted line somewhere. Bottom line is that GNR (aka Axl) and the rest of those bands you listed are milking their names to maximize their bottom lines. There is nothing wrong with that, but for those of you talking about how Tommy is milking this fight for publicity or whatever, you need to remember that Axl Rose is the king of milking his fans out of money through shitty merchandise (which sadly I would bet a lot of you own).
Axl doesnt do that, his management does. And I am sure they did it to pay for the cost of CD.
So let me get this straight... Axl was the one who wouldn't let WTTJ in Black Hawk Down. He was also involved in not letting Slash and Duff use GNR songs in other films, commercials, whatever because it would damage the integrity of the GNR name. But when it comes to merchandise he has absolutely no say in how their logo and likeliness is used? And on top of that one of the big reasons why he has no say in it is because MANAGEMENT (not the record label) are using it to somehow fund the costs of CD??? Well if that were truly the case, then wouldnt we have had WTTJ in Black Hawk Down? And wouldnt we have GNR songs in random commercials all the time? You put Oliver Stone to shame my friend. I think you should remake JFK because there were some things I did not like about it the first time.
Excuse me, Axl gave his permission to Bravado to use the name for merchandise.
Did he push the merchandise down your throat? Did he make you buy it all? Do you see an official site with that merchandise being sold? They're officialy licensed. Do you understand what that means? It's a business contract.
I don't see him taking all that shit on tour with him just to sell it (except from the baseball cap, almost every band sells those)...
I don't see him talking about it anywhere.
What the hell does merchandise have to do with Hilfiger's exposure to the media and the way he used an incident with a famous singer to advertise himself and his clothing line...?
Yes I do understand what that means. THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE is that people are whining about Tommy Hilfiger 'milking' this incident in order to get publicity or whatever and I was trying to make sure that they know their god milks them for all they are worth. Any thing you can think of has the GNR name on it. So Axl is just as bad as Tommy when it comes to 'milking' things.

The GNR merchandise didn't start up until Axl joined with Sanctuary. It is the Sanctuary deal that started the huge push of merchandise

I don't see Axl "milking" this incident at all. ?Hell, he didn't even rant about it. ?Also, I don't go buying every piece of GnR merchandise either. So I don't consider a few CDs and 2 shirts a "milking" dude. ?As for your God, Mr. Tommy boy, he can't seem to let this "incident" die off. ? Oh wait, I guess since Tom boy is buying GnR merchandise that would be Axl "milking" Thomas. ?
?Let it go dude.
