Axl n' Slash r ready to star over new in 2006

[AxlRoseVen]

I really hope one day they can just put the BS behind them and realise how important to gnr's fame they both were

Slash said to behind the music that he never forgot axl all cuz of he said to the fans that slash used many drugs in 1988 but why did slash play with Axl after all those hard times then? ...maybe Slash never wanted to stop being his friend, he just got mad at axl in 1988 but his mind makes him think that he still hates axl to date!

What a stupid question, quit the Axl vs. slash talk please. The new GN'R is great. I don't miss slash at all, and I also do not find it interesting to know what they have to to say to each other (if they would even do this). Forget about slash man or go to a velvet revolver fansite or something.

hey so if you don't wanna see them together again then don't bash'em, at least let us dream 'bout it

and where is the bashing?

   oh, here i see that you also take ur mask off, i mean ya never were a slash fan so that's why ya don't care 'bout seein' them together once again!

So you are saying scot is a fraud, duff is spineless and you hate matt?

you haven't answered my question.

[AxlRoseVen]

They would cry...

u r kiddin' but they both did their best to get a millionaire contract when they didn't have money to eat in L.A city in 1985 so don't ya think they really have cute memories that make'em cry together?

cherry's review of last night with acoustic gig

WARNING - LOOOONG REVIEW! 


right, so as a few of you know i had vip tickets. dont ask me how, and dont make crude suggestions. truth is a certain member of the band is an utter gentleman.

right - so i get there about 6, que till about 8 to get passes n shit. so many people gathered outside the venue, a good atmosphere.

i didnt have all access so i didnt get backstage, from what i saw that was pretty purely family and friends plus axls many many many line of women! never seen so many women around one man....

the show was great - except the crowd weren't. we had a really drunk twat next to us who was huge and was being really aggressive, but NO the security wouldnt do anything about it - times like that u need axl to eject the fucker! plus the crowd were very quiet, well in my area they were - no one was really going crazy. completely alters the mood. but the band were, as always, excellent. i really cant fault them. personal highlight was izzy and axl singing 'we are sailing' , sounded really beautiful and quite a reflective emotional song - seeing those two singing it together was quite something. one of the best songs was the blues, the best ive seen them do it yet.

ok so i'll go straight for the best bit. the after show party & the acoustic show 

right, so i had an invitation to a club in soho to an after show party, i didnt really expect the band to be there, thought it might be just a place to shove the vip's. it took us soooo long to get there. so we get there finally and people are like  is this it? because there was a that prick jeff brazier (married to jade goody) outside so we thought hey theyre letting all riff raff in! then i saw vanesse outside, (beta's daughter) so i realised axl was probably there...and low and behold, he was. the club was packed - axl was in a corner surrounded by women (as usual  ) and was guarded by security. plus i bought 2 drinks and it cost ?20, fuck that! anyways i asked vanessa where abouts the rest of the band were, she saw my pass and told me to go to cuckoos on ssssssomething street (cant remember). so we leg it down there.

the que was quite big - two different ones. one for the vip's (including competition winners), and the other for what it looked like axls guests. there was a red carpet and rope, fancy. paparazi too, waiting for the man himself. so we que up for around 45 mins, people getting turned away left right and center. notlooking hopefull, i get to the front and this bouncer tells us we dont have the adequate passes. fuck that i thought, ive been put on the guest list personally by a band member, so i waited around. the band arrived minus axl - they look pretty dopey!  esp robin. then a blacked out people carrier arives, out jumps diane o'connor (i really dont know about that situation...he sure looks like he;s playing the field) and axl pops out, is really happy and smiley, has photos taken shakes a few hands then goes inside the club. we're like shit, gotta get in there. then another guy is on the door (beta's son im sure of it) and i basically just tell him i need to go in, flash my passes and manage to get myself and 5 other people in (all had passes).

WELL where are we....yes. so the room which they are to play in is TINY, so so small, its already like an oven in there, people dancing on tables, the band are already set up in the sofas andmake shift stage. so myself and my friend get our way to the front. and on walks axl! he is in a good mood, a fucking great mood. dancing, laughing, everything (pretty sure he was wasted). im not sure, i think they opened to mr brownstone and it sounded incredible!! really amazing. ive never seen axl so at ease, comfortable, happy and damn right compelling to watch. plus i literally stuck my arm out and i could touch him! he was right at the front, letting people grab him, shake hands etc. he even took someone's joint out of the crowd and had a couple of drags  was really funny. some girl had a cowboy hat on too which he took a lot.

he talked about how people dismiss the band, saying something like "to all the people who think this isnt guns n roses FUCK YOU!" massive applause, tommy mentions he has been in the band for 8 years now. the band clearly love axl - robin was always laughing with him, band lookin at each other if axl did something funny and laughing! was just such a casual atmosphere.

best songs - KOHD, he got everyone to sing a long. also paradise city - which they closed too, was amazing acoustic!! axl says his usual "london..good fuckin night!" screaming as if he's in a fucking arena!

after the set, the band (who were quite subdued) packed up, robin got his guitar case and just walked out by himself. i met tommy afterwards, greatest person ever - genuine, kind, sweet. coulnt see where te rest went...oh but jackamo eat your heart out, i met mr pitman himself! that dude is crazy! he walked out by himself (not v crowded at this point) i was like  "CHRIS! legend!" he was so cool, he took my hand, kissed it,...a lot, tried to speak to me in french, i asked for a photo but he said he doesnt do photos! LOL. but...as he left...he did accidently grab my friends boob! i now christen thee chris titman. nice guy tho, really funny.

everyone was dancing and drinking at this point (about 6am) and i see bach next to me! so i walk over to him, before i get the chance to say anything he grabs my waist, pulls me towards him and says "oh my god...who are you and where did you come from?! you are so beautiful! your face is so beautiful!" so i was pretty flabbergasted by that,,,..didnt know what to say to be honest! so i thanked him, told him i appreciated it considering i was drenched in sweat and beer. he was hilarious tho, when he talks he just sings!! he was screaming at me! so i got a photo, said my piece and left. what a fucking legend!

basically it was just an amazing show which i felt very privalidged and beyond grateful to be a part of, you really felt like you were witnessing something earth shatteringly amazing.

Slash ain't coming back

[GnR-NOW]

awesome review ... this is GUNS N' ROSES

[mikegiuliana]

I really hope one day they can just put the BS behind them and realise how important to gnr's fame they both were

Slash said to behind the music that he never forgot axl all cuz of he said to the fans that slash used many drugs in 1988 but why did slash play with Axl after all those hard times then? ...maybe Slash never wanted to stop being his friend, he just got mad at axl in 1988 but his mind makes him think that he still hates axl to date!

yeah I remember the whole thing when opening for the stones...  I'm sure that part just brought up old memories

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Slash says he sends Axl Christmas cards every year just to be cordial, but never gets a reply, so, they'd probably beat the shit out of each other. Or yell a lot.

[gin hotel]

surely if axl and slash ever came to blows slash would kick his ass 

[ppbebe]

Is nay his wife, Mr. Brownnose?

ya know that i wanna see'em all play back together again! but ya just think of robin solos, that's it 

And never you forget the chris solos.

God save AxlRoseVen, AxlRoseVen is dreamin, AxlRoseVen is dreamin......

And how nice! 

?..How can we all trust ya? Can ya find da?original source to read n? be sure ?bout your cheap story? ?.I?ve heard to say that British people r stupid but I don?t think Slash is so fucking idiot to do something just like that  , guess British persons need to be respected too !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


 ...P.S : I ever was sure that Izzy never stopped visitin' Axl , specially for X-Mas times! 

[Evolution]

I'd guess they wouldn't exact hug and make up, but be at the very least polite to each other. IMO No way would a fight start.

something tells me that Axl's been cryin' for his ex-mates since their empire was destroyed by in 1996...remember they shared amazing moments together!!!! 

[gueli]

Slash would be polite to Axl but Axl would say something "Get the fuck outta here!" and the Slash would say to the press "I was polite to him but he was rude, bla bla bla" like the thing about sending christmas cards to Axl and never get replies 

More seriously, one of the things that made Slash leave GnR was a discussion he and Axl had due to his drug abuse in 96 (if you see any interview or snakepit show form 94-96 you can see how fucked up Slash was). Probably Axl didn?t tolerate Slash`s drug abuse because he had seen enough of his friends dying of overdoses (todd crew,shanon hoon, etc) and  was too much  "in your face"  in the discussion (like he was in the gig with the stones) and Slash didn?t liked it and has he wasn`t enjoying playing with other guitarrists in GnR he decide to quit. Maybe after all this years they could be friends again. But i only want a reunion after this band realeses all their material

oh c'mon dude....we both know that axl's been tryin' to sound like a decent father while talkin' to his kid but da'truth is axl was also lost in a world of drugs 'till gnr was destroyed.....even he used more cocaine than their ex-mates but knew how to contol himself while givin' some fucking interview to da'press (although he was stoned to da'bones!!!!)....so i don't see the reason for axl to speak shit 'bout steve n' slash.....axl wasn't a naive angel, even he isn't!?

Axl used drugs but less frequently than the Slash, Steven and Duff but he never got so fucked as them, even in an interview to mtv in 88 (i can?t find the link on youtube).  And when he used them like you said, he controled himsefl and he knew when to stop. Slash stoped drugs after quiting GnR and in 2000 he was drunk almost all the time  . That`s the difference between Axl and the rest of the guys. And he did sound like a decent father talking to his kid not because he was trying to but because he  had seen some of his friends dying due to drug abuse and he was worried with Slash. And he never came to the press saying shit about this, he only talked about this discussion between him and Slash to some fans that were in the same hotel than him at Rock in Rio 2001

dude, in 1988 axl said in front of million of fans that slash was ingestin' cocaine while rolling stones were playing at L.A city concert, don't ya think that they both had to speak privately before destroyin' slash this way?

Dude he was talking about heroin aka Mr. Brownstone. And he talked that way because Slash`s drug abuse was outta control at the time and was destroying him and the band, like Steven`s drug abuse destroyed him  Dude, Axl was and his against the outta control drug abuse the rest of the band was practicing at the time and that`s a fact. In Axl`s birthday in 88 Izzy gave him a guitar but Axl destroyed it and gave the pieces back to Izzy with a note with "Cocaine Sucks!!!" written.
This doesn?t mean that he later didn?t consumed cocaine but he never got fucked up on stage or like the rest of the band  or like Steven in studio
