I never read it so thanks for posting..

not much of any news though

Rolling Stone has turned into a bunch of smart asses with an axe to grind. I'm not responding to this story in particular, but you can see aspects of it here too. Story's OK. She kind of supports Axl's side and not the other band's side, which is cool. Of course, we know from people who were there that they were booed and left early.

the guy that wrote thats a dickhead,..."way to secure a spot for the chinese democracy tou in 2017..hope your boobs are still perky in 10 years"...what a fuckin prick

This is what Tommy and Merck said before.  EODM was fired for cutting their set short, among other things.  Nice to hear that the Suicide Girls and Axl are cool though.  I don't think the Suicide Girl was saying those things to kiss ass for a future tour like that writer implied.

Baz is a pimp

Jason Gordon, I hope you are ran over by a bus.

The last comment basically implied that anyone with anything positive to say about Axl are just sucking up to get somewhere. The girl gave him an honest response, much in line with what Baz said about the ordeal, and because it's pro-Axl, she's sucking up. So if she'd said, "Axl that asshole, he fired them for no reason", she would've been truthful and it made the front page of RS?

Ripping off the kids while they be payin' their hard-earned money to read about the bands they want to know about... RS - suck my fucking dick.

Of course everyone is going to get a shot in at Axl since the album REALLY is coming out soon. They have to get all there "Democracy will come to China before it comes from Axl" jokes now before they have nothing to say after the albums release.

I was at the concert. ?Part of it was the crowd was anxious to see GnR. ?Part of it was the sound wasn't very good. ?I could hear the music good, but when it came to the lyrics you couldn't understand a word the singer of POSM was singing. ?It was like he was mumbling into the mic. ?You could tell that they didn't know how to handle the crowd response as they kept looking at each other with a grin like What should we do now?

The crowd was not near as mean as the crowd when I seen GnR in the early 90's in Dayton at the Nutter Center. ?Soundgarden was the opening act, and a majority of the crowd was out by the concessions. ?The fans that remained to listen were booing non-stop. ?The lead singer for Soundgarden got mad and started yelling at the fans that they sucked. ?But at least they finished their time. ?That night GnR didn't take the stage until 1 AM, and played until 3 AM. ?Great time. ?Remember going to class the next day at Miami U. The professor was talking but I didn't hear a thing. ?My ears had a ringing sound for 3 days. ?I didn't talk to anybody unless somebody talked to me, because it was too frustrating trying to listen.

Another thing about the POSM. ?When Axl called them the Pigeons of Shit Metal. ?He was standing on the upper part of the stage in front of Frank and the drums. ?Tommy was on the lower part of the stage. ?In order for Axl to throw Tommy's guitar like the lead Pigeon said. ?Tommy would had to have thrown it up at Axl and would have took out the drums and everything else close by. ?And for Axl to throw it back down it would have definitly broke and everybody would have seen it. ?Total lie by the lead Pigeon.

Too bad there isn't video of it.

Baz is a pimp?

wait, which one is the suicide girl??

This writer is a hack. Jason thinks we really give a shit about his personal opinion.RS should stop letting interns write for them.

[Annie]

Cool read, thanks for posting!

[eggers]

Why would you boo a band thats trying to entertain you? Seems GNR fans can be very closed minded to any of type of music. I know I was back in 91, it was GNR or nothing, I have grown up since.

True.

I'll add to say it was a rapid decline; In January they were all over the place because of Axl's exclusive comments in the Korn party. After that, RS just had to   go for the big one: The CD release date. Changing your stand over getting it wrong is not very professional.

[WeHeldTogether]

What the hell is up with RS?  They used to be so nice about Axl and stuff.  They praised the demos, and now they are totally changing, almost 180 degree turn.  Maybe its because when the album didn't come out on the 21st it gave them a bad reputation?  probably.  I might have to cancel my subscription.

With Axl's letter out, RS shouldn't need to worry about a 'bad rep'. Sometimes magazines get their news wrong. Shit happens. They screw up the CD release date? Well, that's a first.

Rolling Stone articles have always been opinionated. It's nothing new. It's what gave the magazine its edge.

If they had written about the Scott/Axl feud and said something derogatory about Scott, everyone would be saying "Ha that was so funny, that writer is really cool and obviously is a fan of Axl's."

[AdZ]

Well, it is cool to be a fan of Axl.

The suicide Girl is the one on the....insert Jack Sparrow's compus..... one on the right

I didn't get to see the Suicide Girl's and I never heard any EODM material to judge them.. Guns fans are a tough crowd I know that much.

You know, I don't understand assholes booing the opening act.

I mean sure, if you're in New York and someone comes out and says "Fuck New York and everyone in it!!" or something then there will be booing, but it sucks ass when people just start booing a band they don't like. I mean they'll only be on for 45 minutes, why not just deal with it? If you can't do that, why not go grab a beer and chat to some people? Or, you know, open your mind and give them a fair chance.

But no, there's got to be some assholes ruining the show for whoever in attendance likes that band (and I don't care if that's only one person) and giving shit to a band that have busted their ass to get where they are and are just up there doing their thing (sometimes at the personal invitation of the act they're there to see).

Now, of course a band facing that should suck it up and play on for sure, but that doesn't excuse the people in the crowd from being dickheads.
