A Couple of Recent Quotes About Axl

[creepingvines]

Tenacious D on Axl:
Ask the D if it's hard being the kings of hard-rock comedy when Axl Rose is still out there, and you get the sense you've transgressed some kind of unwritten code.

"Not, at, all," Gass says at last. "Axl is a comrade, if you will. Always interested in what Axl is up to."

"It's true, dude," Black confides. "We can't talk shit about Axl because we covered a little bit of (Guns N' Roses') Mr Brownstone in our concert. We had to call up and ask permission and he gave it to us and that was pretty solid. It shows he doesn't mind poking a little fun at himself. I respect that."

Good choice to open the next leg of the tour, perhaps?

Tracii "I'm-Still-Not-Over-It" Guns on Axl:

'If I had stayed with Axl I don't know if Guns N' Roses would have been any better or worse but I think it would have been a very different band,' said a laid- back Guns from a hotel room in Camden. 'We would have had a bit more fire.  But the key to that band's success was Axl because at that time his singing really connected with people on a social level.'
Since the bitter divorce of the Axl/Slash partnership, Rose has become a real enigma and is notoriously difficult to deal with, something Guns knows first-hand.
'I haven't spoken to Axl since 1988, but we still have a lot of mutual friends.  I don't wish him ill, but it's hard because he never stops saying bad things about me.
'He was on my MySpace page doing that very recently.
'Axl's problem is that if people don't support him 100 per cent in what he's doing, he just doesn't want to know them any more.  He's so talented but that talent comes from being a nervous wreck and some place in your head you need to be happy, which he isn't.'

Pathetic.  Does he really think anyone will believe Axl gives a fuck about him or his myspace?

I just can't imagine that either. Traci hasn't been in the band since before they even had a record deal. But I guess he'll continue to namedrop Axl if it gives him even the slightest bit of press.

"If I had stayed with Axl I don't know if Guns N' Roses would have been any better or worse..."

is he joking? i mean....seriously.... is he joking??

"...but I think it would have been a very different band"

he`s right with that..... 

We would have had a bit more fire.

i still can?t get over the fact that they replaced traci guns with slash......

But the key to that band's success was Axl because at that time his singing really connected with people on a social level.'

i agree.... axl had the vision, but he seems to desperately try to ignore slash.....

'I haven't spoken to Axl since 1988, but we still have a lot of mutual friends.  I don't wish him ill, but it's hard because he never stops saying bad things about me.
'He was on my MySpace page doing that very recently.

yeah right....  axl talked shit about traci on his myspace account

when traci wrote him an email some years ago and asked him to "help him out" with guns, axl let beta answer....     "this gave axl a great laugh"

He's so talented but that talent comes from being a nervous wreck and some place in your head you need to be happy, which he isn't.'

i believe axl is happy


traci guns is even more pathetic than adler nowadays.......

edit: i feel sorry about adler by the way..... i still like him even when he`s pathetic. traci guns is just a pathetic little loser, who still can`t get over the fact that he quit a band, that was destined to become one of the biggest ever, because he didn?t believe in axl......    of course he stands by his decision now   otherwise he would`ve had to kill himself  a long time ago...  i mean... in his position i would have felt suicidal for the last 20 years...

[2007what!]

this bitter fuck even tried to ask axl to join the band again when they were looking for a new guitar player in 2004/2005, he is a sad prime example of what happens to a person when you quit on a band that later has major success and then want your piece of the cake. fuck tracii. axl doesn't even acknowledge the cunt, so i doubt he talks shit about him in public. if anything it's the other way around, obviously.

[mrlee]

everything ive heard traci in, its been average sleaze rock, no where near as good as some bands.

[kyrie]

I was just about to post the Tenacious D bit.

The Tracii Guns article is just... funny.

[slashsbaconpit]

Tenacious D rules.

Traci Guns, what can you say? The man lives on the coat tails of true greatness, while producing nothing great himself.

[Crashdiet]

give traci a break. la guns had some great tunes... and as much as i hate to say it... axl pretty much does fire or alienate anyone who doesn't worship everything he says and does.

[doooodickiebr]

its cool....nothing to report here

[The Legend]

Tracii Guns is full of shit.

Tenacious D.... always cool! 

[Communist China]

Do you expect Tracii to say 'I would've made the band suck. It was the worst mistake of my life. Axl is a great person. slash is way better than me.'

He's gonna say what he's gotta say. Cut him some slack.

As for Tenacious D, they rock regardless of their views on Axl.

All Tracii has to do is be a man about it.

Here's all he's got to say...

"Well, at the time I thought GNR's music should've taken a different direction, and this is something Axl and I didn't agree on, and thus we parted ways. He did it his way, and it was huge, good for him. If things would've been done my way... well we'll never know will we?"

End quote

That why he's polite, honest, and doesn't destroy neither his or Axl's credibility. Instead, he decides to say one of the biggest rock acts of all time, would've been even bigger with him at the helm, despite the fact LA Guns compared to GN'R, is like comparing Poison to The Rolling Stones.

[Mandy.]

Yes, Tracii... You have no idea how sad Axl is... Especially after two very successful tours.

[axleu]

"Ask the D if it's hard being the kings of hard-rock comedy when Axl Rose is still out there"

The guy who wrote that should be shot...

[russtcb]

Hahaha....way to try to get hits on your myspace page from GNR fans Tracii.

Loser.
