Met VR yesterday :-)

[estrangedpaul]

Scott is a truly nice guy tho believe me.

What are you his mother?? "Oh even though he acted like an asshole to you he is still truly a nice guy he really is!"

Maybe, just maybe, he met Scott and he was a nice guy. Lots of famous people never sign autographs...don't mean shit.

[Communist China]

Scott is a truly nice guy tho believe me.

What are you his mother?? "Oh even though he acted like an asshole to you he is still truly a nice guy he really is!"

Oh great, you're still visiting the section of a band you despise. Why don't you go listen to some of that great Paul Huge playing you stole off the net and leave us alone?

[estebanf]

when asked Scott for one, he just said "you would just sell it on ebay..."

What an asshole... the real stars in VR autographed a lot of things and he refused? 

[gnr2k6]

its pointless arguing about this....scott thought he was an ebay twat...and theres lots of them...and didnt sign...
just becuase duff did dosnt mean scott has too
i still stand by that scott is a nice guy...he signed for me and had pictures with us at hammersmith and even came out of his way to talk to us back at the hotel.....backstage at manchester he came out of his way to tap me on the shopulder and say hi when i was talking with matt.
im sure if he knew u were a proper fan he would definatly sign it....

[Sickthings3]

I met them back when they were still playing the smaller venues before Contraband came out. Matt, Duff, and Dave were sitting around, talking with a bunch of us until a couple of assholes wandered up with drumheads and stuff screaming "Sign this sign this!". Scott walked right by us, looking straight ahead and got on the bus, no smile, eye contact, wave, or any kind of acknowledgment. Slash on the other hand walks straight on to the bus, puts his stuff down, comes out, stretches his arms out and goes "Ok, let's do this" and stayed until everyone got something signed. Was very f'n cool! But again, could have been a bad day for Scott, might not have been in the best of mood.

Sorry for wasting your time.

[jarmo]

then Duff did ask Slash to sign VR new ep. Can u imagine they didnt know what it was... this Melody and the tyranny ep...they were asking "what ta fuck is this?" and then I told its yours new ep :-)

Funny considering:

Bassist Duff McKagan told Launch that the EP is aimed at giving fans a taste of the new record before the band hits the European festival circuit in June. "You know, you would like for people to know your material before you play it. So we're gonna put out an EP ? we convinced the record company ? we're gonna put out a CD/EP with, you know, extra, like, video footage of South America and stuff on it. And we're gonna put a cover of 'Psycho Killer' that we did on there, just some extra stuff."

The band apparently convinced the record company to put out the EP and yet he doesn't know what it was.....

Can't be that the record company put it out and the band had no say in it.... Nah, Duff said it was their idea. He just doesn't know what material they have out. Poor guy.

[Smoking Guns]

That is odd, hmmmm, any chance maybe Duff and Slash were sarcastic?  Or maybe they didn't know the artwork?  Jarmo, good find on the quote.

Your eagerness to insult Duff and the band has apparently hindered your ability to complete a logical thought.

If Duff commented on the CD/EP, explaining its features and purpose for being, does that not prove that he indeed knows what it is? And if thats the case, whether it was his idea or not cant be determined by this anecdote, can it?  Because as weve established, hes already proven that hes well aware of it. 

But if you have any evidence to the contrary (theres a first time for everything, I understand), then please share it with us.

[Krispy Kreme]

I met the band in 2004 and got autographs-1 from  each (not Scott) and I would not, for any amount  of money (ok, well maybe $2 billion) sell  them on ebay. That made my day and the pictures  with Slash are  my window screens on my computer. (I am  blanking out--whatever that is called  that  is the  background to the computer. Too much beer  on father's day). But there  is Slash and  I, side by side, and his t-shirt  says:

Suck me
Fuck me
Lick me all  over
Then get  the fuck out


He  is so cool. I told  my wife she needs to find me that t-shirt  so I can wear it for Bush's society.

there you have two evidences: Duff said ''we'' convinced the record company, and donaltduck said Duff had no idea about that EP

please, Duff, not you... not another liar in this band...

[gnr2k6]

ehm I believe booker was referring to the artwork...

Ill help you out with this...

If Duff had no idea about the EP, how could he have promoted and described it in detail in interviews?  Youre allowing your petty bias to get in the way of common sense.

Common sense? Man you wonder why some people say duff and slash are unreliable with their stories. This is just another reason why you can't believe a word that they say. One minute he says it was the bands idea, then the next they don't even know what it is. Come the fuck on man, they need to get their stories straight before they open their mouths.


You're allowing your blind love for them to get in the way of things.

He didn't recognise the artwork, that's all. Of course he knew about the EP.

it's nothing to do with blind love...you genuinely believe Duff didn't know about it? Surely Jarmo's quote proves he did know about it. How else could he talk about it? Presumably the record company showed them the artwork, they ok'd it and forgot all about the artwork. He didn't see it since, a fan shows it to him, Duff's a bit tired and takes him a minute to recognise it. It's a funny story more than anything else. Don't know why people are making a big deal out of it.
People accuse VR of lying over the smallest insignificant things...Slash's reasons for selling his house, Duff not recognising some artwork......it's absurd.

[gnr2k6]

he didnt recognise it....hes colour blind big time....you might not know it but its true

ahahahaha, this band is getting more pathetic by the day
like watching a fucking train wreck

[jarmo]

You're gonna give me lessons in logical thinking? 

I'm not insulting Duff, just saying what I see.

If Duff commented on the CD/EP, explaining its features and purpose for being, does that not prove that he indeed knows what it is? And if thats the case, whether it was his idea or not cant be determined by this anecdote, can it?  Because as weve established, hes already proven that hes well aware of it. 

So Duff along with his band mates wants the EP out, but once a copy is presented to him he doesn't know that he's in fact looking at the release he wanted to put out.


Can you prove that this didn't happen?

[monkey in a boat]

/jarmo

Here's another scenario:

They (the band) decided they wanted to put an EP out.
They made the decisions of what material to include.
They passed it over to record label / management / whoever to do the artwork.
They go on tour.
During this time, the EP is released without the band seeing the artwork.
Perhaps that decision was finalised by management.

Hence, when our friend here bumps into them, there is an initial "What's this then?" moment when presented with the EP.
Lets not start turning this thread into a slanging match. Please.
There's enough of them out there.
