Slash Returns Stolen Guitar

[-Jack-]

This is the guy who was asking to get his stolen top hat back in 2005 and in 1999 he lost guitars due to a break in at his house.....

Then it turns out he's a thief too.

I dunno, to me there's a difference between a guitar being left in his dressing room and someone forcefully breaking into his house to steal stuff.

Either way it's still stealing.

No offense guys but I'm sure Axl has stolen stuff in his life too. Why act all high and mighty about it?

Now it's who is the bigger thief! Axl vs Slash! 

Exactly. It's fucking ridiculous. It seems like some people will do anything to take some people down a peg on this site. Everyone does things that are wrong. Even Axl. When you live dirt poor in LA, in a rock band trying to make it.. I'm pretty sure you do some bad shit.

What the hell has this got to do with Axl?!
Answer: nothing - so why do some people insist on trying to reflect Slash's negative traits back onto Axl.? ?

Would Slash have returned the guitar in other circumstances - who knows?? In my opinion, this is just another example of Slash knowing a media opportunity when it presents itself and making the most of it.? So in that case, it would appear that job done!

It's been mentioned in several articles, I think. I google'd it, came up with lots of the same articles, but in total, there are quite a few who mention it .

I'm sorry but I clicked on the link you provided and the webpages refer to the one same article. I have clicked on the top ten links provided from your search and none of them specifically mention Axl and shoplifiting in any credible way, shape or form. They are all the same article.

All these links provide are snippets of disjointed information and stuff posted on forums.

When will people learn that you cannot believe everything posted on the net! And that claims must be backed up with credible sources.

[jarmo]

Just because Slash, a grown up rock star with plenty of money to buy a guitar steals a guitar, you have to try to make it about Axl.


Just admit it already. What Slash did was very stupid.

Somebody who's had his own gear stolen goes out to steal a guitar. That's just stupid.

To me, that says something about the person.

Just like it does when a millionaire doesn't tip the waiter.

why are you bringing axl into this?

[fuckin crazy]

To hijack the thread for a moment:
Those SOB's are the scum of the Earth, or even worse is some A-hole who tips 5%. At least the guy who didn't tip at all can claim ignorance.

Now a parable:
 Those who live in glass houses should not cast stones.

I quoted the bible. am i one fucked up MF. get your shit straight dude ... just arguing amongst myself.

Why do some people assume that this is a 'media opportunity' or something?

I mean, maybe - just maybe - he felt guilty and that's why he gave it back.

MOVE TO THE CITY: 1984-1986

Born on February 6, 1962, in Lafayette, Indiana, W. Axl Rose is raised as Bill Bailey, the oldest of three children in a strict Pentacostal family that forbids him to listen to rock music. At 17, Rose discovers that his stepdad, L. Stephen Bailey, isn't his biological father; William Rose, his real father, had walked out on the family when Axl was two. A former choirboy, Rose begins to get into trouble with the law as a teenager, mostly for public intoxication. In 1980, Rose-who, Lafayette legend has it, took his adopted first name from the wheel axl of his skateboard-hitchhikes to Los Angeles and hooks up with Lafayette buddy Izzy Stradlin (n? Jeff Isabelle).

JIM PASDACH: Axl couldn't get a job at the mall stores because they had all caught him shoplifting-I always had to watch him when he came in. The last memory I have of him is when he came into the store and told me he was going out to L.A. to become a rock star. I was, like, "Yeah, right."


and yeh wat slash did was stupid but not every1s an angel

Axl hasn't stolen anything in 14 years so obviously Slash is a better thief

Ummm, maybe because it's Slash we're talking about.?

I mean, maybe - just maybe - he felt guilty and that's why he gave it back.

Yeah, you're right it probably just slipped his mind all these years.? ?
