Libertad debuts well below Contraband

[Pingouirose]

Get out the door is bomb, can't wait to hear it on radio. I've got my hopes in The last fight and GOTD singles, il should rise Libertad sells?

And Slash & Duff can say ANYTHING they want about GN'R, it's not for selling much records but it's their past (100% of GN'R recordings are played by them) like Axl talked about Slash in his last interview (rolling stone 01/06)?

The difference is that that was in 2006 and Axl wasn't selling a product.

Every former member of GN'R knows that by mentioning Axl by name, they'll get more attention.

I guess the old "no comment" isn't an option when you need the press to sell records? You don't want to piss off some journalists by telling them you're not interested in talking about Axl.....

Well, actually some months ago, Slash refused to answer anything related to GN?R. Funny enough, immediately people started badmouthing him, saying that he was just full of himself by refusing to say anything about GN?R etc etc... people are never satisfied as you say many times.
I think the guys must get too fucking tired of answering the same questions "Have you spoke to Axl?" "What do you think about Chinese Democracy?". That must just annoy them... however, they are humble and polite enough to answer them, over and over again, whenever someone asks, and I really appreciate that. Slash is even, these days, much more open minded and polite whenever he talks about Axl so I don?t see why we should complain about that. Afterall, we all want to know some more about our favourite band...

OMG...how stupid are you? How many times have they said no comment and have asked that there be no GNR questions? This is something that will continue for the rest of VR's careers as well as Axl's. You can only avoid those questions so many times. VR has never marketed itself using the GNR or STP name. They could have easily covered one of their songs and put it on an album or released live recording where they played their songs. They play a couple of songs in concert, but it is a very minimal part of the set list. There is more questions now because GNR is on tour again and is actually doing something. If you look at most of the comments that VR has made about Axl's GNR they have been nothing but flatering.

[stolat]

I see nothing stupid about Ines' comment.

[Falcon]

OMG...how stupid are you?

Ease up on the "stupid" rhetoric, insults are not allowed here.

Thanks.

[darth monkey]

It was for Jarmo comment, and perhaps stupid was harsh, perhaps I should have said his comments were ill-adviced, uninformed, laughable, ridiculous, or ludicrous. I appoligize for that. I just wish people would think sometimes before posting.

[stolat]

You haven't been here long have you? You do know that this is Jarmo's site don't you? Will that make you think before you post so disrepectfully next time! If there is next time......

[jarmo]

If you look at most of the comments that VR has made about Axl's GNR they have been nothing but flatering.

Selective memory.

It's all a game..... They're "the good guys" and you buy into that. Good for you.

I tend to agree with the above, they're always going to ask and it's in the best interest of the product to answer.

It'll be interesting to see how Axl handles the former member questions when he does press for
CD.

Falcon is 100 percent correct


Axl will have to talk about the old bandmembers.

Its not like Duff and Slash offer up, they are asked a question and they do the Politically Correct "SAFE" answer.
I See nothing wrong with them answering questions when asked.


IF they didnt answer, what the hell would people say?


"They hate Axl, They are jealous, see they try to do an interview and all they are asked about is Axl" BLAH BLAH BLAH

They are kind of in a no win situation.

They answer questions with nice sentiments about Axl and they are trying to boost album sells.

They answer questions negatively and they are jealous, miserable assholes.

[stolat]

Or he could say to the journalists that he will not be answering any questions about former band members......

[jarmo]

Falcon is 100 percent correct


Axl will have to talk about the old bandmembers.

No he doesn't. 


Even if he says something even once after being subjected to years and years of attacks from the former members, some of you will be saying "Axl is always saying bad things about them  "





/jarmo

[Falcon]

Axl will have to talk about the old bandmembers.

No he doesn't.?

It'll be interesting to watch the whole thing unfold IE, Will Axl stipulate a "no former member" line of questioning mantra or no interview?  Will he go the "no comment" route when questions are asked?
Will the former members be fair game and open for discussion?

The jounalists will be fun to watch as well.  Which one's will play the game if certain subjects aren't allowed, who'll push the envelope and whatnot etc.

It won't be dull, that's for sure.

 

[darth monkey]

Subject to years of attack? Where does this come from? Most of the people that attacked Axl are not his former bandmates and VR. The list includes former managers and magazines and Izzy Stradlin. But you don't pick on Izzy cause he isn't on a competing major record label I guess. Maybe you can provide some insight as to why you never mention him. I think Izzy has every right to say what he did about Axl, Axl has repeatedly bashed former members during concerts. How many concerts in 1993 did he dedicate Double Talkin' Jive to Izzy Stradlin. He had long rants regarding Izzy. He also kicked a FAN out of a concert for wearing a Slash shirt. Once again, I'm not taking VR's side. Scott has said a couple of comments which were not appropriate, but I have never heard Slash, Duff, or Matt say anything to bash Axl, so some people are streching a little here.

[Eazy E]

Slash, Duff & Matt lie to look like the good guys, pay attention.

Jarmo, why the fuck do you think you know Axl Rose so well? ?Just like you get mad at certain members and you say, "you don't know me fuck off". ?Fuck you, you have know clue how Axl will react. ?He is one of the most unpredictable Rock N Roll front men ever. ?Are you his manager? ?No. ?His Therapist? ?No. ?You run a fucking fan site. ?For you to speculate on a such a complex person like Axl is ignorant. ?You have no fucking clue what he will do. ?And I don't give a fuck what he may have said in Japan. ?Until he does it, until its official, we all know nothing. ?

The above passage is an example of how Jarmo talks to people when he disagrees. ?I actually use his own beleifs to dispell his own feelings. ?I feel that it is articulated well and very accurate. ?

Thoughts? ?

Also, Falcon said back on topic, and who brought it back up to a higher level? ?That is right! ?Jarmo!!!!

Umm....why do I feel like I'm about to watch Tony Soprano go have " a talk" with the man who put his finger in Meadow's mouth at that restaurant???

Listen, since you have a hard time understanding and you have to turn to insults to get your non-existent "point" across, I'll just say this: What I said is based on previous actions by Axl.

He has barely mentioned the ex-members in interviews. He mentioned them in 2002 on tour and look what happened.

The other guys, including Steven, sure like to mention him a lot....

At the Korn party in January 2006, Axl answered a question about Slash, so, who knows?
