Wow, Jarmo has hit the nail on the head and given proof to back it up. Slash has said time and again that he had a beef with Axl wanting the band's sound to evolve. Matt Sorum has said it, and others have said it.
I don't know what to think now.
Ali
jarmo posted articles to back it up.
how ever with what jarmo was saying it also makes it seem like slash wanted to commit suicide over music differences, slash didn't like the direction the band was heading an out and out dictatorship, with the additional info you get from the book you can put those small articles into place and see the overall picture, without reading the book you're left creating your own interpretation of what is said.
Those "small articles" offer insights to the stuff he's been saying for years. You know, the time between when he left GN'R and the book being published?
Which in time is about eleven years.
It's possible that there's more than one reason for his decision.
But those are
his
words.
He didn't offer a better explanation in any of the interviews.
Now years later he puts out a book and you excuse all those quotes with "Oh but Slash said that but he meant this....".
It's like he's not taking any responsibility for anything that happened.
He's just listing reasons and he's not to blame for anything.

Slash is scheduled to be on David Letterman this upcoming Tuesday, Oct. 30th, not with VR, but on his own. ?As far as I can remember, this is his first sit down conversation on a late night talk show. ?I'm sure Letterman will ask him what his intentions were on writing the book, etc. ?This should be very interesting.....

Thank you for letting us(me) know about Slash being on television. Hopefully though, someone will put it on Youtube so I don't have to watch Letterman.

No matter how you cut it, Slash has changed his tune on the artistic differences reasoning for his departure from GN'R.
In listening to everything he did with GN'R, Snakepit and VR, I cannot believe that he would've hung in with GN'R had they in fact gone industrial. ?I just don't see it. ?There is nothing that he's done musically that shows that he is open to a tremendous stylistic shift. ?Nothing. ?About the biggest shift I've seen is with Libertad in moving away from a more guitar-driven, aggressive, bluesy, rock record. ?That's it.

Wow. For all those bashing Slash I wonder what your stance might be if in fact he rejoined GN'R down the road? Give the guy a break about lieing about visiting Axl's house. That was a private matter aired publicly. I can sympathize for Slash and I have no reason to doubt his reasons for leaving the band. What began as an equal partnership became Axl's project and for someone as talented as Slash that wasn't going to cut it. Axl, dealing with his own issues over the years, did not make things easy for Slash or the other members to work with. All due respect to Axl and I've been obsessed for far too many years waiting for Chinese Democracy, but as a creative person I can only imagine how difficult things had become for Slash. I can only hope that down the road they'll be able to move beyond this shit and come back together for what would be the greatest reunion of all time.

That's fucking funny dude, you made my night!
(About Letterman)
I just might get the book to see what he has to say about Axl.
Hopefully I can just borrow it from someone though.

one thing that did bug me with the book was his account of the st louis incident, it seems a little off.
Thats because its wrong, anyone who has seen the pro shot video knows Slash is full of it regarding this show.

Slash 2007
3) losing Izzy and Steven, who were such an integral part of the band's sound and personality...without them, the band no longer had its original chemistry.
Slash in November, 1993
" During Appetite..., Lies and Use Your... I had to put up with Izzy the whole time. I never liked playing with him. It was wonderful to escape him on this record. It sounds tighter and so much cooler than anything we've done before. I always got irritated over Izzy's way of playing. It didn't sound right. Before "Spaghetti", we erased his guitar and Gilby put on a new one. It sounded perfect!"

We know Axl bashed Izzy aswell and we know how that turned out, its obvious at the time when they were pissed at Izzy and wanted to seem happy with Gilby thats the spin they'd put on it.
Also, Slash does somewhat concede they had different musical directions in mind, but what he says that it would be frankly stupid for such a great band to split over something like that that could be worked out, he says the other factors were more dominant, and because of them, it became impossible to work things out.
Paraphrasing it is very hard as he mentions it at various times as obviously his departure wasn't based on a day, it was a culmination of years of events.

Yea Axl bashed Izzy several times but thats neither here nor there. And I dont remember him saying anything bad about Izzy's playing other than drugged up live performances.
but isn't it strange to say that Gilby was in a sense filling a void that Izzy COULDN'T.. then turn around and say part of the reason he left the band was because Izzy wasn't there?

Oh yeah, definitely, sometimes i get the feeling Slash doesn't even know how he feels about some things, just depends on the day you catch him. I don't think its anything malicious though, just naiive perhaps.

I thought the whole reason he wrote this book is because the media changed his words and the stories, and slash wanted to correct it all. So i don't see why you guys are shoving articles that conflict with the book. Those false articles are one of the main reason this book is out.
