one thing ya gotta respect about axl.

[gunns1]

hahaaha, The thing I love about Axl , is the amount of power the dude has,

I mean, off topic a bit, but at the Sydney Concert last year, the arena's employees were asking everyone if they were catching a Train home, and they did a "rough" head count, to see how many people were, because They had to change the train timetables /delay the trains in accordance to the amount of people their that needed to catch them, because the concert was going to run late..

The man has mystique, power at the touch of his fingers, and He just floats on by the past decade like hes just an average person (until he tours that is)... I think hes a very humble person,


However, in saying that, Dont judge him yet on not being a media whore, because Once chinese democracy is out, you can guarantee that he will be out their promoting it, and doing tv interviews/ etc...

I mean, does he have a choice?

[Bitch Slap Rappin]

Well you have to remember that Slash is a guitarist. He's not the front man. Jimmy Page did the same thing in the seventies and still has his integrity intact. : )

[November_Rain]

NOT true , not long ago he was on a TMZ, and the facts were so wrong, I wrote a blistering email to them.lol damn I gotta find that. How I went off telling them dont report shit when you dont know shit...etc.

They don?t care, know why? because shit sells.

That is different. When CD is released he?ll be appearing in the media...etc because promotion is a part of his job, I mean, in 2006 he was all over the place, he was even photographed kissing a woman inside his limo..it was pretty obvious he allowed that as a kind of publicity but I think you?ll hardly see any pics of him doing things like putting petrol to his car, shopping...etc.

He?s been in the music business for a long time, he knows how it all works and he like many other celebrities knows what to do or where not to go in order to avoid paparazzi.

he stays far away from  TMZ .that show makes people look like shit really.i have the ught most respect axl never gets caught by them photo hounds.good going axl,ya gotta love that sneaky axl.

I have an honest question, though.  Is it that he's sneaky and doesn't get caught by the photo hounds? or does he just avoid going out anywhere? 

you know i was thinking about that very thing.while reading your quote to me.i allways thought axl just paid them off to stay away.but then i also thought axl could change his apperence so no one would reconize him.or he really stays home or in europe were nobody would  know.only axl knows were axl is right ?

[Jeramy]

slash seems to have the  'hey look at me, in was in gnr and im special' attitude while axl comes across more like 'leave me the fuck alone  people, i just sing songs' 

its no wonder these 2 grew apart as soon as they became successful 

[mrbucketfoot]

One thing you gotta respect about Axl is his refusal to compromise. I like that. He wants his vision carried out properly.
You don't see too many people enforcing their principals today.

[horsey]

well spoken,i liked that.

[Farid Bak]

and the music, got to love the music.. lyrics, feeling... good new music indeed 

[crazycheryl]

Personally I think Axl is a stay at home dude. He probably has anyone he wants to meet with come to his pad. Plus he seems like he likes to be alone. And with Beta around, she probably does a lot of stuff for him. Plus, he probably has some hired help that does the normal crap so the pappo can't catch him doing bs. But I think where he lives is far from the scene and he probably also goes local and there are no pappo staked out in the smaller towns unless they get a tip and Axl would probably beat the piss out of someone who tipped them.

[crazycheryl]

I totally respect him for this. But damn, he should have been born a Taurus.

[The_Wretched]

this is the thing...

celebrities must appear on tabloids/news/event, etc. to be not forgotten and talked about. people talk about axl, know his name/legacy... without him saying shit!!!!

who can say that?

would people talk about paris hilton or lindsay lohan if they weren't half-naked all the time and in and out of rehab???

axl doesn't need to appear to be noticed. he just is... because he is the one and ONLY axl "fucking" rose!!!!

 

[markreed]

Axl's out there, living his life, doing his thing. If the paps REALLY wanted to find him, all they had to do was hang around where he lives long enough : I doubt he sits in a hermetically sealed bunker following Howard Hughes Kleenex Protocol. After the 2001 shows, the paps had pictures of him carrying shopping and walking down the road with Beta. If they absolutely wanted to devote enough time and effort to shoot him, I'm sure they could get a photo of him.

As for 2006, well, Axl was all over the world plying his trade : unless he slipped into a coffin and was wheeled in and out of the venue in that and spent the rest of his time in hotel rooms it's inevitable someone would see him eventually walking down teh street or backstage or at an airport or something. It's no big deal.

NOT true , not long ago he was on a TMZ, and the facts were so wrong, I wrote a blistering email to them.lol damn I gotta find that. How I went off telling them dont report shit when you dont know shit...etc.

Sounds like a well educated E-mail.

I agree that Slash sold out.  Adding to the list above, what was that commercial for, where he was standing on a car playing guitar?

That was a VW commercial, the car came with a First Act guitar that could be plugged into the stereo.

I love how doing a commercial is selling out... It's not like he optioned an unreleased song to be in a HD commercial.

I want to know how the hell can you play a guitar and still drive? Smart idea!

Right. If Slash promotes his book he's selling out. If Axl (someday) promotes his album it's part of the job.

Maybe you shouldn't have said anything because it made you look a bit ignorant considering Slash does both and more!

 


This has nothing to do with him so leave him out of the thread.

Personally, I could care less if Slash promotes his or a book.

I have a problem with him promoting a book that contains blatantly false or unfounded
information and promotes it in an underhanded and divisive way. He claims on multiple talk shows that he's
"setting the record straight" when that is nothing more than presenting his skewed opinion as fact. His book is nothing
more than a glorified piece of the muckraking journalism that we've been hearing from the press for years.
