Billboard Exclusive: Axl Rose Speaks

[damnthehaters]

What I don't understand is, Duff, and Izzy have trashed Axl just as bad if not worse than Slash has, so why is it only Slash he wants nothing to do with?

What are you smoking?   Izzy and Duff haven't even come close to saying the crap slash has.

[D]

I would post Izzy's bashfest but it would get deleted.

does it really matter anyways?   we don't know whats been said or done behind the scenes.   people have their reasons and this so is not even worth discussing any more.   all these years laeter, Axl definitely closed the door on this in very clear words, and people still want to talk about it.

[SLCPUNK]

Guns N' Roses are on the album.

You finally got what you'd waited for and now why the fuss?

Again....+1.

[FunkyMonkey]

Here's the pics* they used in the hardcopy of the mag.







*The only photographer credit I see is for ERIK WARD/RETNA on the second pic.

Thanks for posting these...very cool to see. 

[Genesis]

Again....+1.

+2.

What's the matter with people these days anyway? Get a life...

Gypsy, is this magazine available at all newsstands nationwide?

[Julio Von Kummer]

Do you really think that for him to come in a message board and answer a couple of questions is a big deal?

Yes, a very big deal.

Ask most sensible fans and they'll tell you the same.

He answered the fans' questions instead of talking to the usual journalists.

All of this is too small for Guns N' Roses and doesn't mean a shit!

It meant a lot to many fans.

As all we know, every single band get on tour when release a brand new album.

Who said they won't tour? If you read the article this thread is about, Axl mentions "tour cycles".


By the way, if you're gonna keep posting insults aimed at posters here, I suggest you log out.

Come on Jarmo, let's be reasonable here!!
I never had any intention in insult nobody, but you also have no right to be ironic with the people who disagree of your point of view.
I have supported Axl as everybody here, but it doesn't seems that I would get everything from him.

[damnthehaters]

Izzy doing it a couple times doesn't match up to the last 15 years of slash saying something every 6 months

[thomas]

The one nugget Im ever so slightly dissapointed down is the comment that ...we hope to release another album....or along that lines
Give the impression theres only one more album worth of material

why is that sad i bet there 2 more albums or maybe 3 like baz says

[Classic Case]

WTF with these guy??!!...is nor respect in these forum???....maybe he is in a roid rage....when Axl came to the board and talked to the fans meat a lot to me, more than any interview he can make anywhere....Its only 2 and a half months since the CD released and some people are freakin out saying there is no tour....

Are you sure about that?. As far as I know Izzy and Duff said the same things (or crap as you know it). The difference is that Slash was more recurrent, but all of them said words as Axl was became a sort of dictator, was intransigent, etc...

Not sure if this is true but from Billboard and the Forum Q&A it seems the story slash came out with about axl ending the band if they didn't sign the name over to Axl seems to have put Slash on a different level of dislike compared to the other alumni. 

[ppbebe]

Are you certain that slash is the originator of the 'axl wouldn't go' bs?

Dex didn't specify who, did he?

I read that Tom Zutaut told it in spin interview first.

Yes, but non of the GNR alumni has ever publicly disputed Slash over any of his miscarriages in the GNR history telling.
Only Axl.

It tells me personally that either they are kissing up to Slash, guilty with their own motives in playing out their version GNR legacy in public, or Axl is wrong in his story telling.

Duff has gone on record several times saying that he remembers things significantly differently to Slash.

[GypsySoul]

Gypsy, is this magazine available at all newsstands nationwide?

Yeah. 

It's dated Saturday, February 14, 2009.  I believe it hits most newsstands today (Wednesday, Feb 11).

[dangnr]

Gotta Love Axls way of being brutally honest

I can be as ironic as I wish.

Better get used to not getting everything you want.

It's called life.

What's so hard to understand? The ONLY thing you know is what's been said in the press. You haven't heard anything from behind the scenes. You don't know who said what to who. Unless you were hididng around the corner for the past 15 years and/or had wiretaps on everybodys phones, you don't know shit. If Axl feels that stongly about Slash, then I'm sure he has a damn good reason too, one that you, I or anyone else knows nothing about. Use your brain and think before you speak.
