Absolutely but people would jump on the old dudes for answering a question asked to them as "Promoting themselves through talking about Axl etc"

I argued till I was blue in the face that it was ok to answer questions asked and u wait and see, Axl will do the same.

People said they should just say "No Comment"


I think he went a little far in his bashing.

Told u guys when Axl started doing interviews he would talk a bout the old band etc.


So much for the "No Comment" stuff right?



to be fair,when you have guys like adler in the media who hype up reunions constantly and fake media whores like slash who says whatever he thinks will be popular opinion, things need to be addressed.

Believe me, I'm hoping the next Axl interview is a song-by-song disection of the album with his thoughts on each track where he doesnt' even have to mention the word slash.

I think he meant the tours they did. Including the one you remember so fondly...
The tours they did were not for the album

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

The tours were to get out there and promote themselves and play for the fans.   It wasn't that long ago.   And I think more is coming.

But they kinda promoted the new band didn't they?


fair point. I have always said the 02 tour was just to get out of the studio and introduce the band to the public. But by no means was it the tour that would define the album or new gnr.

That tour comes after the release.

Look at the number of interviews and the time spent on talking about it... You might see the difference then.


That tour comes after the release.

So the Use Your Illusion tour legs before the release didn't count? Damn....  Wink

Axl answer what he wants, to what questions he get.

If he gets the question about Slash, and a reunion, he may want to give an answer that dont create speculations..
What if Axl had answerd "no comment" to a question about reunion.. then the speculations would be out there right away..

I think its nice to see that Axl says what he what he have on his heart...

Axl is only focusing on it because of the loud ass detractors who keep spreading reunion rumors and refusing to allow GnR fans to discuss their fav band on these forums without hijacking it to be about the old band.   My opinion at least.

so in reality Axl is doing what you say I and other always do?
focus on the negative.


Quote
If people would stop the reunion bullshit, this interview might have went differently.     This is what is needed to wake people up.

Wake who up exactley?? Do you think people care? Imo, Axl missed that boat a long time ago. He still has the right to get his side out but in terms of changing peoples minds, he has no shot. Instead, hes going to come across as bitter etc.

Whos holding you back from talking about GNR? You make it seem like this board is like mygnr? If you dont like MYGNR then whey do you go their and let it effect your gnr spirit? You have a home right here where its totally opposite of my gnr.

Slash is more a media whore who maintains a fake public persona and lies his ass off for the sake of self-promotion and financial gain.
Whether he is or isnt how the hell would you know? Were you ever his friend or something?

Axl is telling his side of the story....just like Slash has told his. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Quote

Being that GNR didnt tour anytime before CD's release it didnt have to be brought up....

So now your going to compare the massive UYI tour with the 2002 and 06 "CD" tour? What planet do you live on?

Another thing.

"Why doesn't Axl do interviews? He needs to talk!  crying " is now "He shouldn't talk about that!  crying "

Wow, great interview.

Strong words about Slash!  My interpretation is not that he's saying "Slash is a shit guitarist" but perhaps "Look at where Slash was in the late 80s with his playing on appetite and look at where he is now.  He's not challenging himself and not growing as a player".  

And as much as I do love some of Slash's work (a lot of it in fact), maybe he's right.

And he also points the same light on himself too, saying that he was in the same position.  It seems like a very easy trap to fall into.  Slash played for hours and hours and hours a day in his youth, working on his technique and his style.  Does he have the same commitment today?

We can go on forever about Axl and Slash.

His comments about Izzy were strange as well.

But  Axls comments about new material was the low point of the interview for me. They contradict what he has said in the past numerous times and also what he said about the whole masterpiece angle.

That is why this is just another press release and not a real interview

Nice reading, I hope Del and Axl do a follow up about the music of CD and the working process of it.

So true! There is a quote from the stage version of MEDEA GOES TO JAIL by Tyler Perry where Medea talks about people in our lives being like trees; that some fall off like leaves in a season,while others are roots that keep us grounded in a storm. "When you get some roots, hold onto them," Medea says, "The rest of 'em? Just let them go. Let folks go."  For those of us in the GNR community Axl is our roots and the former members of GNR are leaves that fell away. We just need to let them go and SLASH needs to move on himself. Axl would have been a success with or without those guys, it may have been very different, but AXL would have made it. My own mother said, "none of those guys would have been anything without Axl."

if your going to make statements like that, or be allowed to make them here, then I hope your not going to be the same person complaining when people start challenging those statements
