Axl Rose Denies Press Statement Regarding Rumored LAX Incident

[Classic Case]

Axl Rose denies releasing press statement regarding rumored LAX incident.  "I did not release any statement or authorize either any statement or anyone to release a statement regarding anything at any airport anywhere.


We had recently began working with newer individuals in management in relation to our current Asian tour in support of our Guns N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy" in addition to Irving Azoff's though as it happens we are once again touring Asia without management of any kind.


Imo this non sense may be some type of manufactured or publicity stunt.


We're looking forward to performing in Osaka and Tokyo Japan doubling our pyro show and with our "new" full stage as local requirement have limited us on its use in our last performances.


Thanks to everyone who's come out to see us.  It's been really fun so far and the addition of our new guitarist Dj Ashba joining us along w/ guitarists Ron Bumblefoot Thal and Richard Fortus, gives the night a kick in the pants.


Hope to see the rest of you soon!!


And to any publications running this; please feel free to tack on whatever negative agenda supporting nonsense you generally do (You know who you are!!).  After all it's only someone else's livelihood you media police state, no fun, spoil sport, communist bastards.


Peace!!"


The band's currently in Seoul, South Korea where the promote was "sorry" to inform them they would not be able to use a helicopter from the airport to the venue as North Korea would "wonder" what it is!!

Doesn't surprice me after the failed promotion for Chinese Democracy.

Doubling the pyro show! Jeez 

So, actually the stage is even bigger? 

[Christian]

So Irving Azoff's gone 

edit: i read it again and it says "in addition to...", so i guess not.

Classic Axl! But still confusing...

[gnrjanus]

to me it seems they are getting more people involved in the management area.. and that it's just a mess right now
but I don't have knollage about that so I'm not going to help start spread rumours.

Yep. Could he be talking about certain magazines that gave CD a 4-star rating but now claim the album sucks??

We had recently began working with newer individuals in management in relation to our current Asian tour in support of our Guns N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy" in addition to Irving Azoff's though as it happens we are once again touring Asia without management of any kind.

As I understand it, Guns N' Roses were supposed to have a management team specifically for the tour (in addition to Irving Azoff which probably takes care of business back in the States). It's this specific group of people that fucked things up, not Azoff.

Just my understanding of this, I could be wrong of course.

[Fingers]

His problems with management have been going on since at least 2002 now (he said he was talked into touring)-I don't understand how this continues to be a problem for him-with the band's official page a couple years ago, he said manageent screwed up the online store I think, album promotion-I don't understand how this has not been corrected-and now postings on  Guns n Roses Facebook are not approved by him?

A press release denying a press release

Honestly Axl should just write his own releases (as in this case) all the time. I know he's busy but he can be pretty damn amusing compared to the usual boring fluff.

I do agree with this on the other hand..lol

So true.  Perhaps this was discussed in another thread and I missed it? but those a-holes at RS can suck it!

[TomFriend]

Which press statement is he denying having released?

All I've seen is the post on HTGTH and the GNR myspace about 'belligerent paparazzi'.

[Ulises]

That one.

[TomFriend]

That one.

Bizarre. So someone's releasing unauthorized news through GNR's myspace?

Will anyone really be surprised if we get a statement denying the release of this statement and confirming the original one? 

At least this one shows Axl's retained his sense of humor about the whole thing.

[wells]

I still fail to see where is press release on HTGTH news, MySpace or Facebook ..

The thing that you guys are talking about has nothing to do with press release.

It is called news or better to say social media release.

I love Axl's writing style   Somewhere between intelligent news commentary and an 8 year old child's sensibilities.
