GQ Interview Slash's Drug Escapism

"Slash has ruled out a reunion with his former bandmates"

Ha! Ha! Axl has ruled that possibility before him! That guy would say ANYTHING to save face. Hey, Slash, are you sure it wasn't 23409830249583409 billions of $?

he isn't saying Axl tried to get him back.. he is simply stating dollar amounts promoters etc have thrown around and he wouldn't do it.

A Reunion will never happen because Axl would never give up control of GNR which he shouldnt, and I can't see Slash and co working as employees.

This is like that situation with Weiland, you know, how Weiland bailed on them, but Slash said the band fired him first.

Slash is a clown.

before weiland anounced anything from the stage, Duff had down an interview with classic rock were he basically said they were gonna continue without him.
That wasnt published though until after the storm.

You are aware that Slash quit right?

It's a funny way of firing someone through an interview in a magazine without telling someone to his face.  You think someone who got fired would finish out those gigs?

NO.

And, about Slash quitting...you're talking about GN'R, right?  He was always going on about reunions until the Billboard article, which came out in 2009. 

Get your shit straight, homeboy.

He said, only if there was some kind of mutual respect and he doesn't see that happening

Slash has never begged for a reunion.

Showing up at the HOB on 1/1/01
Going to Axl's pad in 2005.

[D]

so u draw that he wanted a reunion out of going to see a show from his former band and going to visit someone and maybe trying to bury the hatchet?

I can pull the Axl board chat interviews where it makes it seem like it was Slash against a reunion the entire time if i really have to.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

"Makes it seem" isn't the same as actually showing up to a gig with guitar in hand, or showing up to someone's house and being completely denied.

You don't try and bury the hatchet with someone while suing them left and right.

[D]

so he showed up at the HOB with a guitar? or did someone see him in the hotel lobby with a guitar? I find that very very hard to believe that he would show up to the HOB with a guitar.

the lawsuits none of us know about. thats business. He wasn't getting his checks, and if someone won't communicate with u, suing is the only way to get answers. wasn't like he was trying to bankrupt him. just trying to get what was rightfully his.

2007: "The original Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots need to reunite." - Slash.

This part is pretty rich too :

Slash wants Velvet Revolver to stop playing songs by Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots

He wasn't getting his checks, and if someone won't communicate with u, suing is the only way to get answers.

Or he could have picked up the phone like a normal, rational human being.

"I'm not saying never," he said. "You know, I was saying it would be a good idea to get, just for a couple of shows, to get the original STP and the original Guns N' Roses just to do a couple of shows for the fun of it."

I think there have been times when Slash has wanted to 'bury the hatchet' or entertained the idea of reuniting with Axl and the other old members but I don't think he's ever been desperate to do it. He's said himself that he and Axl just couldn't work together any more.

[D]

still though, if u were in one of the biggest bands of all time, the thought to do a few shows again wouldn't cross your mind? Sure they had creative differences etc, but it isn't like they got into fist fights or completely hated each other.

So after getting clean etc, maybe a few shows sounded great but now time has passed and he heard what Axl had to say, maybe now he has finally accepted it and maybe the cancer thing hurt his feelings enough where now he no longer has a desire to even do that.

Slash has never begged for a reunion.

what about that night when he knocked Axl's door being under the influence, and cried like a little baby to Beta telling her Duff was spineless, that he hates Sorum and dont know how many other tasty things?

Slash needs the reunion ghost to be alive and circulating. It's all he has. Artistically, he's a corpse.

So that's why i found smart of him to talk about reunion from time to time.

To me, reunion can only mean robin

Right, and you think it's just a coincidence that from '96-2007 Slash publicly stated he'd never reunite no matter how much money was thrown at him only to conveniently change his mind once Scott's attention was drifting towards an STP reunion and the distintegration of VR was on the horizon.

Get real

[D]

people aren't allowed to change their minds?

[AxlsMainMan]

people aren't allowed to change their minds?

In the span of 11 years, his change of mind just randomly happened when the implosion of his band looked imminent?

[D]

yeah, its easy to not look deeper into that and just bash the guy

here is how i took it:

His whole problem in GNR *right or wrong, im not taking sides* but for Slash, he thought Axl was difficult to work with. My opinion, Axl only wants the highest quality of music and won't settle for anything less but if Slash thought Axl was difficult to work with, that is his perception of it.

anyhow, i think working with Scott, Slash started realizing, well fuck, if i have to work with someone difficult, at least Axl doesn't have a drug problem and is 100 times more talented.

so working with Scott, could have given Slash a greater appreciation for Axl.

Its like having the greatest wife in the world but sometimes u get that grass is greener on the otherside syndrome. Then its only after leaving your wife and playing the field u realize how great u really had it.

so thats my take on it or u can just say he is full of shit.. im not here to change your mind or argue who is right or wrong. just my take on it.
