Guns is now managed by Doc McGhee

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Downside is we probably don't get the GNR - Van Halen tour.  I'd give up an appendage to see that!

[Chief]

I thought the Van Halen thing was over a long time ago....

this is very interesting though.. good to see an Axl post!

[Caro_Salinas]

I really love the way Axl's use twitter. I mean as a blog or something  like that. Love the way he cares for his fans and explain every stupid rumor. He seems happy than ever!! I'm glad I'm gonna see him not just in Chile (my country) but Argentina too... can,t wait!!!

So Azoff's gone?

Azoff is gone.

When Merck was dismissed, there was an explanation as to what happened.  Will there be any comment as to what transpired with Azoff?  Just curious.

Ali

I'm a little curious myself.  Axl didn't seem to happy in Asia with the business side of things, eg. touring without management.  Wonder what went down.

Personnally, I don't give a shit.  I just want my favorite band to tour and be happy at what they do best!

It doesn't mean that much in the grand scheme of things.  But, I'm just curious being as though Axl commented when Merck was dismissed.  Will we get any comment this time?

In regards to the tweet from Axl "On Tuesday 16th February 2010, @axlrose"


Once again I really must say congratulations to Mr. Rose for refusing to engage in the negativity and libelous, slanderous rubbish that is constantly and consistently trotted out by so called "media", so called "fans" and parasites in general.

Bravo and WELL DONE (very well done!), Mr. Rose!!!

It never ceases to amaze me how some people so easily revert to pure mendacity -- with utterly no compunction!

In fact, it seems that this same group of "misery loves company" defamers are always waiting in the wing, salivating on Pavlovian cue,
ready to pounce and say or do just about anything to instigate trouble or negativity with Axl and Guns N' Roses (no matter how ludicrous and patently false).

Mr. Rose, you and the GN'R family are class acts. You continually show by example that you will not engage and sink to the levels of these pathetic cowards. Well done!!!!!

[richwoman]

[thomas]

gotta love axl good job attacking the press axl

[StardustGirl]

That marathon of a tweet really contained a mountain of information. However, as usual, Axl expects you to have a certain amount of background information which leaves the reader at a loss if they do not have that. For my part the stone cold dead bit left me wondering. Can anyone explain that a bit more? I'm also curious who was injured in Toronto... As for our Doc character, the guy has been boiled in so many brews that he should be fit to manage his new job. If he can't do it, I wonder if anybody can.

But the best part was to get yet another confirmation as to how much fun the band has and how they actually like each other and what they are doing. That makes at least two band members publicly showing their love  - hope it's mutual for all of them and that this line up will stick together and not just perform but also write music together. I have great faith in their abilities and feel both excited and even a bit scared thinking what they might come up with. It almost feels like there is some magic involved, you can sense that something special is going on even just looking at the pictures, not to mention all the footage.

I don't get the thing with Todd Crew. Who he says killed him?

[jacdaniel]

Some people think Axl is referring to the Slash/Todd Crew Thing. (im not so sure)

Todd Crew overdosed on drugs while with Slash.

Can't see how Slash killed him though, unless he lied in his book and in reality, he strapped Todd down and injected drugs into him. 

Anyone who overdoses on drugs does it on their own accord.

[estebanf]

I wonder if the departure of Azoff and the CD re-release are related in some way. I mean, it looks like the CD re-release could have been the first McGhee big move with the band.

How bout some gnr lunchboxes or bumblefoot

I think he means the big companies (TMZ etc) backing the journalist (boy) in order to print the statements.

I don't think so. It could be related that Azoff's contract has the same timeline that the Best Buy deal

I quite forgot that incident. Agreed that one is responsible for one's own actions but I remember thinking while I read the account in the book that perhaps acquiring proper medical care would have made a difference to the outcome, so in a sense everybody who was present, S. included, is to a degree accountable.

[wells]

I don't see 'other members' and 'killed' in the same sentence or even paragraph anywhere, especially I don't see Todd Crew mentioned anywhere, so don't make up things that are not written ..

why do people assume he`s always talking about slash it was written in the context of the journalists also why dissect every word he writes as if there's a secret meaning behind them Axls pretty honest if he has something to say he wouldn`t do it in a coded term he`d say it  loud and clear stop raking up the past enjoy the now
