Ex G N' R manager blames Slash and Axl Rose’s feud on Michael Jackson

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

Jackson is a pedophile.

Jackson is a pedophile.

Not in the present tense

I guess not 

Its amazing what rich black folk get away with (MJ, OJ, Cosby) while poor folk be getting abused by cops.  Goes to show, it don't matter what color you are, it only matters how much money you got.  Sorry, realize this is way off topic!

EVH didn't play for 1 million dollars in Beat It. He played for free. And MJ was accused in 1993, not 1991.

Jackson is a pedophile.

Whole hell of a lot of troubling stuff on that front.

Very hard for a lifelong fan to deal with.

Too much smoke...

I like the songs too... but I had stopped supporting him in any way a long time ago.

Doug Goldstein is obviously delusional... there is only one person on the face of the earth who could mend these fences... and his name is Axl.

I would also imagine that Slash wants nothing to do with Goldstein as well considering how things went down.

As always, other artist discussions have their own section. Thanks.  


Anyway, which makes a batter headline: "Disagreements about many things lead band members to go separate ways" or "Troubled superstar X is to blame for break up of band Z and its members A & B"....

I was surprised this lasted in this section as long as it had... no issue by me...

Obviously the whole story is a cheap headline grab.

Agreed all around.

And yeah, I doubt Slash is all that high on Doug.  I'm sure he read this with eyes rolling like the rest of us.

The Jackson angle is new.  That's why its a headline.  Its likely ridiculous, as we all have said, but that's why it news.

"Axl Rose Still Mad At Slash Over...Something, Apparently" is not much of a headline because its not exactly a new story.

[jarmo]

A person who is loyal and honest is lied about in order to make the other person look good. That's nothing, playing with Michael Jackson is way more important.....

I'm still curious about what Axl wants Slash to apologize to.

You, and the rest of the planet.  I imagine we will all go to our graves without an answer.

I have never heard a legitimate reason given yet. Axl's hatred seems disproportionate somehow.

[jarmo]

Wait, being lied about and made the "bad guy" who's solely responsible for the break up of the old band isn't a legitimate reason?

You don't think Axl has any reasons for his feelings because you think it's all his fault. Simple.

How is Slash 'solely responsible for the break up' when Axl created a legal power grab and now owns the name, today?

'Lied about'?. Well Axl has claimed there have been lies by Slash - certainly. This is all to do with, whether you believe Axl Rose (or not). I don't.

[Sickthings3]

I don't think Axl wants Slash to apologize. Didn't Slash go to his house to apologize? I think Axl is just smart and when he's burned/hurt by someone and loses trust, that's it. No point in working with or trusting that person again. What the reason is, we all have our theories, and like someone pointed out, it all depends on who you believe. Me personally, some nobody, I believe Axl Rose. Too many people have talked about how Axl is truthful, straight shooter, and all that jazz. Whereas Slash has been caught in at least one lie that I can think of, but I thought there may have more. But hey, it's cool to villianize Axl Rose, it's all we heard about for almost two decades. All he needs to do now is curl his mustache so he has the stereotypical bad guy mustache and bring back that evil laugh in Better and all is good in the world!

Don't think Axl is a liar at all... Although, very naive to think making Slash and Duff employees in his version of GNR was a good idea... It was the worst idea of all time. Good idea financially.... BAD idea if he wanted them to continue... which he has stated that he did want.

No, I said lied to make it seem like Axl is to blame.

How would you feel if one of your co-workers told everybody around you all kinds of stories about you that aren't true. You'd be ecstatic?

whether you believe Axl Rose (or not). I don't.

Surprise!

Yet another reason why I don't get your existence here.

Well see Slash's side of things for a change. How would you like it if you as a band member are suddenly forced to write and play with a guy, with whom you had no hand in his selection, and who you don't particularly credit musically nor like personally? This is what  happened with Slash with Tobias. How would you feel if you keep showing up to sessions but the lead singer, who is leading the musical direction of the sessions, does not show and you are left sitting with a load of unused expensive equipment twiddling your thumbs?
