GN?R Reps Confirm Ron ?Bumblefoot? Thal Has Left The Band

[FunkyMonkey]

I know the word they used, I asked if you saw the words nanny or housekeeper?

What I'm saying is, they used it as a point of reference.  It doesn't matter if they said assistant or nanny.

[jarmo]

It kinda does matter...

Emily, Beta was Stephanie's nanny, right?  And she is now GN'R' manager?

What did you do 20+ years ago?

The way these people post about it, is like there's no history or work involved. Beta wasn't babysitting one day and the next she was managing GN'R.
It's disrespectful.



/jarmo

It?s not disrespectful?it?s an incredible success story, and factually correct.  Your interpretation that it?s disrespectful is interesting?try not to be so negative. 

Post of the year.

The good thing about all this is that they clarify

Again, it's just used as a point of reference.  In Rolling Stone:

Beta, who formerly worked as a nanny for Seymour, taking care of her son Dylan, doubles as chauffeur. She also travels with Axl; it was she by his side during the contretemps at the Phoenix airport in '98.

One of those words were used in this thread and is what caused the discussion.

I'm confused.  Are you saying she wasn't a nanny or housekeeper??? The RS article also refers to her as Axl's housekeeper...not sure why that is so offensive to you.

[mortismurphy]

A lot of things cause offense here. Jarmo is very thin skinned about Axl and the new gnr set-up. Saying gnr sold 90% of a venue out will cause a sixty page argument. And do not ever under pain of death use the word 'riotous'.

Jarmo is absolutely hypersensitive and is more band advocate than basic fan.

But do some of you seriously not see his point here?  The use of the terms "nanny" or "housekeeper" are NEVER used as anything but a diss.

That's what you get for hiring a nanny to run your band.

She was his housekeeper.  What does she know about managing a band?

That's it.  Those are the contexts that its used, and its never complimentary.

Wow DX in the midst of a face turn.

Damn D-X...you're a suit now?  (I kid, I kid).

I agree, in the context as you described it, it's a put down.  But in the context of how it was described in the RS article (and how it was originally described on the last page), I do not see such an apparent negative connotation.

Agree- it is never complimentary, here is the post that triggered this discussion-

How is that anything but disrespectful? It's very clear what is intended there by that troll.

[jarmo]

I did not comment on the LA Times or RS articles. I commented because a poster here used the word nanny followed by this:   smiley.

Then after I commented on it, people start posting OTHER articles using those terms to prove that I'm wrong.
I'll give credit for D-X here, he got the point while others were hell bent on proving me wrong.
 
As D-X pointed out, the terms used by certain fans aren't used in any other way than to be disrespectful and/or provoking.

Am I hypersensitive? Right.

Yes you did.

Do you see the words nanny or housekeeper in that quote?

I posted the LA Times article in response to what Ginger King said.

You're the one who said to me the article didn't say nanny or housekeeper.  So I posted one that did.

I am sure you're correct. The problem I have is that I do not find I have the energy or inclination to leap to their defense. They certainly give as good as they get.

Wow, never thought I'd see the day where Jarmo started a sentence with the words "As DX pointed out".

Am I at the right board?

Originally I did not post anything about it due to any article. That was your way of defending the post, which I found disrespectful.

Well, he's still wrong about most things....

In the context of THIS post, it was disrespectful- THIS is what is being discussed, not various and asundry articles you are bringing in, for whatever reason.
