And CD II?
Axl knows its only going to fly with Slash and the rest of the guys all over it. People want the reunion more than his music.
#42 Re: Guns N' Roses » Cat out of the bag? » 501 weeks ago
I interpret it as them merely taking the piss and as a fan I find this amateur hour, Scooby Doo mystery crap still going on in 2015 to be patently absurd.
If you think CD II is on the launch pad, you can "read between the lines". If you think a reunion is on the way, same thing.
That is intentional.
Whatever is going to happen, even if its nothing, I wish they would get proper management.
I absolutely agree. Those tweets are more petulant, childish amateur bollocks.
Professional business people with a duty to marketing their product on social media correctly do not go on like this.
By all means Axl can throw his dollies, he is the artist and his wacky persona is as much a part of the story as the music but management...?
They are very much little picture people, arguing on forums with small communities of diehard fans etc. Can anyone imagine real managers like Paul McGuinness or Peter Mensch wasting their time on such activities?
Cloak and Dagger my cock..I agree with you James..its completely pathetically redundant at this stage and a sign that these people don't have the intellectual horsepower to deliver anything more grown up.

Nice to be back and see some of the old guard re-emerge.

Cantrell was more Slash's interest than Axl's.
#45 Re: Guns N' Roses » sp1at thread » 539 weeks ago
If I was Axl's manager I'd get him training and recording with Duff, writing songs quickly with Jerry Cantrell and Izzy while putting out online only pay-walled albums like Radiohead do.
Get some art students to make videos for cheap and put them out there to see can you get shit to stick.
Play some great, stripped down gigs in cool festivals. Be humble but blow people away live.
Leave the "Spruce Goose" that is the GNR legacy behind for a year or two for the first time in a lifetime....it might bring perspective and a new lease of life.
#46 Re: Guns N' Roses » "Like family members who were dead." » 539 weeks ago
I agree with all of what you say Axlin, its what keeps me fascinated with the man also. However the cabaret gigs in Vegas throw a big spanner into the myth for me as does his rent a family entourage..
Axl should be like Springsteen is now, older, fit as a fucking army cat and able to fill a huge venue anywhere in the world just by showing up. Instead we have an absolute fucking rock legend mincing around stage playing to middle-aged couples in Hawaiian shirts who see him as part of corporate entertainment product called "the Strip Experience" rather than an experience within itself.
#47 Re: Guns N' Roses » False - Axl to Join Slash on Brazil Dates » 539 weeks ago
^ A divorce might put some pressure on you financially.
I think Slash has tried and failed to close the gap and has moved on. From his recent interviews I believe that after the RNRHOF opportunity was rejected by Axl he has closed that book for good.. i.e. he knows its just not an option.
#48 Re: Guns N' Roses » The enigmatic Beavan album ('98-00) » 539 weeks ago
I agree there was never a vault, and it took me time to believe that, but in hind-sight I don't think that was ever the intention. Music artists, as i've seen, have a tendency to refer to songs from licks, riffs, piano diddies, and pushing them to the side to finish later.
Axl, as well as the band, could've very well had several bare bones ideas for some 70+ songs or so. But times change. Styles change. Opinions change. They could've worked up 70 songs, and scratched half of them as "going nowhere" or "not fitting" or "not interested anymore". And moving on.
Absolutely true, in fact Slash confirmed it when he stated that Axl often referred to a riff he'd ahve submitted as a song whereas Slash saw it as nothing more than what it was - a riff.
#49 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Beneath the Savage Sun - Greatest Slash Metal Moment EVER!!! » 559 weeks ago
Yes! Smoking Guns, that's what I was talking about. Goddamn do I love this. I want a solo instrumental album like this.
And yeah, I see what you're saying Beneath the Savage Sun is probably the metal-est he's ever been.
In total and complete agreement.

Was Gilby out of it on drugs or just misfiring with the band on a musical level - I can'rt work out what exactly he's saying here.
It would be a new one for me to hear that Gilby fell under the substance wagon....
