Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
'Axl Rose, the leader and founder of Guns n Roses, told me in January that he wouldn’t go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. I didn’t believe him. He told me he hated Slash, the famed guitarist who co founded the band with him, and refused to attend. He told me, everyone who would listen, including Steven Tyler. We were at a pre-Golden Globe party. I’d never met Axl before. He was accessible and fun. But he was obsessed with Slash, claimed that he’d interfered with Axl’s creativity and taken control of the band.'
Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
Axl isn't doing this for any noble cause. He's simply doing it cause he hates Slash and wants new Guns inducted. That's what it boiled down to. If new Guns was being inducted Ax would be all over this and everyone knows it. If new Guns was being inducted the $3000/plate would not have be an issue whatsoever. Dizzy would pay it in a heartbeat.
Shocking to read that Axl was obsessed over Slash. Who knew

Do I have to say what was wrong with that article and it's writer?
Plus, I'll never forgive you for making me go to forbes.

"Life doesn't owe you your own personal happy ending especially at another's, or in this case several others', expense"
You know, I'll give up on all this talk, but one final thought.. Can anyone not interpret the above Axl Rose statement as:
"So what about what the fans would want to see. I don't care, not my concern. I'm not going to go anywhere near the old band."

Figured I'd just post the whole article here now:

The list doesn't relate because people aren't necesarily upset THAT Axl isn't showing up... they are upset at the reason WHY?? It's Qualitative rather than Quantitative. The Jerry Garcia & Sex Pistols, Grace Slick etc I respect their decision. I don't thinK I agree with it because I think the fans WOULD rather see them reunite or play the induction, but I respect their reasoning why. And sheez, a fucking earthquake prevented Rod Stewart from going!! Apples & Oranges. So a few kinda relate, Diana Ross, VH, Genesis & Floyd. But I don't think any bailed out a few days before it took place with some angry, self centered rant?! From day 1 they all pretty much just said thanks but no thanks. Plus the actual place didn't open until 1995, so prior ones were just events with no actual Hall Of Fame building.

This.
My post looks like I was trying to say something different than I was, my bad.
I agree. There are two reasons:
A. Slash
B. Nu-GnR was not allowed to perform.
and possibly:
C. The HOF wouldn't provide Dizzy Reed with comp passes.
