Re: Are they crazy ?
It is wierd for them to be upset about Slash so many years on. But then i guess theres a personal level to it as well - like Axl and Slash were friends as well as co-workers, and when friendships fall appart it can stick to you.
If thats the case, why hasn't Slash bitched about Axl for 12 years? Because he moved on.
If Axl/GNR weren't obsessed with him, he wouldn't come up constantly.
Its never the time for any CD news, but its always the time for Slash mentions?
At least we know the captain of this ship is steering it correctly.:haha:
Re: Are they crazy ?
Axl having his lawyer claim an incident that can never be proven. This accusation was so lame, they had to send out 2 press releases. One without the Slash shit to society, and one with the Slash shit to GNR communities.
Almost every interview in the CD era.
Beta's constant posts, PMs, and now phone calls about Slash.
The resurrection of the Slash incident after March 6th when the next thing we were supposed to hear was some sort of CD update. What does Slash have to do with Chinese Democracy?
Dizzy's lame interview in 05(although this interview was fishy).
That Alan Niven statement in early 06.
There have been fewer Chinese Democracy mentions by GNR or people associated with GNR than there have been about Slash.
Re: Are they crazy ?
^ Then again you can say Slash has commented on "Chinese Democracy" more than anyone else in the band....

Thats the truth. Which is pretty pathetic. However, he gets baited into those questions. Never brings it up on his own. World War III could be happening, and someone from the GNR camp would yell Slash from the highest mountaintop.
I just wish they could get their priorities straight. The music is too good to throw that away and waste time on small fish.

And to top it off, Slash has ALWAYS made it clear that he is proud of what he accomplished in GNR wheras Axl want's to "bury" AFD, yet tries to milk the shit out of those songs with different guys to this day.

Re: Are they crazy ?
This is all bullshit IMO. I bet the guy is more normal than what we think and all that bullshit is just that, bullshit.
Re: Are they crazy ?
I've accepted the fact the "milking" of AFD will never stop, regardless of any lineup changes now or in the future. Its too late for Axl's vision(if he ever even had one) to come to fruition and establish two entirely separate entities of GNR. If he was going to do that, it would've had to be done back in the late 90's when the new GNR era started.
Had there been a real plan, and that plan actually been put into action and not just talk, new GNR would already have 3 or 4 albums in its discography, and not only would not need to rely on 87-93 material, but would in essence be its own band. The public would have totally bought into Axl's vision, and the old band would be a footnote. A large one, but the band could have easily existed on its own merit.
The best we can hope for now is some sort of middle ground. The album needs to come out, for several reasons. To satisfy the hardcore base that has been loyal and stood by him for years, to get the monkey off his back, to let these songs have a chance to be heard by the masses, and to show the world that he did have some sort of vision and the disintegration of the old band wasn't for nothing.
Then of course when they tour, you will still get the hits package. Difference being that with an album in stores and GNR actually being in the spotlight, interest in these tours by hardcore and casual fans will increase, regardless of what is being played.
