Re: Slash Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter updates
Yeah...I think it works really well psychologiclly too...like as a fan you feel like you know him or connected to him. Like he's posted proper info about his performances but also fun stuff like a mobile fone pic of his guitars to a comment about his wife's tits...little things...but makes that connection to the fanbase.
I was also really pleased when Axl came online and did those chats. I think more stars should use this kind of technology...it connects with the fans but on the star's own terms...they can walk away from the pc...or ignore all the posts back at any stage...got to be better than having people screaming and yelling for you...or being interviewd where the interviwer can have their own agendas....and less repedative too....
It's good for fans too. I wouldnt have known slash played on the soundtrack to transformers 2 otherwise. So its win win!
Re: Slash Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter updates
Jeeze I think Slash is really into the whole online thing now. Heres more updates from facebook:

Re: Slash Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter updates
does anybody find this a little bit hypocritical...?
i'm referring to slash's constant ranting about how he will never do reality shows, with it being the lowest form of entertainment....but updating of your life status on facebook and twitter is kind of....a reality show in itself..??
anyone feel the same?

Re: Slash Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter updates
I think it's different...he thought that doing a reality show to find a rock singer is not authentic as part of the rock process...that's different to letting your fans know what you are up to.

Re: Slash Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter updates
you could be right...I just thought it usually came up in refrence to finding a new singer etc 
Re: Slash Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter updates
I don't see it as the same thing. Facebook is a way to reach out to the public and you get to pick and choose what you put on display for the world to see. With a reality show you are choosing to put your whole life on display. It's basically a form of tabloid entertainment because it's the drama that sells these shows.
Re: Slash Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter updates
He seems to genuinally enjoy twittering away and his fans lap it up, I cant see any reason for gripes. No dig at you Elmir at all, but in general its fucked up that some GN'R fans are morally outraged so easily in regards to Slash. Sometimes I find it rather comical.
