Re: Axl fires back at Irv with lawsuit
no he said he doesnt know what axl's legal position is in the lawsuit..hell even most of the media stories arent even saying what the lawsuit is all about really...they are just focusing on the Bill Bailey comments, i've no doubt that azoff is intentionally pushing those buttons to portray axl as a bit of a loose cannon... not that he isnt mind you but azoff is playing off that public perception
Re: Axl fires back at Irv with lawsuit
Slash should've kept his mouth shut. He doesn't even have a clue what's going on, backs Irving, yet has never won a case successfully against Axl on anything, and even accused Axl of stealing royalites over a clerical error by ASCAP... and Slash wants to know why Axl considers him a cancer, and never wants to have anything to do with him ever again?
I don't blame him
What happened to Andy Gould? Does he get a pass on all this?
Gould was a puppet for Azoff. He was never directly involved except for assistance. Even when he was asked about Axl & CD on the street, he stumbled about and robotically rambled a prepared statement. It was obvious he was not "in the know" at all, and desperately wanted out of that conversation.
In other words - Gould = Azoff.

Re: Axl fires back at Irv with lawsuit
I wouldn't say Slash really chose a side, I don't really think Slash cares at all..
Re: Axl fires back at Irv with lawsuit
Nah, this situation is too hot for Slash to open his mouth.
He's not Nikki Sixx. Nikki can say something, walk away, no biggie.
Why would Slash say ANYTHING that might be misconstrued or ANOTHER "let's open up an old can of worms"?
Slash should've just played dumb, and/or said 'no comment'.

Re: Axl fires back at Irv with lawsuit
You are assuming Axl is right in all of this... Lets let a judge decide? lol I know, it was a crazy idea on a gnr forum.
I personally think he is playing that whole Bailey 'oh I`m so hurt' bullshit very strategically.. sorry dude, you are 50 nearly, get over it. We all had shit happen.
Re: Axl fires back at Irv with lawsuit
Nobody is assuming anything. I think Axl's allegations are very hard to prove. But, we have no idea what cards Axl or Irving have in their pocket. It is an interesting conflict...to me at least. Axl definitely took a simple case of management commissions and turned it in to a pretty big deal for all artists in general. The allegations of "monopoly" on the industry are felt by every band. Unfortunately, I don't think this is in the right venue to address that issue legally. It probably should be in US District Court (Federal Ct instead of State Ct).

I agree. In a way, Slash DID say "no comment", but in another way he said a lot more than that. To say he understands Azoff's case but doesn't know where Axl is coming from doesn't make much sense to me. It seems pretty obvious to anyone, even if they don't know the details, that Axl doesn't agree with Azoff thus the need for a countersuit. So obviously he feels Azoff doesn't deserve any commissions. Is that so hard to understand?
I'm willing to give Slash a pass though because his answer may have been taken out of context. You never know with these off the cuff interviews. But that answer doesn't jive with me.
