Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
I think if a new guns album follows people will be happier about lack of a reunion. It's just hard when Axl says a reunion would take focus away from new guns when right now all that focus entails is live versions of Slash/Robin solos and riffs.
A new album with DJ would be fucking kickass.

Apart from Paul McCartney not showing up for The Beatles induction... Roger Waters never showed up at the Floyd one.
Here's some people that refused to show up to their original induction or refused. (Ignoring Sex Pistols/Van Halen 
)
David Bowie
Diana Ross
Neil Young
John Deacon
Peter Gabriel
Bjorn Ulvaeus/Agnetha Fältskog
With the exception of Bowie, all the rest were over arguments with former band mates.

Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
It's standard in a court case to argue things in the alternative.
So the reasoning would be:
Alternative 1: The document signing the rights to axl is void because the partnership had already been dissolved.
and then in the case that the court doesn't accept that - then whatever other alternative reasons it may be void - duress etc.
Anyway, of course they didn't claim it in court - as like I said - it doesn't meet the technical requirements of duress.
However that doesn't mean that they weren't otherwise manipulated into signing it for pragmatic purposes due to their own battles with substance abuse and a long standing (even then) pattern of volatile and abusive behaviour from Axl.
I hate to take sides in this kind of thing. Sick bit is I love Chinese Democracy, great album, I'm just saying the way Axl took control of the band is way uncool.
Duress, coersion, blackmail were their strongest arguments if the story they told the press was true. But there is no evidence that it was ever the truth.
They instead tried to dissolve Axl's share with a pathetic hand scribbled note.
I'm sorry, but you are grasping at straws here.
There was no claim in court that the name was signed under threat. It is a tired myth which has persisted in G&R.
Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
I just find it weird how u can hate a group of guys but yet go out and play songs written by said guys?
wouldn't performing those songs constantly remind u of those songs?
Would be like fucking your new GF while watching a porn featuring your ex wife.

Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
I say again.
Do you think Slash and Duff would have been given a civil conversation with Axl to discuss the royalty confusion? Who do you think answers that call?
This reminds me of temple of doom when people are under the black sleep of the kali...wake up
Either Axl did make deals on their behalf without asking them (It's so unlike Axl afterall to act like he was the old band
When he goes to a gig he's thrown out. When he goes to the house he gets to talk to beta only. Axl will not talk to slash. So how the fuck else was he going to resolve it? A lawsuit is sadly the only way to get their attention.
ASCAP distributes royalties. They should have started there.
Re: RRHoF Discussion (Izzy/Slash/Axl Press Statements)
On a personal real talk note:
I think we need to chill out on personal attacks etc.
This forum is great and has always been great cause everyone's opinion/point of view is welcome. If u disagree.. we have almost always politely/intelligently debated it.
I think we are taking this WAY too personal.
I,however, can't and won't apologize for what I said about Axl cause I honest to God felt disrespected as a fan and supporter. I felt he declining his invitation was a slap in MY face and the old band's face.
if he doesn't wanna perform, Fine
If he doesn't wanna show... Fine
but I just really felt angry,mad,hurt, and almost betrayed by that part.
Does that make me a psycho fucking idiot? perhaps
but I won't apologize for my raw emotion dripping on my posts on this topic.
