BETWEEN SELECTED LINES

[jplpool]

this post consists of several different excerpts
"The most well known figure that considered working with us was Paul Stanley of Kiss,who was looking for the right band to lunch a side gig with. Izzy,duff and I couldn't of cared less"

" 'first things first' he said 'I wanna rewrite jungle'  According to Paul, the song had rel potential, but it lacked an impactful structure. What it needed was a chorus that was more memorable,more sins song, more anthemic- in a word, more like a kiss song.
'ugh' i grunted, as far as I was concerned that was the end of our relationship"

"AT VH1's rock honors show, where I was part of a tribute to Kiss"

UUGGH ????? A TRIBUTE TO KISS? sounds to me like he fuckin hated them, so what was all that about then? was it just self promotion?

"It was such a spot for us(the Cathouse) that Axl even went,which always brought us added attention"

So Axl brought added attention,this was just a club in L.A and slash is referring to a period of time before appetite had even been released, is this confirmation that the belief many fans have,that without Axl Slash would not be half as famous?

Er...no. He's saying people always want to speak to the lead singer. If the lead singer for Guns n' Roses was wee jock poopong Mc Plop, the man who cleans out the septic tanks in Aberdeen, he would still have brought extra attention. Honestly dude, just give it a rest. Those people who choose one side over the other in the great Axl vs. Slash debate are cheating themselves.

somehow i dont think so, mr mcplop whatever,every1 knows that all great frontmen have charisma and pulling power.And to try saying otherwise is a nonsense
as for "cheating myself" I'm not taking any side I'm just raising some points, i like velvet revolver (a bit) i love old gnr and I love new gnr.
like many i dont know the truth about what happened in gnr,and regardless of whoever is to blame, I would not stop listening to that persons music.and dont tell me to give it a rest u dont have 2 read this

"I'd say the subject of firing Axl  came up 6 times, very seriously in the life cycle of the band. *Izzy and I were in the middle of really STRATEGIZING how to do it when Axl showed up"

*1987

Fair enough, so long as you aren't choosing to hate someone's music based on a perceived personality. On you go, I won't stop you.

not that I'm finished yet,but the likeliness is, that, they were all to blame,I'm just taking a good hard look at slash and questioning his holier than thou appearance to the mass media

[jplpool]

starting in reference to a Nikki Sixx overdose

"But the fact it had happened in my apartment was reason enough for the powers that be to punish me by exiling me, Sally and Steven from hollywood to a holiday inn down in Hermosa Beach "

"Every day that i spent in Hermosa Beach I was one day closer to exploding. The guitar parts on Lies took me exactly two days, if anything, I was so exited to be back in L.A , that I ripped through them too quickly-I wish it had all taken longer"

hmmm is this Slash admitting that there was maybe times when the partying became more important than the music?

[jplpool]

"The combination of booze and pills had really kicked in. I'd slept maybe an hour on the plane,so basically I was the walking dead. We got up there unannounced and all things considered it was a pretty good night. The only problem was the dreaded moment when we had to play 'sweet child o' mine'. It took me ten minutes to get those first eight notes together. I'd start and stop and start and stop until finally I figured it out. It was embarrassing but funny at the same time"

sometime early 1988

"Axl could always take a simple izzy melody and turn it into something fantastic" (mr brownstone)

i don't think that slash was complaining that axl would take something simple that izzy made up and turn it into something amazing, he was praising axl.

Really? so it was o.k for axl to make major decisions on guns sound even before appetite was released?

from that qoute i don't think axl was making major decisions on the band, all he was doing was taking a simple melody and taking it to the next level, taking it one step closer to becoming a completed song.

[brian carroll]

but at that point (appetite just been released) wasn't slash happy with what was happening to the band.
