Guns n Roses: Critical Rehab

oh man i'm really torn between Axl being a huge, whining baby and someone actually finally giving something other than lip service to the "fuck the Hall of Fame" thing. not that is a huge snub or w/e, but still an Axl-less GnR exhibit will be really lol.

So basically Axl says he isn't trying to tell the R'n'RHoF what to do, but really he's trying to tell the R'n'RHoF what to do.
Or in other words, passive aggressive Axl is passive aggressive.

xp it's like someone finally took a stand against environmental pollution, but unfortunately it was Hitler.

lol snoball

Axl's camp.

once again, axl makes it all about axl.

xp He's quite twee nowadays as well.

crossing my fingers so hard for the induction of everybody in gnr except axl

please please please please please

I'll be summering at Camp Axl. Let y'all know what the canoeing is like.

So if I'm reading this correctly, he's taking himself out of the HoF discussion because they wanted to include band members that Axl didn't want included.

Is that the implication or am I imagining it?

That's exactly what Axl is saying.

With a side order of...

ie Slash, no?

yeah, that's exactly the implication. he figures inducting izzy and duff should be "enough" of a nod to the past, if such is required, but he refuses to participate if they're gonna induct slash & steve. fuckhead.

Basically Slash, yes. Although I'm pretty sure Axl doesn't want Buckethead there either.

I hope that Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson, Frank Ferrer, Richard Fortus, Chris Pitman, Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and DJ Ashba all appreciate what axl is doing for them.

They will. Until he fires each one of them.

Bumblefoot can be very appreciative when he wants to be

He's been pulling this shit for long enough for me to just roll my eyes and go, ugh whatever dude.

But it still just irritates the shit out of me. Does he really think that anyone's buying his new albums off the 'awesomeness' of what he's done SINCE Slash and Duff and Izzy and Steve left the band? That everyone who buys his new garbage isn't hoping that he's suddenly not crazy and doesn't suck anymore, LIKE HE USED TO NOT SUCK?

again, I shouldn't even bother but seriously, fuck him in the eye. Douchecanoe.

SAVE TOMMY STINSON

lol 'albums'

would be rad if the post-induction jam was just Steven Adler and DJ Ashba.

judging by his stint on celebrity rehab, not sure adler could even play drums anymore :(

kinda feeling axl on this one

i refuse to accept that

so what is the argument in favor of his stance, out of curiosity? not trolling, genuinely asking.

i'm not really in favor of his reasoning, because i think it would be just as stupid to leave Slash and the other guys out of the induction ceremony, but i'm all for a reasonably big name shrugging off induction in a stupid institution anyway

I predict a similar letter next year from Courtney regarding Nirvana's induction.

oh okay, I wasn't thinking about the whole HoF is nonsense who cares kinda angle. Fair enough.

but it's not an "i don't care about the HOF" stance. it's a "fuck you, slash, i'm bigger than any of this" stance. nothing admirable about it on any level.

I don't think he's saying "induct izzy and duff, fuck slash" at all - he seems to be saying that he'd be happy to be inducted if they included EVERYONE who's been in G'n'R from Live Like A Sucide up until the present day.

The line about Izzy and Duff refers to peoples' wishes for an Appetite-era reunion at the RNRHOF ceremony or whatever - he's saying that's never going to happen, but ppl who actually come out to GnR gigs are welcome to be delighted if any past members ever get up and guest, and he is equally going to be happy if those two ever do, and doesn't really expect anyone else would.

if Axl had actually gone it'd be a zoo -- at least now the other guys can go and have a really fun night together, hopefully get a good guest singer onstage for the jam session.

hopefully get a good guest singer onstage for the jam session.

have you ever considered writing horror stories

oh look it's the guy who started this thread and its stupid premise nobody agrees with

I love that Axl uses the phrase "don't get it twisted."

great post

Dude, I bought a Black 'n' Blue and a Badlands album based on thinking somehow I could trust your critical opinion about Guns 'n' Roses.

lol I would still rep for the Badlands album over Appetite but I'd be more inclined to say "this is my personal issue" now

I don't think he's saying "induct izzy and duff, fuck slash" at all - he seems to be saying that he'd be happy to be inducted if they included EVERYONE who's been in G'n'R from Live Like A Sucide up until the present day.

would love to see almost anybody front gnr @ the hall of fame show. scott weiland, alanis morissette, morley safer, anybody. mostly just so i could imagine axl losing his shit about it.

Lil B, Karen O, Jay-Z, Death Grips, anyone.

Get David Lee Roth in there.

would pay to see that. or death grips.
