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.
― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 21:48 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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 think the guys Axl didn't want to see inducted are more likely to be Adler and Sorum than Slash. But this is all about Axl not wanting to deal with the pressure of the situation, not whom they are or aren't inducting.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 April 2012 06:57 (twelve years ago) link
Basically Slash, yes. Although I'm pretty sure Axl doesn't want Buckethead there either.

Nah, he loves Buckethead and begged him to come back to the band over and over. He did screw him out of writing credit for a song on Chinese Democracy though.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 April 2012 06:58 (twelve years ago) link
I guess it just stuck out to me that Axl seemed to not want to name Slash in that letter like he's Voldemort or something...seemed like a lot of fancy footwork to not say his name, yknow?
