nawwww Axl's ego is way too big


Posted by mustangonfire@yahoo.com:
Does anyone think they may calm down in the future and do a reunion gig??


Posted by iamsocool:
its too bad those two cant work something out where they both would stay in gnr. All of them lawsuits kinda poisoned that chance, though


Posted by Slasher1085:
You can't deny it, Slash is awesome whatever band he's playing in, but not as awesome as he was in guns. grant it, axl did good too but anyone could scream and sway on a microphone for half the gnr songs. 


Posted by gnracdc:
I think that the new "guns n roses" cannot even compare anything that they have done before. It's not that I'm a diehard axl fan or a diehard slash fan...i'm just a gnr fan. axl and slash are both kick ass awesome together but guns will never be the same w/o slasher! come on people, axl and slash were GNR. axl can't do it alone, i won't even listen to the new stuff.


Posted by Ian:
Bottom line is AXL and Slash were "GNR". Without them both in the band then it just ain't the same. Sure the other members seemed like family to us huge GNR Fans but AXL and Slash were the epitome of GNR. To myself and many other fans as of right now there is no Guns N Roses. The band is dead even though AXL is trying to make it work. He should have changed the name. 


Posted by metallica7:
yeah but its a 2 way street... if it wasnt for the rest of the "orginal" bandmates putting the words to music... Axl would in a sense be just another dime a dozen vocalist 


Posted by iamsocool:
the problem with gnr is either you love em or ya dont. no in between As for me, i truely think Axl was the musical genius of gnr. slash was god, but replaceable. hard to replace, but replaceable. When people think of November Rain, thought doesnt usually come to the 3 some guitar solos in it. The Solos are nice, but what Axl did with the other parts is fantastic And Axl was unique. No one will be able to put that tap on his vocals like he can


Posted by metallica7:
heh heh yeah... or the artist formerly known as Axl... 


Posted by Now Thats Funny:
This just in... Axl is changing his current band name Guns And Roses, he now wishes to be refered to as Bums And Poses ! 


Posted by Axl Godoy:
I'm a Guns generation son, and I can say that Guns n' roses won't be ever the old Guns n' roses 'cause slash and Axl aren't together 


Posted by BunnyChaser02:
Had to recomment after further reading. The original Guns was Axl, Slash, and Izzy. When Izzy left, the band was never the same so all this talk about Axl and Slash just misses a vital point. Oh yeah Duff is pretty cool too. 


Posted by BUNNYCHASER02:
Guns disintegration was a natural product of ever dwindling musical interests and egotism. My money's on Axl coming out with a really killer industrial/techno/rock record. I miss the old Guns lineup, but it's gone. Dead. Looking forward to hear from Izzy again(hopefully) 


Posted by P.c:
Slash's solos are great , he is one of the best in it.I,m going crazy while his solos. But with all the respect to him Axl is f*ckin better .Here almost everybody talking sh*t about Axl, but he is much more talanted then Slash . Don,t forget ,he was the voice of the gn'r, he wrote a music , he wrote all the words-- he is a genius and his voice is something special ,he made gn's special, of course Slash had a big part in GN's ,BUT AXL WAS AND IS THE FACE OF GUNSES , NO MATTER WHAT EVERYBODY SAY. He always was in the center of gunses not because ne was selfish , it was because is the most talantedThis new Slash's guy is a small sucker, HE WILL NEVER BE LIKE AXL.

F+++ alfronzo mikishi!!! Come to a old roses gig in germany on 07/09/01 in Wolfrtatshausen in germany. Check out www.ticallion.de. Peace


Posted by alfronzo mikishi:
i think my band is better than slash because slash sucks and my band JESTERS KAP is going to go on tour soon so slash sucks


Posted by Jo:
I think people should stop comparing Slash and Axl, they are two completely different but both talented artists. they both rock.


Posted by gunner:
guns n roses are my f&$in favorite band with aerosmith, i thing the new guns n roses should bw axls roses not guns n roses. i thing axl look very stupid without slash


Posted by Musk:
Neither band will ever be as big as the Guns phenomenem.The individual musical talents and ideas that the family had will never be reproduced by Slash or Axl whilst they play with other musicians.Good luck to both with forth coming tours and to the forgotten men of Guns whose music still gives millions of fans world wide the same pleasure it did ten years ago!


Posted by Docer:
Slashs Snakepit are equally as good as Guns plus the man slash still has the guitar moves!


Posted by LINX:
SLASH IS THE BEST


Posted by BUMS AND POSES:
I dont know which is worse...Axls big ego or his big mouth


Posted by FAT JESUS:
GUNS N ROSES IS THE GREATEST ROCK BAND OF MY TIME and it was all because of Axl, Axl is a f@cking god and his new band is better musically then the old GNR but the only problem is its not the old GNR and the chemistry isnt the same Wait till you here the FAT JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES album rock will be back


Posted by JT:
Guns N Roses are way better than any band that could ever come out of the 90's. Slash is god to me.. Guns N Roses should reunite for a reunion tour


Posted by stef hudson:
slash new album is cool


Posted by metallica7:
first off dude, their 2 different bands. Difference between the 2 is Axls relying on the old G-n-R fame to sell records and singing the old classics in conert to keep the fans attention where as Slash is playing under a new name and tunes and trying to move forward and not relying on the past. Neither one wll beat G-n-R of old for Slash was the sound and Axl was the vocals. 


Posted by phil anselmo:
I THINK ALL YOU F%$KS ARE STUPID FOR THINKING THAT AXL SHOULDN'T BE SELF CENTERED OR HAVE A BIG EGO. THAT F@#KER WORKED HARD TO GET WHERE HE IS.F@#K ALL YOU MOTHERF@#KERS WHO THINK AXL CAN'T SING AND THAT ROD IS BETTER. CUZ THERE'D BE ROD W/O AXL.I THINK SLASH IS GREAT FOR GOING OUT AND DOING HIS OWN THING. HE'S A BAD ASS! BUT SNAKE PIT WILL NEVER BE ASS BIG AS GUNS WAS.HALF OF YOU STUPIDA$$ES OUT THERE DONT KNOW SH!T ABOUT GNR AND YOU WANT TO TALK SH!T ABOUT HOW AXL SAT ON HIS ASS FOR FIVE YEARS.YEAH SO WHERE THE F@#K'S YOUR GUYS' ALBUM?


Posted by Shaun Avramov:
I've seen Slash's Snakepit perform this past Feb.. and I've seen Guns first performance on New Years in Vegas. I felt pretty much neutral between the two, but after seeing the two performances, it is more than obvious that Slash made the style and is the firehouse with those amazing solos. It seemed like all the solos that the new guy tried to pull off were decent, but again.. it's not SLASH... check him out for yourself.. you'll see..


Posted by chris :
you suck butt, dude. why can't any of those stupid web sittes ever just show a #@&%$ movie?


Posted by hotrod:
I JUST HAVE A FEW THINGS TO SAY. IF SLASH WAS GNR, THEN WHY THE HELL SNAKEPIT AIN'T NEAR WHAT GNR WAS? SLASH WAS GREAT, BUT AXL WAS AND STILL IS THE GENIUS IN THE BAND. THE NAME IS STILL GUNS N ROSES BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE CHOSE TO LEAVE, INCLUDING SLASH.GNR WAS JUST AS MUCH A PART OF SLASH'S LIFE AS IT WAS AXL'S, SO I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT AXL SINGING THE OLD TUNES, BUT YET THEY APPLAUD SLASH FOR PLAYING THE TUNES. TRUTH IS IF THERE WERE TWO STAGES WITH AXL ON ONE AND SLASH ON THE OTHER JUST PLAYING OLD GNR TUNES, EVERYONE WOULD GO SEE AXL, ALTHOUGH SOME WOULD LIE TO THEMSELVES AND MAKE THEMSELVES BELIEVE IT WOULD SOUND GREAT WITHOUT AXL'S UNIQUE VOICE. REMEMBER, IT DON'T MATTER FOR WHAT REASON, SLASH AND DUFF LEFT GNR ON THEIR OWN TERMS. GO BUY THEIR SOLO ALBUMS IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THEM, BUT I'LL STICK WITH THE TRUE GENIUS BEHIND THE MUSIC.


Posted by DAN:
I DONT THINK GNR WILL EVER BE AS GOOD AS THEY WERE IF SLASH ISNT APART OF IT


Posted by Jim Hernandez:
Well I think we all know that gn´r,especially axl really had some privat problems I and any other roses fan can´t talk about. But I think we shouldn´t forget that gn´r were best all together an´axl surely had a f*cking big influence to it.He is just a great musician an´I think dawned sh!t money an´success made him an a$$hole.Maybe...? gn´r was a band depending on each other I think.Axl got a good style,radiation and m*therf*cking great vocals like a GOD!!GET ON THE BUS ABOUT ELEVEN SIPPIN´IN A DRINK AN`FELLIN`FINE!!!! 


Posted by Huggy Bear: 152.163.195.209 
There ain't nothing wrong with Axl - you niggahz gotta problem with him and us peepz can't figure out why.


Posted by Mick: 62.252.192.4 
The new guns will never b good again without Slash, Axl's mad to think it will be


Posted by Trent: 66.27.3.61 
I wish Axl would stop trying to be me and go back to being himself


Posted by Axl Xtreme:
What do u want? For Axl to write wimpy soft songs so "he can be successful", get real u r analyzing the personal problems Axl has had, rather than analyzing him as a musician. When the sh*t throwin has settled he will always be a great singer/songwriter and u can't take that away from him.


Posted by antichrist:
im glad axl is a jerk if i had that much fame n money id b a prick too, hell. whats wrong with u people, does every fukin artist have to b nice?? wuts up with that,,,


Posted by me:
the only flaw I see with Slash is Snakepit isn't as big as G&R yet! But he really can't help that can he? I got to meet him after a show a few months back and he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, unlike AXL who has a major ego and is a jerk. Nice guys finish last? I hope not!


Posted by Salli:
I respect Slash as a guitarist... everything he's done is great but before any of you rip on Axl and say he's too stuck on himself look at the flaws that Slash has too!


Posted by SMOKE DETECTOR:
Anyone using so many words and so much of their time and energy to elaborate on the cold hard facts that 1. SLASH RULES! and 2. AXL SUCKS!, is really just blowing smoke.


Posted by Ross:
I agree with Ridah don't insult Rod by compairing him to Ass-hole opps I mean Axl. You want to know what ruined GNR it was Mr Ego Rose atlease Slash is staying true to his hard rock roots while Axl is off trying to be Trent Reznor meets Fred Durst. The old GNR was great but that is history now and I'll take Snakepit over the Axl Rose band anyday! 


Posted by Total Gore:
Slash..,you f.uckin' rock.,,i am ddfrunk as fucjk!! Party hard!!


Posted by RidahNY:
All i'm saying is to stop comparing apples to oranges.


Posted by metallica7:
well at least "slash" had the decency to use a different name unlike ass hole, i mean axl relying on the old G&R fame to sell his new lineup of bullshyt among the people. And whats with this buckethead dork? is he trying to get the same attention as slash did with his trademark hat ? 


Posted by ponygrl:
RidahNY, who pissed in your wheaties? Have you even listened to "Ain't Life Grand?" Is Axl your Jesus Christ or something? Why else would you think Slash & Rod being such a great new combination is blasphemy? You know, Axl gets attention where ever he goes because he is just so freakin weird. I'm not saying that he wasn't great when the REAL GNR was together, but because he was Mr. Flamboyant, he is now getting the attention after sitting on his butt for so long. Slash has been here all the while, looking for the right fit, and now he's found it. Does it hurt you so much on a personal level to hear people say the music is good and he deserves accolades? Geez, you would think Slash left you himself or something. Lighten up. You know he is great, and he's got something good going on for himself now. Why can't you be happy for him?


Posted by RidahNY:
It's Blasphemy to even compare this Rod Johnson guy to Axl Rose. Jeez you people are so gullible. You obviously believe everything you read including this bullcrap about Snakepit up above. Nothing Snakepit has ever done or could ever dream of doing will ever compare to what GNR did. You're not doing Slash any favors by talking about how great Snakepit is plus you're only making yourself look stupid so if i were you, i'd think twice before i went around telling everyone that Axl stinks and Snakepit is great.


Posted by Snake:
YOU ARE THE SAVIOR OF ROCK.....music is my mistress and she plays second fiddle to none


Posted by CAROL SERRA:
CONGRATULATIONS TO ROD , YOU ROCK , MAN!!! SLASH IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN AXL, WITH NO DOUBT! THEY HAVE TO COME TO SOUTH AMERICA, BRASIL!!!


Posted by Michelle:
Rod is so good. He is the perfect singer for Slash. After listening to Ain't Life Grand a few time I realised just how good of a singer he is, he's got real range unlike all those rapmetalers Axls been hanging out with. Love Live Snakepit! If I can't have the real GNR I'll take this band any day-!


Posted by Logan:
Ain't Life Grand comes in at #2 right behind Appetite For Destruction in the Greatest Albumz Of ALL Time... Slash and Rod make a way better combo than Slash N Axl... Rod is a better singer by far!!!


Posted by Paula:
Slash has his own heaven yes! He's great. I agree playing guitar for slash it´s such an important thing like breathing. And we´re so lucky!! god, we can listen to his music. Well, one day slash will die...his music WON'T


Posted by Billy:
The Ain't life Grand CD is the rock Cd of the year.Rod Jackson is a fantastic singer, perfect for SLASH. Back to the moment & Speed parade are among my favs but the whole thing rocks...Long Live SLASH!


Posted by Nathan:
This cd kicks some Ass. The songs are not just hard rock mindless songs. Most of them have alot of changes in them such as " the truth" ,"landslide",:serial killer".amazing rock album. Go out and get it and se snakepit live..!!!


Posted by Syrrah:
Slash's the best, Snakepit's the first. Buy the ALG-CD, go to a 'pit gig, and enjoy it!!! 


Posted by Mr Brownstone:
I love the way this article was writ'n funny but honest about how fvckin great Slash is. It's five o'clock somewhere tripped my trigger but Ain't Life Grande picks up with Use Your Illusion I & II left off. Fvck Eminem this should be the record of the year! Hair God? LOL that's some funny stuff.


Posted by RidahNY:
GNR didn't owe those fans anything that night. If Axl wanted to throw a fit and pull his whole band off stage then let him. Metallica tried to sue their fans so they're no saints either.


Posted by LJ:
I'm not a big fan, and never have been of GNR. They had a few good songs, but after the sh*t Axl pulled on Metallica, no respect from me. Slash IS a good guitarist though.


Posted by Brian:
Slash's new cd is way better than anything axl could put togther. 


Posted by Larzman:
What the world need's is a Guns N Roses reunion...the original GNR!!!


Posted by RidahNY:
Newsflash! This just in: Slash is a great musician and lead guitar player. Oh really? I've been living under a rock for the past 15 years and didn't know.


Posted by antichrist:
Axl wuz what made gnr comeplete they need each other. its a codependency.


Posted by El Troubador:
Slash is a class act. I read where he meticulously keeps all of his solos and licks on tapes. I also want to say that the article on Snakepit (this page) was very well written.


Posted by GREENMUSE:
i never really cared for guns n roses,i absolutly detest axle's voice,and his personality,he reminds me too much of david lee roth,arrogant c0ck rockers the pair.but i have always admired slash's work,a true master of guitar.i would give a few toes to have one of those les pauls he uses.


Posted by ponygrl:
That's right - Rod isn't Axl. Axl sat on his ass for five years while Slash kept going. I've seen both bands and I agree, I didn't care much for his first CD as Snakepit, but this band is the shyt! This IS the right combination for Slash and the music is really good. As a G&R fan, this is what I've been waiting for. Glad its finally here. Yo, G&R fans, check it out. It ain't Axl, but you WILL like it.


Posted by Mike:
I saw Slash's Snakepit with AC/DC last summer and thought they were great Rod is the perfect frontman. Then a couple days later I saw a review of the same show in the paper and the jerkoff writer was talking all kinds of trash about how Rod wasn't Axl, no shyt he is not Axl and thank God this is Slash's band not Guns n roses and I think in a lot of ways Snakepit is better.


Posted by Slash Fan:
Slash would have to be one of the best guitar players ever. He lets his guitar speak for him and all you can do is listen to the work of this guitar god


Posted by lol:
now this is what I am after good ol rock 'n' roll! Slash is the master, Axl is too stuck on himself. Long live the Snakepit! ! !


Posted by Michelle:
Slash is great and his new stuff is good.... but Axl is still the best.


Posted by Rod:
That was soooo cool. Slash is GOD!


Posted by Shells:
I love Slash! His new band is really good and alot closer to Guns n Roses then that crap Axl is doing.
