Popular Post Gordon Comstock 2,178 Posted September 26, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 At the 2nd-to-last NuGNR show in 2014, when DJ hopped off the stage and was playing right in front of the barrier, I saw some dude try to slap him and yell 'Fuck you, you're not Slash!' I'm not a DJ fan but I felt kinda bad for him there. Really, what kinda fag goes to a show just to do that? How does 'go to show' + 'yell at DJ and get kicked out' = 'win'?

MacDaddyRose 3,645 Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Needs to find better coping mechanisms like Axl did. Axl has clearly eaten away his sorrows with In N Out burger double doubles animal style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've always felt a little bad for all of the replacement guys. They were essentially in a no win situation. The NuGNR shows were always more fun than the Sham Reunion shows though. Especially early on in 02-06 where he actually had interesting shit to say from time to time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post MacDaddyRose 3,645 Posted September 26, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hard to feel bad for a guy who was a lead guitarist as one of the biggest bands in the world, just because a few people on the internet said mean things about him. It had to have been in the job description by the time Ashba joined the band. I've been around people shitting on Robin, Bucket, Richard and BBF, and they're all better guitarists. Didn't help matters that he stunk. Yeah, part of you does sympathize for the situation, but it's your fucking job. You can't expect to replace a beloved figure like Slash, suck at your job, and expect people to take to you as if you're an adequate replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MacDaddyRose 3,645 Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 In fairness, nobody gets shit on in this band more than Axl, and he's an original member. From the weight, to the corn rows, to the obvious plastic surgery/hair transplants, to the mustache, to the mickey mouse voice. If he's an open target, can't expect some hired guns, on the payroll employees to be off limits. Axl has been under more scrutiny than most. Not saying I don't enjoy it.

Popular Post MacDaddyRose 3,645 Posted September 26, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 The guy seemed generally enthusiastic to be in GNR, which was almost problematic. The guys who really couldn't give a fuck less like Finck and Bucket worked a bit better. This isn't Rock Star, and you're not Mark Wahlberg. Chill the fuck out and act like a lead guitarist.
