ChristmasFnatic Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 That he is a cancer, and that the less of him and his fans, the better... Do you think he is bothered as much as Axl is bothered by Slash's words? And maybe just good at hiding it?Or is he the type who can just roll it off his shoulders?

Apollo Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'd guess that he just rolls his eyes and laughs.It's like a GF from 15 years ago saying bad things about you, when her sour attitude was the real reason you broke up with her!!! Now your happily married, with kids and enjoying your life........why would you care what that ex-gf said? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I think Slash is doing his thing, and not too concerned about the past. It's been a long time since the old Guns days.Moving forward comes naturally to him. I don't think he will ever find a musical partner like Axl, but playing live and putting out records on a regular basis seems good enough for him.

Miss Paradise Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I think he gets annoyed at most. But he must not give great importance to it. Slash is more balanced than Axl. He does not take things so seriously Edited October 9, 2013 by Miss Paradise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitch_77 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 He knows Axl, he must say to himself "There he goes talking crazy again". I'm sure it doesn't bother him much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsys Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 He is not nearly as bothered as Axl, and he has a full life to occupy his time. But I'm sure he feels sadness when he thinks about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicguns4life Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 He knows Axl, he must say to himself "There he goes talking crazy again". I'm sure it doesn't bother him much.Thats the answer. He knows Axl is crazy and he knows that he is no more at fault than Axl for GNR falling apart. Therefore, I don't think he ever feels sadness or bothered when thinking about all the things Axl has said. I think he ignores it and realized a long time ago Axl is being a baby and unreasonable so it doesn't affect him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PITBOSS Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 or does the thought of all the cash he gave up by signing the name away and quitting make him more sad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmapelian Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 or does the thought of all the cash he gave up by signing the name away and quitting make him more sad?Gnr hasn't been a cash cow since he left - he probably clears more now by bypassing the label and releasing his own music and when he tours, he doesn't have topay out an entourage or late fines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 or does the thought of all the cash he gave up by signing the name away and quitting make him more sad?HHmm,Well, Slash loves sharing music with his fans. So seeing that Axl has put out ONE album in the 16 years of owning the name by himself, I'm sure Slash isn't too broken up about that part of it.As for the money part, we know that Slash made millions of dollars while with GnR and still gets royality checks. Plus he makes money off of his own albums and tours. Are you implying that Axl and Slash are only in the business for the money? Or that money is the main motivator for them?

PITBOSS Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I mean is he more bothered by the loss of a friendship of a brother or by the monetary loss of whole thing?lets face it he's not making the kind of money he would be making if things had gone differently.

PITBOSS Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 good point cm. would be a tragedy if he o.d-ed. most of us are disappointed to say the least on how stuff ended up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 His usual response is something along the lines of "that's just Axl" or "you have to know him to understand where he's coming from". I'm pretty sure it's no skin off his nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
