W. Axl Kev Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 That's fake as shit! In January Axl said he ''loved'' Slash and he had not spoken to him in 10 years. It does not add up at all. Why would Axl say that if Slash turned up at his house and told him Matt, Duff and Scott all sucked. Lies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickingthehabit Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) The OFFICIAL release mentions nothing of the relations between members of VR. It also says nothing of Slash making an unanounced visit to Axl's house. Here is the REAL text, from Businesswire.comAxl Rose Responds to Lawsuit LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2006--W. Axl Rose, on Friday March 3, 2006 responded to one of Saul "Slash" Hudson's baseless lawsuits by filing a counterclaim asking the Federal Court to confirm his ownership of his own creative works. Slash and Michael "Duff" McKagan had previously filed cases both in Federal Court and in the Los Angeles Superior Court making numerous false allegations about Axl. Mr. Rose believes that once apprised of the true facts the Judge or Jury deciding these lawsuits will rule in Axl's favor on every issue before them. More surprising to Axl are recent media reports that Slash (Saul Hudson) is claiming that he has always been supportive of Axl Rose and the new Guns N' Roses. Slash's actions in recent years have in fact been anything but supportive. Besides the lawsuits filed against Axl Rose, claiming, among other things, that Axl does not own the copyright in the songs that Axl co-authored with his former Guns N' Roses band mates, Slash has continually made negative and malicious statements about Axl in order to garner publicity for himself. As an example the Federal lawsuit Hudson and McKagan filed was based on a faulty premise from the start. What Hudson and McKagan attempted to portray as egregious misconduct by Axl was in fact -- as Slash and Duff have learned -- nothing more than a clerical error committed by ASCAP. Had Slash and Duff or their representatives bothered to pick up the phone the clerical error could have been easily sorted out without the need for filing an utterly baseless lawsuit which one can only assume had been filed for the purposes of self-publicity at Axl's expense. The lawsuit also attacks Axl's integrity as Slash and Duff, in a vindictive attempt to aggrandize their own stature, re-write history through false statements, which have been repeated by the media. Their attacks on Axl stand in sharp contrast to Rose's conduct. Axl has at all times worked diligently to maintain the artistic integrity of the band by choosing with great care which properties to license Guns N' Roses songs to and refusing to participate in what he believed were potentially embarrassing projects. He has fought to avoid the release of material that does not live up to the highest of standards demanded by the band's history and it's followers. Axl chose not to respond through the media while taking the high road in the face of Slash and Duff's attacks. Hudson and McKagan, by contrast, have told ever changing - and false - stories regarding the formation of the band and it's history and believe that the band's catalogue should be exploited without careful consideration - for the Guns N' Roses brand and their loyal audience - or Axl's input as if it were fast food by anyone willing to pay for it. For over 10 years Slash, a consummate press, photo and media opportunist and manipulator, has attacked Axl Rose on a number of levels. Slash's actions whether in or out of Gun's N' Roses have been a complete betrayal across the board of his alleged friendship and business relationship with Axl and the so called brotherhood and band loyalties that are supposed to have existed. Instead Slash has publicly attempted, by soliciting public and media support, to take credit for something that was not his or anyone else's to take, notwithstanding that Slash played a major part in the success of the band as Axl has continually acknowledged. Mr. Rose's attorney Howard Weitzman commented, "Axl regrets having to spend time and energy on these distractions but he has a responsibility to protect the Guns N' Roses legacy and expose the truth. Axl believes he has been left with no alternative but to respond to these lawsuits. It would have been Axl's preference to resolve disputes with Slash and Duff in private. The courthouse is not his choice of forum. However, Axl could no longer sit quietly and allow the continuing dissemination of falsehoods and half-truths by his former band-mates."As I stated before, you can find the transcript on businesswire.com but you'll have to register to see it.Yes, I noticed this as well..I think it's rather pathetic that someone attempted to manipulate the press release..I can't say I'm surprised, however..-Kickingthehabit Edited March 7, 2006 by Kickingthehabit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastar Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Guys, think about this. Blabbermouth had the inside scoop. Slash really did go to Axl's at 5 in the morning. He showed up with Luda and The Mafia. They let him preview the Academy Award winning "Hard Out Here For A Pimp". Axl made some suggestions, and then Slash and Axl decided to bury the hatch. It was here at 5 in the morning that they sat down with Luda and The Mafia and planned a very secret world tour, where they will all come together and perform "Hard Out Here For A Pimp". Cause afterall It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp, guys.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that would make liars out of both Axl and Slash since they have both recently stated they haven't spoken to each other in a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
