Scott takes shot at Axl

[mrlee]

But Slash, Duff, and Matt were a part of GN'R.

so then a GNR banner not a Axl banner. I can understand his own personal agrassion, but the "insult to the band part" is stupid cause slash always says how he is proud of his GNR herritage. Though the Axl piss take was funny it was totally uneccessary.

[Narcissa]

But Slash, Duff, and Matt were a part of GN'R.

yea, but being a part of GN'R doesn't mean being a part of Axl.

Scott wouldn't have told someone weilding a GN'R banner to get out.

He's working his way towards that!

[Narcissa]

How does this figure into the equation ?

Slash being proud to be part of the GN'R legacy doesn't mean he should allow an Axl banner.
An Axl banner at a VR gig serves one purpose - to shit on VR.

Scott wouldn't have told someone weilding a GN'R banner to get out.

Cool, he's also working his way towards getting booed offstage.

[Drew]

Honestly, I can see and understand why both Axl and Scott would want to throw someone out. Is it silly?.....maybe. But they'll do what they choose to do.

[Narcissa]

But that leaves no room for debate

If you want to see a fat, bald guy who wears a wig, you'll have to wait another ten years."

Maybe Scotts showing his dangerous and rebellious side?

maybe one day he will get an interview where the name Axl Rose isnt mentioned in it or hes questioned about.

But he should enjoy the attention now...because the earth will shake  one of these days and the focus will shift  on that fat,bald guys who wears a wig. Only thing is they will also be talking about the meanigful lyrics and meaningful album he will provide. NOt the art of talking up a big game when there are no heavyweights in the industry.

I also pray we get a nice rant or even a verbal back n forth match one day. Ill sacrifice the Axl is jealous of VR, and is a dickhead from all the great civilized posters we have here. Just get that white flag ready Scott. Even you bandmates will probably be left smirking and giggling...if you know what I mean.

Funny that this is only coming up now, I metioned it after I went to see the second Sydney show and no-one batted an eyelid about it.

I think it's disrespectful to do something like that at a VR show, the same as it's disrespectful to take a Slash sign to a nuGN'R show.
Scott was getting heaps of cheers in the crowd when he told the guy off too!

Probably because no1 cares all that much about VR around here. If this was Axl there would be a 20 pg thread on it...and all the negatives...yada yada yada

Well this is the VR section of the board and it's certainly causing up some stir now...

Yeah, great point...

...maybe one day. ?

[younggunner]

now do us all a favor and post the ones where Axl and gnr are mentioned...ill give u a few days...

[RichardNixon]

Some Australian reviews have come in. One is from SiLvAnA who went to both of the Sydney shows and was very impressed - one of the greatest live band ever seen! During the second show, there was an incident where Scott angily told some fans with an Axl Rose banner to leave the show. Scott said the banner insulted the band and other VR fans. Scott told them they were not invited, had wasted their money and to get out. "If you want to see a fat, bald guy who wears a wig, you'll have to wait another ten years."

Sammy Hagar had to deal with this kind of thing when he took over David Lee Roth's spot in Van Halen. I think with time this sort of thing will pass. I wouldn't take the Axl diss too seriously. He was probably just pissed off and speaking off the cuff. I doubt Weiland wants to start a pissing contest with Axl.

That wont necessary since Ive completely invalidated your comment.

[younggunner]

Yes, Booker, being that I didnt say MOST, you found a loophole to win the argument. Chalk another one up for the all technical...I mean all mighty Booker boys n girls...

you get the point of what I was saying and your response to my response clearly shows that.

Its also interesting how you havnt chimed in on what Scott had to say. Im willing to wager if the name was Axl Im sure you would have thrown in your comments into the mix

[nesquick]

Scott can't bear the Axl's comparaison. HE KNOWS what people think about him: "good frontman, but not Axl". and I would say this "not Axl" thing annoys him a lot...
It's the same when people say about Robin Finck: "good guitar player, but not Slash". However Finck keeps his anger for himself I guess...

[younggunner]

I really dont have a problem with him getting pissed off about the Axl signs or whatever. I just think that when he talks about Axl in that manner would be something he really shouldnt involve himself with cause if or when Axl respondsScott would not be looking so badass when its all said and done.

Buy hey if that part of the whole badass act...by all means continue

The guys in GNr already know there role. They have never tried to mock or make fun of the old band. They have ene said some good things about them. The GNr guys are in a different situation than Scott is. I think that has a lot to do with it as well.

[RichardNixon]

To tell you the truth, I think the Axl/Weiland comparison is kind of cool. We haven't had a debate in rock like this since David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar, and that's gotten old.
