Wow, that was interesting. And looooong.
Good to hear the other side of the story finally ... but am I the only one who thinks Axl sounds quite bitter?!

I don't think he sounds bitter--he's just standing up for himself. Read Slash's book for heaven's sake...Axl is just giving his side of the story.

I don't think he sounds bitter at all, but if he was I think he has every right to be considering how much bullshit has been said about this topic by the former members etc for years and how everyone had made Axl out to be the villain because of it. I sure as hell would be bitter if all that shit was being slung at me day in and day out for no reason other then for them to save face and try and get history changed.

that was an amazing read. Cleared up so much and really filled a lot of spaces.
The fact he posted that is awesome and shows he does care about the fans he just wasn't legally allowed to say anything.
I liked his part where he said if what they said about him were true he would say Fuck me too. LOL!

Dont get me wrong - i think he totally has the right to say whatever he feels about Slash after everything that was said and done over the years. And yes, he has totally the right to be bitter, upset, disappointed or whatever...
This post was made just a few seconds after i finished reading axl post. In between all those facts this negative vibe was it what touched me the most. It made me remmeber lots of bullshit that was said like it was yesterday. Because that is not just a 'normal' interview or article written by a third party, it is more like a personal letter. Just wanted to 'discuss' this feeling i got from this post.
Didnt mean to offend anyone.

Yeah that basically sums it up. Wow. Really is something to finally hear Axl's side of the story after all these years. Can't help but feel bad for him. All these years of Slash and co. lying to the media and whoever will listen just to save face while Axl sat in the shadows taking the blows. I'm glad he finally came out to tell us the real story.

Very cool and amazing and can't wait to read the whole thing. Super long though! haha.
Definitely nice to hear the other side to the story.
Let's see how long it takes people to start analyzing/dissecting EVERY word he said and compare it to interviews that are 20 years old...

Interesting read! I must say it's good to hear the other side of the story for once, Yet we all know that truth is somewhere in the middle, Axl is telling the story so it'll make him look better and the same goes for Slash...

Axl really has responded. How many years have we wondered about his side of the story.
He didn't sell these answers in a book or a publicized magazine interview. He gave them to us for free.
Pretty inspiring.

Excellent point, killingvector!
Nice to hear Axl's side of the story. I always wondered about that whole "He wouldn't go onstage unless we gave him the name" claim by Slash. It always seemed so ludicrous to me.

Obviously it took Axl a very long time to write this, he didn't have to do it, but he did! I hope it clears up a lot of confusion.
Thanks!!

I think this is probably the most important statement Axl has ever issued in regards to the state of the union.
A historic address.

He's right, Slash has always been in the media telling his side of the story, which for whatever reason, everyone bought and believes it to be true, and everything is Axls fault. Why not just leave Axl alone. He OWNS Guns N Roses, and will continue to TOUR and make MUSIC with GUNS N ROSES>

I think it was an amazing read. I've wanted to hear his take on so many things for almost 15 years, so it was really cool to hear from him in such a candid way. I hope Axl continues to post and maybe explain his side of things more often.
I'd love for him to let us understand some of the recording and writing process that took place for Chinese Democracy, the evolution of the project and whatnot.
To Axl: Now that I know for sure you come here some times, I'll re-write what I once sent off to LA in a letter as a troubled teenager almost 10 years ago:
Your music has been an inspiration in so many ways over the course of my life. I am only old enough to vaguely remember GNR being on top of the world, but I have enjoyed your music since I was 8 years old. There were many tough battles over the course of my formative years in regards to life at home, as well as school, etc. I have always found solace in your work and have always felt that it helped me make it through those tough times. Those memories and feelings are why I've anticipated ChiDem for so long, why I have always made sure to catch your live shows whenever you tour.
I also took an active interest in music due to GNR. The music was my inspiration to learn to play rock music and sing.
I know sometimes we can be very critical about not getting what we want, but I for one at this point just wanted to say I can't thank you enough for the music you have made. It has made more a difference than you could ever know.
