I usually back Axl when he does things like this. I have always "seen things his way". However, "Guns N Roses" is Axl's band and his BRAND. To not show up is fine with me - totally fine. But to flat out refuse to be inducted into the HOF as a member of Guns N' Roses when he is in fact IN Guns N' Roses and owns Guns N' Roses is absurd. It's good for the brand to be in the HOF even though it's BS. This new line-up just now started to get love and respect from the press in 2011/2012. He has just liked that momentum. Why?


But he explained it...  Huh


Besides. "It's good for the brand". Does that sound like something typical GN'R?

That sounds more like the way KISS is run.... Or a band like Bon Jovi.

We all know Adler is like a brain dead puppy dog.  Annoying, but mostly well-meaning and harmless. 

Some of my posts seem to have vanished.  Not cool.

Yeah, some of your posts belong in 2002.

They weren't cool back then either by the way.

Not wanting to doesn't equal being scared.

It's like kids daring each other. Jump off this cliff! What? Are you scared?



Silly....

It's called discourse Jarmo.  It should be allowed.  Otherwise everyone is just sitting around agreeing with each other.  I'm sorry you feel that way.

I'm sorry you think it's ok to be disrespectful to people in the band and working for the band just because you're bitter.

And, no it won't be allowed.

He did explain it. But who really needs an explanation? A simple: "I am not coming, thank you" would have been fine. Jarmo, not everyone understands or knows about GNR like we do. (the HTGTH community) This massive letter was not nessesary imo. I don't care about the original line-up playing together again - I'd rather they not play again. I'd rather he not show up to the HOF. But this huge letter and refusing the award is silly and damages THIS current line-ups reputation.

Then they should have had no problem dumping him from the ceremony.  yes  I disagree on the well meaning part, but that's neither here nor there, and he is harmful to himself. Nothing to be scared of, but no reason to enable him or share a stage with him, either.

I haven't always appreciated Axl's rambles but I liked this letter, and judging from all the responses it was necessary for him to at least try to explain his reasoning.

I just can't express my emotions and feelings of pure happiness and joy after reading Axl's words at the LA Times. This is probably one of my happiest days as a GN'R fan, being absolutely PROUD of Axl Rose, the soul and mastermind of the band we all love.

Thank you Axl Rose, once again, for not dissapointing us. For not letting your soul to be sold to the devil. For supporting and believeing in Guns N' Roses, which it's equal to say Bumblefoot, Dj ASHBA?, Richard Fortus, Tommy Stinson, Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman, Frank Ferrer plus, of course, you.

Your integrity as a human being and as an artist is a light in the inmense shadows that covers this world, and a truly inspiration for a lot of us. Expect neverending loyalty from me, as a GNR fan, for the decision you made today.

I love you Axl. Esteban

I think the hall was hoping for some drama and controversy that it would stir up with Axl and Slash in the same room.

Axl did not let that happen.

Fans choose great bands, not the Rock N Roll Hall of fame.

And they still have not let Rush into their little club.

He fucked the current line-up by doing this (writing the letter - making a huge stink). They will never play arenas again in the USA because of this. My cell phone and FB is blowing up right now - all casual fans wanting to remind me what a douche my hero is.

are you worried for the sizes of the arenas, and for the opinions of a bunch of nobodies? are these really your problems?

Let's celebrate that:
- Axl is a man of honour.
- There is NOTHING more to speculate from now on. NOTHING. All has been said.
- There will NEVER be a reunion,
- Axl wont play in the same stage with Slash,
- Axl is 100% focused in his band, Guns N' Roses.
- Izzy and Duff are still friends of Axl and the band. The 2 bloodsuckers arent (Steven and $la$h)

I cant find better reasons to celebrate. Fantastic day to be a GNR fan.  beer

there's zero possibility of me having anything to do with Slash other than by ambush, and that wouldn't be pretty.

Dee Snyder just asked Slash about Axl's statement at the Golden God Awards and he said something to the extent of "I'm not going to comment on that but, I'll be there".

Steven is being interviewed now on it. https://www.facebook.com/xbox/app_206157356151293

Edit: Dee just attacked Axl and called GNR "Rose N' Roses" and Steven agreed "it is Rose N' Roses". Dee said anyone who see's Axl's band is a traitor. Steven said something like "when I say it I'm the bad guy". Shows he was never truly remorseful about what he said about the current band.

was gonna post a comment on what isnt there now...lol but seriously the world hasn't imploded. This was a ballsy stance, and a courageous one on Axl's part, and end of the day seriously the real fans will be there, there never will be reunion talking anymore less people are so dumb. Axl will take a load of crap, but in the end will come out ahead with his integrity , and a band that will and does give the fans everything they have.

I'm really disappointed!  AFD changed my life and I feel the induction should have been a celebratory occasion honoring the great achievements of my favorite band.  They not only changed rock n roll history but also changed the lives of many of their fans!  Boo crying
