First time any of us are hearing it, I assume.  It just seems so random.

He is saying this went down in 1991.  So you are telling me Axl held his tongue for 5 more years before finally not being able to take it anymore?  AXL???

I don't see it.

Axl also listed MJ as one of his favorite singers just last year:

Seems highly unlikely that this is the reason.

Axl named Michael Jackson as one of the vocalist he admires last year. If the reason of the feud with Slash really was MJ, then the problem seems to be solved now.  hihi

I do kinda remember a quote from Axl where he kinda made light of Slash going off and playing with him... I think.

But I think thats probably number 37 on the list of grievances he has with the man.

Yeah, I think he once mentioned that he thought Slash wasted his talent playing with the likes of Michael Jackson.

It was more in the lane of Slash playing pop music I think, nothing indicated that he had anything against MJ as a person. Axl was very outspoken in that time period, if he had any opinions on the charges against MJ I think he would have gone public with them in a heartbeat. I can't remember him doing that.

Yep, it's in Axl's interview with Rolling Stone, published on February 3, 2000.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/axl-speaks-20000203

Even when it came to picking tracks for the recent Live Era '87-'93 retrospective, Rose and Slash ? whom Rose describes as "negatively seductive" ? communicated their song selections only through intermediaries. "I never said that I was bitter," Rose explains, characteristically concerned with making fine distinctions. "Hurt, yeah. Disappointed. I mean, with Slash, I remember crying about all kinds of things in my life, but I had never felt hot, burning tears ? hot, burning tears of anger. Basically, to me, it was because I am watching this guy and I don't understand it. Playing with everyone from Space Ghost to Michael Jackson. I don't get it. I wanted the world to love and respect him. I just watched him throw it away."

I like how Doug tosses in there that, if there is ever a reunion, he would be the only possible person that could handle it.

What a sport.

Yeah...that's not self serving, eh?

I mean...has ANYONE heard ANYTHING from Mr. Goldstein in a dogs age or two?  No?

And now.....suddenly...from out of nowhere.....he has something new to say about Guns n Roses, and offers his managerial services, to boot, to "heal the wounds".

C'mon.  I was born. And there was a yesterday (just ask Axl). But I wasn't born yesterday.

Don't believe everything you read.

Once again, the headlines are more interesting than the truth. I'm assuming most people here are aware of the things that happened in the band and they got nothing to do with Michael Jackson.

Yeah, I think this one gets filed firmly under the heading "urban legend".

Someone send this on to snopes.com.  hihi

I don't think anyone really believes this, but that hardly means we know why Axl hates Slash.

Kind of hard when all he gives you is "oh, he knows what he did!" type stuff.

I noticed that too.  Evidently, ol' Doug hasn't read the books written by Slash, Duff, or Steven to see how the rest of the band feels about his ability to keep the band together.

Agreed.  Even with the Axl quote that I cited above, I still highly doubt that is what has divided Slash and Axl so harshly for the last 20 years.

Agreed.  If this was really the deal breaker, as Mr. D-X said, he wouldn't have waited five years to act on it.  No way.

Doug Goldstein
33 mins ?
Didn't realize this would show up here but glad it has.SO MANY lies and hostility amongst what was once a "Family" that I loved dearly!! I can only hope that people can put away all the anger and blame and get back to being the GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME!!! When I said I believed I was the best candidate to reunite them, it's the truth as id be the ONLY person that ever just LOVED them and never counted the silly dollars. All those who have tried have failed because they are too greedy and Axl can smell that a mile away.


So Doug's desire to manage a line-up from old Guns is motivated by 'love' and not what it would do for him in terms of profile, legacy, personal wealth and the future well-being of his family.

Right...  hihi

Wow, Doug is such a trooper.

He really doesn't even want to do this, but just feels an obligation. 

Probably waives his fee, the hero.

Jackson doesn't get enough credit for being a pretty good rock singer

Songs like dirty Diana and give in to me (With slash) are great
