Official Slash Twitter and Myspace Update Thread

[LT4]

Jeeze, the guy was probably flipping channels on the television and came across the GnR
biography on A&E and was impressed with what he saw.  And yet reading this thread one could
get the impression that  he was in his basement watching the old music videos right now. 


It would be nice to hear something....anything from axl though.  I'll bet he's got some nice cars.

Would be wierd if Axl gave updates every night like: "Just finished vocals on a new track, it's off-the-hook-pandemonium-CRAZY!! Like Robert Plant trying to eat Freddy Mercury in a dark black alley!! While Rob Halford is cheering them on! You guys are gonna LOVE IT TO DEATH!!! Oh! And check out the new car I just bought! Isn't it rad?"

I never remember Slash comparing any of his solos to that of legendary guitarists. If he said something like awe man I just played a solo that would make Jimmy Page feel like a beginer, then I could see where your coming from, but I think its just part of his personality, not that hes cocky, just that hes excited.

I think the purpose of his twitter is to keep his friends/  diehard fans informed of his actions, not as press releases.

well said. Also yeah it would be wierd if axl posted in that way. But would it be wierd if a non-recluse ; sebastian bach for example; posted in that way? No! Axl and slash are different people, and say what you want about marketing ploys, to me he comes accross as a dude thats genuinely excited and proud of shit and wants to share it with his fans.

I got a buzz out of him saying he watched and enjoyed the guns footage, and if i was in his position i would have said the same to my fans.

There's no doubt about that! And they've got different id?as on how to promote themself.

If you like seeing your "heroes" in this and that promotional-sitiuation, I guess is just a matter of taste. And Slash's way to go is just not to my liking, simple as that. But if it floats your boat, cool! 

With that said, hardly any or no promotion, is indeed aaaaah just a tad on the light side....     But like Axl would prolly say, it is what is! And depending on the next move from them, it could have its advantages. But that remains to be seen!

I hope he wasn't impressed by the A&E Bio.  While it had some decent information and footage, it was ultra lame they couldn't use any GNR music through the thing.

I couldnt see Axl posting updateds like Slash they both have different styles its not that Axl dosent like to try keep his fans informed I think he likes to keep a lot of things to himself

Well if you ask me it absolutely seems like Axl doesn't really care about keeping his fans informed. Of course I'm not saying that Axl should inform his fans about his really private business. No celeb owes their fans that. However, it wouldn't hurt Axl to let his fans know what he's up to musically once in a while.

[D]

I just accept people for their different personalities

For instance, I love Jon Bon Jovi and everything he does and he has a way of pulling it off without looking shitty but if Axl did it, it would just be different

same with this, I am fine with Slash doing what he does because it just fits who he is and his personality
if Axl started sending out 10 tweets a day, that would be great for us as fans, but I don't expect Axl to because that isnt what he does

Yeah I thought it was quite cool and out of character for Axl to do the online chats.  It almost became commonplace there, as he was it for like 3 nights in a row.  I'm sure if he became a staple on these boards the coolness of the whole thing would wear off pretty quick.  People would just start getting in verbal fights with him and stuff.

[estebanf]

what are Slash's news today? Something interesting about his dog? Any new car? What about Perla? Any cheap shot at Axl or anybody else?

[D]

for the record I cannot stand Perla

[jemin]

Has he ever took a cheap shot at Axl or anyone else through twitter?  Why is it ok for others to update their fans through twitter but not Slash.  I know he updates about some some stupid shit sometimes (at least to me), but I am sure there are plenty of people who dig the shit about his car or whatever.

When an everyday normal, non celebrity uses twitter, its fine for them to talk about their new cars and how excited they are. But I guess not Slash, hes not a human being, hes just a musical commodity to members of this board.

I think the whole thing is over the top.  Who cares if Slash had a bowel movement this morning...but who reaaaallly cares if average Joe did.  I hope twitter is just a 'fad' that people get over soon.   

[Jdog0830]

Yeah when they realize no one cares about whatever the fuck it is they are doing but at least Slash is more intamite about things with his fans then most celbs

Yeah I don't think it's cool for the average Joe OR celebrities.  But the world we live in today wants up to the minute updates.  So some people are willing to deliver.  Bless them for it.  I do think most of the things Slash (and many others) posts are pointless.  But hell if they wanna let us know, I'll be glad to follow along.  Along the same lines, you can't blame some people for voicing their opinion that "who the f--k cares what kind of car you're buying?"  Some people are struggling to pay their bills, the last thing they want to read about is these types of things.

[D]

Problem is, Slash has used Twitter 99 percent of the time for music updates which are awesome

he may show a new car or a guitar but who cares?

Slash never Tweets "getting ready to take a shower" or any of that shit

[IzzyDutch]

I think music updates of Slash on his Twitter are pretty cool.. nevermind if they're positive/upbeat or not. As long as it's musical it's great. Hell I wish Izzy would give us more updates, the guy finished a new album two months ago and he hasn't mentioned anything to us at all since over a year.. He never even told anyone of the release of Concrete, the people had to find out themselves when they noticed the album popping up on iTunes.

Well put, I agree.  I think twitter is pretty dumb, but if slash is going to keep me updated on his musical on goings i will gladly read.
