axl is alone and you all are nervous bush ballers

This isn’t about hating or loving GNR, it’s about the attention you’re giving them. If you really hated them, you wouldn’t even bother leaving comments or even looking up articles. You would ignore them completely. Axl is a talented musician. Very talented. No matter who wants to admit it. If he wasn’t talented at all, he wouldn’t have sold over a million records you idiots. Giving any band this much attention blatantly shows how much you care. Enough said.

I’ll start lovin’ AXL again when he gives me a reason…

Chinese democracy aint it!

I think it’s a shame that grunge came on the scene cuz all the music before it was way better. Axl Rose, Slash, all the other origional band members, they are the best ever so if you dont have nothin nice to say about most incredible people ever dont say ANYTHING.

I HEART AXL

Hey all you people stop hating Axl unless you personally were hurt by him like you know him or something. He’s better than you ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! !!!!!

I HEART AXL

slash is cool too and all the origional ppl. i havent heard any of the new songs but i bet they’re good cuz they have Axl

hey all of you haters. i bet you cant sing at all so shut it up cuz Axl sings amazingly and he rules my world. Slash and all the origional people are incredible too. I

axl did not an still don’t know managing his conceited spirit
slash and the rest of the band play perfectly goooooooood music
of course wthout axl it would not be the same,but somemone hwo lost alla his friends means only one thing THAT HE IS THE FAILER
I love the way you sing axl but damn on you and on the way media and marketing company manage you like an ooooold tired donkey

Hey Axl if you read this I hope you are doing well. Slash must be in need of money to write a trash book. Just don’t do the same. The only reason everyone is so upset is because the original GnR was so great. They have to find someone to take it out on that times have changed. Change is hard to deal with but it happens. God Bless.

GnR is the greatest rock band ever. Can’t take that away, can’t change it. It is what it is. Slash is a great guitarist but so is Jimmie Page, Eric Clapton and Eddie Van Halen. Ultimately, GnR is great because of all the band members, Axl included. I just wish I had a pinky full of talent for performing music that anyone in that band has. Peace to the band. Peace to the fans.

A shitload of you don’t know what you’re missing. Chinese Democracy is pure genius. rock n’ roll with passion, conscience and soul. it doesn’t get much better than this! don’t listen to ‘em, axl…do your thing and those who “get it” will keep supporting you. Funny how Rolling Stone knew that there would be mad criticism before it even came out. I guess axl made the corporate media whores angry.

Axl was and still is GnR!!!

dude, axle looks and sounds like a hard out alcoholic to me! LOL

I LIKE CHICKEN

I jumped out of the car to get a reaction of Slash you fuckers. BUY Chinese Democracy COMING TO A STORE NEAR YOU!!!

Axl Rose should have stayed in retirement where Kurt Cobain left him !

Axl Rose is a childish douche bag who has trouble fulfilling contracts and upholding commitments to appear at concerts. He’s a talentless hack. I watched the video for this new tune “Chinese Democracy”? And actually laughed out loud during its duration. Like he gives a shit about China? This video mish mash of stock war footage from Iraq, Somalia and other areas of conflict are slapped together haphazardly to a tune with ridiculously boring chord structure and lyrics that sound like they were written by an angry 13 boy recently discovered living in a time capsule from 1983. This will be the height of all doucebaggery and hopefully he’ll finally be laughed into the idea of doing himself in.

Haaaaaa Haaaa……..
ive got CHINESE DEMOCRACY already,
and its the best fucking album i have ever heard.
And fuck velvet revolver,I saw them at Brisbane in Febuary and they fucking sucked live…………And GNR last year when i saw them they put on one hell of a show and Axl is the best…… and fuck u slash for dissopointing me with your shity band VR…

every stop raging guns n roses and velvet revolver are both sweet bands

every stop raging guns n roses and velvet revolver are both sweet bands

I think the problem is that Guns N Roses are such legends and that people have immortalized them in their minds in such a way that it seems too hard for people to let go of their beloved image and emotions attached to the original Guns N Roses and their sound.

It’s been almost 2 decades now that slipped by. They can’t write the same youthful street songs filled with raw rock. As artists though they can grow and develop new sounds. I am not sure that the public is ready to accept Axl’s new version of Guns N Roses. His band admits to not wanting to grow into a new sound either. They wanted to keep playing Appetite music.

Personally, I like the new Guns N Roses sound. I don’t want them to try and keep selling Appetite to me. They just never could (nor should they) reproduce that. It’s legend. They needed to let it go and move on.

Who cares about their personal lives or Axls problems. It’s what makes him a genius artist. So, many artists have had troubles that drove their genius creativity. People need to mind their own buisness and let the artist create his magic and just appreciate it.

Rock On \m/*+*♫♪*+*\m/

Axl smokes helmut. really. This is why GNR broke up.

Axl smokes helmut now. really. This is why GNR broke up.

Slash > Axl totally.
The only reason Axl acts all tough and starts fights is cuz he got 20 body guards backing him up. Hes a 50 year old fat ass who still thinks hes a badass. I think GNR should reunite to the old lineup- replacing Axl with Scott Weiland- at least Scott doesn’t sound like shit and can actually hit notes.

Good old days… Will never come back. Sad. GN’R 1986-93..

If you assholes hate Axl so much why the hell are you reading these articles about him?

It’s MORE than a little sad anyone still pays attention to Axl Rose in any way, shape or form…..The glory days are gone, and only a new band will bring the pleasure we seek.

Axl Rose is fatter than old-Elvis, with half the voice. Guns’n'Roses were the best in the world…for about 15 minutes. Who cares at this point. If Chinese Democracy is ever finally released, I won’t waste the money. They’re about as interesting as Steely Dan at this point.

hey true rocker fans already know thats how Axl is and love him all the more for it. But seems to me the stories being told are probobly exaggerated.He’s still being mentioned in a book that i shall be on my way to buy now.

why don’t they get guns and roses back and take axel out cause he is poo!

axel Rose is the king!!!!

Axl Rose is a jackass freak. Every tour he has problems with flights, health, people, band members, and at some point either does not show up or cancels the shows. F’ Axl Pussy Rose!! Long live Velvet Revolver. They blow generic GnR away!

gnr for life

axl rose is the best

axl rose is the best so fuck off haters

u rule

u rule

axl rose is the shit

Any1 seen south park when they made fun of bono?? Is it just me or dose any1 else think Axl should have gotten that part? It was very fitting.

I briefly caught Axl on TV for some Hollywood event. He had red,white and blue braids and something that resembled a bad face lift. Axl you scare me.

No fucken way Man, When he came down to austalia in june every one went crazy for the whole damn show, and axl soaked it up, he aint scared of shit PUNK

Slash hasn’t sold out, he just gotten older like all of us will. He is still cool & always was, Axl on the other-hand has got serious problems.

slash whatever happened to you? your concert was fuckin’ boring, you sold out fat prick. And your band sucks!

vr sucks live, I’d rather listen to AXL singin’ welcome to the jungle, than that fuckin singer they have.

Axl has sucked since he did that music for the ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ movies

From another perspective, artists who write and create for themselves often reach out to listeners and viewers who relate to their statements, on personal, social and political levels. Some dreams do come true - hang on to the positive ones.

Sorry to say Ali, but you’re living in a delusional world if you really believe that artists write the music for themselves. Maybe indi artists, but certainly not mainstream artists. For one thing, producers and record execs don’t let them, for another, once they taste the money, they wouldn’t even try. They know the formula. That’s why you see guys go off and make a solo record, they’ve got songs they want to record that simply don’t sound like the type of song their band would do and, therefore, their fans would put up with.

That said, and if possible, keep dreaming. It’s a very nice dream.

Ed Van Halen seems to function with Roth, can’t Rose get the same stuff they give Ed?

I hope Axl dumps that album in the trash and gets the original band (with Matt Sorum in) to do a real “Guns & Roses” album.
When Robert Plant makes a record and tours with no other members of Zep, it is called a Robert Plant tour and album.
Axl please finish your SOLO ALBUM. Than put together the band that made you a star back together.
Scott can go back to STP and two of my favorite bands of all time will be back. Yeah for rock fans.

Slash you are dead for me and I went to see your shitty band in Sacramento, the most boring concert I’ve ever attended to, and apparently not many people is interested in that fucking band ‘cuz only about 2,800 people showed up in a place that holds 20,000, and now you write your fucking biography and go to those shitty tv programs well, fuck you
at least new gnr does good concerts.

Fuck you RS and the fuckturd who wrote this article, Axl will realise it whenever the fuck he wants, and slash well… sad he’s going to letterman now… sad, it’s funny how they always ask him about Axl, I guess it’s the only interesting thing to talk about.

The fact that people, the media especially, are even interested in Chinese Democracy absolutely floors me. What space Rolling Stone does use for discussing ANYTHING Axel in the magazine and on the web site could be saved for more important things, that’s for sure. We’re going to look back in 50 years and wonder why the fuck we were even interested in this jackass and the music he fails to release.

I love how people are saying, “Ah, the new stuff’s great,” like you have a fucking copy of the record. Sheep do amuse me. Yes, I know they played songs live. Big, big difference from live to disc.

And man, the comments by ny78ny. Hahaha. Wow. Hey pal, it’s called elementary school. Maybe someone should have sent you there.

Axls got a mouth full of my nuts right now, and he wants you all to know “Mmmmph mmmph mmph mmmmmmph!!” So there!

Brian Gallagher is a genius. His comment was so true. If axl had that kind of creativity we might still listen to his stuff.

JUST RELEAS THE DAMN ALBUM ALREADY I WANA HEAR IT

u motherfuckers love to hate. dont like the new guns then go listen to fall out boys u fucking homos? and what the fuck do u haters do besides hating u fucking clowns. whats up axl i know u reading this shit u go right ahead and release that album were waiting!!

Axl who?? Guns & What??? Oh Fuck it

I seriously doubt that the stuff Axl supposedly plans to release will be THAT great. I mean, what could he possibly do that will really make the music world stand on its head. I mean, “Appetite For Destruction” was great in its ow right, but it was nothing incredibly special in the grand scheme of things. It wasn’t incredibly original, and it certainly doesn’t hold up to truly classic albums of our time. If we never hear “Chinese Democracy”, I don’t think we’ll be any worse off than we are now.

Axl Rose and his pinched nut vocals are things of the past. He is a douche bag and so are the mullet heads still waiting for his recorded farts…..

Cracker Barrel,

I never said Axl was a genuis. I said he was a perfectionist, or he maybe as is so widely reported. There’s a big difference. All this talk about him not taking criticism well about his music is based off of a story from the mid-eighties that had nothing to do with music that this RS writer decided to take and make into an armchair psychology session.

Ali

Sorry to say DeadHorse, but you are deluding yourself if you think music is made for the fans. Music is made for the artists themselves. They write music as a means of expressing themselves. They don’t do it for their fans.

Ali

talk about axl or whatter you want slash. guy has to sell books and frankly weiland isn’t as interesting as axl. like velvet revolver alot though………

This world just wouldnt be the same for me without Axl and Slash…Comm’on Axl…we need some good music to party on a friday night like the good ol days to

go spread some disease!

You’re on the list!!!
You’re one in a million!!!

hey Ali, they would stick to talking about music if there was music to talk about. Over a decade of no new material except for that crappy song from End of Days is NOT the sign of genius. If you cant take criticism, its the sign of being a puss. And all this sensitivity from the guy who wrote “One in a Million”.

When the first reports said back in the 90’s that Chines Democracy sounded like “Soundgarden meets Nine Inch Nails”, we all should’ve known it was over.

And no one talks or asks about Scott Weiland because nobody cares.

The new songs are amazing, Izzy is cool with Axl, and Axl is a damn fool for sitting on this album for so long.

He’s almost 46 fuckin’ years old. And still sings and performs great.

That’s the saddest part. If he had to tune the songs down a few keys and just stood there and the new stuff sucked, I wouldn’t care.

Truly sad. Hurry the f*** up, Axl.

G n’ R hasn’t created any great music since their first album. What makes anyone think that Axl’s solo project would be good in any way. Who cares??????

When they hear my music and they deride me, I cry. I just want to be loved. Even when I poo my pants or spit in your face, I want you to love me. As hard as I work on my music, I worry about it that much more, praying you’ll like it. Sometimes I wish you’d just all hate me and get it over with.

I pray that Chinese Democracy is released after Bush leaves office. He may take the title as a suggestion for his next foreign relations debacle.
By the way, Axl sucks.

To say that GNR has done anything in the past 10 years better than VR is re-fricking-diculous. At least VR doesn’t screw with its fans and withhold album releases for over a decade. Remember, music is for the fans. Axl Rose sucks. I owe him thanks for turning me into a Velvet Revolver fan…Whether their music is good or not, at least they put it out there for fans and critics to listen to.

The new stuff is great. Miles ahead of Velvet Revolver. Perfectionist are their own worst critics, so nothing you, Mr. Kreps, or any of your colleagues can say will ever be as harsh as what a perfectionist says to himself.

He doesn’t have to prove anything to you or any other members of the media. Instead of this pathetic armchair psychology, why don’t you stick to talking about music?

ummm - axl as brian wilson-esque genius? i’m speechless. that is the dumbest statement ever, regardless of sarcasm.

I love old Guns N’ Roses but this new stuff I’ve been hearing is crap. So it looks like we might just see what he’ll do. A thanks to Slash for giveing us the heads up. Oh ya, if he could take a litte criticism maybe we’d get the old Guns N’ Rose back

Perhaps Slash tells the story about Axl and not a story about Weiland because he was asked about Axl… ?

Dave: “So, how’s Axl doing?”

Slash: “Well, the thing about Weiland, you see…”

wow… that was great, RS. Axl is an idiot…

I love Slash, but isn’t it a little bit sad that he still has to talk about Axl Rose 12 years after the last time they spoke? Why not talk about how crazy Scott Weiland is for a little while?
