Hey all i have been reading and visiting this forum for just over a year but this is my first post. Just thought I would let you all know that there was a two page article on Axl Rose in the Sunday Telegraph today. The Sunday Telegraph is a Sydney newspaper. Basically the article is about How Axl Rose has wasted $17 Million. It was an article that has already been posted on here before which was a report by Mick Wall and at the end it mentions the book WAR: W. Axl Rose, The Unauthorised Biography by Mick Wall and will be released in May.

Too bad I'm in country Victoria.. I haven't seen a single article on him in the Herald Sun or anything, yet... I mean fuck, this is one of the biggest bands in the world we're talkin' about..

It was a very negative article though towards him. But I guess thats Mick Wall for you. It had pics of him from the MTV Music awards in 2002, Old band photo from the very early times, an old Axl photo from late 80's, pic of Slash, pic of Stephanie Seymour and a pic of Axl performing in Budapest last year. But good to see that they are in the public eye now even in Australia. Publicity is publicity. Only reason I bought the paper was because of this article.

Yeah, I think I read it elsewhere.. Unless he did it specifically for that paper?

Nah I am pretty sure it wasn't written just for this paper. I am sure I read it from a link on here sometime late december. But still good to see an article about Guns N Roses. 2 pages of article as well! Seems very rare in Australia.

It was probably the same one that was in the Mail on Sunday here in England, just Mick Wall trying to promote his book.

In some shit magazine about the demands of the stars there were these two lines about how Axl always wants roasted lamb in his dressing room or something.

And they had a picture from last years tour

They're always gonna be in the back of everyone's minds as 'the band that wrote Sweet Child' so to me, they're still one of the biggest.. GN'R will never be forgotten

Have in a lot of minds and a generation grew up without them

The Spaghetti Incident? · « **Reply #10 on:** January 08, 2007, 03:57:49 AM »

I see your point.. But I find that alot of the fans of the new band are around my age somehow.. 16

Well, that's what it seems like, anyway.

yeh true, ryanrose, stop being negative, one second your saying gnr will never sell 15 m copies, the next your putting gnr down?

you got somethin stuck where the sun dont shine buddy?

RyanRose · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2007, 04:45:58 AM »

Nope its called being realistic. If it was 199-1996 it would be a different story. Maybe your too young to see that

Gunns · « **Reply #13 on:** January 08, 2007, 04:52:01 AM »

nah i aint to young to see that, I understand, but now when we are closer then ever, and a full year of touring, and a letter from Axl for proof,

you just now start to complain? Pretty funny how you probably didnt complain a few years ago when the signs weren't nearly half as good as what they are now..

Doesn't sound like im the young one....

RyanRose · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2007, 04:57:01 AM »

Nothing wrong with being critical. If I couldn't then I would not be a fan. I have not been complaining about the new album so I don't see how its impending release has anything to do with it

The Spaghetti Incident? · « **Reply #15 on:** January 08, 2007, 08:15:08 AM »

Well, either way I think we can all agree GN'R will grow 100x when Chinese Democracy.. If they don't, Joe Public will get a good foot up his arse~

exactly, you can't say they're anywhere near the popularity of the chili peppers, and they wont be until CD is released.

i read that article, seemed like a lot of it wasn't true
like the part where they said axl owned hundreds of snakes and lizards and he had crats of uzis and submachine guns in his mansion

RHCP blow arse, I get the feeling with Stadium Arcadium they won't be taken seriously all too much anymore...
