Slash In MOJO Magazine - June 2008: " AXL, Chaos & Me "

[L!VE FREE!]

Where's that quote from?

The Bible. Proverbs 18:2, if memory serves.

I love Slash. I love when Slash used to be in Guns N' Roses.
That being said Slash is an asshole and a liar.

You know what I find interesting? How Slash lies about what he did or didn't say, then
he is exposed as a liar, yet people refuse to vilify any of his actions. Yet when Axl is late for
one or two shows, it's "AXL ROSE....MADMAN....ALWAYS LATE...RIOT-STARTER....etc".

"A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but delights in airing his own opinions".
That pretty much sums up the negative press that Axl's been getting for the last 15 years and
as a fan of the man's work, it's disgusting.

The fact is that Slash isn't in Guns N' Roses anymore. He helped Axl make GNR great, yes,
and I would have liked to see them work things out. But they didn't. Now there is a new lineup
but they rock just as hard and are in many ways a reinvention for a new generation. That's why
"Chinese Democracy" will be a success. At the very least it'll be a new band putting out incredible
music that will be loved by tons of fans and most likely garner great reviews by critics. There were
a lot of critics who were silenced when they saw Gn'R play blowaway shows in 2006, others loved the
new songs but felt they needed a couple of changes, others at the least said it was way better than VR.
It will reaffirm the strength of the human spirit and show what's great about music and show what we've
been missing since Gn'R was last at the throne. That's what I think and hope for the band.

But Slash's veiled insults won't do him or anybody any good. He still thinks that he is "in the know",
but he's not. He's clearly bitter and hasn't moved on. Axl is more honest and direct about his anger
and frustration, while Slash is a snake in the grass.

I'm not saying Axl's completely right or Slash is completely right or whatever. But Slash isn't in
the band anymore and he needs to move on. And if he has any chance of becoming friends with Axl
again that's going to take a lot of honesty and humility on his part. On both of their parts. But it's
hard for Axl to trust someone who is negative and deceptive all of the time, and that's why it's not
happeningDOT
