Wow, the media whore attenion seeker is now entering into the charity market.
Now im just waiting for the moment where he can make some dumb ass comment about the current gnr,
just to publicize himself even further, and if we are lucky, he might even give us an update about a new singer hes found for a band that no one gives a shit about.

Slash doesn't give a shit about the current GN'R. and to be realistic, few people do.

VR has maaaany fans so yes people care about the singer.

do you get paid to show him disrespect and bash him?

do you get shown loyalty for a band that has been looking for a new singer for months now?

And judging by all the positive reviews for chinese democracy on rockband 2
Even from all the nu gnr haters, I think it will be safe to say,
Gnr will dominate the general public from now on  over velvet revolver.

Velvet revolver are finished, Scott made that band what it was, and even though it wasn't much of a band when Scott was in it, it will always be better then hiring some no body trying to imitate Scotts voice on the ol'e vr um.. 'classics' (if you want to call them that)

but let me know next year when Velvet Revolver updates their forum with any news in regards to the bands status

i waited more then a decade for Axl, so i think i can wait for Slash for a couple of years at least.

when VR gets new singer and starts making albums [aka = when the band is active again.] and GN'R starts touring we'll see. Axl & Slash have equally many fans and Axl has way many more haters then Slash, so i'd say Slash is more popular in the publics eyes.

Velvet revolver are finished,

wrong

Scott made that band what it was,

wrong again Contraband's material was mainly written by Slash, Duff, Matt & Dave and that album sold million copies, and then Scott wrote much of Libertad and that album didn't sell shit. i'll admit that he draw STP fans attention to the band, but Slash & Duff & Matt being back together was what made most of the fans.

and even though it wasn't much of a band when Scott was in it, it will always be better then hiring some no body trying to imitate Scotts voice on the ol'e vr um.. 'classics' (if you want to call them that)

they don't play many GN'R covers, (in fact i have only seen It's So Easy, Brownstone & Patience) so i doubt that they'll play more then just FTP and Slither and DLT on their next tour since Scott ain't there.

but let me know next year when Velvet Revolver updates their forum with any news in regards to the bands status

will do.

(the VR forum are kinda boring though. it's like a VR office but not VR community and the admin is a dick. i go there every now and then just to check what's happening with Slash, Duff & Scott (he still has his own section there like the other members) and they keep up on the GN'R & STP section too so it's nice.

but i like how people rarely if ever seem to hate Axl there. they get pissed when he bashes Slash but they don't bash him to start with)

[Iconic Shawn]

Gunns.. Not sure where you get off criticizing any band when you're a Gn'R fan these days.

Its like the pig in the straw house, telling the pig in the stick house that his house is shit.

Lets see what VR does after all of its members are done with their side projects this year.

Lets see what Gn'R does in 10 years.

~S~

[alix-rose]

i think that now that CD is out, Axl wont wait as as long for the rest.

[Coma_Rose]

Personally, I think charity donations should be anonymous.

[axlrose4eva]

Well really the only reason anyone gave a fuck about VR was because it was Slash and Duff. Scott brought something to the mix that will be hard to replace but seriously what was up with Libertad?

[Beautiful Disease]

Slash did many many charity things in the past, in present and will do in the future, it's nothing new. So no, he's not entering into the charity market. It started with the 'Children Of The Night' show in 1990...

No need to freak out or to call him a media whore, really.

i think they can be but not necessarily have to be.

Is there anything can do right on these boards lately? He's doing something for charity - more money will be made for said charity with Slash's name associated with it, that's hardly a bad thing.

The anonymous thing... yes i agree, if your donating money directly from your own pocket then fine, dont tell the world about it... As i understand, Slash is donating something for auction - the idea of an auction is to present something interesting and worth bidding for - what's gonna sell, and thus make money for charity... some random bags, or some random bags that Slash designed, signed dor whatever the deal is? some people here need to grow up lately...

Yeah, but the point is he's donating pieces of art so people will go 'oh I want to buy something hand made by Slash so I'll spend more on it' therefore the charity gets more money.  If instead a charity says 'here's a little cartoon drawing, who'll give me £10,000 for it?' I don't see them getting much of a response.

I'm actually quite sickened by the fact that people are criticising Slash for this; where the fuck do you people pick up your logic?

[SuperMunkey]

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with charity.
Ok, so you don't like Slash.
But it's just plain immature to critisize him when he's doing charity, let's be realistic.

yeah, didn't realise it was an auction thing.
in that case my point is valid but totally irrelevant to the discussion.
