'Axl's fans have given up on him'
By JAMES PUGH | Published: 19 Aug 2009



MOTLEY CRUE'S VINCE NEIL has blasted erratic GUNS N' ROSES rocker AXL ROSE for letting his fans down.

Outspoken Neil's scathing attack on the November Rain star comes after his latest album Chinese Democracy, the band's first since 1993's The Spaghetti Incident, failed to live up to the hype its 10 years in the making generated.

The veteran singer believes GNR's loyal fans have finally grown sick of the band, thanks chiefly to Rose's failure to turn up to rehearsals and perform live shows.

He told The Sun: "For it to fail was pretty crazy after so many years of being recorded. Then the tour got cancelled. "A buddy of mine went to go play guitar for him. They rehearsed for three months and Axl never once turned up. Rule number one: show up!

"He's been doing that for many years. Finally I think the fans just went, 'F*** it - can't do this anymore.'

"You can't be a fan when you can't see the band."

Fuck Him!!!

I read, "the Dirt". At times i like Vince, others i think he's just a posing bullshitter. I mean, he's pretty much talentless - doesnt write his own lyrics, his live singing is pretty aweful. meh, this aint very interesting, and it is from The Sun... hardly credible!

vince neil needs to give up on mcdonalds

Say what you want about Vince but he's exactly right in this case.

a buddy of mine??? as in ashba??

Yup

[Randy B Lahey]

I hope this results in Ashba's firing. Axl won't be happy that Poseur Boy told Vince about Axl's no show at rehearsals. It's time for Axl to either get Bucket, Brain and Finck back or end New GNR for good.

Hes actually got a point, I've noticed people on here that used to be huge fans of GNR are pretty much giving up on them, Persia for example.
Can tell that its only temporary though, when/if the next album comes out, things will be like they were around November last year.

[Pepe666]

axl never goes to rehearsals until the final stage.... or at all
i like ashba but i prefer finck for a million times, now that nin will stop touring if they perform later this year he will be free
(and now we cant blame him for chosing NIN)

"Vince better be careful where he mouths off"

 

[zombux]

he's right. 'F*** it - can't do this anymore.' he's right.

agreed, i could do without Bucket though. It would be better if he came back with Brain and Finck, but even without Bucket it would be fine.

it doesn't really matter who's in the band - Axl proved he can always pick the best guys. but that's not the point - as long as the band just doesn't work, there can be 8 lead guitarists and the result is the same - epic failure.
