Official Axl Rose & band Twitter thread

[Phanatic]

I can't tell you guys how excited I was last night when I found out about his account. I clicked refresh on his page for hours. I thought it was a dream.

Also maybe he could post his rants on Twitter and not have to do it during concerts.

I prefer the live rants version but whatever. It's just another sign that things are changing now... Cool.

[dman1991]

Yeah another update. I really am in shock.

From Axl

Seoul, S. Korea!! Fantastic energy w/the fans! They really took over KOHD. Hearing'em singing along w/Better was a surprise! It was fun playin' Sorry live n' my bad not goin' longer. A few mixups n' gear needed 2 ship but it feels good sortin' out the sheeot. It's such a different animal in the heat of the moment n' gettin' into our reformulated chemistry! 1st indoor gig w/new staging! R in-ear mix was like listenin' to an old AM transistor radio somewhere between bein' in a barrel of toxic waste at the bottom of the ocean or while takin' a "dump" in a tin shitter while a pack of Zombies r beatin' on it with iron pipes! Ha!! Soon as we can stop ingesting this Korean BBQ (Shoutout 2 the 2Jens!!) it's on to Osaka, JP where we got r own brand of KamiKaze 2 unleash!!

me thinks Axl and twitter could be great for fans

i dont think he gets the whole 40 characters thing. still, it makes a change and even tho i cant be arsed with twitter its nice for axl to be able to directly contact his fans.

Axl rocks, if I understand it well... no more sorry?

[mooney]

i dont have twitter nor care for it, but Axl's updates are quite amusing so far! like someone said above, strangely, Axl and twitter seem to work!

[Phanatic]

The way Axl types is sooo funny and soo confusing to me!
 I hardly understand him because he starts with one idea and then seems to trail off into many different topics and stuff!

"R in-ear mix was like listenin' to an old AM transistor radio somewhere between bein' in a barrel of toxic waste at the bottom of the ocean or while takin' a "dump" in a tin shitter while a pack of Zombies r beatin' on it with iron pipes!"

And it's even worse when he's pissed off...

But it's cool, I at least get the gist. :/ :p

[DeceivedByVirtue]

This is really a good thing for Axl. The best idea in a long time. Now he can be unfiltered - just go direct to his fans. I hope he drops into a groove with it. It could be quite entertaining not just simply informative and insightful.

He needs to get verified though so people that aren't as familiar with his voice as we hardcore fans are will know it's him not an impostor.

A pic would be cool too... but hey at least he's communicating not just hiding out and laying low as usual.

by deadxsouth - Lets not shit ourselves here.  Del is doing the posting.

Normally I'd be right there with ya in agreement. I figured the same from the first two posts, but it's clear now that it's not Del.

Del's writing strength is that he writes crisp and clean. He's a minimalist that would have no problem with the need for tightness.

To use a "Guns" analogy: Del is like a sniper. One perfect shot with no splatter. Axl on the other hand is like a disgruntled postal worker armed with a Tommy Gun.

You're both wrong. Ever wondered what Paul Huge is up to these days?

[GnrJanus]

Paul huge is in a rockband somewhere in LA I think
someone dropped a myspace link. a year ago or (something like that)

Del's writing style is horrible. Axl's similes are outstanding.

I think it's great that Axl is engaging with his fans in such a positive way.
