Who is responsible for Axl thinking that his shit don't stink?

This I Love was written before Seymour dumped him, so that one's not about her.

Also, since I jump at any chance to post this:

Everly sat for a deposition. She testified that Axl believed that she and Seymour were sisters in a past life and were "trying to kill him." As far as her own relationship with Axl went, Everly said, "Axl had told me that in a past life we were Indians and that I killed our children, and that's why he was so mean to me in this life."

Everly was asked, "Had Axl ever told you that he was possessed?

"Yes," she said.

"What did he say he was possessed by?"

"John Bonham."


Lawsuits flew back and forth. Seymour was charged that Axl had beaten her. Axl alleged it was she who had attacked him. According to Seymour's version of events, after an argument in their kitchen Axl shattered some bottles on the floor, grabbed Seymour by the throat, put her in a headlock and then dragged her barefoot through the broken glass "while repeatedly hitting her about the head and upper body and kicking her in abdomen." Axl's story was that Seymour grabbed his balls and he was just defending himself.


Man, Seymour just loved going for BALLLZZ I guess.


Everly herself claimed Axl sexually assaulted her. She described a day when Axl ordered her to take off a bathing suit she was wearing, after which he tied her hands to her ankles from behind, put masking tape over her mouth and a bandana around her eyes, and led her, naked into a closet, where she remained for several hours while Axl talked to a friend of hers in the living room.

Later, according to Everly, Axl untied her, picked her up and tied her, face down, to a convertible bed. And then, "he forced himself on me anally really hard. Really hard."
Hodges-Knight testified that Axl kicked Everly with his cowboy boots, and dragged her around by the hair one night while she was wearing a see-through tank top and panties, threw a television set at her (it missed) and spit on her. "That pig," she said. "He spit on her."



And why yes, that IS indeed the same Meegan Hodges that has spent the last ten years circling the globe on GNR's dime. Small world, ain't it?
 
I wonder why Axl picked John Bonham of all the dead rock stars he could have said he was possessed by. Hendrix, Morrison, Moon, Lennon, and Brian Jones were all prolific wife beaters. Must have been the picture of Bonham dressed up like one of the droogs from A Clockwork Orange.

After he and Seymour broke up, in 1992, the model began dating Peter Brant. Axl, according to one friend, ordered subordinates to obtain a photograph of Brant's wife, Sandra. Axl intended to take it to Yoda for a specific purpose, according to a former Geffen employee: "Axl wanted to cast a spell around Sandra to protect her from Peter, because he felt that she, too, had been cuckolded as he had been, and he had a great deal of sympathy for her." Seymour, then 26, and Brant, 48, married in Paris in 1995.
ERIN EVERLY (from her deposition): Axl's beliefs were different than mine.... [After my dogs died] Axl believed that he had the dogs' souls transferred [into new dogs].... He said that I wasn't appreciative that he had given me the opportunity to have [our dogs] Torque and Geneva back, and that I should call [the new dogs] Torque and Geneva.

Demo was recorded during the UYI tour between 1991-1993 in Wisconsin, England and Australia according to Dave Dominguez. Wisconsin shows were in May 1991, England shows were in August 1991, June 1992 and May 1993, and Australia shows were in January/February 1993.

Axl and Stephanie got together in mid-1991 and broke up in February 1993. The Warren Beatty rant happened in June 1992, so I'm guessing they were on again/off-again.

Dominguez:

Mike Clink called me and said, “Hey, the producers for this Robin Williams movie are coming down at some point and they want Guns to record a song for it, a song called This I Love. But we gotta find the tapes. I was like, “Okay,” because I guess they had written it and recorded it during the Illusions tour. Because I don’t know if you knew this, [...] Illusions wasn’t finished when they hit that tour, so Mike would fly with them and they would finish it up in different cities. So I remember getting four tapes, one from Australia, one was in England, the other was, like, somewhere in Wisconsin...

So they’d come in and they were from different parts. So when they finally got there, Axl – that was Axl who was really involved with that – said, “Hey,” he called me up. “Hey, don’t you come in?” “Yeah.” So he came in and goes, “This is what I’m looking for.” And I found the... because then there’s always a master tape, which has usually drums, rhythm guitars, bass and a scratch vocal; and then the rest are slaves, which have different parts. So they had, like, three different slaves. He was like, “There’s a certain part of the song that I want, that I really like, so you gotta find the right tape”. So I put it up and he was like, “Yeah, that’s it.” And it was a beautiful song. I guess it ended up on Democracy, but just the title. It’s a whole different song. [...] I remember I listened to it - I haven’t listened to Democracy in quite a while, but I go, “Oh, this isn’t the exact...” Because that was a piano ballad. [...] It was a ballad, it was a really cool song. So a guy, Kenny (?), who I mentioned earlier, who was around at the time, had become, like, my assistant during that, he would come in and he’d help me out.

I’m sure you’ve heard the famous Axl stories about him just being out of control and being, you know, rude, just yelling... Well, I never really got any of that, personally. He always treated me great, and he treated my family great, and he was always awesome. The only time he ever did really get upset with me was during that session. At the end of that song, This I Love, he was repeating the... oh what was his girlfriend? Stephanie Seymour. It was like “I love you, Stephanie” or “This I love, Stephanie.” He was, like, whispering it at the end of the song. And he heard it and he goes, “Just erase all that.” I was like, “Do you want me to back it up?” “No, erase it!” And he yelled and walked out of the room. So Kenny there, the assistant, and I said, “We’re gonna erase something GNR fans are never ever gonna hear. Like, they’re never gonna hear this.” That to me was like, “Wow, this is crazy. This is a GNR song that no one’s ever heard and no one is ever gonna hear this again.” I looked at him, “Are you ready?” And I put the tracks in the recorder and I erased it. [...]

The coolest thing Axl could now would be a documentary about the old band breaking up and his journey into Chinese Democracy. If he would let everyone involved talk they could sell it to Netflix and create interest in the unreleased material and future touring.

Just hand all the Use Your Illusion tour footage to Peter Jackson and let him do what he did with the Beatles and Get Back

A 7-hour documentary showing all the backstage nonsense with Axl refusing to perform on-time and Duff devolving into alcoholism would be wild

"Oh My God" is the only song with decent lyrics that aren't just Axl rambling about being a victim of infidelity or band members leaving him, and that's because he was forced to write about a movie plot

Guy's brain broke in 1993 and never recovered - he only reconciled with Slash because NewGNR's future was playing bowling alleys and county fairs, and that wouldn't have provided enough money to keep his fantasy world alive

And the retarded lebeis clan like Vanessa travelling around the world.
 
This is the same Axl who when Meeghan was in Slashs backstage room during one of the reunion shows had to switch her phone off as soon as Axl came into Slashs room.
Word was Axl doesnt like phone videos or photos of himself being taken without his permission.

Well I don't either. That's not unreasonable. Especially when he's in the presence of a woman that testified in a court of law that he's a wife-beater and a "pig."

His songwriting sucks.

He hasn't composed a decent song since the Illusions era, over 30 years ago.

All of the CD era material is this cringe worthy, self obsessed, nursery rhyme, garbage, with a self important belief in his own profound insight.

There is nothing profound about it at all though. It's embarrassing shit.

All the songs just labour along, mired in bad production, awful synthetic sounding vocals and worse guitar parts.

Even the song titles are trash.

Izzy was right to walk away from this shitshow.

Id like to know what sort of reality he lives in with the leech family he has that guard him. Especially with the negative reviews on his singing.
 
Beta probably told him the recorded audio all over youtube has been distorted by the souls of those two dogs he failed to save or some shit.
 
I think Axl is going to set it up in his will that his estate will be bequeathed to the reincarnated version of himself. Basically what the Buddhist’s do when the Dalai Lama passes. That’s what the Kundun movie that inspired the lyrics for Chinese Democracy is about. Be interesting to see whether or not Fernando finds the reincarnated Axl inside a Brazilian McDonald’s.

Considering how close GNR were to playing bowling alleys and becoming irrelevant during the new gnr period, you would think Axl would have developed some humility during the initial reunion.
Been like Gene Simmons with a " give the fans what they want" mentality, live albums, videos, dropping new studio music etc.
2026 NA tour tickets selling might adjust his humility when tickets fail to sell.
I blame Beta and the rest of her retarded family for guarding him like a 5 year old.

This I Love with Robin solo is the most streamed cd song on spotify. Robin plays the end solo on the wav Monsters. Neither Robin solo on This I Love or Monsters is junk. Many say Robin's solo on Monsters is one of the greatest solos they've heard since Use Your Illusion.
 
I do want the Use Your Illusion tour videos, just to see Axl at his most batshit insane wanting people to sniff for vibes and shit.
