Axl Rose was talking to a few of the fans that he has left in Paraguay and he told them a pisser of a story about his former bandmate Slash, “It was great, because he would pass out and piss his pants, and then I would get to be with the girl. So I always followed Slash because I knew he would pass out and I would get the girl. The girl would be like, ‘Ah, he just peed in my bed!’ and I’d be like, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay.’ The next day he would just ignore it. He says it in his book, like once, but no – it happened every time, all the time.”
Axl better send Slash some of his last name, you know Roses because if I were him I would be worried about the Guns that are on the curly guitarist if the two were to meet again.
BTW if you think about it, Axl is saying that the girls didn’t want him, the lead singer, but the guitarist instead? I think in a way he dissed him self more than how much Slash pissed in his pants?
Slash was doing an interview with Entertainment Weekly and he sang to them what the chances are of ever hearing any of his Guns N’Roses songs on Glee. The curly haired rocker said, “Actually, we got asked about that once already but it got turned down. In the current climate of what’s going on in entertainment these days, I try to be more optimistic than negative because it’s really easy to get negative about it, but I draw the line at Glee. Glee is worse than Grease and Grease is bad enough…. When Grease came out I was like, ‘Oh, c’mon, give me a break.’ Actually, I look at Grease now and think: Between High School Musical and Glee, Grease was a brilliant work of art.” He so has a point! Sadly, but true.
Ryan Murphy Don’t Cry about it, some other band will gratefully Welcome their music to the Jungle of your show. Just let GNR Live and Let Die because Chinese Democracy sent the band to be Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.

Slash was performing in Milan when a fan suddenly attacked him. After the incident Slash spoke to IHeartGuitar.com and he told the writer what happened.
So what’s with some jerk tackling you on stage the other night?
Now that all the facts are out, it was just some drunk guy who got on stage. It doesn’t seem like he had any ill will. What happened was, he came up behind me, and he’d managed to get up on stage and my security guard came up and tackled him, not knowing what this guy was necessarily capable of or whatever. So the real melee was the tackle (laughs). He basically deflected the guy off of me, and somehow the guy had managed to be hooked onto my guitar, which I let go of, all in a split second. They went off the edge of the stage, my guitar hit the ground and I picked it up and continued playing, only to find that it was broken, so I had to switch guitars and finish the song. It turned out to not be that big a deal, but you never know exactly what it could have been.
Luckily the guitar and Slash are OK. I love how calm he was after the attack, in true rocker fashion he was like, whatever. If it were me I would have run off the stage crying like a little girl if that happened to me.
At two different concerts this month Axl Rose has threatened to end his show because water bottles were thrown at him. At the first show in São Paulo, Brazil at the beginning of March he told one fan to stop or he would end the show. But over the weekend in Lima Peru he brought out a translator out to express his wishes. According to NME he made those fans wait an hour before the band came out which could be why they were throwing stuff at him, or maybe they thought he looked thirsty. I am thinking it could be the first reason. This is not the first time that Guns N’ Roses has been late coming out on the stage, maybe if Axl Rose respected his fans, they would respect him and not throw stuff at him? Afterall it doesn’t seem that their opening act, Skid Row is having things thrown at them…just saying. But I have to admit it is not cool to throw anything at the band…well unless it is underwear or flowers!

Just when I thought that Chinese Democracy was the worst thing Axl Rose would ever do, seeing him all sweaty like that might have topped that. For two nights Axl Rose performed at different events during Fashion Week and with all that sweat showing off his beer belly was anything but fashionable. And what is up with pants? I would think he did a Fergie, but they are too wet for that…I think??? So gross.
UPDATE: I was so fixated on Axl Rose’s sweat that I missed that there is a teleprompter with what looks like to be lyrics on the floor in the last photo. I wonder if the Guns N’Roses frontman is forgetting the words to his own songs and that is why it is there? How sad would that be?
