If only the rest of them could see how important they were to the gnr sound & song quality... listen to Chinese Democracy.. OMFG... .Tyler Durden wrote:I agree that obviously Axl was an integral part of GNR...but given what he was trying to do to the rest of the band, I am dumbfounded that they let him completely take over things on paper. Reminds me of what happened with a certain other band.nausearockpig wrote:I can't imagine GnR with someone other than Axl as the vocalist would be very successful... and we know how well a band that has conflict between members goes.....Tyler Durden wrote:I'm familiar with the bend's history. My point is, when Axl tried to basically blackmail the rest of the band, why didn't they say "fuck you" and fire him or take him to court?Juana wrote:He threatened to not do the Illusion toursTyler Durden wrote:Yeah, I never understood why they didn't just outnumber him and fire his ass in the early 90s (or just disband without relinquishing control).Essence_Smith wrote:I know its easy to say & a tough position for Slash and co to be in, but the other original members are to blame for Axl being able to cash in off the name...they caved in and signed over their rights to it years ago ensuring that Axl would always be able to cash in and basically set him up for life off a tantrum and threats he made...
all adds up to a fuckin' situation....
