The latest stories making the Internet rounds are that people who show up at Guns N Roses shows in Slash t-shirts are being told to take them off or leave. I guess that's one way to up your merch sales.
Frankly this whole feud between Guns N Roses just sucks. It sucks that they couldn't put aside their differences for one night to be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame, it sucks that Axl apparently hates his former band mates so much he can't stand the sight of them on a t-shirt and it sucks that everyone has to walk on eggshells around him. Grow up!
Reading some of the Guns N Roses books gives you some insight into why Axl is the way he is. He was subjected to a hell of a lot of abuse. And no matter how much of an asshole he is, there's no doubt he's a super-talented creative genius. The more I listen to the Use Your Illusion albums, the more convinced I am of this fact. However Axl needs to realize that a lot of Guns N Roses fans are Slash fans. As much as I love DJ Ashba, Guns N Roses peak was back when it was Axl and Slash.
If Axl wants to hate Slash, fine. But don't take it out on the fans who love both Slash and Axl.
