Metal Sludge The Power and the Glory
Guns n’ Roses & LA Guns having a war of words!
Our logo is better than yours! No it’s not, we have guns. We do too!
Well we have roses. But we have skulls.
We recently did a 20 Questions with original LA Guns frontman Paul Black. That stirred the pot a bit over in the LA Guns camp. We also recently interviewed Mr. Brownstone himself, Steven Adler, which has stirred the pot, the toilet bowl, the fish tank, and the syringe cap too.
Well it’s only January and this year is filling up with Sludge at a record pace.
Now there are some excerpts from an interview Tracii Guns did with the UK based Classic Rock Magazine showing up on the World Famous Metal Sludge Gossip boards.
All this combined has brought an LA Guns & Guns n’ Roses turmoil, feud, and brawl within the brawl to a whole new Sludge level. This shit puts the standard Jani Lane gossip to shame. Adler makes Lane look like monkey shine on the Junior Mints level.
I have to say, if someone named Stillbourne was still hanging around, his head would fucking explode from this shit. I think he use to referance this type of shit as a Sludge goldmine – and that it is. The old days would have the "staff" literally pissing our pants exchanging comments about the fallen heroes of hair metal. Let’s pull up a shovel and see what kind of Sludge we can dig up.
For starters, Phil Lewis has made a few comments about Paul Black.
January 17, 2006
Fact is if I hadn’t replaced him the band would have gone nowhere and he would never recived a dime from LAGuns, Seems that the only people who are intrested in this is LAG fans so I can’t understand why things are getting hostile.
Honestly I couldn’t care less, None of the "Original" guys were ever fired and chose to leave , What makes them all so mad is that we always carry on, defeat the odds and make great music and thats what being true to your band is all about. next subject. Quotes from Phil Lewis
And the following is from Classic Rock & is Tracii Guns talking about Axl Rose.
"He cant feel good about himself right now. Slash and Duff are out there kicking ass. Even I’m kicking ass compared to him. The studio we built is six blocks away from where he lives. I actually sent him a email before i decided to do the Brides saying "Hey man I have a year off, if you need a guitar player to help tour or help finish the record I’ll do it" His assistant emailed back saying "Oh that gave Axl a great laugh" T. Guns
What an asshole. I just wanted to help. I’ve played with some big rock stars and they’ve always been super cool. Nikki is super cool. Jerry Only from the Misfits is super cool. Lemmy is super cool." T. Guns
This interview was obviously conducted a while ago and by the time it came out the Brides were calling it a day. Here are a couple other quotes from the interview courtesy of our World Famous Metal Sludge Gossip Board.
"The easiest thing to do would have been to play in someone else’s band – but I’ve never been that guy." T. Guns
(Cough-Quiet Riot-Cough!)
"I really put my heart into the Brides and I’m not prepared to give that up.
The band’s just too good." T. Guns
Do you think Brides of Destruction will follow in the footsteps of other people like Motley Crue and Velvet Revolver to success? Classic Rock Magazine
"Yeah, I think we will." T. Guns
"I detest Steve Riley. If he was on fire in the street I’d smoke a fuckin’
cigarette and flick it at him." T. Guns
Then we get some ‘amateur insider" who tries to peddle some weak ass shit to the Sludge with the following e-mail.
Dear Mr. Brown-nose,
Your source is about as reliable as Jani Lane on 45 date US tour.
Thank you, Metal Sludge
After a brief exchange with the "Industry source know-it-all" we shot a quick
e-mail off to ol’ T. Guns. Here was instant reply.
Axl never called me,,,,,,,,, that classic rock thing is great,,,,,,,, as far as what I am doin,,,,, I am gonna go play the hits as the tg trio,,,, make some more records with Mike Varney,,,,, and have fun,,,, I am 40,,,, no more drama,,,,,, hahahahahahaha,,
This is actually like a couple of bands having a flyer war on the Sunset Strip. It’s like the Pair-A-Dice name and trademark fight with Paradise. It’s like Rock City News fighting with LA Rock Review and then Hollywood Rocks.
It’s like the Firemans Ball becoming the Policemans Ball. It’s like the people who go to Paladinos and somehow seem confused thinking that Paladinos was actually in North Hollywood and not in Tarzana? That’s becuase that was the Palamino! Not Paladinos.
Okay, so it’s getting confusing we know. Let’s all regroup now.
Metal Sludge
I Sludge, You Sludge, We All Sludge for Metal Sludge
