Axl and Slash use to be a team. But now appears as if though Axl views Slash as the enemy.
DEE SNIDER Slams AXL ROSE For Skipping GUNS N’ ROSES ROCK HALL Induction
TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider interviewed legendary guitarist Slash (GUNS N’ ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER) on the “black carpet” of the fourth annual Revolver Golden Gods award show, which took place last night (Wednesday, April 11) at Club Nokia in Downtown Los Angeles. During the brief chat, Dee commented on GUNS N’ ROSES singer Axl Rose‘s announcement that he will not attend the band’s induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this Saturday (April 14) in Cleveland and Axl‘s request to have his name withdrawn as a member of the group he co-founded and still fronts today.
“I’m gonna ask you the question, but I’m not gonna ask you to answer — I’m gonna give the answer,” Dee told Slash. “Someone just [told me] that it’s official Axl [Rose] is not gonna sing at the [GUNS N’ ROSES] Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame [induction ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio], and I said it’s crap. I said, if he can’t put this this stuff aside for an event like that, for a recognition like that, to do the cool thing, and just in respect of what you guys have done, I think it’s totally screwed up.”
Replied Slash: “I’m not gonna comment on all that, but I’ll be there, so…”
In a lengthy open letter posted at GUNS N’ ROSES‘ Facebook page, Rose wrote, “I respectfully decline my induction as a member of GUNS N’ ROSES to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. I strongly request that I not be inducted in absentia and please know that no one is authorized nor may anyone be permitted to accept any induction for me or speak on my behalf. Neither former members, label representatives nor the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame should imply whether directly, indirectly or by omission that I am included in any purported induction of ‘GUNS N’ ROSES.'”
Rose added that the entire situation left him feeling like he was in an awkward position, explaining, “This decision is personal. This letter is to help clarify things from my and my camp’s perspective. Neither is meant to offend, attack or condemn . . . Since the announcement of the nomination we’ve actively sought out a solution to what, with all things considered, appears to be a no win, at least for me, ‘damned if I do, damned if I don’t’ scenario all the way around.”
The singer also reaffirmed that there is no chance of the original lineup reuniting, and seemed to speak directly to fans still hoping for a reunion when he added, “Time to move on. People get divorced. Life doesn’t owe you your own personal happy ending especially at another’s, or in this case several others’, expense.”
In at least a partial nod to his former bandmates, however, Rose wrote, “For the record, I would not begrudge anyone from GUNS their accomplishments or recognition for such. Neither I or anyone in my camp has made any requests or demands of the Hall Of Fame. It’s their show not mine.”
Rose‘s letter seems to have put the final nail in the coffin for fans hoping to see the original lineup perform at this weekend’s ceremony. Speculation about such an event has been rampant since the band’s induction was announced back in December.
Guitarist Izzy Stradlin is also not expected to attend, while Slash, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler and Matt Sorum will be on hand. GREEN DAY will give the induction speech.
Along with GUNS, this year’s class of inductees includes the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, the BEASTIE BOYS, Donovan, the FACES and Laura Nyro.
