Axl Vs Slash: Death Before Reuniting Classic GNR |
"In regards to Slash," he said, "I read a desperate fan's message about, 'What if one of us were to die, and looking back I had the possibility of a reunion now.' My thoughts are, 'Yeah, and while you're at the show your baby accidentally kicks a candle and burns your house down, killing himself and the rest of your family.'
"Give me a f--king break. What's clear is that one of the two of us will die before a reunion and however sad, ugly, or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is. Those decisions were made a long time ago and reiterated year after year by one man.
"There are acts that, once committed between individuals, they are what they are. To add insult to injury almost day after day, lapsing into year after year, for more than a decade, is a nightmare. Anyone putting his own personal entertainment above everything else is sickening."

Miley Cyrus Issues Indignant Apology for 'Racist' Photos |
"I've also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, I'm sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context. In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy � It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'"

REPO! Road Tour Diary: New Jersey |
Today, Alexa Vega takes over the role of Repo Road Tour 3 driver- perhaps her most difficult "part" to date. Not because Alexa isn't a great driver. She is. And not because she isn't patient, pleasant, & one hell of a navigator. Alexa's all of these things, and more. But Alexa, poor Alexa, is about to embark on a very long, very stressful car ride in a jeep full of surly REPO! dudes.
January 16, 2009: It's noon. Spooky Dan, Darren Bousman, Alexa, & I, meet downstairs in our hotel's lobby. The snowman from the night before remains, standing tall, just outside of the hotel's doors. It is completely un-melted�in other words, it's still cold outside, really cold. Shivering, the 4 of us load-up our rented car, drive to a local diner for a quick breakfast, then get on the highway for what will end up being a 7-hour drive to Rutherford, New Jersey, the 4th stop on Repo Road Tour 3.
