Axl Rose Bans Slash T-Shirts From Guns N' Roses Gigs

Well, that much-hoped-for Guns N' Roses reunion keeps seeming more and more unlikely. After Axl Rose, the band's lone remaining original member, sat out GNR's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April (and was booed by ceremony attendees in absentia), he's made it even more clear that he has no plans to make nice with his former bandmate, guitarist Slash. Because apparently not only is Slash not welcome at any GNR gigs, but neither are Slash T-shirts.

According to British music magazine NME, a fan at GNR's May 31 concert at London's O2 Arena, who showed up a wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the top-hatted likeness of Axl's nemesis, was forced by security to remove his shirt at the door. The concertgoer, 18-year-old James Revell, grudgingly abided and entered the venue bare-chested...

Slash was recently on the Howard Stern Show.

Mentioned being in Vegas for a gig same time as Axl.

According to Slash, Axl asked hotel security to stick by Slash, making sure he didn't show up at Axl's show.

The constancy of the Axl-Slash hatefest is a comforting presence in these troubled times.

I'm sick to the back teeth of hearing about these two jerks.

Geez,fellas....GROW UP! This is beyond boring....it's becoming pitiful. Try and act like professionals for once.

I think the big jerk prize would have to go to AXL ROSE.

Axl pretty much takes the cake.

Not Slash.

[Criswell]

I wanna go to a "Guns N Roses" gig with a Slash shirt on for the sole purpose of p**sing Axl Rose off now. He's a pretty awful person.

I think the big jerk prize would have to go to AXL ROSE. 

And Axl may in fact be their biggest seller.....

Somebody stole $200,000 worth of jewelery from Axl in Paris.

Good.

For years I have been of the opinion that Axl Rose is, to put it very mildly, a jerk! Now I feel as though I was ahead of the curve. I'm glad people are beginning to realize what an ungrateful, self centered, narcissist he really is. The whole Rock n Roll Hall of fame thing was the first nail in his coffin and his armor has become even further tarnished with every little temper tantrum he has. You see Axl is too self centered to realize that Slash is for some fans, the most beloved member of GNR. So Axl's banning Slash shirts is a good way of offending a good portion of GNR fans. Nobody else in their right mind would do this. For example: Gene Simmons may not like Ace Frehley but he doesn't ban Kiss fans from wearing Ace shirts or Ace make-up (hell, current guitarist Tommy Thayer is wearing Ace's old make-up). The fans are always going to have favorite members and guess what Axl, it might not be you.

Wow. What an a***ole.

Have you read Slash's book? The man is an immature, retarded a***ole. He talks about cheating on his wife, using drugs, being viloent and causing the death of another musician as if he's just going to get a glass of water . The "man" glorifies nonchalance...

Good point, perhaps AXL has good reason to hate SLASH.  Nonetheless, several of AXL's incidents have had nothing to do with SLASH.  Such as, why punish your fans for wearing a T-shirt?     For them it's not personal.
