A Letter From Axl Rose To Fans And Cleveland

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:00:00 -0700

To: Cleveland, Ohio, Guns N' Roses Fans and everyone who's shown support for my decision regarding the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

I seriously didn't plan on or expect the overwhelmingly positive response and public support for my decision regarding the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. With such a generous outpouring of solidarity from fans, media outlets, writers and other artists, I'm truly humbled, blown away and unbelievably relieved! To be honest, I thought it would go the other way and was just hoping to weather the storm. As I said, I sincerely didn't want to disappoint anyone. It gets old being the outlaw even if "it's only rock and roll".

It took a lot of focus and soul searching to be sincere and informative while making a genuine effort to be somewhat diplomatic. We made, what I feel, are real efforts to learn about the Hall and the Board, spoke as I said with the president and various members, and though I inducted Elton John and Bernie Taupin in '94 saying something to the effect of "I'm learning what the Hall's about..."

I still don't exactly know or understand what the Hall is or how or why it makes money, where the money goes, who chooses the voters and why anyone or this board decides who, out of all the artists in the world that have contributed to this genre, officially "rock" enough to be in the Hall?

This isn't an attack. These are genuine issues I don't have enough verified information on to have more than rough ideas. Certainly not enough information to make any judgments about.

I would like to apologize to Cleveland, Ohio for not apologizing to them beforehand for not attending [the ceremony] in their city. I think they know how much I genuinely love performing there. Cleveland does in fact Rock!!

Now that the smoke's cleared a little, any desperate, misguided attacks have been just that, a pathetic stab at gossip, some lame vindictiveness, the usual entitlement crap, he's obsessed, crazy, volatile, a hater. I once bought a homeless woman a slice of pizza who yelled at me she wanted soup. We got her the soup. You can get your own.

Again: HUGE thanks to the fans and to everyone for the incredible public support. My congratulations to the other artists inducted. And my apologies to the city and people of Cleveland, Ohio. I hope you'll forgive me and we hope to see you again soon!

Keep Rockin',

Axl

Unlike my open letter to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Guns N' Roses Fans and Whom It May Concern this was written for GNR's official website, Facebook account and my personal twitter account and not intended as a press release. If anyone does choose to pick this up as has been done previously I'd appreciate if you'd run in full including this paragraph so as not to give a partial picture, have things taken out of context or to imply or inadvertently give the impression this was intended for other outlets.

GUNS N’ ROSES RETURN TO THE SUNSET STRIP WITH L.A. TAKEOVER

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 08:55:00 -0800

LOS ANGELES, CA Fresh from their critically acclaimed, sold-out-in-minutes NY Takeover and subsequent intimate run of shows along the eastern seaboard, Guns N Roses will be taking over Los Angeles in March with a three-date club run, announced today. Its been 22 years since they last visited the Hollywood Palladium, where they have set their first stop on the LA run on March 9. GNR will make their first appearances two LA music landmarks, The Wiltern on March 11, and House of Blues Sunset Strip on March 12.

Presale for the LA Takeover will begin on Thursday, March 1^st at 10am PT, public onsale is slated for Friday, March 2^nd at 10am PT. For more information on tickets and VIP packages, please visit www.gunsnroses.com.

The continuation of this historic run of intimate shows has been lauded by critics at every stop:

the Roseland show could have happened at any point in the 25 years since Guns N Roses released its seminal first album New York Times

doing it on their own termswith stadium lights and a supersized set list.Lasting through to the end of the set may have been an exhaustive stamina test, but it was worth every minute. - Revolver

Many bands take rare performances like this in unusually small venues as an opportunity to relax and take it easy, performing a far more casual set. That was absolutely not the case with GNR at House of Blues. The band left everything out on that stage in a performance that spanned just about every nook and cranny of the Guns N' Roses catalog from hits to covers to rarities. - Chicago Now

Each one is an epic, and in many ways the complex songs sound better with this expanded line-up of the band - Rolling Stone

wildly exceeded my expectations. Say what you will about Axl, when he's onstage he sings his ass off and gives it his all. VH1.com

GNR pulled no punches, offering an all-out rock assault that included most of the hits fans would want to hear. - Press of Atlantic City

March 3 House of Blues Orlando, FL

March 5 Fillmore Miami Beach Miami, FL
