As Chinese Democracy struggles to sell copies, many place the blame on both Best Buy’s lack of promotion and Axl Rose’s reluctance to be interviewed. After last night, strike Rose’s silence from the blame game as the Guns n’ Roses singer took to a pair of Gn’R message boards to both answer questions and engage in flame wars with fans. Rose kicked off the interview in the most Rose-like way possible, as evidenced by this exchange, via the MyGNR forum:
Fan:
Imagine you post on the Britney Spears fan forum. Now imagine the son of Britney’s maid posting on the forum and everyone gushing over him because of his association to Britney. Nevermind that he never posts anything notable and is generally annoying.
Axl:
Might as well start here… You’re a little **** and since you’ve been posting you’ve pretty much always been a little ****. Blind accusations and insults by an anonymous coward and whiny shit stirrer aren’t impressive or needed by anyone. Everyone else…talk with your administrator. Who wants to chat?!!
