Axl Rose Lashes Out on Message Board Over Slash Ban Rumors

Last month when Guns n’ Roses’ tour of Canada began, a rumor surfaced that the band was banning all Slash-related merchandise from Gn’R’s shows. Shirts featuring Slash were reportedly asked to be turned inside out and top hats were allegedly barred from the Canadian venues. The rumor, which was reported by TMZ, turned out to be false, but over at the MyGNRForum, some fans — one in particular — continued to perpetuate the myth, forcing Axl Rose himself — under the user name “Dexter,” which he has used before — to make a rare online appearance to lash out at the fan with his trademark vitriol.

“What the fuck do you know? That’s right! You don’t know jack fucking shit you fucking ignorant, know it all, fucking deluded, misguided, self important, self righteous, pious, small minded, clueless, loud mouthed, arrogant cunt,” Axl wrote in response to one poster who claimed to have the name and phone number of a security guard who could corroborate TMZ’s “No Slash” story. “You’re not a fan or a voice of reason… you’re a sick n’ diseased mind spilling it’s bile over the internet.” Ouch. You can read the entire chain of events over at the MyGNRForum, Rose’s post appears on Page Nine.

In more positive Guns news, at the end of Axl’s post he promised “Surprise gigs comin’!!” According to the New York Post, one of those surprise gigs will take place at New York’s Rose Bar in front of a scant and ultra famous crowd of only 100 people as part of Fashion Week.

Axl Rose Hints At 'Surprise Shows,' Blasts Fan Online

According to The Pulse of Radio, Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose took to both Twitter and a fan message board to hint at some possible "surprise gigs," thank fans on the group's recently completed Canadian tour and blast the administrator on a fan forum. Rose said on Twitter about the Canadian run, "That was insane!! And I mean that in the absolute BEST way possible!! We'll take a few days 2 regroup n' jump in2 the next thing. Thanks 2 everyone 4 coming out, hope u had fun!! We had a blast!! Can't wait 2 see u again!!"

Meanwhile, in his obscenity-laden tirade against a fan forum's administrator, which touched on recent reports that Rose had banned anyone wearing a Slash T-shirt or top hat from the Canadian gigs, Rose called the person on MyGNRForum (where Axl posts under the name "Dexter") "garbage, plain and simple. You're not a fan or a voice of reason . . . you're a sick n' diseased mind spilling it's bile over the internet." And that's about all we can print here.

Rose did end his rant, however, by writing, "For the rest of you... Surprise gigs comin'!!"

Guns N' Roses has already announced a new set of South American dates, beginning on March 7 in Brazil and ending on April 1 in Ecuador. There's still no word on a tour of the U.S.
