SAMMY HAGAR OFFERS TO LET AXL ROSE SUE HIM

Friday, October 28th, 2011 at 10:30am by

Here’s a fun quote from a recent Sammy Hagar interview with Attention Deficit Delirium. Discussing the possibility of a reunion of the original Guns N’ Roses, Hagar says:

“They’ve proved it again and again and again that it ain’t [about] the money. They just don’t get along because Axl goes out for a lot less money with his version of Guns N’ Roses, and Slash goes out for a lot less money with Velvet Revolver or by himself. The amount of money they could make if they got it all back together, made a great record and toured the world would probably be as much as the Rolling Stones [get], and for them not to do it, it obviously ain’t about the money.

ANYONE GOT FOURTEEN GRAND AND A STRONG DESIRE TO BUY ME A PRESENT?

Over the weekend I read a story on Blabbermouth about former Guns N’ Roses manager Alan Niven selling his MTV Video Music Award “Moon Man” statue for the band’s “Welcome to the Jungle” Best New Artist award. The company now re-selling Niven’s statue is asking a mere $13,500 for it.

Since once upon a time a reader very generously bought a pretty bitchin’ Warrant shirt for Vince, and this piece of memorabilia from a band I am inexplicably obsessed with is only $13,430 more, I thought, hey, it worth a shot.

P.S. Not that I think that any of you are actually that nuts, but just in case – please do no actually purchase this item for me. That would be crazy and I would honestly be a little frightened. Unless you’re a really hot girl trying to prove her love for me, in which case, have you considered just sending me naked pictures?
