Guns N` Roses frontman Axl Rose has actually released a press statement stating that he has not released a press statement.
Following the incident where a paparazzi photographer crossed the line last week at Los Angeles International Airport while Rose was enroute to Taipei, a statement reported to have come from Rose appeared on the GnR MySpace page.In an update that that post, this new post has now been published. "I did not release any statement or authorize either any statement or anyone to release a statement regarding anything at any airport anywhere,” he said.
It would appear some newbie is the Rose entourage was responsible for the post. “We had recently began working with newer individuals in management in relation to our current Asian tour in support of our Guns N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy" in addition to Irving Azoff's though as it happens we are once again touring Asia without management of any kind,” Rose said.
He does assure us that the incident was no stunt. “IMO this nonsense may be some type of manufactured or publicity stunt,” he says.
“We're looking forward to performing in Osaka and Tokyo Japan doubling our pyro show and with our "new" full stage as local requirement have limited us on its use in our last performances”.
“Thanks to everyone who's come out to see us. It's been really fun so far and the addition of our new guitarist Dj Ashba joining us along w/ guitarists Ron Bumblefoot Thal and Richard Fortus, gives the night a kick in the pants”.
“Hope to see the rest of you soon!!”
He also left a parting jab at the media. “And to any publications running this; please feel free to tack on whatever negative agenda supporting nonsense you generally do (You know who you are!!). After all it's only someone else's livelihood you media police state, no fun, spoil sport, communist bastards.
Peace!!"
