Ah. It seems like one of the most famous fueds in music is alive and well. Ever since their dramatic split 15 years ago, Axl Rose has had an axe to grind with former Guns N Roses bandmate Slash. Fans of the band have hoped for years they would put aside their differences for what surely would be one of the most anticipation reunions in music.

Alas, that time seems far off with Axl getting caught on tape recently by a group of fans slagging off the famous guitarist. Axl was approached by fans in what looks like a hotel lounge somewhere in Paraguay, but rather than rip them to shreds the normally agressive singer seemed to actually be enjoying their company.

The fans eagerly asked Axl to recount some of his earlier partying days with Slash, a question he seemed all to happy to answer. “It was great,” Axl said. “’cause he would pass out and piss his pants, and then I would get to be with the girl. So I always followed Slash ’cause I knew he would pass out and I would get the girl. The girl would be like, ‘Ah, he just peed in my bed!’ And I’d be like, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay.'”

The amused fans asked how Slash dealt with it the next morning. “The next day he would just ignore it,” Axl replied. “He says it in his book, like once, but no – it happened every time, all the time.”

Many Guns N Roses fans were excited a few weeks ago when it was announced the band had been nominated for the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. However it appears a reunion with Slash and Axl is as far away as ever. At least for now.
