AXL ROSE Denies Issuing Press Release Regarding LAX Incident

December 14, 2009

GUNS N' ROSES' official MySpace blog has been updated with the following message:

Axl Rose denies releasing press statement regarding rumored LAX incident. "I did not release any statement or authorize either any statement or anyone to release a statement regarding anything at any airport anywhere. [It should be noted that the original press release from Levine Communications Office regarding the LAX incident also appears on the official MySpace blog, dated Thursday, December 10. — Ed.]

"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.

"[In my opinion] this nonsense may be some type of manufactured or publicity stunt.

"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 with guitarists Ron Bumblefoot Thal and Richard Fortus, gives the night a kick in the pants.

"Hope to see the rest of you soon!!

"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!!"

The band's currently in Seoul, South Korea where the promote[r] was "sorry" to inform them they would not be able to use a helicopter from the airport to the venue as North Korea would "wonder" what it is!!
