Slaxl - Tumblr Posts
do you ever just start crying because you realize that axl, slash and duff are literally friends??? i mean, after so many fucking years they’re... friends???? yeah it gets me right in the feels
am i embarrassing for looking forward to february just to (hopefully) see slash wish axl a happy birthday? i feel like a simp.
you know what i love about slash’s and axl’s friendship? it doesn’t matter how much they’re fighting, slash refuses to let anyone badmouth axl, not on his watch, no ma’am! it’s like ‘i can make fun of him bc he’s my best friend, but i’ll fuck your shit up if you try the same.’ classic best friend behaviour
thinking about opposites attract slaxl today... chill and laidback softspoken slash and his diva high maintenance bestie with mood swings
howard stern in an interview in 2007: you have a bigger penis than izzy?
slash: we're around the same size
stern: axl had a small penis i read
slash: uh, ehh- *waves hand dismissively*
"with axl, it was tolerable. with scott, it was like i'm not going through this again for YOU" - slash about the difference between axl and scott

the reason why they recorded the song "why i don't have you"? oh okay. oh okay.
his singer
does anyone have that video of axl lying on a bench and slash going "is something wrong with axl?" i need it
axl: fuck you slash. i know what that little dedication's about. i love you too.
thinking about how obvious it is that slash holds and has always held a lot of love towards axl (and vice versa) if you dig even a little deeper into their story. you'll see people saying "oh but they didn't even like each other have you heard what they've said about each other" and it's like yeah they were slagging each other off for decades but that's not because of a lack of love it's because of the abundance of love. betrayal and distance can only hurt you if you loved that other person very deeply. like slash said himself there's a bond and it hurts even worse because you're forced out of that. he never did any of that shit with anyone else, say scott for example, he was just relieved he was gone, end of story. meanwhile he tried going up to axl's house drunk, tried to go see his show, sent him xmas cards every year etc etc etc.
we don't get a lot of documented slash/axl interactions anymore because axl doesn't want to do interviews and slash refrains from really talking about him in any personal way which i think is very respectful of axl but also shows slash is a very private person. that doesn't mean he doesn't care or that they're not close these days.
this is mostly just me being annoyed at people who lack critical thinking skills and believe saying things in interviews out of anger equates to actual hate and that they were never friends in the first place. people take slash's book as an example which again is funny because it was written while slash was still feeling some kind of way and obviously is going to say all kinds of things to distance himself from axl and downplay their friendship. he failed btw like why would you mention soulmates in the first place lmao.
bottom line, yes they loved each other, yes they were friends, yes they still loved each other even when they were beefing because intense feelings cause intense fights and if slash really never gave a fuck he would've washed his hands off axl ages ago, instead he tried his hardest to keep guns going and up until his last day never wanted to leave. there's an interview from like his very last year in guns where he's asked if he's leaving guns bc he was doing his solo thing and was obviously angry at the axl situation and he was genuinely confused like why would i leave i wanna make music with guns?? so like. he was wanting to go to the very end despite everything until he literally just couldn't anymore.
soulmates with a very intense history.
