The Guns N ‘Roses never wanted to hunt Axl Rose

The former manager of Guns n ‘Roses, Alan Nivenwith the memory he made an almost 40 years leap to restore once and for all the truth and silence the rumors that the band would have taken into consideration to replace Axl Rose.

Here is what Niven a The Hair Metal Guru said: “This is a bullshit that has been propagated and used by Gold Swine for years, but it is a carved liar. This is reality.”

He then proceeded to explain why this rumor was born. “It happened in Phoenix at the airport, Axl had presented himself for the second concert. There was a revolt. A couple of cars were burned. It was not nice. They were not an established band that can afford to get away with this kind of thing. We need the support of a record company and we need people to say: ‘Yes, we will bring them on tour with us'”.

Alan Nivenwho was manager of the group from 1986 to 1991, explained his role in the matter. “I had the band sitting for breakfast and I said that if they had decided to go on with another singer, I would not have left them. So, the day after the Phoenix flask at the Celebrity Theater, my frank declaration to the band was: ‘If you decide to find another singer, I will not let you go’. I didn’t say: ‘I got rid of Axl’. No. That was my task.

Niven was fired from Axl Rose before the two albums exit “Use Your Illusion” (Read the review here). The breaking point with the manager took place when the singer of Guns n ‘Roses He refused to complete the records until Niven had been replaced and some members of the band supported him to avoid further conflicts.

Some time later Niven once described the assignment as a favor by admitting that the management of Guns n ‘Roses He was partly guided by despair. “No one else would have liked to deal with them. Literally, I was not the bottom of the barrel: I was under the barrel. It was despair.”
