 Exclusivo: ex-empresário do Guns N' Roses diz que Michael Jackson foi motivo da separação da banda Em entrevista à Rolling Stone Brasil, Doug Goldstein afirmou que Axl Rose não teria perdoado parceria de Slash com o Rei do Pop

 O público brasileiro se deliciou nos últimos dias com sucessos do Guns N' Roses interpretados pelo guitarrista da lendária formação da banda, Slash, em seis shows dele com o Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators pelo país. 
 
 Sucessos do Guns N’Roses emocionam o público na despedida de Slash do Brasil. 
 
 O Guns segue existindo, mas totalmente desfigurado, tendo à frente o remanescente vocalista Axl Rose, que abriu uma disputa com os ex-companheiros no início da década de 1990 para manter o mítico nome do grupo, culminando com a saída de Slash, em 1996. Desde então, parece improvável que os pilares de “Paradise City”, “Sweet Child O’Mine” e outros tantos clássicos possam um dia tocar juntos.

 Em entrevista à Rolling Stone Brasil, no entanto, um importante personagem da história do desmanche do quinteto norte-americano garantiu que pode colocar Axl Rose e Slash lado a lado novamente. O autoproclamado salvador da pátria é Doug Goldstein, empresário apontado pelo guitarrista como o pivô da separação do Guns N' Roses.

 "...[ Goldstein ] estivera galgando os degraus estrategicamente. Era como um predador numa emboscada. Embora ninguém tenha sido mais responsável pela dissolução do Guns do que o próprio Guns, Doug Goldstein foi um catalisador. Suas técnicas para dividir e conquistar foram um instrumento para a chegada do nosso fim”, escreveu Slash em livro homônimo de 2007, publicado no Brasil pela Editora Ediouro. 
 
 Ainda segundo o artista, Goldstein se aproximou de Axl Rose para substituir o ex-agente do grupo, Alan Niven, e sempre foi “permissivo” com o bandleader, que poderia fazer o que bem entendesse. Rose, inclusive, continuou sendo agenciado por Goldstein até 2002, quando teriam se separado por um novo entrevero.

 Por telefone, o acusado negou tudo e se defendeu. “Adoraria encontrar Slash e esclarecer isso porque a verdade é que nós fomos por sete anos as pessoas que cuidaram dos negócios da banda. Eu dobrei o valor das comissões que eram pagas a eles. Amo Slash até a morte, é uma das minhas pessoas preferidas no mundo inteiro e por alguma razão ele está com essas ideias”, disse. 
 
 Relembre como foi a passagem do Guns N’ Roses por São Paulo em 2014. 
 
 Um dos motivos da rejeição a ele seria o antecessor Niven, que teria chegado ao ponto de contratar um especialista em magia negra na cidade de Nova Orleans depois que foi dispensado do cargo. 
 
 "Todos os dias depois do trabalho ele ia para o quarto, colocava uma capa preta e praguejava contra Axl e eu. Eu estava no Havaí, levando minha vida e Niven surgiu, fez amizade de novo com Slash e Duff [McKagan, baixista original do Guns] e tomou crédito de tudo que eu fiz. Depois, Slash me disse que Niven tentou transar com a namorada dele”. 
 
 
 
 Goldstein também teria levado injustamente a culpa pelo contrato que os ex-membros do grupo assinaram passando o nome Guns N’ Roses para Axl Rose. “E naquele dia meu filho nasceu, a gente não estava nem no mesmo continente, eles estavam em Barcelona e eu estava na Califórnia, eles me confundiram com o empresário da tour porque andavam bebendo bastante naquele tempo e não lembram”. 
 
 A despeito de tudo isso e de uma suposta ideia de Rose de acrescentar um terceiro guitarrista, nada teria sido mais importante para a separação da parceria musical do que um fator que, afirma o agente, passou despercebido pelo público: uma parceria com Michael Jackson. 
 
 "Em 1991, estávamos na estrada, Slash foi até minha sala e falou, ‘estou partindo amanhã para tocar com Michael Jackson em um show de tributo'. Disse para ele não fazer isso porque Axl foi molestado pelo pai quando tinha dois anos e acreditava nas acusações contra Michael Jackson. Todo mundo sabia que Eddie Van Halen recebeu US$ 1 milhão pela participação em 'Beat It'. Então, perguntei ao Slash, ‘quanto você vai receber, posso negociar isso para você?’ e ele disse, ‘eu só vou receber uma televisão de tela grande”. 
 
 "Ele ficou arrasado. Ele achou que Slash iria apoiá-lo e ficaria contra todo o abuso. Do ponto de vista do Axl, esse era o único problema. Ele poderia ignorar as drogas e o álcool (com os quais o guitarrista teve sérios problemas), mas nunca poderia ignorar o abuso infantil". Slash gravou participações em várias músicas do Rei do Pop, entre elas, "Black or White". 
 
 Bastaria, portanto, algumas palavras para juntar o velho Guns. “Slash teria que se desculpar pelo episódio com Michael Jackson. E realmente acredito que pelo tanto que amo a banda eu seria o empresário que os reuniria de novo, não acho que alguém mais poderia fazer isso”. 
 
 Determinado a refundar o ícone do final do século 20, o empresário fez até um pedido à reportagem. “Sou um cara muito amoroso, espiritual e me magoa que em vez de me perguntar como eu sinto e perguntar sobre essas coisas que Niven criou, Slash simplesmente acredite que elas são verdadeiras e me jogue para os leões. Amo Slash como a um irmão, ele é o irmão mais novo que eu não tive, faria tudo por ele. Faça um favor, diga que espero muito sentar com ele onde ele quiser para contar meu lado da história”. 

 Axl Rose and Slash haven't spoken in almost two decades since Slash quit Guns 'N' Roses in 1996. There was always tension between the two, but no one has ever really known what the final straw was ... until now. In an interview with Rolling Stone Brazil, the band's former manager Doug Goldstein says that Michael Jackson might partially be to blame. According to Goldstein, Axl was unhappy with Slash after he agreed to perform with Michael Jackson at a tribute concert. 
 
 "I told him not to do it because Axl was molested by his father when he was two and he believed the charges against Michael Jackson. So I asked Slash, ‘How much are you receiving?’ … and he said, ‘I’ll just receive a big screen television.’ When Axl found out Slash was going to play with Michael Jackson and that the payment was a big screen TV, he was devastated. He thought Slash would support him and be against all abuse. From Axl’s point of view, that was the only problem. He could ignore the drugs and the alcohol, but never the child abuse." 
 
 But Goldstein says that if Slash were to apologize to Axl, there's a chance the band could reunite. "I really believe that for how much I love the band, I’d be the manager to reunite them," he says. We won't hold our breath.
– The mystery behind why Axl Rose and Slash have been on the outs since 1996, when Slash quit Guns N' Roses, may have finally been solved. And it all comes down to ... Michael Jackson and a big-screen TV? Vulture picks up on this tidbit from former GNR manager Doug Goldstein's interview with Rolling Stone Brazil this week: As Goldstein tells it, Axl was molested by his dad when he was a toddler and believed that Jackson was also a child molester. So when Slash agreed to perform with Jackson at a tribute concert, Goldstein warned him not to do it. "I asked Slash, 'How much are you receiving?'" Goldstein recalls. "And he said, 'I’ll just receive a big-screen television.' When Axl found out Slash was going to play with Michael Jackson and that the payment was a big-screen TV, he was devastated. He thought Slash would support him and be against all abuse." Goldstein, for his part, believes all Slash may have to do to mend fences after nearly 20 years is apologize.
