Axl Rose: The Extended Interview

[inlikeflynn420]

Cool interview (other than some lame tired questions, but Axl's responses even made them cool).  Always love it when Axl breaks the silence.

I'd love to hear the "the songs in the can"..might be some real gems in that treasure chest or should I say fortune cookie.after all TIL was added as a last minute or was it continuos pleas from Robin Fink..

[Dr. Blutarsky]

definite maybe would be a good name for the new album 

[cineater]

Wonder when that interview was done since they are saying happy new year.

[JDA]

Definite maybe, nice.

Cool interview, Axl should have been a lawyer the way he handles some of the questions thrown at him 

[Buddha_Master]

Great shit. On a personal level two things are a bummer. 1) I wish Axl was Vegan. Someone as thought provoking and displays a spiritual understanding and writes about compassion yet contributes to the absolute tragic and heartbreaking practices of factory farming is disappointing to say the least.

And 2) as a big time Batman fan The Dark Knight Rises was terrible. A superhero who really only was a superhero for maybe 2 years yet has all this damage done to his body from a fight with Ras, Joker and then some dogs. Then retires. Fights were shit and fuck me was there some terrible plot holes and fight choreography. Superhero retiring after only being a hero for a couple years. This was no Batman I have ever seen before and hope to never see again.

[rebelhipi]

[One.In.A.Million]

definite maybe would be a good name for the new album 

Oasis beat them to it!

When I first read that, I did actually think I wonder if Axl's been listening to some Oasis recently...

Awesome interview! I wish Axl had said that his favorite movie was TED!!!

[JAEBALL]

Really cool interview ..awesome to hear him speak !

a few thoughts i had

1. sold out arena show in the USA? ha that cant be true...

2. he goes off on these rants... and i admit..  he loses me.. ha he uses big words ! and the way he describes how Slash wanted to go this 3 year tour to take advantage of him and destroy him at that time... he may feel that way.. but i just dont buy that....maybe Slash just wanted to tour to tour and make money and play music ? and waht about the other guys.. what was their reasons for wanting to tour?


3. his constant lateness.. i agree with a prior post that said i wish they wouldnt ask him about this anymore, but if they are going to ask , and hes going to answer it.. i wish he would ju
st say it is waht it is... the long answer he gives... dude you are never going to be on time, and thats ok !

and 4. i do think he comes off as a real genuine guy tho.. while i or somebody mgiht think hes a little spacey... i can sense that he truly believes what hes doing, whether people agree with him or not, he doesnt care...and thats cool.. and why we all think hes the best frontman ever

Great interview !
I only wish he picked the "No Comment" choise to the loooong asnwers and answered a few more questions !  It looks like that the nowdays lineup actually is the true Guns N' Roses.If Axl is so devoted so are we.

I wish fans, media , band members everybody would stop saying anything about this being the Real guns N roses....

legally... yes of course it is... but its......who cares anymore, whoever plays music (and the list is long) with Axl Rose will be called Gun N Roses

Good interview, but I wish Axl would change his tune on some things.  "Definite maybe" doesn't sound too good considering Bumblefoot's recent talk.

I understand Ron spoke about no album as regards the current band getting into the studio. I guess both Axl n' Dizzy are talking about songs already done such as Atlas Shrugged, The General, etc.
I hope they do release more material from the Bucket/Robin/Paul/Brain era just like CD before doing something completely new with the current line up (anyway I guess they would be all around the record with a rerecording here n' there just like CD).

And... where's the remixes from CD! I wish it's released someday !! And the original booklet too.

It's important to translate interviews like this to as many languages as possible because many fans can't read in english. Besides, we're not talkng about an exclusive interview for MTV or the cover of Rolling Stone magazine so many people won't even know about this which is a shame because the truth is out there, just like many other interviews Axl gave at the last years, not to mention the chats with the fans. I wish this material was more spread around the general worldwide media.
