the life of a rock star!!

[discobiscuit1]

glad to see that Axl was keeping his feet on the ground and not acting like a wanker. Izzy said it best when he said something like ' he became all hollywood and I thought your just trailer trash from Indiana'. Im paraphrasing, but what type of guy wears that crap. Symptomatic of what was to come....or more to the point what wasn't.

Who is Chris Cornell?

[duga]

It was four albums and the songs usually have more complex lyrics than other pop and rock artists.

Do you actually like rock music?? or are you just a cult of axl fan?? or is this a joke??

even then the teleprompter thing was silly. How often were GNR throwing rare songs into the mix?? they played pretty much the same setlist give or take 3-4 songs for 2 years. Axl managed it fine before he started getting all uppity, and 99.9% of bands with many more albums manage just fine. It was indulgence pure n simple.

I mean 'welcome the the ummmm .....and Axl has the nerve to slag Izzy for supposedly being so stoned he couldnt play guitar live when he cant even remember his own songs. (funny how Mr stoned Izzy played  and recorded just fine solo)

GNR lyrics hardly ever follow a regular song platform i.e. verse-chorus-verse-chorus-verse.  As well as it's not often that he will repeat chorus lyrics.  If you look at a print-out of most of GNR's song lyrics you can tell that they are very long compared to other songs.  I absolutley see him using the teleprompter.  He is also not the type who can cover-up lyrical mistakes like other performers can.  If Axl misses a line, the crowd will know it.

Maybe the type of guy who's a performer and wants to give the fans the best "show" he can?

"And he just walks by and goes, "Hey, bro!"?...? Does that sound like it was coming from someone being a "diva"?? IMO, it sounds like one artist acknowledging the presence of another artist while he was going from point A to point B at the venue.? Now if Earl woulda tackled that guy and cold-cocked him, that woulda been another story!?

I'm "just a cult of Axl fan" ...? I didn't/don't know who this guy is either and I didn't read the rest of this Q&A. ?It says in the beginning part that he's the frontman of Audioslave and I know that Audioslave just released a new album ... so maybe that's why they were talking to this guy?

"Grunge Icon"?

   Shame on you. 

Axl did get pretty high on his horse, but hey, he was at the top! 

[John Daniels]

even then the teleprompter thing was silly.

I think it wasn't bad for Axl taking 100% sure that everything goes well and every single word goes how it should go. It could be a little bit silly but when he was on stage, he was professional so what's the harm? The guy gave many awesome shows with that damn teleprompter..?

I mean 'welcome the the ummmm .....and Axl has the nerve to slag Izzy for supposedly being so stoned he couldnt play guitar live when he cant even remember his own songs. (funny how Mr stoned Izzy played? and recorded just fine solo)

what are you talking about, Axl did his job and Izzy didn't do his job in some shows. Axl could sing but Izzy couldn't play..that sounds pretty clear case to me.

I am, so shut up.

[Skeletor]

    ...Nice article! About the teleprompter, as said before, it was simply a backup - anyone who's seen Axl live knows he doesn't exactly just stand around and read from it

[F*ck Fear]

While watching bootleg videos and seeing Axl live in 2002,I can tell you,that most the time,he doesn't even look at those teleprompters.

QUOTE:? The other thing was that you were not allowed to be in a hallway or anywhere where Axl might see you when he was walking between the dressing room and the stage... unless you were Chris Cornell.? END QUOTE

"unless you were Chris Cornell"? ... sounds to me like it was this guy who was high on his horse ?

Who is Chris Cornell?

? Shame on you.?

I'm with odd1 on this one ...

Was he somebody else back in 1992?? NOT the Audioslave frontman?
Why was he so special to be allowed there if nobody else was??

[Cornell]

Chris - they don't know what they're saying! 

Chris Cornell was the frontman for Soundgarden before Audioslave.

Who said "except for Chris Cornell"?

[GypsySoul]

Chris - they don't know what they're saying!?

Chris Cornell was the frontman for Soundgarden before Audioslave.

Thanks Cornell.?
_{but I know as much about Soundgarden as I do about Audioslave.? I saw Axl's name in this article so I posted it.}?

Who said "except for Chris Cornell"?

I think HE did?? The way I posted it was the way it's written in the mag ... like with all the same punctuation?

[Eric]

It seems like everyone who tours with Axl has something bad to say, gets old. Now he gets bashed for saying hi and the way he dresses. Wow.

[Slashisthebest]

Sounds like Slash n the boys made a good decision leaving if thats really wat Axl was like.  A lil over the top ya think?  I think Axl kinda lost it which eventually lead to be a part of GNR's downfall.  I know ppl are gonna hate me for sayin that but i realy dont care.
