Title: Interesting tidbit from book "the band that time forgot"
Post by: TIPSY on July 05, 2004, 03:15:39 PM
Last night, I skimmed that book, "The Band that Time Forgot" and I found something very interesting by the author Paul Stenning.

On the page where it says the publishing rights, it says how he tried to get all the GNR members input on the book, but the only one to participate was Steven.  Other people in the GNR circle, like Vicky Hamilton, ex managers, etc., also contributed.

But this is the interesting part and I'll type it verbatim.  It says, "I tried and failed personally to speak to Axl Rose.  It's my belief he does not even know about this book or my interest in contacting him.  If you're reading Axl, then please do and I hope this book sets the record straight".



Who do you think stood in the way of Axl knowing about this book and the author trying to contact him?  I just don't see Axl blowing someone off.  I mean, I would think he would at least acknowledge the person and decline.  Who keeps info from Axl? ???

He's been blowing people off for nearly 11 years, (with a few minor exceptions along the way) and remaining out of public life
as well.  

What would make this journalist any different than any other that's tried to to get him to submit to any extended interview?

Nothing.
