quotes from the show (they were all seperate interviews)


Matt -

Teddy working on VR demos

Maybe bring a keyboardist on next vr tour, will be Teddy if it happens

Matt called axl a few times, never calls him back (laughs about it)

Axl thought he hated him, he doesnt, patched up when they met a few months back in the club.


Teddy -

There was no other singer like axl rose
 
still a good friend with them all

Teddy reasurring vr are together if anyone doubts it

teddy thinks it too late for CD. He's very honest and still good friends with them he just thinks it's too late


Also Mike Chlasciak talks about the tour and Axls after parties and Axls reappearance etc...

Thank you very much brother.... : ok:

sweet, thanks!

thanks : ok:

Anyone tell me the highlights? I'm working and don't really have the time to listen right now. Is it worth getting?

Yes, it's always worth it...

Yeah and they guys from Talkingmetal say Chinese is in last minute mix,mastering right now and the album will be out this year,they have contact with Santuary and maybe AXl will be on the podcast.

That Bumblefoot track...  :hihi:

I thought it was pretty cool! In a weird way. Good guitar playing!

Im still listening to the whole podcast though.

"the guys from Talkingmetal say Chinese is in last minute mix, mastering right now and the album will be out this year, they have contact with Santuary"  :o :D

Cheers Origen.

Ironic that Slash and co. hated the keyboard/piano thing on the UYI, and in fact Sorum in particular. Not rock 'n' roll enough, or some such crap.
But Teddy Zigzag is a cool guy. Met him after an Alice Cooper show a few years back. Bullshit about it being too late for C.D. though. Hey, everyone said Meat Loaf was too late when he brought out Bat Out Of Hell II. It went to number one in 50 countries and sold 15 million.  8) Chi Dem will almost certainly do the same.

huh.... what is that? is it an e-mail?

woo!

Where is this from?

Im downloading the Talking Metal thing right now.. it takes time..

Well according to Slash, he hated the backing band used for the UYI tour, when he was the one who put the backing band together. ?So, you know... if Teddy's parts are used and they do take him on tour with them like Sorum said they're considering, expect a complete denial that they'd ever said anything of the sort.

What? sorry, you've lost me. Was I being long-winded? ????

I was thanking the guy for the summary, replying to:

I'll go ahead and throw a thanks at you for this too. I've never used one, but now might be the time to start. Thanks for the link!

Thank you!  ;D

Thanks.. you just saved me a few hours  :peace:

Thanks for the interview recap guys.

Personally I think Teddy is wrong. its never too late for good rock and there is such a lack of it these days that i think we really need a band like GNR and bands like that to fill the void.

Wow, these Talking Metal guys are huge GN'R fanboys just like us! LMFAO. It'd be cool if Axl went on their show since they're giving him such mad props over and over and over. And naturally, I agree with y'all that Teddy Zig Zag is wrong. If Velvet Revolver can put out an album of unoriginal wannabe Appetite For Destruction style music and sell 3 million copies (while being considered a big success mind you), then Axl and his Guns can do the same thing if not "BETTER"!

Christ these guys voices fukin grate on me.

Fuck Teddy Zig-Zag, worthless fuck.

i always liked teddy zig zag. Now that iv listened to the whole thing it just makes me sad to hear matt and teddy talk. It makes me mourn for the old days.

So, for all the people they have to question, they had to pick Sorum and ZigZag to comment on Chinese Democracy's imminent release ?

What does Sorum has to do with anything ? Fuck, it pisses me off.

What's with the piano ?

...

I think he played in GNR once.

Jezus fuckin' Christ guys...




It's really really sad that some of you guys keep on comming back on the "what's with the piano" remarks, keep bringing back the "I hated the backing band" comments and keep dissing the people that brought you fuckin' A class rock music to begin with. People's minds change, they have every right to do so, without being dragged through the mud for it. It's what grown-up people do, they re-evaluate their opinions and change them when necessary.

Personally, I think the backing band on the UYI tour was overkill, and a lot of the UYI were overly bombastic with keyboards on almost all of them, but on some tunes, a piano or keyboards can make the sound a lot better, as long as you don't use it all the time.

I'm pretty damn sure that's what Matt & Slash were thinking at the time of their comments, so don't blow all of this out of proportion for your own distorted agendas.

You know what I meant, he has nothing to do with Chinese Democracy (thankfully)

And he was very happy to comment about Axl's music choice in the VH1 'Behind The Music' thing, wich was not a long time ago.

I mean, why not talking to someone who's in the band instead of those people ?

yea he was on the illusions tour 15 years ago.  ::)   I dont see how it related to Chinese Democracy at all.

And yes Slash and Matt are complete hypocrites.   But thats neither here nor there.

cool podcast.  I loved their Chinese Democracy stakeouts.  These guys are as hardcore as the rest of us.  :smoking:

So Teddy Zig Zag said its too late for CD?? :nervous: We all better just pack it in and give up. :rofl: This guy has no relevance whatsoever. They should have just asked Tracy and Roberta what they think about CD.

Thanks for the link. Downloading right now.

 :rofl: Wonder what ever happened them?

It think the idea behind having a couple of ex-gunners being interviewed was to get an insight into what Axl/GnR would be thinking/doing at this moment in time with CD and how they might do things differently. If Slash or Matt had said CD was too late then that would have made a splash (only a little one ) and caused a bit of a stir.

The thing about Journalism is that more often than not the interviewer works from a script that leads to a exclusive scoop for their employer and would sell loads of extra copies.  Good journo's know the subject, they've done proper research and can ad-hoc questions when the script is deviated from and get things on track, this interview was more of the former.

Interesting to note the mixing thing though, along with BBF getting a mention on gunsnroses.com as a band member, he's getting an opportunity to stamp his signature onto a song or three.... If that info is correct of course. If it is then clearly the new Guns will be initiated as legit band members, rather than Axls backing band, good news in my view.

Maybe their minds did change.  But their comments made it come across as it was all Axl's idea, and they said all along that they didn't like it, but Axl made them do it anyway.  When it was Slash who put the backing band together himself.

I don't have any agenda, thankyou very much, just a functioning memory. Did anyone deny that Slash and the old group were integral to the songs we love? I never even dissed anyone - I said it was ironic, which it is.  And I wouldn't claim to be 'pretty damn sure what Matt & Slash were thinking' either. Put that telepathy to good use and tell us when C.D. is coming out.  ;)

For the majority of the interview he talks about VR and their project, it is the interviewer bringing up GnR not Matt. I'm sure Matt would rather talk about current issues and not have to keep answering questions about some band he was in 9 years ago.

My favorite part was the Teddy remarks about it being "too late" for CD. Really? And it's exactly the right time for Jack Blades, Alice Cooper or any of those other names he thought he was cool for dropping?

You can download the whole episode in mp3 from www.talkingmetal.com , no need to create YSI links or anything like that...

I would recomend you guys to download the guns stake out episode... great stuff. Talking Metal's the best podcast ever, specially when they read listener's letters. There's one guy called bert gabriel that always has the funniest opinions about GNR.

BTW: Bumblefoot MIGHT be on the 102 show or 103 ( the next 2 )

hahahh i love it. great post man.. i'm gonna give up too in light of these comments hahah

Tracy and Roberta feel it's too early for CD.

LINK??? (Obviously sarcastic) OH HOLY SHIT!! First Zig Zag now Tracey & Roberta?? The odds are SO stacked against this band!

Any word on the girls of the 976-HORN section?? Hopefully at least they think there's still time!

Haha...the only reason people even mildly know who Teddy is???......he toured with GNR for 2 and a half years.....all of a sudden this guy thinks he is Yoda....I don't hate the guy but he seemed a bit pretentious there.........HEY TEDDY, PUT DOWN THE CHOCOLATE DONUTS AND GO EAT A SALAD FOR ONCE.......there are a million piano players just as good if not better than you buddy..... :yes:

I would hardly use that rational as a reason to get down on the guy when that exact same comment could be made about an entire set of musicians everyone around here is pretty high on.

Maybe you disagree with what he is saying, but alot of people past and present would be unknown to the general public were it not for touring with or being associated with the band.

Haha....the Yoda comment is priceless.

Teddy played the piano? What did Teddy ever do, on the live in Tokyo DVD's Axl was the only person in the building who knew who he was.

Why does nobody ever force Duff to talk? Surely from a few months in 1997 he knows more than everyone on that Podcast put together.
