Here Today... Gone To Hell!

so if you could ask the Ax-man himself one random question to cure a little curiosity, what would it be?


(and please not the obvious, 'when is CD coming out?' or anything as trivial)


personally i'd like to ask him how he got the name madagascar for the song madagascar.

or...

where he would like to see himself in 10 years.


your turn...

Can I buy you a beer?


 :peace:

Who do you consider the best songwritter in The Beatles? Paul, George or John?

If he gives me the chance of a second questions:

Can you make some kind of clarification of your ''rant'' about CD, the extra tracks, etc, at the London Arena in 2002?

Boobs or butts, which do you prefer and why?

Have you ever listening to the album "Exodus" after surfing and are there any sick breaks in the area?



Yeah thats a trivial question since given his complexion he doesn't surf, but hey its what I would ask. Every time I talk to Flea I always talk to him about shit I know about... surfing, diving, sushi, yoga and such. I figure I would ask Axl the same type of questions.

Nice thoughts. I'd ask him what is his favourite dish that he likes to cook....and whether he could please cook it for me.  :P

Why haven't you ever performed "Don't Damn Me" live?

Would you describe Chris Pitman's sound as "funky techno beats" or "super funky techno beats?"

man I just realized I fucked up my question

It should've read

"Have you ever listened to "Exodus" after a surfing session, and any sick breaks in the area?"

After he cooks tea for me, I would ask him if he supports any charity?

what keept you working on cd through all this years?
other people would have given up long time ago.

you say you're in guns n' roses? nope never heard of them.

"After all those years performing, are you still afraid/nervous before you go on stage ? Is there any stress related to the performance ?"

or...
"if you could fuck anyone in the world... who would it be?"
( a typical guy question)

do you even care what the loyal fans think of you?

I would ask the ultimate question, but I already know the answer.......42.

Well, since you ruled out the CD question:

Is TWAT about Steph?

id like to ask him how he is doing.cause im not doing so well.and thought id take my problems away by wondering how he was.and to wish him well in his release of cd.

Do you like Gammon?

Do you wanna listen to my band's demos?

When is the f**kin cd coming out?

Will you ever make your original idea about Sweet Child O' Mine, the one about the baby that was filled with heroin?

Wanna get high ?

When comes the revolution who would you have first up against the wall?

I'd want to know if the carpet is the same color as the drapes?

Will the Lionel Richie/ Shaquille Oneal duet still be featured on My Favorite Pillow?

I had the chance last May at an afterparty.. i only got to ask one question.. it was "hey can i have some of that vodka?". the answer was "yes".
Glad I didn't waste it on "How does the chick die in that video?". hahaha

What were you thinking and how were you feeling when you were composing November rain?

Do you ever go back to the place you called home for 18 years (lafayette) to visit old friends or family, or just to see whats changed since you were last there.

Hows life treating you?
 I mean are you in a good place?
Has all work made it worth while? (And I am not talking about the band. I mean life itself)
If you had it to do all over again, what is the one thing you would have done differently? (in life)
peace out
amyl

Whats a typical 'day in the life of Axl Rose ' when your not on tour?

Did you give Matt a mesage for scott? :hihi:

Over or under?

Wanna smoke this with me? It's medicinal!  : ok:

I'm assuming that the premise is he HAS to answer it. . .


I would ask, "What was REALLY the deal with the Philly concert and the ensuing cancellation of the 2002 tour???   What REALLY happened to cause all that?"

hey you wanna get a couple of 8 balls, 2 razor blades, some acoustic guitars, 4 sombreros, 6 bottles of Patron, 9 strippers, some drapes, 26 bottles of water and then head down to Rosarito and play a 16 hour acoustic set with me??

if he said no I would follow it up with "come on man we can hit In N Out on the way"....

Does this dress make me look fat?  :-\

how about "What's the meaning of life?" or "why are we here?"

Good question.  ;D




/jarmo

I would ask how many hours a day he plays Guitar Hero.

Besides yourself (of course), who was/is the most important present or former member of GNR?

Would you please explain me all the troubles the recording of CD has been into?

Don't worry, I have all the month free of work ?;D

my question is one I have had since 1992.....Why DIDN'T you knock Kurt Cobain out at the MTV awards in 1992??  Axl would have kicked his ass and sent a real message to that arrogant punk.....

Expalin the feeling that you get performing in front of thouands of devoted fans and knowing you have their full attention, does it go some way to correcting the wrongs that you have endured in life?

Or..

Have you ever owned a segway?

Do you ever miss just hanging around, realxin' and talking to BucketHead's sock puppet?

At what point did you decide you would be making yourself LESS accessible to the fans, i mean no TV interviews, No Rolling Stone, ETC.  You used to be on MTV all the time or talking to this Magazine or that magazine.  Would you like to do an interview to set all the records straight?

Fancy a joint?  :hihi:

Why is it that every time a topic like this comes up, a few of you think it's your duty to act like smart asses and post insulting questions?

There's no doubt in my mind that you wouldn't dare to ask him that kind of questions in person.

So stop acting like you would.





/jarmo

I had a funny question,  but apparently we're not allowed to joke around about this. ::)  Since when is this supposed to  be serious discussion.  It's all hypothetical.  jeez

Funny isn't the same as making fun of somebody.




/jarmo

Dear Axl, how many GNR scented tin candles do YOU own?

(http://gnr.netcentrixllc.com/images/products/369_7500181.jpg)














... Sorry, it had to be done.  Either that or something less serious like how he writes his songs.  :hihi:

I'd ask him"WHERE THE FUCK IS MY CHINESE DEMOCRACY :rant:"

.................respectively :)

 :peace:

Can I Borrow one of your cars?

That what I would ask.

I wouldn't ask him anything rude but I would say something funny and totally not related to music. 

I did ask Bono why he got rid of the mullet, which I thought was a funny question.

Yeah, maybe, but... so? ?Does that really matter? ?

An amusing post is an amusing post.  This is just a silly discussion between fans.  No need to get all life-and-death on everything.

Axl's a big boy. ?I think he can take handle a few silly posts in a message forum. ?

I don't think I would  ask him a question, If he were to be standing before me I would just say Hi and let him know I am a huge fan.

But If I had a camera with me I bet I would ask him to take a pic with me.

How do you cope with being two people, bill, and axl ?

Has one taken over the other with time ?

Can you invite me to all of your tours ?

Ya wanna go rip my bong with me?

Seriously, I'd ask him to smoke with me.

If you didn't make it as a rock star, what would you have done?

Do you know where the fuck YOU are? 

Pretty good.

  I'd ask, "Can i have an autograph?"  (on my back, i'd get it tattooed the next day.  or that day, depending on what time it was)

best question yet. what a whiny bitch-ass cocksucker.

Hi Axl... You made someday: GUNS N' ROSES All Star World Tour?

- Izzy Stradlin
- Buckethead
- Paul Tobias
- Velvet Revolver
- L.A. Guns
- Steven Adler

Guest Special:

Sebastian Baz / Motley Crue / Evanescence / Alice Cooper / Whitesnake / Fall Out Boy

HBK *

well it seems to me like he didn't want to deal with the drama that whole situation would have created... i think he's smarter than some people realize!

i d ask him one simply question :

do you wanna have kids someday - is that part of your future plans?  : ok:

i think that at some point it would be great for him to start a family....

"What is your motivation to keep going on with Guns N' Roses?"

"What is the real meaning of Estranged video?"

even though you guys hardly play any illusion songs live anymore, does the new band rehearse any?
if so what ones?

Are you REALLY the head of the Kwik-E Mart?

what's with the dolphins :smoking:

The dolphins were so yesterday.  You should ask him if it's true that the seizure he had at the end of that British show (the one that Baz did PC) was an allergic reaction to the midgets!!!  :hihi:

What?s this?

Have you ever beaten "The Legend Of Zelda"?

What do the signs on the cover of "The Spaghetti Incident?" mean?

simpsons reference. the one where apu moves in with the simpsons; homer wastes a great chance to ask an important question.

its less funny when you have to explain the joke...

Just Kwik E mart is funny in itself  :rofl:

what was the best time that you can remember with the old guys ?

or

if you die on a plane crash with "mick jagger" , "roger daltrey" , "steven tyler" , "bono" , "robert plant".........."batman" , "butthead",
 

 ......and GOD asks .....
who was your partner in rock n`roll ?
who would it be ......robin?? c`mon !!!!!

When you were recording AFD, where did you see yourself being 20 years from then???   :nervous:

Can I have your phone number?

Can I ask you a question?

Depends on what mood I was in at the time....

[Flirty/Daring mood] If you could do anything to me right now... what'd it be?

[Sensible mood] What do you hope happens after Chinese Democracy is released?

[Chilled Out mood] Hey, I have some weed, and no one to smoke it with... wanna come blaze up with me?

This is the question I have been wanting to ask since 87...

Do you want to be my boyfriend?

Ha ha ha LOL :hihi:

I would ask Axl:

What and who inspired you to perform the way you have on stage through the years?

Axl's performing styles are extremely unique and are almost as powerful as the songs themselves.
I still like his performances from the early 1991 UYI Tour (first two legs), though he's always been a dynamic performer

MNW

Haha cool question  :hihi:

[ Jarmo - were you questioning my "Fancy a joint?" question as making fun of Axl.... hope not because that genuinely is what I would ask  ;D ]

No, I know you'd ask that.  :P


I removed the ridiculous posts.....




/jarmo

What are you waiting for?

Nah, we wanna see the ridiculous ones!

They didn't make any sense at alll!

I would probably ask him about the band's performance at Rock in Rio 3; something along the lines of:

What was it like to perform in front of 200,000 people in only your 2nd show in 8 years?

What made you say "(cough) Bullshit" after the first line of the second verse of Patience @ Tokyo Dome '92?

I actually wouldn't ask him when the CD is coming out, as he obviously doesn't know himself.

I'd probably ask him what his perfect pizza is or something casual like that.

"Which came first...Fortus or the egg?"

axl ax axl, why is it so many weird fans rally around you ?  :-\

Why didn't you come to my house last night? I was waiting! :P

If God can do anything, can he make a boulder so big that he can't lift it?

Pitman could.

BBF called Pitman God once.  He said that Pitman could fill in for every member of the band on every instrument at the same time.

I 'd like to tell him that I admire him too much and then I asking him which is his favorite album of an ex bandmates...

His choice is gonna be Buckethead's ''Electric Tears'' for sure  :peace:

I'd ask Axl if he Would  ever play St.Louis? again?

I was thinking in Izzy Stradlin and the JuJu Hounds or Ain't a life grand.....

I would just raise my thumb or something, like: 'yo *raises thumb*'

it's true!! I saw him do it, he played freebird too!

but he fucked up the lyrics.

"Cuz im as free as a bird now, and this bird can't fuckin flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'

whata joker  ::)

Here's something new:

''Axl when is 'Chinese Democracy' gonna come out?''  :o

Right now I'd ask...


"How the hell can I get Night Train in the UK?"

I asked one earlier, but here's another...

"What were you on and what the hell was pissing you off/on your mind when you did 'Perfect Crime' in Indiana back in '91????"

(watch the YouTube clip if you don't remember...good god...scary shit!)

when did you first get the idea of getting dreads, and what compelled you to think, oh god, ive gotta have these

"How'd you get in here?"

Id ask him when the album after CD will come out?

Do you think you will ever feel or experience true happiness

after you release chinese democracy would you consider releasing the versions of the album that got scrapped ( for example more industrial influenced album and anything else that has been rerecorded over the years)

Do you or will you produce unsigned artists ?

how about...
what's your preferred underwear?

gawd, for a sec I was thinking I was reading the Ask Something To The Poster Below You thread... and I nearly answered it... :rofl:

Or even better, you could ask him about braids seeing as he doesn't have dreads.

 :rofl: :hihi:

i'd ask him about love advices

Do you need a full time shoe cleaner?

How much longer do you want to stay in the music business?

What song inspires you the most?

hahaha... very nice  : ok:

I would ask him what made him realize his life could be so much more and how he managed to muster the balls to leave Indiana and everything he knew.

Why don't you play Rhiad anymore? :P

"Are you really Axl Rose?"

I'm aware that I take things far too seriously sometimes and the fact that I've been considering a response to this thread for the past few days only confirms it.  But my dilemma on this one is whether or not I would actually want to meet Axl in order to pose this question.  If I could post it to him, there'd be no problem!  ;D

As some of you know, GNR?s music has been an important factor in my life since the late ?80s and this means that I?ve supported Axl in all his endeavours for the best part of twenty years.  Over this period he?s become someone I hold in high regard and, whilst obviously acknowledging that he?s as human and fallible as the rest of us who?re muddling through life the best we can, it?s still a fact that in my heart and mind I?ve built him up to be someone rather special.  My illusion, if you like, being founded on his music and the public persona I?ve seen at concerts, along with interviews and the testimony of those people who know the private man.  So, the nagging doubt I have, should the opportunity to meet him ever present itself, is whether or not I would be courageous enough to risk shattering that illusion.

Assuming that it did and I was, I would like to think that my question(s) would be inspired by the lyrics to Neil Diamond?s song, 'Hell Yeah', and go something like:

"You?ve achieved great success and many people would be envious of this, but do you think that the price you?ve had to pay in terms of loss of privacy has been worth it and how do you feel knowing that you?ve had such a profound influence on the lives of people who?ve never even met you?"

I suspect that the reality would be slightly different though; my mind would go blank, I?d mix all my words up and have trouble even remembering my name.  :hihi:

I'd ask:

Can you take me to a hospital? Because I'm about to faint.  :confused:

Imagine someone giving that line to a girl.  :hihi:

Oh damn, I need to get some copyright on that one quickly. Maybe it'd be more appropriate if a girl asked Axl that question, because if I did... he'd probably think stuff about me that ain't true.  :hihi:




But if, let's say I was completely wasted and nervosity didn't exist on Planet Earth, maybe I could ask how he developed his unique singing style... because I've always wanted to know.
 

I'll do it tomorrow in school damn it :rofl:

See, I'd love to be ABLE to ask him something that profound... but the thing is... a lot of the time I think of the perfect questions at the completely wrong time... like when I'm JUST about to drift off to sleep... and then when I wake up in the morning/afternoon.... its GONE and I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

That's why getting to only speak to him for only five minutes and maybe even less than that is so frustrating. I'd much rather become his friend and get to ask the good questions.... hopefully the first time they come to mind...

You're absolutely right of course but, for me at least, the chance of that happening is probably 999,999 to 1 (as opposed to a million to one, because it's a well-known fact that million to one chances happen nine times out of ten), so I guess I'd settle for seeing Axl interviewed by someone who really knew their stuff; an hour-long special with someone like Michael Parkinson would be my ideal choice.   :yes:

Yea... 999,999 to 1. *sigh*
Oh well. A girl can dream.

Parkinson would be amazing at giving an interview, but that's because he's 100% non-biased and intimidated by nothing. However I believe Axl wouldn't do it... I wish he'd prove me wrong though.

Hmm... how's about this for a question: Axl, would you ever consider appearing on an interview program such as Michael Parkinson? (or Jonathan Ross... I can imagine that'd be hilarious!)

please no, ross is a dick

:o He is not! He's lovely!

Id ask why the old band just couldnt compromise,? Do two records, one your way, one Slash's way and satisfy everyone?

he's rude, his suits are too paul smithy 90's colored outdated get a life, and he stutters !

Hey Superman, how's Lois?? ;)

Nah, I'd probably ask him "What the hell you are doing here?"

I'd ask him what he thought of the current music scene

Yeah, I'm not sure that at this stage Axl has a high enough profile with the British TV-watching masses for Parkinson to be an option, especially not what I'd have in mind, which would be an hour-long special, like he did with George Michael.  I thought that he did a great interview with him (after that, ahem, difficulty he had in LA) and showed him as someone other than the arrogant dickhead that I thought he was (George not Parkinson, I mean!).  Of course, he's since gone on to confirm my earlier suspicions, but that's not Parky's fault in the least.   ;D

Jonathan Ross?  Hmm I did consider this and, whilst we're in the land of fantasy, let me be greedy for a minute and say that I'd love to see him interviewed  by Wossy, but only in addition to Parky, not instead of.  Even his radio programme would do, if he's still doing it?!  I think we'd get a totally different experience to the American radio shows Axl's been on and, as both of them are very quick-witted, intelligent and have a great sense of humour, I believe they'd bounce off each other and that it'd make for great listening.  The only proviso that I could see would be that Axl would need to be pre-warned of Wossy's interviewing technique (if he isn't aware of it already), and wasn't allowed to walk into the interview blind - otherwise I fear it could become very uncomfortable for all concerned and not the fun experience it should be.

Edited for typos!

What ever happened to the movie "The Perfect Crime"??  You specifically mentioned it at the Montreal show in 1992, then nothing became of it.

If any, what bands does he have signed under his own label?

If not would he consider doing this?

"Were you born in a fucking barn or what?"

Just to see his reaction. Then add a "baa" for emphasis.

do you like to burp real loud when at home drinking beers lol.

With all the speculation that 'Chinese Democracy' was a fictional album that would never see the light of day...did you ever entertain the idea of not releasing it?

Follow up question:

Are you surprised how much attention, speculation, and mockery the making of 'Chinese Democracy' has generated? Did it ever 'fuel the fire' during the recording of the album?

... :hihi: You guys all sound like interviewing journalists... :hihi:

Unique?
He copied Nazareth singers style.

Dude, where can I get some really killer pot around here?  :drool:

I would ask Axl about his use of 3 guitars.  He would know about the musical term 'fat', as a way of describing the sound.

Copied?    ok, so anyone could sing like that?



Anyway, in relation to the thread, Axl? was there any point in time (94-present) where you considered dropping the whole GNR name? you do have a great legacy to live up to.

He stole the style. He has said it interviews himself.

But his voice is original.

I would ask:

What?s the most emotional moment you?ve had on stage?
