Here Today... Gone To Hell!

We did a great interview with Ozzy on Talking Metal.

Vegas was a blast but was really, really busy for us. We got interviews with the guys in Ozzy?s band too. Bam gave us a cool interview also. Hung with Punk Legend Casey Chaos. Met Josh from QOTSA.

AND I won 300 bucks playing blackjack!

My wife and I have been staying down in central Jersey with family. The daily commute to NYC is killing us. Traffic is so insane. North Jersey and NYC is so packed with people it blows my mind. Hope to move into our new house soon.

The next people i hope to get on the podcast show are Lars and Axl?

I am also trying to get us a new sponsor.

coming soon to Talking Metal - BAM!

with there relationship with bumble and frank maybe its possible  : ok:

^ by the way this was posted on marc strigal's blog

HAHAH yeah right

why not dig up Elvis and Jimi Hendrix and interview them while theyare at it.

Never happen.

At this point I dont want to hear anything he has to say unless he is singing it.

^ would be cool to have another extended interview like eddie trunk one though

If he has more cool stories to tell like the Eddie Trunk interview then I'm all up for hearing it!

I don't think John and Mark were thinking that one day they'd interview Ozzy when they started.

I also don't think Eddie Trunk was expecting to interview Axl as he went to work that day last year.

So never say never....





/jarmo

yea i think the talking metal guys are great and it would be awsome if axl came on

there interviews with frank and bumblefoot are always great

all i can say is "good luck!"

In the right enviroment I could see it happening.. nothing serious as axl tends to avoid those questions.

These talking metal dudes are right on target as far as media access in 2007 .You don't see Mtv interveiwing anybody , thats for sure .And where is axl anyways he sure did drop off the radar since january of 2006

if that happens then i'll definatly listen :D


:peace:

Best of luck...I'll look forward to the day....Perhaps Bumble put in a few good words to Axl about what John and Mark are up to.

Same here, I'd definatly tune it. I'd love to hear a new Axl interview, especially if he drops the bomb on us... :hihi:

yeah this would be awesome :D

Especially seeing as that interview wouldn't have Bas interrupting every five seconds  ::)

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to talk shit about the guys at Talking Metal. I think they do a great job and give us a quality product for free each week.


BUT ...

I doubt they'll get Axl on the show. Which is too bad, because they could do a really great interview with him. They are a couple of metal fanboys who get the live the fantasy of hanging out with these guys from time to time. But at their core, they are just metal geek Axl-fanboys ? just like the rest of us. That?s what makes their show great.

However, the show is kinda going down the ?Well, lets thank our sponsors, did we mention our sponsors, what do our sponsors think about this, by the way our sponsors are, go visit out sponsors on the web, buy out sponsors? stuff, our sponsors are great because ...? road. Some of the recent episodes have felt a little like the ?Go Daddy.com Plug Podcast, with some mention that we?re drinking ginger ale and Zima and something about metal.?

Bach had a lot to do with the Eddie Trunk though right? I don't think one of Axl's first comeback interviews will be on Talkin Metal. Maybe way way into the future after CD has came out and made the rounds for a few months. But they arent gonna get any kind of exclusive sit down. If they did that would be an amazing accomplishment but I can't see it happening.

would be cool to get a new interview from the guy. I personally haven't heard one since the one on the radio back in 2002 or something  :hihi: I'm a bad fan  :-[

I love talkingmetal.com  :beer:  :-* I'd poop my pants if you get axl on the podcast good luck  : ok:

These guys have been nothing but supportive to the band, so if anyone in this world deserves an interview with Axl, it would be them.

But I believe that right after the release of the album Axl will wanna tell the whole story, so that might happen with some big magazine, like Rolling Stone...

Still, these guys could do one hell of an interview with Axl... I really dig their podcasts... They sound like they're having a good time.

It'd be great if it happened, but it probably won't.

I can't see this happening either, prove me wrong Axl!  :hihi:

we need an interview an now would be perfect.

If they can get Sebby Bach to do an interview with them on talking metal,
then Sebastian Bach could mabye duo with axl in the interview, and say "dude" 2450 times...

But seriously, Bach could persuay axl into coming on with him...

That just cracked me up!  :rofl:!  :rofl:!  :rofl:!

There is really nothing for Axl to talk about right now, so there is no reason for him to do an interview. Hopefully in the future that changes, but until then I don't seem him talking anytime soon.

The same can be said about you, but that doesn't stop you from posting now does it?

 :P


/jarmo

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 Jarmo mate, that might be just one of your funniest Jokes ive ever heard from you...

f'king classic dude...

*quick aswell*

 :peace: :peace: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Im writing that one down

That is very unwarranted Jarmo, I am disappointed in you ?:crying:

You know what I mean though. Any interview with him right now will quickly evolve into the taboo topics that will cause him to probably hang up on the guys, and then people will be calling him an asshole and what not.

I was just throwing in my opinion that until he is ready to get the ball fully rolling and actually talk about things actually relevant to Guns N' Roses that it is probably best if he says nothing at all.

What's there to talk about? he's going to be singing for us soon!

Whatever Axl says in interviews, there's always people who didn't get the answer(s) they wanted.

When he doesn't say anything, people still want him to say something and then we're back in what I mentioned above....




/jarmo

Those my friend will forever be called Axl haters  :yes:

yet there're many of us who'd appreciate any new interview with axl or any GNR member.
If you don't like that, don't read.


Good luck to talking metal guys. : ok:

That might have something to do with the fact that Axl reglarly misleads people and intentionally gives ambiguous answers so he can't be pinned down on anything.  Then people have to debate it to try and figure out what he means.

Like the whole Slash/Beta midnight visit thing.? To hear Axl tell the story, he spoke with Slash.? But after getting Beta's clarification, we find out that he never talked to Slash.? He worded his statement in a way to give people that impression.? If accuracy and clarity was an issue for Axl, then his initial comments on the matter would have been more like this... "Slash tried to come talk to me, but I sent Beta, my personal assistant, out to deal with him.? She told me that Slash said..."

Axl said tentative and it wasn't clear enough...  ::)

It's like Bumblefoot says, some people over analyze every single word.

Apparently everything has a hidden meaning....




/jarmo

People do overanalyze every word.? But when the fans only hear from their favorite rock star once in a year, I can understand why any comments -- even a little one -- becomes a big deal.

I don't think Axl realizes how much his art has touched his fans.? After fifteen years of embarassment and disappointment, they're still supporting Axl.? He should make some efforts to acknowledge that.? But I think Axl's annoyed by his fans.? Shame that the cycle he perpetuates only makes it worse for him.?

Yes, everything ! Even your avatar means you're a big fan of Eminem !!! ;D

It's not just about Axl.

It's about every member of the band and the crew.


Anything they say can be twisted around into meaning something else.




No.  :P

It's not my fault that pic came up on Google when I searched for a nametag.  :hihi:


/jarmo

Does your name hint one of unknown songs, lucs?


we? You and several of others.
to most people the description in the legal press release was enough. It never said they talked to each other directly.

Only those who wanted to believe otherwise read something that wasn't said. typical.

It's still suggestive, something the camp is very good at.

They released and worded that statement with very conscious intent.

But can you recognize the cycle it creates -- Axl comes out with his intentionally ambiguous statemnt about the event.

Then Slash comes out with his -- which is equally inconclusive.

Because they're both trying to play retarded word games, it creates a debate among the fans. ?Some people like Axl more and use it as an opportunity to call Slash a liar and a dirty, manipulative schemer. ?Some people like Slash more and use it as amo against Axl.

If these guys would just be HONEST and OPEN about their careers and their music, there'd be a whole lot less rumor and speculation. ?

That's just my feelings on it though. ?These guys have awful, retarded PR and they intentionally try to mislead people to frame themselves better. ?They have every right to do it. ?But when that leads to speculation, I don't have a lot of sympathy for them.

Normal bands give interviews and talk to their fans.? Normal bands don't baracade themselves away in a mansion for a decade, paralyzed with paranoia about everything from the media, to former bandmates, to their fuckin' fans.? It's crazy business. ?

Result = normal bands have to live with a lot less shit than Axl does.

For what?
If anything I'd imagine axl didn't want to mention beta there in case there should be some people stupid enough to bitch about her.
you read wrong meanings into it. that's all.

Guns N Roses is and has always been crazy business. Americans can't never realise that Axl & boys don't do this for money. They don't calculate their careers with dollarbills in their eyes. They do (and have always done, ever since 1985) what they feel like.

Yes, I personally am very frustrated with waiting and yes, my friends start laughing at me when they hear "This is The Year". But I'm not bitching at internet cause of that. What good would it do ?

There are lots of easier bands around, like Fall out boy or Take That. They act like they're supposed to. Try them.

MotherGoose, this is not aimed personally to you, it's for every one who first whines for an interview or? statement, and when that happens, cries why Axl said THAT and didn't say THIS.

We don't know the details so any motivation on his/their side is speculation at best.

But do you really think that statement came out of nowhere? No agendas, no nothing?

And yeah, I read 'wrong' meanings into it at the time, like everybody else. Wonder why.

By Americans you mean a majority of the planet right ?

I could care less if Axl would talk about CD or what club he was at last night.  Just make it happen!  :drool:

amen to bigblue.

@ Jaakko ggood shout, thanks. you saved my time. :P
some americans can realise that, I think. and many non americans can't either.


Again. It wasn't everybody. I wonder why you like to think everyone is the same.

Well, no. By Americans I mean the people of USA. People who calculate here how Axl should do so he could make the most income of his products. People who try to figure how Axl could pay record company back that legendary 15 million dollars. People who care more of marketing than band itself.

Back to topic, It would be cool to hear again Axl's thoughts !

'Most' then. I remember the thread, I actually read it again not long ago. The mood was very clear.

But of course it wasn't crystal clear due to the ambiguity of the statement.

I'd still like to know your take on why they released it.

which would be speculation at the best.

because they counterclaimed and the original claims were already known.

Lets move on from off topic. ;) you want to hear some new interview don't you?

There's a real easy solution to the problem of overanalyzing what Axl says:  just don't.  Take what he says at face value and don't read into it more than is there and don't jump to conclusions.  The problem is reading into what he says beyond what is written, then getting pissed off when your assumption of what is being said "between the lines" doesn't come to pass.  Just don't even head down that speculative path and there will be no frustration at the end.

Ali

^^

Yeah, that's one way to handle confusing, intentionall ambiguous, miseading statements.

Here's another way to handle them -- Axl could just quit making them.

I would ask him if the reason CD hasnt been released yet is because he reads threads like this and gets such a bad headache that he needs to just go lay down for awhile.

So he'd better shut up then, bet he hasn't thought of that before

He tried that for a while.  Didn't seem to stop the speculation

True dat!!!

Or he could act like he is in a band, write some songs, and put out a record?

no act but actually he is in a band, has written songs and is putting out a record. I haven't heard otherwise.

To the people who think he should shut up?...
please do us a favour and don't listen to/read his interview if there is any before...you have the thing you've been waiting for in your hands, perhaps.

I hope you are right, but we have been hearing about a new record since the real gnr broke up, and as of today, still nothing. Not slamming you, or axl, just stating facts.

lookz like the natives are gettin restless again.is it mutiny now?against axl and what's not being said.oooohhhh myyyy wev'e been here before.lookz like i need another beer to deal with this.shame that is.

I don't see why either of them, or any other entertainer or media personality, should be expected to be "honest and open" about any aspect of their lives behind the scenes. Firstly, they should be afforded the same privacy you'd grant any stranger on the street. Secondly they aren't in the honesty and openness business, they're entertainers. To paraphrase W.C.Fields; Why be honest when, with a little effort, you can be entertaining? In general, I'm not particularly interested in whether one guy bitched about his bandmates to another guy's personal assistant - but as a fan I'd rather hear about that than the mundane truth of their daily lives. Ideally, both of them would stop airing their dirty laundry in public - but there will always be speculation and so there will always be attempts to "set the record straight," and if there aren't ready-made rumors to talk about then someone, somewhere, will provide one. Which begs the question of whether the cycle of conjecture and clarifications is really fueled by the personalities involved or by the fans. I'd bet on the latter. In which case, why should anyone have to be honest and open about every little rumor which crops up when they can, with a little effort, mind-fuck the fans for months.

I agree on some points. I can't agree with the mind fucking part though. I was a little put off by cancelling the tour dates at the beginning of the year only to not actually finish the album, but I think the rest has pretty much been made up by "fans".
