Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Excellent interview.  Sorry if it's a repost.

Let's say a fan stopped you on the street and said: "Listen, I bought all your records, but I'm sick of your bullshit. I come to a show and you're two hours late, and I have to work the next day. You don't give a fuck about me."

If I didn't give a fuck about them, I'd come out and do a shitty show. I'd come out and tell 'em to fuck off. I'd sit down, sing the songs off-key and just not care. But I do care, and I also care too much about myself to do that. It's confusing to me that people go, "Well, I have to work in the morning." If you were getting laid, you wouldn't be so worried about what time it was. I know it's complicated, but so is getting onstage. And I'm sorry. I try to make it up by coming out and doing a good show and explaining as much as I can about what was going on in my head and why we weren't there.

I really think that the next official Guns n' Roses record, or the next thing I do, at least, will take some dramatic turns that people didn't expect and show the growth ----

That statement may still hold true, very in depth interview.  A lot of times we forget that celebrities are real people and sometimes deal with real shit.

Just so we're clear on this. On this issue of time and having to be at work/somewhere the next day, Axl's comparing getting laid and being at a concert on the same level??  :hihi:

I don't think so. :no:

that interviewer should have had Axl answer a more common question that we all want wonder everyday. I think you all know what said question is........

good interview though : ok:

yeah one lasts longer :P

funny shit!!!  gotta love axl!

Why post an interview almost 16 years old?


I hate shit like this, Makes me think its something new

I click on it and its old shit.... :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

It is pretty fucking annoying I thought it was a new interview for a second .

Thanks for updating Adz.


For the others - like said, could be a repost.  It didn't look TOO recent (hence my comments that it might be a repost) but it was JUST put online by Rolling Stone.   If I'd known it was from 1992 I would have included that in the title, but RS made no reference to the original date.   So the words "Chill", "the", "fuck" and "out" come to mind.

16 years and it COULD be a repost.... ::)

U Think? :hihi:


What do u mean CHILL OUT?

We've been waiting for a long time for an Exclusive Rolling STone interview and I was excited as fuck when I saw this thread.

Hop off of him he just wanted to share the article he never said it was new anywhere you ASSUMED great job. Anyways don't you think an exclusive RS interview would be all over the place? Jesus calm down peoeple....

Actually 16 years ago this site wasn't around ;)

But like I said - had Rolling Stone made clear the original publication date, I would have posted it.

:)

i know what you mean i thought it was new too untill he started saying things about slash and nothing about CHINESE DEMOCRACY or anything to do with the new band.

It does piss me off kinda that it was old but if i hadn't have thought that it was new i would've never read it. Which is bad because i liked it. just to bad it was 16 years old. So for future referance DON'T DO IT AGAIN :rant:


:peace:

Looks like Rolling Stone is re-running the GNR covers/interviews.... : ok:

Guns N? Roses in Rolling Stone: The Cover Stories

When Guns N? Roses graced the most recent cover of Rolling Stone to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their landmark album Appetite for Destruction, it obviously wasn?t the band?s first time on our top page. Click here for three of their previous RS covers...

Isn't it the same interview posted on this site's article section all the time?

 :P

It is!? What gave it away?? The fact that the same link is in the first post?? :)

being a little off topic.. and talking bout RS interviews, here's my favourite!

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=3

12 word-pages of very deep interview with the good old young axl! the interview touches almost all topics, fame, money, sex, drugs, controversy, friendship, rock n roll star image...  : ok: I'm translating it into spanish to bash my friends and girlfriend with some more axl's stuff  :beer:

yesterday's got nothin' for me
Old pictures that I'll always see
Some things could be better
If we'd all just let them be

its 2007

I love this interview. Actually, my signature is from there  ;).

It's not true. Sometimes I fake it... You know I'm tired and I just wanna get some sleep.

I didn't know dudes could fake it ... where have I been.

That reminds me of the dead kennedys song: too drunk to fuck

I'm curious what book he was mentioned in?

Needful Things. "In a world where there's a Michael Jackson and an asshole like Axl Rose, anything's possible, I suppose," Henry said.

I knew I should've finished that book. Now I know why.
