Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hi, I'm looking for GNR fans to interview for a story I'm writing for the Boston Globe about the release (finally!) of "Chinese Democracy." Anyone interested in chatting briefly can email me at anderman@globe.com.

You might find one or two of those here

 ;)

I love outside city.  Just emailed them...

I just did an "email" interview.  Pretty sweet that CD is getting so much attention!

I just emailed in as well. Hopefully I'll get to answer some questions too!

fuck yea sounds great

Thats cool that they came here. Have fun with that guys.

I emailed her, as I will be attending the Boston listening party.

Same here.

Good thing my gag order ran out yesterday! :hihi:

What were some of the questions you guys were sent?I emailed in as well but have not heard back.

Thank you for posting!  i bet there were many good responses!

I hope I get some of my answers used.

I answered the time question rather well I thought.


I simply pointed out that with the old members quitting, it takes time to reorganize and find musicians to be a "BAND"

Finding the chemistry and right fit to write with etc. It certainly isn't easy.

People think its easy to just pick anybody to play guitar or bass or drums but it isnt. everything has to flow and go together.

U throw in legal issues and all that shit, it takes time definitely.

I hope you didn't use "U" instead of "You" when answering the questions.If so, they will put that email in the delete bin with the quickness.

Obviously not

I just do that shit on message forums : ok:

It was cool. Did anyone get a response back after sending in their answers?

U think Prince does it 2?

 :hihi:

HAHA


Busted on my Fanboy spelling! :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

FYI - they are running the story later this week or possibly even in the Sunday Globe.

On a related note,they are sending a photographer to my office tomorrow, so I guess my responses are going to be part of the story!

Everyone has their 15 minutes... :confused:

 lol Make sure you shave and dress smart, the impeccable reputation of GN'R fans lies in your hands my friend  : ok:

I have a very white collar job.  I wear a suit and tie every day to work.  My wife says I should keep the dress clothes on to combat the stereotypical image that "rock fans" have.

I was going to wear a GNR t shirt and jeans and a baseball cap.

What do you guys think????

Keep the nice clothes on.

Sweet!  I was thinking about fibbing and saying I was from the Boston area to better my chances of getting inked.  But then I figured they may want to actually talk to the person, then I'd be busted.  Let us know when its out!

So when is this getting published?

Later this week or the Sunday edition

I was starting to lean towards that to show that GNR fans are more sophisticated.  LOL 

Keep the nice clothes on... but have a GN'R shirt underneath... so for your pic you can unbutton your dress shirt and show the GN'R shirt. Kind of like Superman would do...

I will never live that down!! 

Yeah man, smart dress all the way.

It would look god-awful when they turn up to a place full of office workers asking for the guns n roses fan:

"Oh wait, never mind. We see him over there, that guy by the window with his feet on the desk, wearing the ripped denims and the faded UYI world tour T-shirt, thats him right?"

Thanks for the suggestions!  I will definitely keep at least the collared shirt on; might lose the tie though...

Wow, I didn't even know Supe was a GNR fan.  :P

I emailed them, not sure if they're still looking for people.

Photographer just came.  Pretty cool guy, and took some "grand" shots with background, sky, trees, etc (probably about 35-40 total to get just one "perfect shot.").  Kind of a lot for an article on GNR fans waiting 15 years for new record, but if this gets into the Sunday edition of the Boston Globe it will be HUGE publicity for the new album. 

For those who care, I kept the shirt & tie on.   ;D

Having me in the business attire will look good, as the previous gentleman he took shots of was a guy with Guns tattoos, lots of memorabilia, a drum kit, etc.  The dichotomy will be great! 

Awesome, great publicity for the greatest band in the world.

Smart move keeping the shirt and tie look going!

Excellent work my friend ;D

It all seems a bit surreal and yet you are taking it all in your stride, well done.

Make sure to scan it so we can all see.
