Wednesday 13 'The Band, The Crew, Axl, Everyone Has Been So Amazing To Us'

[FunkyMonkey]

MetalSickness.com conducted an interview with vocalist Wednesday 13 of the Murderdolls on September 13, 2010 in Paris, France during their tour with GNR.  On being the support band for Guns N' Roses he says...

Wednesday 13: "We stand for the same things that I believe Guns N Roses started back in the day."

"The band, the crew, Axl, everyone has been so amazing to us.  They treat us great -- we got to hang out with those guys a lot after the shows.  It's a lot of fun.  So despite all the crazy internet rumors you hear about the bullshit surrounding it -- it's not alive back here for us.  These guys are treating us great.  I'm really really fortunate to be here and doing this.  We're really glad to be out -- hopefully we can do some more show with those guys in the future because they're really cool."

Everyone who has toured with GNR lately has said pretty much the same thing. Danko Jones for example

Danko Jones: 'Axl Rose Was One Of The Nicest Guys I've Ever Toured With'

But from what's been in the press, you would think otherwise.

That's called "Autistic Journalism". Those people from media only writes about what's inside their heads rather than facts.

Funny... but true!

Of course they are. They would never admit they don't do their jobs. Well at least some of us out here get it.
peace out

Here's an article done by NRK (Norway) with Danko Jones back in June.


? Axl is the last of the greats



? Axl Rose is probably the last great rockstar who is left - Danko Jones says about the Guns N' Roses vocalist.

Danko Jones is the hardrocker who had to play twice as long as planned in Bergen monday night while the audience waited for Guns N' Roses, but he has got no problems with that.

- A nice guy
? We had been told to play a little longer, but that was ok with us. Yes, the crowd complained and booed. But they still stayed to see the band - and to see Axl, Danko says, who will warm up for Guns on wednesday at Oslo Spektrum - and four other concerts here in Europe.

Danko himself has only good things to say about Axl Rose, who he toured with for three weeks in Canada earlier this year.

? People will rather believe the worst than the best. He is the greatest I have toured with, and also a nice guy, Jones says and knows many will not believe him.

? Axl does not give interviews, and therefore most things about him becomes speculations and stuff people think they have heard. But it gives him an own aura of mystique, and that can be a good thing for a musician. Jimi Hendrix did not tweet or blog, and all we have are some green, scratchy photographs. That increases the mystery. Too me, Axl Rose is in that category. That is why people want to see and listen to him, because he is who he is, Danko says.

To Norway again
Danko Jones himself talks a lot, but that does not worry him.

? We are only on the B-level. And the rock music has become an underground phenomenon these past years anyway. I don't know if we will see anyone like the old heroes as Jimi Hendrix, Freddie Mercury, Ted Nugent, Steven Tyler and Axl Rose. Jack White is the only one who might reach that level. The music business is completely different today, Jones says.

He himself tours all the time, and will come back to Norway visiting Bukta and Oslo Live in July.

? You have to tour to make it as a musician today. We have played 27 countries on six continents, but we have never gotten a gold record back home. But I will rather be a small fish in the big sea than the other way around.

Another one, from Page Hamilton [Helmet]:

Posted October 1, 2010

Frontman Page Hamilton said he remains open to opening for other bands on tour, despite a couple such outings that didn?t work out. A tour with Marilyn Manson years ago was one especially sour experience.

?It was a terrible match,? Hamilton said. ?I just had a miserable time on the tour.? Hamilton said the Manson fans made it very clear that they wanted to see the main act and were not interested in watching any other band.

A recent support slot with Guns ?N Roses was a more positive experience. ?Axl asked for us,? Hamilton said. ?And they treated us great, and we had an absolute blast and I would do it in a heartbeat again.?
