OK - LET?S TALK TO AXL ROSE

[Voodoochild]

I'm so glad no one has asked this yet. I read through five pages of questions and now i'm glad to present

 - Will Chinese Democracy be the last album Guns n' Roses releases?

I believe Axl already said that will be another two albuns after CD.  

[Perl]

Here are my questions:

- How do you see yourself as an artist today compared to the earlier years?

- Are there any particular aspects of the band or yourself that you feel has been neglected by the press or overshadowed by some of the more controversial episodes that people prefer to exploit?

- Do you mix n match different songs while writing

- While visiting China did you get inspired to write new songs?

- Are you computer savvy?

- Favorite pastime

- Favorite hangout, New York, Vegas or _____

[Reinaldo]

these ones are hot:
1. Since you?ve been taken care by a brazilian family (I?m very proud of Beta and her kids for that) for more than a decade, which cultural influences have you acquired from that relationship? Food, slangs, history, dressing, music, customs, etc.

2. You don?t seen to like "The Spaghetti Incident?", what?s your opinion about that album and why GNR (old and new line up) never played those songs after that cd was released?

3. Have you taken any decisions concerning the new album under the influence of opinions (from sincere fans on boards like HTGTH, for example, not dumb bashers) you've read on the Internet?

A few more:
4. How the whole Chinese Democracy concept came up?

5. Which songs GNR probably won?t ever play again?

6. The "IRS" episode... what happended? Are you friends with Mike Piazza and send him a cd or was it a leak?

7. Do you actually go to the movies or wait until the film your interested in come on DVD?

8. Which was the worst moment of Guns N' Roses history? Why? Have you ever thought of definitively dissolving the band ?

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

Something I'd like to know...  not important and prob not of much interest to anyone... but I'd like to know what cigars he likes.

Any comment on Kurt Loder - are we correct in assuming that he'd be the journalist to whom he's most likely to grant an interview?


Are there any plans set to go in motion upon the announcment of the CD's release date?  Is there going to be a release party?  If so, any chance that fans may be able to participate in some manner?

HOB and the Hard Rock shows were an amazing, intimate experience.  Before embarking on the tour for the new CD, might a warm up gig in a simiar sized US venue be considered?

[Fuckin' Gunner]

1. How do you write the lirycs? On a old interview you said the song came in parts to you. It was like this on Chinese Democracy?

2. Is Madagascar about you? I tought it was, but I'm always in doubt...

3. What?s your favourite GNR song?

4. Do you plan to play Don?t Cry, Estranged and Double Talkin Jive again?

5. What?s your favourite band? And your favourite song?

6. What were you planning to play in Rock In Rio Lisbon?

------------------------------

HE PROBLABLY DON?T WANT TO ANSWER THIS ONES, BUT...

7. When Slash left the band, whar did you done to find the new guitar player?

8. What do you think abour Velvet Revolver?

9. Do you plan to tour this year?

10. If Buckethead said to you he wants to back to the band, woulg you let him come back?

[Ignatius]

We need a little bit of structure here. I've read every single post and there are many repeated questions. We should either read every post before keep coming with questions or we should wrap it up and get Jarmo or Mysteron ( or even RnT since he came out with the idea) to choose which questions will make the cut.

Agreed?

Agreed. We (or they ) should stop or close this thread and begin to select the questions.

[Luckyme]

 I Agree! Lot's of posts though!  But the 24 hours are not up yet? This thread is a real winner,   I forgot to thank RNT, for his ingenious idea, and Mysteron for carrying out the mission. Last but not least Jarmo.

[RnT]

THANKS!  

I?m just proud of myself to be part of it IF Axl talk to us, it?s enough to me  
I?m a Brazilian and I think my chance to get to know him "in person" is almost ZERO, but if he decided to just participate, I?m just happy that, in some way, I did "shake his hand" thru the internet

IF you want to give me the "power" of choose the questions, I pass it to someone in this board that REALLY LOVE THIS BAND AND REALLY LOVE THE BEST SINGER IN THE WHOLE WORLD, and my "wish" is just that, IF ( I?m saying a lot of "if" ... ) Axl participate on it cause HE WANT, that he in the end just say hello to his fans in Brazil and say something like "Hey Renato, I?ll be around soon... take care."  

I hope we can do it, will be cool as hell!  

[Voodoochild]

"Hey Renato, I?ll be around soon... take care."  

Xozi would be pissed!  
Just kiding..
Hey, I guess you should chose a few questions with Jarmo and Mysteron. It would be nice.  

[RnT]

BETTER :

"Hey RENATO ZANGROSSI ( my last name   ), I?l be around soon... take care."    

[grog mug]

Will you ever tour again...Anytime soon? If so are going to try to hit KENTUCKY this time?

How is the band doing...are you still rehearsing for any upcoming projects?

Have you ever thought of a SOLO album?

When will you come out and speak to us?!

[Renata]

Most of all I would like to know how are you doing now, Axl ?

Do you sometimes remember your stay in Prague ? Can we hope to see you here again ?

What music do you listen to now ?

Thank you,
Renata

[Walapino]

I agree someone should pick the questions but please dont pick only the lame ones that you think Axl will answer, pick some good ones too or it will be a bit boring  

[Renata]

Walapino, I am sorry for the mistake, I have logged in for the first time. I will emend it just now. Of course, I am not lama though I practice yoga and meditation couple of years. As Dalai Lama is a good friend of our ex-president Havel we have a chance to meet him in Czech Republic quite often. But this is unrelated to the discussion.
I am sure Axl will answer the good questions, abstractedly from the fact if they are from lamas or not

[Butch Français]

Heeey W.!
Are you proud of the music you are making with this version of the band? And how would you explain the difference from previous GN'R efforts?
Plus, have you heard John Frusciantes latest solo album? I love it!

[Death Cube K]

Here's my questions:

1. Do you enjoy only American motorsports or are you into things such as Formula 1 or World Rally Championship?

2. Any songs around that you hear and think "damnit, I wish I wrote that one"

3. Just how many songs/instrumental pieces have you guys been working on over the years since 98?

4. Did you really go to China?

5. Any plans on a European tour?

6. Just about when did you know you had the track listing for Chinese Democracy ready?

7. Do you read these message board and do you post?

[Christos AG]

First of all, thanks to RnT for the idea and to Mysteron for making it happen (if Axl agrees).

I can't think of a question better than all the questions asked already.

Just one...

I heard that you've been visiting a Greek island for many years now. Is it true? Will you come now with the Olympic Games?

[Cocaine__tongue]

Couple of questions, to Mr Rose (Excuse my poor english, I'm writing from Spain...):

1.- Axl, do you remember what happened during Dead Horse when gnr performed in madrid in 93?, i remember you restarted the song,  (you look cool playing the guitar) when you had been playing for about 1 minute, it was cool and strange!!!!.

2.- What do you think of the war in irak??, do you believe your president anymore?, is he a liar?.

3.- What places would you recomend me to visit in or near san francisco, as i am going there in a month time.

4.- With who other artist(s), besides the ex gnr members or current ones, have you had the best time playing together?, tom petty, aerosmith, keith and mick, lenny, the boss, monroe, elton, queen...

5.- Are you sure madagascar, the blues and chinese democracy aren?t the big guns?, cause if they aren't, Chin. Demo. is gonna be one of the greatest pieces of music ever heard.

6.- What songs would you have considered in a 12-14 set of songs, to make ir to a greatest hits?. which of them are you most proud and least proud of??

Thanks.

[Gunnershome]

Ok and now mine...Axl how is it to joke with the hearts of your best loving fans...the people who made you so great? and how are you making this rare(non prof) behavior good so you can play again on world stages?
