[billsguy]

My questions (sorry if already posted)

- This last tour, you seemed much happier on stage.  Is every performance still a battle, as you have said in the past that it used to be?  Or are you in a different place now when you are on stage?

- Are there any love interests in your life?

- Tell us about your reason for the title "Chinese Democracy"

- How do you feel about your touring career?  Are you ready to do it again for many years?  Or do you see yourself settling down in the next 5-10 years?

- Would you ever consider doing a side project after the life of GNR (if it ever ends)?  By side project I mean a band under a different name.

- Has there been any resolution between you and Izzy?  Rumors have floated that the rift is closing.

- Have you listened to VR at all?  Any interest at all?  Have your feelings changed for any of the past bandmembers?

- (Already been posted but important) We heard that the Las Vegas show was to be released as a DVD but was cancelled...  Should we expect to see anything released like that?  Either from the last tour or something new with CD?

Any of these on there would be great!!!!!

Hmmm, this must be the Gentle Introduction to the Internet 10 questions list  

I suddenly realized we could have asked if he was in that NYC hip-hop nightclub a few weeks ago with an older woman and 5 kids  

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

This is my take on the final questions:
(Please excuse the CAPS LOCK.  I am not shouting.  It just makes my comments seperate better from the other text.)


1) How are you?  
THIS IS GREAT.

2) What new music are you currently listening to and what was the last CD you bought?
3) What's the worst hit song you've heard in the last ten years?
4) Of all contemporary singers, rock, pop, even country, who is the one you'd like to duet with?
THESE COULD HAVE BEEN LUMPED TOGETHER IN ONE QUESTION / ITS ONE TOPIC.

5) What do you think of your bandmembers solo music and have you been to any of their shows?
FINE.  BUT THE ANSWER TO THE FIRST PART OF THE QUESTION IS RATHER PREDICTABLE AND THE REST WOULD BE WHAT?  YES OR NO. ALSO HE JUST MAY BE WARY TO SAY IF HE DOES ATTEND.  HAS ANYONE SEEN HIM AT ANY OF THE GIGS? HM?

6) What's the thing you enjoy the most doing during the day?
THIS COULD BE WORDED TO FIND OUT ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS PEOPLE WERE ASKING ABOUT - IE: HIS HOBBIES, DOES HE COLLECT THINGS, HIS CARS, THE SPORTS QUESTIONS, WHAT DOES HE ENJOY READING, WHAT MOVIES HE HAS ENJOYED, COMEDIANS, ETC.

7)What are your thoughts on having Arnold Schwarzenegger as your governor?
I WOULD INCLUDE THIS AS A 'BREAK POINT' IN BETWEEN SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS...
ITS GOOD IN AN INTERVIEW TO INCLUDE SOME LIGHTHEARTED FARE TO BREAK UP THE WEIGHT OF MORE THOUGHT PROVING QUESTIONS / TOPICS.

Has your impression of the internet changed over the past few years or do you still consider it a garbage can?
I DON'T LIKE THE NEGATIVE SPIN ON THIS QUESTION.  SURE WE CAN REFERENCE THE 'GARBAGE CAN' QUOTE BUT IN MY OPINION ITS ALMOST ARGUEMENTATIVE.  HOPEUFLLY HE WILL NOT BE OFFENDED AND GO ON THE DEFENSE.  THE FACT IS IT IS A GARBAGE CAN.  I LIKE THE WAY I WORDED IT BETTER.

HOW YOU WORD THINGS MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE IMPRESSION IT MAKES AND THE RESPONSE THAT IS SOLICITED.

9) What makes you laugh?
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY?  SAME AS QUES #6  
I WOULD HAVE RATHER FOUND OUT MORE ABOUT HIS TATTOOs  

10) What are your wishes for the future, and do you have any information or comments you would like to share with your fans?
GREAT.

THE FIRST AND THE LAST QUESTION ARE THE BEST.  

I look forward to the replys.  I just wish Mystereon had more time to assemble the final list.  

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

Eva,i think that you forgetting that axl is a human being that we don't know.

and we should let him live his life.
trying to find out stuff about his prvate life is not right. this is creepy.

just ask stuff about the cd, the music, the making of the album, the tours ....things that he shares with us ...

his favorite cereals are none of our buisness.... this really "voyeur" to ask stuff like that .....

[RnT]

HEY MYSTERON

you saying this means that Axl?s manager though that this is a cool idea and Axl already agreed to talk to us?

IN MY OPINION, w don?t have to talk about politic, it?s pretty vain this answer to someone that lives in sweden, brazil, belgium... we could replace for other question...  

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

3) What's the BEST and the worst song you?ve herad in the last ten years? wich band makes you think "wow, this iscool" ?

Has your impression of the internet changed over the past few years or do you still consider it a garbage can? because is the only thing that make the GNR fans all over the world united day after day waiting for some news after your interview to Kurt Lorder ( I don?t remember the date, please someone put the date here ) and after the band Played in VMA?S... ?

10) What are your wishes for the future, and do you have any information or comments you would like to share with your fans? Can you tell us something about the new record?

I'm sure there will be some questions that people don't like, but it's hard to please all the people, all the time....or so the saying goes

The questions are short, simple, fun and not too personal, and they have come from you guys, so hopefully this will spur him into giving us a reply

HEY MYSTERON

Axl's manager has agreed to look at the questions and ask Axl if he wants to answer them. It means that Axl will at least see the questions and be able to make a choice

That's why I'm being careful in what we ask

[Luckyme]

Great questions-Mysteron!

I love the number 7 question!

I meant to say number 8- didn't see the smiley.

his favorite cereals are none of our buisness.... this really "voyeur" to ask stuff like that .....

excuse me, but where do you see me wanting to know his favorite cereal?

i'm not 'fogetting' anything.  I didn't suggest asking about his underwear or his love life or anything like that!  

You should read the questions I originally suggested before you make a statement like that directed towards me.


And oh Mystereon, I understand about keeping it simple...  Its obvious that you kept it very simple...  and like I said I can understand why you would decide to do so.

great

thanks for the help man

what do you think about the rest of my last post? the questions that I changed? ( consider what I say about the question of politic... we could put other question )

 

[loretian]

Yeah, I think they are great questions too.  The one question we all want to ask isn't there, but it'd never be answered anyway - they're still interesting questions that are of the sort we might actually get an answer to.  I would be interested to hear the answer to all of them and, in particular, what kind of music Axl listens to these days.

Thanks, Mysteron and RnT!

yeah i'm sorry, i was being rude, i'm sure you're a nice person, but thats just what i felt when i read what u wrote :

"THIS COULD BE WORDED TO FIND OUT ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS PEOPLE WERE ASKING ABOUT - IE: HIS HOBBIES, DOES HE COLLECT THINGS, HIS CARS, THE SPORTS QUESTIONS, WHAT DOES HE ENJOY READING, WHAT MOVIES HE HAS ENJOYED, COMEDIANS, ETC.
"

but thats ok. no big deal.

Thanks, Mysteron and RnT!  

I believe that in his last answer, he could tell us something really cool about the album or even ( why not? ) tell some date.  

[DizzyReed63]

Damn Mysteron, you always come thru in the clutch!
Thanks for yer inside info/connections.

Though I doubt he'll answer any of them cuz, well, he's Axl... it'd be great to see him try to make some personal contact w/ us diehard fans. And we aren't asking any annoying question he's prone to avoid.
 
I'm real interested to see what music he listens to now.

I think the best we'll get out of him about a release date is maybe a, "soon is the word"

[TyRod Tulip]

Though I doubt he'll answer any of them cuz, well, he's Axl

I agree.  I think the chances of him answering these questions are slim to none...that's even assuming he sees these questions which is also not likely.

If he cared even a smidgeon about his fans he'd take the 10 minutes out of his life to answer these for us.  I mean these are some of the most benign questions we could ask the man.  But my guess is that he doesn't care too much about the opinion of us die-hard fans and won't bother to answer them.

-TyRod-

p.s. Wondering if Mysteron is furiously writing replies to the questions as we speak.  

[RnT]

Hey JARMO, are you alive?

[Izzy]

p.s. Wondering if Mysteron is furiously writing replies to the questions as we speak.  

Hey enough of the Mysteron bashing, too many people on this board can't resist a pop at him

He is legit. He is in contact with GNR's manager.

Have a little faith.

I personally am delighted we have had this chance to present some questions to Axl.

C'mon, that was funny!

[cherry]

My Top Ten Questions for Axl:

1.  If you're in a public restroom and they're out of toilet seat covers, would you go ahead and sit directly on the seat, or just slightly squat over it?

2.  If you could keep only one of your tattoos, which one would you choose?

3.  What would you do for a Klondike bar?

4.  Do you cry every time you watch Steel Magnolias?

5.  If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you want with you?

6.  Van Gogh or Monet?

7.  What's your take on the Atkins Diet?

8.  The Science Channel...yes or no?

9.  Other than music, which career would you want to persue?

and finally....

10.  When you see MTV or VH1 on your caller ID, do you pick up the phone and say, "You must have the wrong number" ?

Thanks for your time and interest!
