There was a post at another forum that said GNR's management was considering setting up an interview with Axl that would be posted on the GNR forums.

So, I called Sanctuary today to verify it, and here's what I was told.

They said Merck (Axl's manager) is "aware" of the GNR forums and their wish to see Axl do an interview. However, his assistant told me that if he agrees to do it, they'd likely do it "internally" rather than have someone do a Q&A (question and answer) in person or by phone. (I had been hoping that he'd agree to do a live interview since I live in NYC and he's here frequently and I promised to post it at all of the major GNR forums).

I guess they're cautious and want to screen the questions that are asked so that the interview doesn't backfire, which is understandable. So, if he agrees, it will likely be fixed questions and fixed answers arranged by people at Sanctuary.

The good news is -- at least they're considering it, which means we could get a statement from Axl in the next few weeks.


do you know something about it Mysteron?

A damn shame we have to go through this to get a little news tidbit.  He really needs to step up promote his new material and needs to get the media backing him good or bad.  I want this album to succeed and know it will but he really needs to come out and tour, enough with this SILENCE!

[ccorn69]

im just gl.ad there concidering answering our questions, all though im strongly hopeing that axl does answer them cause that would be so cool.  well im keeping my fingers crossed,

peace  

[mentalradio]

I guess my question would be "Do you like Mung Bean soup?"

Yup, that's about the size of it

Basically, the questions you guys have set have been emailed to Merck, who will check them, then forward them to Axl.....who will then hopefully answer the questions, send them back to Merck, who will then forward them back to us.

[Evil Ash]

then it shouldn't take long to get the answers?

[EET_FUK]

then it shouldn't take long to get the answers?

It all depends on where he is in the "Finishing Touches" stage.  Or, he maybe be "out of the office" for a few weeks hitting up flea markets looking for unicorns or horses or whatever floats his boats.

My guess is that we WILL get some answers to the questions but it will not be enough for most of the people on this forum and it will cause an even bigger shit storm.

I'm optimistic, that we will, and the anwers are on the way!
The majority of people in the forum will be elated.  Majority rules!

Wrong! Mine!

And this is my question for Axl:

Quite simply, how are you? Always hope the best for you, and I hope things are going well for you on a personal level.

...you weren't even second  ...

Quite simply: Hey Axl, how are you?

Thank you and thank mister Mercuriadis as well as Tina Chung ( whom i believe works with him).
You all care for us and it's greatly appreciated.

[liquidvirus]

well even if he does reply
we're still on square one bout chinese democracy.....the ever elusive album

[Naupis]

Does anyone really think he's going to give us good answers to why we have no album. We'll get the same old song and dance about having to rebuild this and that, or that certain members didn't care enough(bucket) and that the album will be coming soon, and that it will be great and he will tour forever. Same ole same ole, there will be no accepting of responsibility that ultimately it is his fault we have no album, and still no response about why the tour was cut off. I think its great he might answer some questions, but what difference does it make when he screens the questions and only gives answers the way he wants. This is nothin more than a pro-axl piece of propaganda, not real answers to the questions we need answers for.

[K-Rock]

What is your favorite TV show?

[NickNasty]

While it's frusterating that we may not get any response, and if we do it probably won't talk about CD..I still see it as a glass half-full thing...If a bunch of internet fans can get Axl to talk AT ALL, it would be quite a feat, given he speaks to nobody in the "mainstream" media.

[Jessica]

I wanted to know about his cooking skills...

[axlroselegend]

to be honest i think this is a really good idea and it could build momentum if axl does reply to some questions.
we have been supporting a band which doesnt say a word for so long now and don't get me wrong as much as you'd like to get more info it adds to the whole gnr saga coz ya never know what is gonna happen next eg no news and all of a sudden there were european dates released a month and a half before the 2002 tour

but the main thing here is that its a step in the right direction,i was delighted eventho it was bad news bout bucket and the rio cancellation but was happy that axl made the effort to communicate with us.

i know alot of you guys are probably wearing thin on patience and no matter what the outcome of the 10 questions will throw abuse but i think it could be the start of little tit bits ie small updates from axl like most other bands do on their websites which would be great.

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

Could u ask to add this question.

I would like to know what inspired Axl to do the whole speech in Madagascar, cause its really brilliant. Also, I would like to know how long it took to put together all those different pieces of the speech. I think it would be really interesting to know.

[axlroselegend]

the questions have already been sent unfortunately but keep it in mind incase we get a "round 2" in writing questions coz there are alot more things people would like to add to that list but mysteryon sent them yesterday
