Thanks Jarmo. That's about what I thought, a few but not many.

It's amazing that the only interview (not even an interview) /clip that Much Music (Canada's version of MTV) has of Axl Rose, is that one 30 second clip when Axl rides up on the bike during the Duff & Matt interview.

do you wonder why?

Yes, I wonder why. Much Music has been around for quite a while and they usually have at least one interview with most big names in the music industry, so I do find it surprising that they don't even have a single interview (can't call that bike clip an interview with him...)with Axl Rose over the years.

I always have known that he didn't do many interviews, but he did do some, I recall reading the Hit Parader one that someone posted in the My World thread, so it sort of shocking that Much Music doesn't have a single one.

Not giving a lot of interviews is a smart business tactic for "rock stars" actually. Like someone else said, it certainly would help if he gave an interview once in a while to explain his side of the story and giving interviews is a nice thing to do for the fans. But on the other side of the coin, they lose the mystery and intrigue if they give a lot of interviews. It's unfortunate that it works this way, but it's true. Performers who don't give many interviews are intriguing because there's a mystery with them and when there is an interview, everyone flocks to it because it's so rare. But when someone gives a lot of interviews, they lose that quality.

Pulling this up from the grave. I did a search and this was the first oe on the topic I came across and I'm not starting a new post about it.

I finally got to see this last night. Missed the first 15 minutes tho as I had just come in from work. From what I did see though it seemed a pretty fair commentary on the history of GnR without much Axl bashing. Though I do find it strange (as someone else pointed out) that MMM doesn't have a one on one interview of Axl. Maybe they'll get one around the time of CD being released.

Did Axl do many interviews with MTV over the years?
