Could Axl be preparing himself for a future career as a producer?

I think his priority is to get those damn albums out and tour the world. Oh, and be more successful than VR....

I agree 100% that in the here and now that is his goal .. but I'm speculating on what his goals may be further on down the road when the touring and performing is done.

I think his priority is to make us suffer.

Ok, another great post...

Get a life.

  haha , get a life ? if picking a fight with a total stranger over the internet is having a life then I think I'll stick with not having a life thank you.

it's equally likely he hides inside his house for another ten years. there is no way to know any of this.

Axls too caught up in Yodas magic world of energy fields and monsters to ever have a producing career.

i think that when it all comes together for him (success of CD, the band etc...) - the two elements - being a producer (for hire etc) and performer can be run side by side. Many other musicians can achieve success in both fields at the same time...

one other thing IMHO - the guy is only 43 - i can fully envisage he keeps touring/performing etc... for another 20 years. a lot of the classic rock guys/bands had 'comebacks' later in their life... i hope his is soon and successful. ?

I don't think it's the reason for the delay. At least it's not intentional.

But yeah, In consequence, he possibly hasfound his talent for music production as a by-product. 
The process of Chinese Democracy could be preparing him for a "not near" future career as a producer.

well , duh! Anything "could" happen and nobody "knows" what it will be! He could run for president! he could become a high school gym teacher! I'm just throwing out something for the sake of conversation and not assuming that this "is" what he is going to do.

for real!? geez..!? you've had to say that like 4 or 5 times already... what is with some people*?!

*not you KV*    hehe

Once the CD(s) are released and the tours are under their belt - Axl has the world of options available to him.
It would be kick ass if he continued to find pleasure in the music business.
Hopefully its something he could do while pursuing other personal dreams...?
like if having a family is still something he'd like to do...? ?

You're welcome. Still, I suggest you get a life and stop posting stupid meaningless messages...

Well you asked the question, I answered it twice.

Once again, in the absence of any material by which the industry can judge Axl's production, there is no way anyone can argue the issue either way.  It's possible Axl hates the production side of the business yet does so because he doesn't trust anyone with his songs. It's equally possible that he has learned enough skills in the past 7 years that he can work on the production side. It all depends on Uncle Axl and the quality of Chinese Democracy. Axl's reputation and the length of this project are counting against him, but all could be forgiven if CD is a masterpiece.

I sincerely hope not. The greatest rock n roll front man of all time has no place behind a mixing board for the rest of his life.

It would break my heart to see him like that

Axl is a rich guy who doesn't need to get up early to work like us.....he'll do what he wanna....he doesn't need to work anymore...i'm wrong about?
