Sure, from fans and maybe backstage workers, media and such but it just seemed by Chris's statement that it even ment band members too, managment,? anybody at all..?
Media - likely since Axl didn't give that many interviews at the time
I don't really see the comments as something negative. Chris is just desribing what he saw. It's true that there were teleprompters on the stage and Axl used to wear those shorts.....

Actually, I didn't really take it as negative. I see the teleprompters in the boots that I have. They were always changing the set list so IMO, that wasn't a bad idea at all. I love the shorts
Actually it always kind of facinates me when I read stuff like the about hallway in this case, it just tells me more of what went on behind the scenes that I haven't read about before.

I think Axl didn`t want anybody in the hallway, because he wanted to concentrate on the show and he didn`t want to be deflected by something. I don`t think that there was another reason for this or that this was weird.

I agree. Its not really that bad of a thing to do if you consider the circumstances. Axl was in the biggest band on the earth. He wanted to blow the opening band off the fuckin stage every night. His fans always expected to be blown away by his performance. Thats alot of pressure for one man to endure. So if he needed to get in "the zone" before going on stage, there's nothing wrong with that. Having to speak to someone during his walk to the stage would just cloud his thoughts. Axl was so great in July 1991 when I seen him, there must not have been anyone within 100 feet of him on his walk to the stage.

Just for the record, I don't think it's a bad thing that he is wants to be alone. I do find what goes on backstage with him to be interesting and sorta fascinating because he does have all these rules some may be standard procedure and some of his own accord. Ofcourse he has to prepare to perform, that is true of most performers but I just thought the hallways was a bit extreme for even band members to be in, that's all.

I agree with jameslofton29...it's a situation similar to a great baseball pitcher who has a no-hitter going. Nobody goes near the guy. Axl had the world by its "short n' curlies" through '93...nobody wanted to jinx him.
This was a hilarious interview...this is not Cornell "slagging off" on Axl. It was simply a man recalling a surreal moment in his life. Funny shit.

Some Actors are so focused they dont want to be disturbed because that might kill they're mojo, Miles Davis was the same way before he went on stage. So why persecute Axl for being the same way, the stage was his domain and he wanted to give the best show possible. So fuck Chris Cornell if he doesnt get it.

Did anyone else read the entire interview? I got the Blender mag the other day and I got to read the whole interview. A sad part of the interview is when he says Soundgarden probably wont ever get back together.

ya know REALLY now.. who gives a flyin' fig!?
if he was sacrificing live chickens in the back and wore and indian headress on stage with a loincloth - so what!???
he put on kick ass shows with GN'R!?
No doubt he certainly did but part of Axl's appeal to me is that he is intriguing and I just would love to know the reason why for the empty hallways.?
I think the reason is that he spends a lot of time getting psyched up before gigs, and he doesn't want to run into something between the wardrobe and the stage that will fuck up his concentration.
now he probably didn't mind running into Cornell cos he was probably a fan of Soundgarden, if he wasn't, they probably wouldn't have taken them on tour in the first place.

I understand that completely, no doubt he puts on a hell of a show. Probably did the same thing in 2002.
In the toyko DVD's there are people all over the hallways as they are walking to the stage. Gets it's a matter of mood his is in or because the camera's were there he allowed it.

Axl was a big fan of Soundgarden back in the late eighties early nineties. I read an interview one time where they ask Axl what singers he liked and he said something like "Chris Cornell just buries me!" He liked Cornell for sure.

GNR lyrics hardly ever follow a regular song platform i.e. verse-chorus-verse-chorus-verse.?
Are you joking? With the possible exceptions of Coma, Get in the Ring, Estranged, My World and maybe one or two others, ALL of them follow this platform, adding a bridge here or there.

Do any of you guys realize that Axl is just a person?
A normal human being.
He might not realize it. But Chris does.
Chris was just a regular musician who lives on planet earth.
Then he saw Axl, another musician, coming towards him wearing a feather boah, and Axl sneakers and a fur coat and bicycle shorts and one of those super long cigarettes with the holder. How would you react?
I'd think "Man... this guy actually believes himself?"

Always changing their setlists?!
Almost every show on the Use Your Illusion tour was the exact same. Especially in '92.
I never minded teleprompters though. I don't see anything wrong with it. But GNR only had 3 CDs and an EP... But either way... Teleprompters = OK with me.

I haven't seen every show from UYI's tour, I have seen a few and yes their set lists don't change by much but by their own addmission they learn like 30 songs and pick from them. In the shows I have seen, Coma, RNDTH, Perfect Time just to name a few haven't always been played at every concert.

In regards to the whole similar setlist thing, they really never had that much material to choose from. Like someone already said, during the UYI tour they'd released 3 albums and an EP. Its not like they had all that much to choose from.

I really think the whole teleprompter thing was " a just incase Axl got lost in the song or forgot a lyric here and there" not necessarily that he constantly looked at it, granted the setlists didn't change dramatically but in some concerts when he has messed the lyrics up he probably figured, put them all around so I don't do that again. He is a perfectionist after all and that is not a bad thing sometimes but I could see why he had them.

Yeah, I really don't think he looked at the prompters much at all. We've all seen plenty of live GN'R footage. How often is Axl even standing in the same place? Its not like he's parked in front of the thing all show. I don't have a problem with the prompters. I'd rather him have one then completely forget a song, get pissed off, and walk off stage.

Cornell should be thanking Axl for letting SG open for Gnr. SG didnt get big until after opening for Gnr, that is when they got noticed.
