Dizzy Reed at Cornell Interview

[the dirt]

At least Axl lets these guys write stuff.

Richard said recently in an email that none of his ideas are on anything he's heard.

[ppbebe]

Then, why doesn't he call it Axl and the Jobbers, like neemo suggested?

I'm not trying to suggest that the rest of the band has no musical input in the album-when i say it's his project, i mean that he is the one who assumes all the risk and reputation regarding it-therefore, he is control of how the final product is made. I think the quote you gave from the RS article actually proves that-he's the one steering it to what it should be like. Well, who's the guy utlimately determining what it should be like like? Axl! He's the Captain of the ship, so to speak,which means he ultimately will chart the course. All the shipmates can do is take shore leave until he says it's time to come back.

See. Here we're discussing whether this is a band or a one-man band at Axl's leisure.

Dizzy's answers are almost as vague as Axl's.

How vague were Axl's answers, really? I guess there's some ambiguity as to what 'people will hear new music this year' and 'we'll see what happens' in terms of touring mean-but other than that, he gave a pretty darn specific update as to what was going on with the project (32 tracks selected working on 26, first release will have 13 tracks-he even threw out titles). Did he say, yeah it'll be out in October or something to that effect? No. But what he said was more than anything we've heard in a long while.

Are we sure that there will be13 tracks on CD? Does the article say so?
Actually he said they are working on 32 songs and not on 26 songs.
I don't think Dizzy's much vaguer than Axl's.

[Markus Asraelius]

All you guys are doing is shouting at each other. We're not even really discussing anything anymore.

My mistake on the inverting the track quote. But when the article says Of those, thirteen are slated for the final album. I take that to mean CD, which is what the writer is primarily talking about at the beginning of the article. He's paraphrasing. I guess you could take 'final album' to mean the second release, but that doesn't seem to fit the context of the article. Unfortunately, we have no transcript of the whole conversation. But Dizzy seems not to know anything regarding where the project stands where Axl at least said something about it's progession (and i use that word with caution).

[Neemo]

We're discussing the comments made by various band members at various stages in the saga that is Chinese Democracy and we're also discussing whether or not this album is a band collaboration or Axl's solo project.

I don't mean any of my posts to be "shouting". sorry if they come across like that

Just because he likes their t-shirts? Is he supposed to hate them?

[Carlos_f_Rose]

No man, but it seems to be a mockery since he talks about their T-Shirts instead of them as musicians.

@ NickNasty06
Not only that. they may well have more which they're not working on anymore.
Remember the interview "unexpectedly" occured at a bash. not the quietest place, I suppose.

You must be joking.  I don't know about the first 2 pages but we're all very civil. No name calling.

Anyways. billsguy is right. How come some of you are so negative about this interview?

What it also confirms is that his ideas are not on anything in any capacity, be it lead, rhythm, bongos, or farts.

[ppbebe]

Yep saul. I'd read it as erose does. 
I think he was referring to the first album.

What did he actually say?

No, he very well could have, or could have tried.

What first album? This was from a very recent email.

Go look in the "emails from ricchard" thread. It's in there somewhere, but my paraphrase is almost spot on.
