GNR mention on Stern...No new news

[pilferk]

Pilferk, So you know for a fact that the Stern Show is trying to book Axl?? Please, go on...

Trying doesn't mean succeeding, keep in mind. Just cause they ask doesn't mean Axl will actually come.

I shot an email off to the stern show guys when the Hammerstein shows were announced.

I got an email back a couple days later saying they knew about the shows and were going to try to book Axl on the show for sometime during that week.

Thats it.

Nothing really all that interesting.

I have Sirius and love Howard Stern, but it is a bad idea for Axl to go on that show because he will end up getting all pissed off and leaving the show. They will pry and ask him everything he may or may not want to talk about, and who knows how well Axl will handle an interview in which he is not in control of the questions asked as he typically is. Not to mention the fact the Stern show actually likes Slash and the VR guys, and probably won't let the interview turn into a piling on session.

I would love to hear it, but given how easily Axl is spooked I don't think it is a good idea.

I largely agree.

Which is why I'd be shocked if Axl accepted the invite.

Great now I have to pack my Sportster Boombox for the Trip to New York just incase Axl is on Stern Monday or Tuesday.

I THINK I remember Gary saying on the show that they did.? It may have been the morning after the MSG show.

But I think he said they were told the tour schedule wouldn't really give him time to do it, because the shows in the area were tightly packed around MSG.

Which, of course, could have been management's way of saying, politely, they weren't interested.

Edit: Of course, thinking back...it may very well have been Karolyi at WCCC who said all that.

Sorry, old age setting in......Now I'm not sure.

i also remember that the day after the msg show someone from the stern show who said he a axl fan said that he was at the show and he thought axl was lip syncing, i tired to send them a copy of a msg song but never could get it to go thru..,.

You know what better time for Axl to settle all of the bullshit rumors. I wish Axl would go on Howard, I honestly dont think Howard or the staff would give Axl any shit, as long as Howard would stay away from taking phone calls. Howard Stern is a amazing interviewer, one of the best if not the best on radio. This could be the ultimate way for Axl to settle all of the bullshit and rumors. I would love to hear Axl and Howard just talking for a couple of hours, but that is just wishful thinking.

Also think of the potential for some GNR progaganda, Sirius headquarters are located in NYC, Axl could go on Stern then invade every other channel on Sirius.
