Stinson on Jim Rome May 4

[Mandy.]

Why the hell didn't he ask about Chinese Democracy?

Because everyone knows the answer, silly! 


"Oh yeah, soon is the word, don't worry it's coming out"

[Neemo]

Tommy is blasted if he says something, or if he says nothing...I don't blame him for not talking about GNR.

He was only on for 15 minutes anyway for a 'Mats interview...besides who actually expected him to say anything about GNR?

And there WAS something there, you just had to read between the lines.

Jim did say he was in GnR.

And Tommy said he couldn't think about a 'mats reunion because he's got so much stuff in front of him right now.

I doubt he meant SA.

Edit:  But I also wouldn't be surprised if he talked to Rome prior to the interview and said something like "Jim, steer clear of the GnR stuff.? There will be answers soon to those questions, I'm not really the right person to answer them, and I'd like to just avoid the subject right now.....it's just easier on everyone than me saying "no comment"...OK?"

I totally agree Pilferk!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if Guns' management has put the muzzle on all the members right now. I'm sure they want to be 100% in control of all media access and coverage with regards to the tour. Four New York shows sold out in 3 minutes, a great Rolling Stone article about the leaks, a line-up shrouded in mystery and speculation, and now two dates with the fucking Rolling Stones... they're probably pretty happy about where the GN'R machine sits right now... and they wouldn't some careless comment by Tommy or Dizzy to fuck everything up.... ?

Exactly.

Now, lets just hope this momentum actually carries them somewhere.  I think it will...but I've thought so before (like...in '02) and been disappointed and wrong.

I dont' think they'll let opportunity pass again.....at least I hope not.

[Neemo]

I don't think there is any conspiracy....but I think we're trying our hardest to make it into one.

[PhillyRiot]

Somehow, I don't think it would ruin GNR's comeback if Tommy said "I am playing for GNR next week in NYC." ?Call me crazy, but that's my opinion!!!!!

I'm sure Tommy has strict marching orders from Captain A about what he can and can not say about GNR.

[PhillyRiot]

You won't get an argument out of me!!!!  This guy is fulfilling his contractual obligations no doubt!!!!

[west_coast_offense]

I can't wait for the Smack Off tomorrow.

They won't let it pass I'm sure......there aren't that many chances left... + look at all these dates.....still popping up......this is gonna be fucking huge return.... A bigger bang I would say.

Why the hell didn't he ask about Chinese Democracy?

becasue it had nothing to do with Gn'R . It was promo for the new replacements Greatest hits album. PLus Rome's favorite band of all time is The Replacements.  Tommy sounded like an idiot. A complete lack of ability ot give a decent interview and Paul Westerberg is a fuckhead.  Like Rome said it was the record label   who asked for this interview and it was the WORLD PREMIER of the fisrt new Replacements song in 16 years. You think Westerberg woudl've pulled his head outta his ass and appreaciated the fact that Rome was more than willing to help promote this thing to millions of people.  Acting like a Rock Star when you're in your 20's is cool but when you're in your 40's it'snothing short of simply being an asshole.  Rome was pissed and rightfully so.

So who's gonna win the Smack off.  I have a  feeling Jeff in Richmond is gonna come out of hibernation after being bombed by Orin in Denver and take it all. My top 3 are Jeff in Richmond, Terrance in Seria modre(spelling?) and Decavilnation(spelling?) whos' the defending champ.

It's over. Nothing about GNR.

Tommy sounded completely out of it. It was like pulling teeth to get a response out of him (and I'm not talking about GNR). He is either an idiot or was angry about being there. Very uncool.

He should be thankful that someone with Rome's influence is out there touting his new product with the Replacements. He could show his thanks by giving interesting answers (again I'm not talking about GNR).

It seems Tommy, like Axl, have gone completely Rockstar.

I think he was pissed that Paul didnt show and I bet it was awkward for him talking to Rome without Paul

since when being in a RnR band is like National Security matter!? he is in S.A album i can see his picture in there as the forth member. whats more official then that. can somebody show me,something as official as that one, that he is in GNR also( im not saying that he is not in GNR) how hard is for him to say that "It wont be a mats reunion coz of GNR happenings". this is just fucked up keeping fans in the dark. whats the big deal we'll now in a week anyway. it shows that GNR is AXL and thats it the rest are just employees.
 
i dont give a flying fuck anymore who's in or out i just wanna hear AXLs voice and thats good enough for me.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

in 1 week we'll know wtf is going on. no worries, we've waited this long, whats another week?
