He didn't read off a teleprompter.
It's not like he was singing to AFD.
MTV hates surprises, therefore they write a script for presenters.
Axl obviously chose his own words.

And if he had just read the stuff written on the monitor, you'd say "why didn't Axl do something else? Why did he only say what was written on the monitor?"....
Why not just admit it? He can't ever please some of you....
Even if GN'R had played there and premiered a new song, some would say "why did they pick
that
song? They should've played
this
instead!".?
/jarmo
And some of you think everything he does is just fantasic and he never makes a mistake. I'm just being a realist here man...something that is sometimes in short supply here.
The yell was just stupid and he shouldn't have done it. On top of that, its sounded horrible and did nothing to change the popular opinion of the masses that his voice has changed and isn't what it used to be. We know his voice is better than 2002, but 99% of the people watching the VMAs don't know that. They just know he sucked in 2002 and now they think his voice is still off.
And you are right, if he had just did the rest to introduce the Killers I'd be here saying (which I have already) that he should have taken the opportunity to announce CD release date. There is no way they don't have a target date yet. If its coming out by end of November, then they know the date. Just seems logical to me to use such a huge free promotional vehicle to his advantage.
Keep in mind that as frustrated as some of you get with the posters here who try to inject realism (you all see it as negativism or pessimism), we get just as annoyed by the "That was awesome" schtick that a ton of people have here toward everything Axl does. We all have one thing in common though. We want Axl to succeed and we want his work to be incredible.

BTW, I didn't notice a moniter in the clip.
Most of the time with those award shows the script is on a reflective shield in front of the camera so people don't constantly look off camera to read it.

Did Axl read off the promter? Because it didn't seem like he did.
I was laughing my ass off thinking he didn't.
I found it! phew, long journey it was.

Here's what Jack Black is going to say, and roughly what's going down:
JB: "I'd like to introduce to you the man who took you into the Jungle. Mr. Axl Rose."
Axl: Here's one of my favorite bands out there right now - the Killers!
(of course, Axl could improvise, but that's what was rehearsed.)

The teleprompter is never in view of the television viewers during these award shows.

if they performed a new song, and he mentioned cd's release date plus said this is off our new album and will be our first single it would have been golden..
Did you hear anybody make any kind of release date announcements on that awards show?
I only heard people talking about releases, but I think they had been announced prior to the show...

I saw some comments from Axl at the VMA's that I havent heard before...Not sure if you guys have:
Taken from Backstage Pass website:
The biggest surprise of the MTV Video Music Awards? No, it wasn?t Black Eyed Peas winning best hip-hop video for ?My Humps.? It was the appearance of a smiling, well-adjusted, healthy-looking W. Axl Rose in the press room after his unexpected appearance introducing The Killers on the awards show.
Rose said the new Guns ?N? Roses album ?Chinese Democracy,? more than a decade in the making, will be out ?later this year, finally.? ?We plan to put out [this album] and we plan to make music for many years to come,? said Rose, who looked nothing like a man who would get so angry he would bite a Swedish security guard.
He added that he hadn?t seen Kelly Clarkson?s version of ?Sweet Child O? Mine,? but ?anyone who covers the songs is a good thing.?

All good things.... he should hit up youtube and catch the Clarkson thing. I'm sure it'd make him laugh his ass off.

I still maintain that it is always incredibly crude to try and take away from someone else's moment by promoting yourself. I'm really glad he didn't come out and say a damn thing about the album. Plus I think that in itself solidifies the fact that he's a big enough star that he does need a reason to be on MTV, he can show up if he wants.

I'm sure he'd get a kick out of those Metal Skool guys too. I mean, I would if I was Axl and realized that their whole schtick is to make fun of just about everyone who's fallen off the scene that Axl was a part of and he's the last man standing.
