Wow, not even sure where to begin. It has been an amazing week that ended with one of the most incredibly special nights of radio in my 23-year career. I always preach that I do a different type of radio show and you never know what will happen, and last night backs that up BIG TIME! It is all over the web and news that Axl Rose picked my show to break a silence of over a decade. Sure Axl has done some very small interviews in the past, but this was a 2 1/2 hour hang with me, Sebastian Bach, Scott Ian and Chris Jericho. When he walked into the studio to join us everyone was almost speechless for a second. There is WAY too much to talk about and cover. From how and why it happened, to what happened off the air, to what happened after the radio show ended and we hit the town until 6AM. Axl looked great and was totally cool. His only request was no photos, which is why none exist online. So much to tell you guys and I will post in much more detail very soon. In all honesty I am just completely wiped out and need some time to chill on all this. I was the first to play the new music years ago, and now the first to have an in depth interview with the legend himself! It was also great to clear the air and any tension with Axl between Mike Piazza and me over the leak. Mike actually called in and Axl was cool. I cannot say THANK YOU enough to Sebastian Bach for making this all possible! Bas and I spent a couple days together doing radio and TV in support of the new Supergroup show and told me he would get this to happen and he did. Simply put this would never have happened with out Bas, I owe you big time bro! Axl - thank you for this incredible exclusive and for being so cool and hanging. Who knows, maybe we will do it again soon...

Where were you when the show was happening?

I showed up on the forums after the WAXQ webstream had died and had to rely on MP3 files of the show that fans had recorded.

I came home from work and i was like HOLY SHIT. Tonight I came home from work and the same thing happened!!!

[Chief]

i listened to some of it live... it was pretty insane. i hope he does another interview this year!

[newgnr]

i was fortunate enough to be around that night, however i couldn't stream it  .

Instead I read updates on a live chat from ppl who could listen to it live.  It was stil pretty cool.  I still have the whole show on itunes.  In fact, I just listened to it like a week ago.

My fav. part is when baz talks about axl buying $800 caviar (sp?) and when they were talking with diamond dave.

[The Dog]

I remember that, it was cool as hell...a year ago?...how time flies...

was that really a year ago??  wow.  seems like just a few months.  where does the time go....

[estebanf]

I was shitting my pants, being petrified in front of my PC...

Hearing Axl Rose voice live after so many years was...magnetic. His voice is magnetic.

Anyone else think its kind of sad we are celebrating the year long anniversary of a radio show interview...

[pollyblue]

strangely enough, i listened to the interview again yesterday evening without knowing it was 1 year ago. coincidence? i don't know.

[HBK]

I remember... Cry...

Thankz Axl by GNR from 1985... Thanz BAZ for Be FIENDS..

I actually did that too, how strange   

[GnR-NOW]

This time last year was so exciting to be a GNR fan.  I remember I was actually just messing around on this site, then I read a post that say Axl might go on Trunk,  so I like many of you listened in online for a good hour and a half.  Then a week later the 4 shows.  Awesome time !!!  I don't think there is anything GNR can do better then that aside from the obvious.

Yea it was duuuuude whhhhy you being suck a dickkkkkkkk.

[Axlfreek]

God i cant belive that was a year ago. wow.

[November_Rain]

I don?t know where I was a year ago,I just know my pc fucked up a few months ago and I lost most of my GNR stuff with this interview in mp3 included

[JDA]

Sad.  We are going no where.

[Naupis]

Sad.  We are going no where.

That is not the case at all. Didn't you get the memo about the major tour Guns has lined up down under. Bands don't need to release new albums of their own material just to be considered "going somewhere". Just be happy Guns are active right now and be excited for the fans who will see them this summer.

I was going to head to bed, but instead I went on the computer for a sec.

I caught the whole interview until the stream crashed. That was a great night

[LittleFly]

Damn, it's been a year!?? I was home alone that night and stayed up till I think 4 am to listen to this show ? It was fuckin awesome.? I was also in a chat room with other people and IMing with a friend about it too.

What an great time that was?

Edit- ^^ yeah me too!  I was bored and about to go to sleep, but wanted to check online before I did.  SO glad I did that lol

[Kitty]

I had just gotten home from a movie, was going to go straight to bed, decided at the last minute to pop online for a second, this was about five minutes before axl got on. It was definately memorable sitting around listening to it. Seems so weird reflecting over the past year now that i think about it. Just this time last year I was amazed to be hearing his voice. Little did I know that in just a few months time I would see the band multiple times, and get to meet the man himself.
