Slash "Looking Forward" to Chinese Democracy

[von]

James Wigney of Australia's Herald Sun recently conducted an interview with VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

On his current relationship with GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose:

"I'm just glad that he (Axl) is out there doing his thing again. We didn't know what was happening with him for a long time, but I'm looking forward to hearing this album. I heard a live track from a concert supposed to be one of the new ones, but it was so long ago I don't even remember what it sounded like."

The longest new track is TWAT, that was only played twice, and its not even 6 minutes

I wonder if Slash remembers Estranged...

anyway, I dont know why I dont believe Slash ''doesnt remember how a new GNR song sounded''...

the ''I will not talk again about Axl and GNR'' thing didn't last too much...uh?

He said it was so long ago, because of the time, not because of a song... if thats what u mean 

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Nice to hear he's not holding a grudge with Axl for continuing and even moreso that he actually wants to hear the new album.

How on earth can you interpret him saying anything the tiniest bit negative there? Honestly you're trying to find a turd in a bouqet of roses there. He was nothing but nice get over it.

you're right, I'm learning english day after day and I missed the ''ago''. Sorry.

but I still dont believe Slash doesnt know the new songs, as if he just listened to them once, and a long time ago.

I honestly think Slash wants Axl to succeed as does Axl Slash.  I don't think they "hate" each other.  I bet he will get album prior to release.  I bet Axl has Libertad.

Lots of people have Libertad.

Toooooooo shayyyyyyyyy

Agreed.

But I'm sure that Axl perfectly knows all the songs in Contraband, as well as the Snakepit songs, and I'm also sure that he will listen to the new VR album as soon as it is out. It's normal, if WE are curious, they have to be. They were together all their lives, making history and being like brothers, and its VERY hard to believe that Slash has no idea of the new GNR songs (he said he knows one song, but cant remember it well 'cause it was a long time ago), as he stated in this article.

I really think that Slash wants Axl to succed. What I dont know is if he honestly wants Axl to succed under the Guns n' Roses name

Wow, good question.  As long as VR successful, Slash okay with minor success for Axl if he is not in GNR?!?  But if VR bombed, Slash would want no success maybe?  I think ultimately, they both want their best days to be when they were together, but individually will try to top that in their seperate bands.

[evergreen_layne]

I don't think Slash has any beef with Axl.  They're both making money and making new music.  Plus all the pressure is on Axl.  He has to prove he can support the Guns N' Roses name by his lonesome while Slash has already succeeded at starting an entirely new band.  Slash's role in making the Guns N' Roses name a household name will go down in history and he'll never be forgotten.

didn't Libertad leak

i agree. cause if they hated each other they wouldn't want the other to succeed. That and they wouldn't talk to each other secretly

[Smoking Guns]

Did Axl and Slash have their "Last Fight" in 1996?  And then Slash just left?  Wow, listen to the lyrics, you could relate to Axl and Slash.  Maybe I am reaching here.  Ha!

[Rocker_GNR]

I think is an honest opinion. I'm sure Slash enjoys songs as "The blues", "Madagascar" o "Catcher in the Rye"...
I'm glad too, he was kind.

Wonder if Slash will put on Chinese Demoracy, Maybe load them into Pro Tools, Delete the guitar solos and do his own!

WOWWWWWWWWWWW

[BillBailey]

Aren't we all looking forward to the great, epic, mythical, soon to be released on the 12th of never album

I honestly am not sure either Slash wants Axl to succeed without him and vice versa.  At this point Slash has the upper hand as we're STILL WAITING for Chinese Democracy and VR's second album is about to drop.  Not that they wish ill will upon each other, but both are brilliant at what they do and their egos can only get in the way.
