[grog mug]

So Baz and the rest of the GN'R members are claiming its going to come up.  Once and for all....WHAT IS HOLDING IT UP?? REALLY WHAT IS IT!?!??!

[kunzerd]

i dont doubt its existence, or how productive axl has been, but after all this time it is very easy to feel pesimistic about its release.

what i will say though is that quite frankly i dont care. i just dont care if its released and its not that ive lost interest in it so much as im happy with what ive heard from it so far. if nothing else ends up out there thats fine, because in my mind i got justification. i got new gnr.

that wont stop me from buying it on release, but it has stopped me from complaining about it not being out. i tell you what i miss more then an album, is after a flood of gnr shows in new york last year, it felt weird to go through '07 without a gnr show. i miss the energy.

That Matt Cord interview with Preston and Steve was a lot better than Preston and Steve interview with Slash.  Those two took the typical, pathetic cheap shots at Axl and tried to bait Slash into talking shit about Axl.  Kudos to Slash for taking the high road.

agreed. and now that i think about it, ive heard that happen to slash dozens of times and ive yet to hear him really say a bad word about axl. even in his autobiography he puts things as he did on the show 'the guy has his own problems, and you see what comes of it' but he never really knocks his work or tries to make him look like a bad guy.

I cant get the Baz file to download..Could someone please put it up for download??

[33]

The interview with Baz is top draw! The man is insane!! Must be great to interview him, but he also talks a huge amount of sense! Also I hope all the stuff he said about Axl, the band and the album will shut up all the doubters out there!!!

[russtcb]

I can't download it either. It'll stream but it won't download. Listening to it now anyways, thanks!

[horsey]

i liked when he said  axl pulled up in an enzo.to the studio he drove.i think that is so kool too.and baz really does love his axl rose .you can tell when he talks about him.it just shines like a beacon or something beautiful.i think the interview was more about axl then baz but it turned out to be more about baz  later in the interview.i think if they can't get axl then baz is close enough i guess.and the part about philly made sense from what baz said.i like that also,philly never forgets.and they should really.give axl a break afterall.and let him back in philly to rock out.i think it's going to happen sooner or later.axl will play philly again,lets hope right.

/jarmo

That made me laugh out aloud! And Im at my work right now so everyone turned around!!

Nobody in the Guns n Roses camp can say 'I told you so' when the album eventually comes out. Its taken too long, and theres been too many delays for them to be smug when it does eventually come out.

I was 16 when I first began waiting with bated breath on this record.. Im now 24. A lots changed. Meh.

[guns_n_motley]

baz is on Connecticutts WCCC in 15minutes

[sixgnr]

cause axl was put way back. and baz and someone more sang on it 2

was it the official single?

SEBASTIAN BACH: 'AXL ROSE Has Lived A Life None Of Us Could Ever Imagine' - Nov. 2, 2007

Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach was recently interviewed by Matt Chord of Philadelphia's 93.3 WMMR. An excerpt from the chat follows:

Q: You have a new record coming out, "Angel Down", November 20. We've been waiting for songs from Axl Rose for about 15 years, and all of a sudden, you get him to sing on your record. How did that work, did you text him, did you call him?

Sebastian: "We've done about 80 shows with GUNS N' ROSES all over the world. At Christmas we did three nights at Universal Ampitheater in Hollywood... Axl had a Christmas party, we were playing pool. He played 'Chinese Democracy', a song called 'Sorry' came on and I started singing a harmony over top of the chorus. Axl loved that and booked studio time at Electric Lady in New York the next week, and I sang on 'Chinese Democracy'. So then, I was being silly and texted Axl, 'When are you going to sing on my record?' and he texted back, just one word, 'When' ... He sang three songs on my record."

Q: What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about Axl Rose?

Sebastian: "They think that 'Chinese Democracy' is never coming out... that is #1 misconception, 'cause I've heard it... like, it exists. To me I think it has a lot more to do with the business side of it. I've heard four albums' worth of material that's incredible. So when people go 'Is it ever coming out?', I go 'Yeah! And you're gonna feel stupid when it does.'"

Q: He's a very down-to-earth kinda person.

Sebastian: "I wouldn't call him down to earth. He's lived a life none of us could ever imagine, because of the level of success he has achieved. GUNS N' ROSES is bigger than rock. They're not a metal or rock band, they're like the STONES, or LED ZEPPELIN, or THE BEATLES, to a lot of people. He can't go out on the street and walk around. Like, when I was in London, England, I went to Hyde Park, played frisbee with the road crew ? he can't do stuff like that. And that must really suck... Paparazzi's always there. It's just a different life... and I've watched millions of people that were in a room with the man, and they don't say what they think ? they try to figure out what he wants them to say to make him like them and then they'll say that. I've seen people get so flipped out, but when he's in the room with them, he can't get a straight answer out of them. He's not like a human, he's like a demigod walking around."

Q: He does have a bad reputation in town ? December 8th 2002, it was a no-show.

Sebastian: "Go do an interview with him there. I wasn't on that tour... I don't know what to say. I read all the time about Paul Stanley cancelling shows ? nobody goes 'Paul Stanley, man, what's up?!'? I just did a whole GN'R tour, 80 shows... they cancelled one show, out of 80 shows. That's not unheard of..."

Q: I always stick up for the lineup when people go "It's not the true GN'R..."

Sebastian: "It's not... but then what's better... Slash and Duff doing STONE TEMPLE PILOTS songs? I'd rather hear Axl sing 'Welcome To The Jungle' with Tommy Stinson on bass... I love Duff McKagan, but he's busy." (Laughs)

Q: You had a great line about Brain at the Hammerstein... "Where was this guy when you hired Matt Sorum??"

Sebastian: "To me, Brain is one of the best drummers I've ever seen in my life. I love drummers that kinda play behind beat, with that cool, sleazy groove like John Bonham, Joey Kramer, or Steven Adler on 'Appetite', and to me, Brain plays with that swagger and cool factor. And I watched this guy with GUNS, and I couldn't believe how incredible he was. Then I bought the new TOM WAITS record, and I look at the credits... Drums: Brain. I go... this guy! TOM WAITS, PRIMUS, GN'R ? he's amazing."

So Baz and the rest of the GN'R members are claiming its going to come up.? Once and for all....WHAT IS HOLDING IT UP?? REALLY WHAT IS IT!?!??!

To me It?s obvious.

Legalities....thats it, legal issues are your answer I?ve been saying it for years but no one wants to believe it. In my opinion Until a Judge says the former band members wont profit from Chinese Democracy, it is my belief that It won?t be released and I really can?t blame Axl For that if it?s true.

^^Mysteron said in another thread today...

The delay is being caused by the record company. The ball is in their court now.

[SpiritDave]

Thing is ... a lot of the questions thrown at Baz from all interviewers relates to Axl ... and in all honesty, Baz crawls around inside the GnR ass like nobody's business.  He's a talented guy and I love some of his stuff but the dude praises the new GnR as if they're all forms of Jesus.  It's boring and even worse considering he has slagged off the ex GnR members ... and we all know that's because he didn't get the job in VR.  I really wish the whole Axl and GnR thing would be dropped ... they Ask Baz as much about Axl and co as they ask Slash!  I don't wanna hear the same shit over and over from Baz just like I don't wanna hear the same shit over and over from Slash.  I wish the interviewers would come up with new questions.

Btw, I'm not relating to this interview specifically, just commenting on the overall interviews I've heard in general.

[jarmo]

It must be really horrible to have to hear somebody who actually knows Axl say nice things about him.

I can understand that you're tired of hearing Slash talking about Axl because he's done it for over ten years now and you probably want him to focus on talking about himself. 




Baz says a lot of smart things. For example pointing out the simple fact that nobody can understand what Axl goes through because none of us live that kind of life.
