I don't know what excites me more, CD or the first exclusive Axl interview

[D]

The album of course is what we all want, but I have been waiting over a decade just to really hear Axl speak and as Del James said, "Set a lot of shit straight"

I am thinking of the enormous Rolling Stone issue or whatever magazine he gives the first one to *I wish he'd do an interview DVD and include it with CD" that would be awesome. But anyway, Getting to hear what he's been doing, how he feels about events that have happened. His side of the split, What he thinks of the music industry today.

So many awesome things I can't wait to get Axl's perspective on and to just really find out all the little behind the scenes details etc.

All I can say is when Axl does speak it will be the TRUTH ! no more listening to old band members reliving their past and not being able to put it behind them.

You say that but how do you know it is infact the truth? Some issues will be true & some will possibly be false. An interview is one persons conceptions of events not a solid fact

it wont' be the truth, just HIS perspective on things. but it's the one i'm most looking forward to. hope he shares something soon.

I remember Roger Waters talking about the fact that  it is only human nature, that over the course of passing years, one's personal recollections are unconsciously skewed by internal emotions and feelings. This is how one persons memories of distant shared experiences are often different to anothers, and each of them will remember their own personal role in it differently to how the other person saw it.

[Jim]

Aye... And that's why Gilmour has got such a problem.

Boom boom!

[Olorin]

Exactly, but Water's has equally got a problem with Gilmour.

[Jim]

Oh, no doubt. I was joking. Although...

... Waters was really keen on a reunion, very much so, and it was Gilmour that was the problem. He wasn't interested at all. Sadly now, it doesn't matter.

A tip though. Were Waters truly as keen as he had been saying of late, it probably wasn't best advised to mention in the program for his last tour that he thought that his live band played Dark Side of the Moon better than his fellow Pink Floyd members did !!

... Wait. Hang on. Chinese Democracy is coming out this year !! I'll put the Floyd thoughts on hold.

I forgot that we actually have something relevant and interesting to talk about with regard to the Roses now. My bad!

[Olorin]

lol, yeah old habits die hard, and hopefully we have heard the last of Axl's bloody shoes till at least the next tour

The first Axl interview.

[willow]

I have to admit having already heard a lot of the cd. The Axl interview. Bring it on Axl. We all are patiently waiting to hear what you have to say!
This has been such a long time coming. I am so glad that Axl and company will finally get rewarded for all thier hard work!

[Wheres Izzy]

I'd rather have CD by a long shot. As much as I would like to hear Axl's perspective on a lot of stuff that went down, overall the music is what matters. Plus you have to factor in whoever the interviewer is and all the stupid questions they'll probably go through before any good ones.

[Lord Kayoss]

I've always been intrigued by the thought of Axl doing a big interview.  Wouldn't be surprised to see it when the album drops.

[Silverchair]

I wouldn't do an interview... I would just do a statement or a book if I was Axl.

I know what questions a stupid-ass reporter is going to ask.

1) Why did CD take so long?
2) Why did GN'R split up?
3) Are there chances of a reunion?
4) Do you talk to Slash?
5) So... GN'R are getting back together?
6) What have you been upto the last 15 years?

I wouldn't want to sit there and listen to some ignorant reporter.

The only person I see interviewing Axl is Kurt Loder. Axl apperantly likes him.

It'll be interesting to hear (for me that is) why Merck couldn't get it done and Azoff/Gould could possibly get it done this year. They already achieved more than any previous management with Shacklers and If The World.

[horsey]

it would be an interesting interview really.i think that would be great if it happens. :beer:here's to hopin.

It's total speculation on my part, but I'm sure timing has quite a bit to do with as well, not diminishing *anything* that Azoff / Gould have accomplished in their time working with the band.  Given the large cast that has contributed to CD in one form or another, the legal logistics in terms of compensation and credit must be staggering, to say the least...

Agree.
However Azoff is the expert when it comes to the exclusive thing, somehow i cannot see that Merck would come close in such a deal.
Of course we're never gonna know.
Just release the damn thing! 

[Butch Français]

the first Axl interview might stall for as long as CD stalled (or forever)...who knows.
I'd love to hear it more than anything, but I have absolutely no hopes about this.

[Johnnyblood]

He did do a very long radio interview with Eddie Trunk (when Bas called him in). I listened to that whole thing and don't recall much insight coming from it. When there were tough questions, Axl usually dodged them. What would shock me is if Axl actually admitted some wrongdoing (in the GNR breakup as well as the many CD delays). That'd be a signal he's ready to play ball.
