Axl on Better music video and more

[Ignatius]

Axl, what is your favorite Velvet Revolver song? What is your least favorite?

And the point of this question is....? Can't you come up with anything better?

You know, not everyday Axl Rose comes to this board to chat with us...so let's try to make him feel comfortable so maybe he'll come back.

Axl,

Would you consider a show like 'Later with Jools holland' (UK TV Show) to come and play a few songs?

Thanks

ok last question before i head off to take mid midterms!

we know that you guys reworked and recorded AFD for the 2001-2002 tour and even a snipit of Sweet Child appeared in the Big Daddy credits....
question is - Is there any chance of you releasing/streaming/letting us fans preview these someday?  
 i'm real interested in how you guys would sound ripping up the studio with that 3 guitar attack on those tunes as well!

[Pinball Wizard]

Axl, I can't tell you how bizarre I find that you are posting on online message boards! I mean, it's so unreal! It's SO FUCKING COOL!!! THANKS!!  

Here's my question(s):

How are the plans about going on tour? Any thoughs about it right now? What should we expect? I'd love to see the band playing Chinese Democracy on it's entirelly. It's a great album, end to end, and I think songs like Sorry, Scraped and This I Love would sound AMAZING live!

When did you write This I Love and how did you come up with that? And what is it really about? It's such a beautiful song, but as a songwritter myself I don't like to say that a song it's about a lost love judging only by it's lyrics, I mean, we can fool a lot of people into thinking it's a love song using that kind of structure, and it seems like such a introspective song, you can tell you put your heart and soul on it! Kudos on that! It's the most beautiful song you EVER recorded!  

When you come to Brazil next year(c'mon, I know you will, you love here!  ), tell Fernando to give a call if you need a roadie!  

[Gunzen]

Damn nice to see Axl speak.  Too bad I missed him.  I hope he is well, and grats to all of us fans who stuck by him, we were duely rewarded.

Axl, what kind of Motorcycle do you ride?  Dicati?  Harley???

[ecwfan]

Dexter/Axl ,

                How do you feel about Velvet Revolver getting a singer who sounds like you & Josh Todd ? Think it will work for them ?

[aussiegunner]

Axl..... You are the greatest frontman of all time... Sydney 2007 fucking rocked man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for being here... I am totally blown away your here!!!!

I had my own Chinese Democracy party man, EVERYONE LOVES the album..

Thank you for being here, the awesome album/s and for being you.

Rock on AXL.

I've been reading the lyrics to Prostitute and hearing them in my head continuously on a daily basis and lines like "Why would they tell me to please those that laugh in my face" come across as personal references to people in the record industry and possibly fans, friends and colleagues.

With that in mind, if I may ask, who is Sorry in reference to? I find this song one of THE most spiteful of your career and blisteringly bitter, making it a personal favourite of mine.

I am a big Mustaine fan after all (explains my fondness for the anger in songs)

[Dexter]

Axl,

- What is your honest opinion on why the old lineup disintegrated ?

- What is your honest opinion on why it took so long for CD to come out ?

I think that's what most people want to know but dare not ask ...

2 great but complicated questions and I agree that people would like to know at least my take on things.

Not avoiding them here but they deserve more than I can give as we've been at this a little while. But I'm attempting to speak out on several issues these being a major focus over the coming weeks and months. What I can say now is u've been told a lot of things in order for others to promote themselves that factually they cannot backup in regard to either. They are complicated legally, financially and have devoured a good portion of my life.

The record Chinese u may have is nothing short of a miracle in almost each and every way that either it or I exist imo under the bizarre and ugly conditions of the last over 15yrs.

Thanks everyone and thanks for all the support and the positive comments both 2nite and over the years. I hope to do this again soon, maybe sooner than u'd think! And u didn't scare me off I'm just burnt and would rather not misspeak on issues that may mean a lot to some.

Thanks again.

Peace,

Axl-

And Checkmate is a bogus title.
















The working title is Jackie Chan.

This is really cool of you axl. What a great way to communicate directly with the fans. It is greatly appreciated. I don't have a question or anything. I just wanna say i've been a huge fan for a very long time. Ever since i heard sweet child of mine way back when i was 11 years old i've been hooked.

[saint seiya]

good night axl, and thanks to devoting some time to answer our questions . now off to bed for me..

[hitmanhart408]

thank you Axl for everything, especially tonight!!

Its time to hit the sack FINALLY

[hebbesy]

Hey Axl,

Wow, I can now understand why you prefer not to answer sometimes as it just gets twisted to suit other peoples ideals. I always believed you were Bi Polic but this was due to the interview and the often reported in other peoples eyes as errattic behaviour, thanks for clearing that up.

Great album by the way looking forward tos eeing you in England 2009 hopefully. I had a few chats with Richard and news on the live DVD.

Thanks,
Alex

[Evolution]

Thank you, Axl
