[AliveOrJustBreathing]

hi axl, wanted to ask, you mentioned previously that you had wanted to release a booklet for chinese democracy with just artwork.....is this the one being released with the boxset for chinese democracy out next week?

[achilles]

Axl, thank you so much for chatting with us. The album is amazing. Thanks also for the amazing gig at Nijmegen (netherlands). Please come back some time soon.

Oh yeah: just have to ask this qustion: what is your favourite cigar brand? Try dutch cigars sometimes. They're great.

[SalamiGlasgow]

Axl?Don?t know how much of a news man you are?But what do you say?. Keith Olbermann or Bill O?Reilly?....Or maybe my personal pick, dark horse Rachel Maddow?

Just no Wolf Blitzer please?.

off the top of your head could u name the 3 coolest things happening in music right now (apart from gnr of course!)

[Demon Wolf]

Hey Axl.

I recall you once said something along the lines of "I didn't know where I'd be if I didn't have Freddie Mercury's lyrics to hold on to as a kid"

Well, I didn't know where I'd be without your music. So, I just want to say thanks for the brilliant songs you've written over the years and I hope to hear many more.

Hi Axl!

Concerning the video for Better, will it be a "live concert compilation", or did you shoot something specifically for the music video?

[R9fanatik]

Wow Axl what a super surprise?? Thanks for start world tour 2007 at monterrey Mexico was the best concert in my life i will die for live that concert again.

Are u planning to tour in mexico again??
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

[zqyx79]

Do you remeber show in Warsaw(Poland)?
Do you remember roses here? That was the best show of my whole life. I hope Guns comeback here

Chinese Democracy is really amazing !

[Dexter]

As a native Colombian I must ask:

In 1992, while performing November Rain in Bogota (in November), it rained.

Wait no....it poured.

How weird was that, eh?

Very surreal and religious feeling. So was being chased by the military in our plane down the runway gettin' outta Dodge there!!

Axl will you tour Australia next year, and when are you looking at doing so?

If you could work with buckethead again, would you have him just in studio, or also would you welcome him in the touring lineup?

Austrailia's great and the crowds are really alive. No plans yet but I'm sure there will be.

I have no issues with Bucket. It's hard to tell what was real or not in things we were told by Merck. He's more than welcome to tour with us in some form or other provided we're both interested at the time and come to some type of reasonable terms. Personally I have a blast w/Bucket on tour and get a big kick out of the guy. A lot of feelings were hurt on this side of the fence in how things went down and unfortunately others used our silence and the public's not knowing for their own purposes at both Bucket's and our expense.

Now that you said that please tell us if Robin's out or not... because, otherwise, we'll be reading several 'Axl wants Bucket back and Robin/Bumble/Richard out' type of threads for the entire '09 year and these threads annoy us, the new lineup fans.

Axl is Sorry about an inner dialogue?

[Jim Bob]

Axl, thank for you for Chinese Democracy, and thank you for touring in 2006.    I traveled to New York and Los Angeles, and also caught both shows at the Joint here in Vegas!   The band you put together that year was the most solid GnR lineup I've ever seen!!    

If I could ask anything, what has become of the song "Silkworms" and will you be bringing teh band back to Las Vegas anytime soon?  

Thank you for coming here to talk to us!    I can't stop listening to the new album, its the best one yet.  

[ecwfan]

                   Axl some more questions  (whew late in the East Coast)....

 1.)  Is "This I Love" your favorite track on the album ?

 2.)  It was nice to see you and Izzy Stradlin on tour stops in 2006. Could you 2 ever reunite togethor ?

 

[Steelheart]

Thanks for the music Axl! It's been a great inspiration for me.

[rocketqueenrose]

Why do you feel that new bend gets a much warmer welcome in Canada and Europe over the US audiences?

Saw you in toronto in 02/06 -  also next tour I want Estranged and Coma  

[Will]

Axl, you rock man. Really cool to communicate with the fans on the boards!

I was wondering if you have any nice memories from your concert in Paris in 2006? All the French-speaking fans are saying hello, please come back to Paris next year!
By the way, Bumblefoot was here in Paris two days ago, it was great talking to him too.

Thanks for the album, it rocks, especially Sorry!
