Axl on Better music video and more

[Cuzon]

Axl!!

Absolutely love the album, all the songs are mindblowing. Buckethead's solo in There was a time influenced me to learn guitar and my life has been better ever since, i wanna start a band soon enough haha. Just a few Q's, i understand if you don't/can't answer them:

1) Hows the guitar playing going? It says you played on 2 tracks(madagascar and TWAT). In TWAT were you playing the rhythm strumming just as Robin's solo starts?

2) Any word on the Robin situation? I understand if you can't answer this one.

3) In some of the songs(this i love and Maddy), there are slight references to God etc. Are you a religious person? Understand if you can't answer this one.

4) Whats your MSN address? hahahha kidding.... maybe...

Thanks Axl heaps for answering my question,
I would love if Bucket came back in the mix in 09
what ever is good for guns is good for me,  

How was touring with Angry Anderson in Australia, is he really an angry bastard,
or is he a cool man to hang out with?

Hey Axl IF YOU CAN PLEASE READ THIS IT WOULD MEAN A TON TO ME!

First off I just want to say that the reason I respect you is because you refuse to Downplay. I use that word the most when it comes to talking about you because what makes you 100% genuine is that you show you don't care in the most natural and least cliche ways possible. I've also learned that how everybody describes feelings and music as "heavy" is fucked up. You can write a song like This I love and that is heavy and that takes balls. A song like "estranged" or "this i love" can change the whole vibe in a room whether the the people in that room want it or not. That is you...to me. This seems unrealistic but..I wrote a song that contains lyrics inspired by u called "the strip". It asks the public to do the strip cause they are fake. www.myspace.com/killandrade...

Axl would you and guys ever play at the Roxy or any of the old clubs like back in the day? Maybe like warm up gigs.   And what do you think of the book that Mark put out Reckless Road?

Street of Dreams?


I think Madagascar is still my favorite. that song still gets me 7 years after hearing it for the first time..... Oops..........

Hey Axl,

 Long time fan. looking forward to seeing a 20th GNR show... one question, if you get to see it.

Musically are you satisfied , or do you still have a fire inside to keep assaulting us fans with music that inspires Not only yourself BUT so Many others ?

Hey Dex,

Hammersmith was one of the best nights I have had, I love the venue more than most venues in the UK, are you going to play another gig there in the near future?

Also what do you think of the Manic Street Preachers, there one of my personal favourite bands and yourselves and Hannoy Rocks were there biggest influences.

Thanks for your time,
Alex

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.

It really is what it is. No decisions have been made by either him, I or us that I'm aware of.

When we're touring or working in the studio or there's social things like a friend's dinner or party whatever we would hang. But as people get older they have their own lives. The Stones aren't going bowling every Tuesday etc.

Robin leads one of the most different lives I know of starting with the trapeze in his backyard to the tv in his closet. Robin's work on the next is done so there's not lots for him to do here except the elusive promo and he'd rather be on stage.

It's more about seeing where things are when Guns decides it's right for a tour and if we're able to make agreements we both are comfortable and can live with at that time.
