Axl on Better music video and more

[gunns1]

Axl, what is your favourite song, and is it on chinese democracy, or is it yet to be released?  

[eggers]

Hey Axl, have you ever thought of doing the internet album release route like Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead?

[valerio]

AXL are you still in touch with DONATELLA VERSACE?!?

If so tell her that your name is AXL ROSE and not AXL ROSES

please come back to italy AGAIN

i will be in front line

[saint seiya]

brian may's solo, why was it taken out axl? i still love it!!!

[rocketqueenrose]

Me...wheres Brian May  

lol just kidding  

[hooliganscomics]

So whats up with the "Don't want to do it "line from Sorry. Is there a meaning for the way it was sung?

[Ron Jones]

In addition to the shit below:

Do you still think about working with Jeff Lynne?

Hey Axl,

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...

Catcher should be the next single after Better

[mega_music]

Hey Axl,

Are you checking your PM's???

Not rt now. It's a bit slow getting around on here rt now.

Let's talk about Catcher!!

Who's 1st?

What is the true meaning of Catcher?

[Jim Bob]

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.

Thank you SO MUCH for answering this one.    Robin is my favorite guitarist.. the This I Love solo is the most beautiful on the album.    I always figured this was a see where thing stand.

Prostitute is my favorite track, but I love all 14 songs.  Its rare you get an album with no filler at all.    

Axl, don't let the naysayers get you down.   We fucking love you and come back to Vegas!!!!!

[eggers]

Catcher is one of the best songs on the album, why no Brian?

[reed2009]

Catcher should be the next single after Better

When was it written? I suppose this is the tribute to John Lennon you mentioned in RollingStone a long time ago..

Small comment, but I love that "Oh-Oh Ho", in the mix just before you sing the first line. Can you comment on the inspiration for it?

[SterileEyes]

Not that I listened to the early leaks or anything (sorry, I still bought the vinyl and the CD!)

But is it fair to say that the feel of the song changed so much over the years that the solo Robin did ultimately fit the song better than what Brian May came up with all those years ago?

[Dexter]

Axl/Dexter, I'm fixing to pack everyhting I own into my car and drive out to L.A. from Arkansas to give a career in music a shot. Any advice? Or should I just shit in my pants, dive in and swim?

Follow your heart, don't sell out and read every book on the biz u can find.
