Axl and GN'R on VH1's That Metal Show 11.11.11 (was: So Eddie Trunk's in FL)

This is some serious journalism going on here. 

I think the interview would be so much better without Eddie and his 2 buddies there.

Well with all these samples we almost heard the whole thing

I agree, his question asking is a little long winded at times. It's like "Dude, shut up! Axl Rose is sitting right there!!"

That's what I was thinking. The asshole in me sometimes thinks he only wanted this interview to put himself in the spotlight.

[Lara]

^Of course he did. Yet he's trying to sound like a huge fan and wastes so much precious time on kissing Axl's ass.

I kind of gotta agree with what some of you are saying considering that Trunk mentioned during his radio show last week that he didn't even watch the entire GN'R concert he was at.  I'm sorry, but film crew or not, I wouldn't allow anyone to stop me from seeing the entire concert, unless you didn't want to see it in the first place! 

Sometimes I feel it is all about Trunk, when I don't really even know who the guy is, other than he interviewed Axl once before.  Along with other things he mentioned on his show last week, borderline complaints, I just don't think he appreciated how lucky he really was to be able to do the interview. 

Also Trunk and this other guy mentioned money and not getting paid when joking about other things they have done in the past, which leads me to believe that he was paid the exact same amount as if he was just doing a regular VH1 show, his job btw.  Absolutely nothing to be disappointed about there, unless someone was hoping for a big check.

Regardless I'm really looking forward to the interview and hope to be able to see it soon!!  Respects..

I actually like Trunk's style, its hard work having a conversation when its all about asking questions, sometimes the interviewer needs to coax an answer from the interviewee... If Axl was put into a place where it was just "Who, when, why, where, what and how?" to every question without the human element to the conversation, the interview would last about half an hour.  This is a return to, what hopefully is the first of many interviews we are gonna hear, let this start begin in such a way that he'll open up some more at a later date. 

Some of you guy seem to live on a "can't wait -won't wait" time scale, guess what, you need a little patience...

[Fingers]

From what I've seen, they are asking good questions, Axl is the one who seems to be doing more of the kidding around

[Fingers]

The question about whether or not he felt outside pressure to put CD out, Axl laughed and kidded around at first, but finally admitted he did, which in the past he basically would say stuff like "wait for Jesus, I hear the payoff is better".

[LunsJail]

I guess I should give Trunk the benefit of the doubt and see the whole interview first.

[Fingers]

From what I gather, he has asked (that we know of ) so far, about if new music is coming out, what he thinks of Chinese Democracy today, why he comes out late, Hall of Fame, Izzy, was he able complete CD with blinders on and not feel pressure from public (which got the answer, surprisingly, he did, and read posts about it during the time)-and remember, TMS is geared toward more a general VH! audience-for example, Eddie is not going to ask about a new version of Silkworms, or why Oh My God is not on the setlist right now-I think they are actually asking great questions.

[bolton]

AXL ROSE Explains GUNS N' ROSES' Concert Tardiness (Video) - Nov. 10, 2011

GUNS N' ROSES singer and sole original member Axl Rose taped an hour-long interview with VH1's "That Metal Show" following the band's show in Miami on October 29, the second of its newly launched U.S. tour. The talk will air on Friday, November 11 as part of VH1 Classic's "National Metal Day" and will also include a live performance of "Live And Let Die" from the Florida concert.

Several new preview video clips of the interview can be seen below.

When asked about GUNS N' ROSES' continual stage tardiness, with long waits for Axl just as much a definite at a the band's concert as hearing "Paradise City" or "Welcome To The Jungle", Rose said, "Well, [I'm] not complaining or [saying this] to be a wuss or whatever, but a lot of times, the day of show, for some reason, [that's when] things start going wrong. People are making mistakes ? you're making mistakes, they're making mistakes ? and nobody even knows why. It's like things that you go, 'Well, I should know this.' It's like everybody gets hit by A.D.D. or whatever. And so, you're trying to sort through that, and get yourself in the right headspace and physical, whatever, that you've got to work through? It's more like sports and having to play the big game. I think we're doing better as far as that goes [nowadays]."

He continued, "A lot of this goes way, way back, though, to 1991 when we were super-late going on stage. And that really more has to do with I should not have been on tour. I only went on tour because of three reasons. My manager had booked a tour without authorization ? he just booked a tour ? and then I'm gonna be sued for it. He was also telling me that if [then-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist] Slash dies of [a] heroin [overdose], or whatever, it's my fault. And Slash pushing me. I should not have agreed to that tour, but I didn't know how to get out of it after it was booked. And the only thing that started cutting down the late times was when I realized it was really being hard on the crew. The band didn't care about me, so my head wasn't about them. The public, like I said, it was a different kind of violent crowd; it was a back-and-forth thing whether they wanted you to succeed or tear you apart. But the big thing was that the crew was having trouble, that was really supportive of me, and they weren't getting enough sleep. And I didn't want anybody getting hurt. And once that happened, I started getting myself? figuring out a way to get there sooner. But it was also about trying to get the album done, get the album out. There was a lot to what was going on there. And then, I lived right behind my school and I couldn't make it to the class in grade school. I had a job at the grocery store down the street and I'm running down the street with wet hair, trying to tie my tie, and a sandwich in one hand."

[Ulises]

There's got to be a way to watch it outside the US.
