Brain interview (Feb 2015) on the I'd Hit That podcast

[mortismurphy]

Jesus, Jarmo, it was a stylistic choice. I have already explained that I find 'anxious' too timid a term. 'Riotous', to me, seems more appropriate for a Guns N' Roses crowd 'going crazy', at 12:30 in the morning waiting for Axl to arrive. If it was an opera crowd and the overture was delayed by thirty minutes, I might be tempted by the word 'anxious'. Neither term are incorrect. I chose one, you prefer the other.

I cannot believe you are taking that joke as a mere factional rendering of the fact. You really cannot see the irreverent tone in that interview, can you, not just in that passage but whenever Axl and GN'R are discussed?

[jarmo]

For me personally I would rather have two all time great songs, than 100 songs that I would just skip over.  I am a fan of quality over quantity   

I agree with this.

Most artists are always excited about their latest release. Then a few years later, you go back to that album and you find yourself only listening to a handful of tracks.

Hasn't happened with Chinese Democracy.

Riotous', to me, seems more appropriate for a Guns N' Roses crowd 'going crazy', at 12:30 in the morning waiting for Axl to arrive.

Of course it is.

I cannot believe you are taking that joke as a mere factional rendering of the fact.

Well, the fact is, it's a fact! At least he didn't take your suggestion about saying Axl was doing yoga, or watching TV or something ridiculous like that.

Did you listen to the part about Buckethead's puppet? That wasn't a joke, but they were laughing until they probably had tears in their eyes. It's still a fact...

I thought this interview was very interesting.

But Jarmo.....I don't get why you're going out of your way to point out that Brain didn't badmouth Axl here. Hell, even Slash and Duff don't badmouth him in interviews these days. Plus it's not like anyone here seemed to be holding on to the belief that Brain left over some issue with Axl.

Au Contraire, feast your eyes on this spin from Moaning Mortis-

He goes on about his frustration with the gig delays at length and even makes a joke at Axl's expense (about Axl having a back massage while a crowd went riotous). I have not got time to transcribe these sections but it is all there in the interview. Listen to it. Basically, Jarmo has omitted all of the juicy anecdotes and humour in his transcription and produced a tame boring summary consisting of platitudes. In reality, the interview is 'gossipy'. Brain and the interviewer are basically laughing at the craziness and bullshit, that is new gnr. It is full of talking points and revelations. As I said, listen to it.

How ridiculous, you have no case and you aren't Perry Mason, you are simply an anonymous "fan" on an internet forum that is devoted to a band that you try to discredit, disparage, fantasize about, and paint in the worst possible colors on a repetitive and continual basis  because you apparently have personal issues.

Go whine somewhere else, some of us know better than to listen to your nonsense and drivel.

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

Its fascinating how someone can find so much time in his life with arguing with every board member about everything, when he doesnt like their opinions.

Seriously, dude...

Love it, how they crack up about Bucket talking via a puppet

[Sosso]

The name is Herbie and not just "puppet".

[jarmo]

But Jarmo.....I don't get why you're going out of your way to point out that Brain didn't badmouth Axl here.

Because some listen for things in interviews that they want to hear and then post about how this person said this and that. When in reality it's just spun that way.

Really?  No idea?

[jarmo]

Please stop your pointless replies now.

[D-GenerationX]

I thought I might be able to shed some light.  Clear up the confusion.

I'm a helper by nature.

[jarmo]

Then do it, add it to your post.

Smart ass.

Unless your next reply is on topic, it will be moderated accordingly.

I personally find it hilarious that Axl is getting a massage while the crowd is waiting... ha I really do...

Apparently Brain thought so too. Theres no spin there... it just looks bad.

But jarmo doesn't care for any of you to point it out... and if you come here just to point it out and get a rise out of him... then you are going to see his push back... there has to be a better way to express any gripes.

Other than that tho.. Everything Brain said was pretty much complimentary minus the silliness of the Buckethead stuff. (he was a disaster.. I don't care how great anybody think's he is as a player)

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

I don't get why someone can't see that there are some negative aspects Brain is pointing out and how obviously ridiculous he finds them (and which they are), like the rehearsals for Rio, or the waiting.

It shouldnt be too big of a deal to point out negative stuff about guns. Its not the end of the world.

[D-GenerationX]

Then do it, add it to your post.

Smart ass.

Yes, I'll take 'Entrapment' for $200, Alex.

Amazing talent.  But really, who's putting up with all that nonsense?

I suppose you could perhaps fault Axl for trying to cater to his bizarre whims, before then deciding it was out of control.

But I can't really fault Axl, or anyone, for not wanting to put up with that whole schtick.

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

I mean, that rehearsal thing is of course fucking ridiculous, but on the other hand its absolutely funny and just GNR. I dont think anyone in the world would do sth like that, and thats kinda cool

Well... my take was Axl was putting up with it.. and wanted to continue on with him.. he just couldn't get him back in the room.

They obviously were a toxic combination.

I can just picture Axl, sitting together with Bucket on the Haunted Mansion ride and having him sign the contract.
