I think there are some good questions here

I'd guess Axl's sick to death of talking about CD so questions that show were intrested in what else he's up to/likes may remind him that he still has support out there and making a return to the big time won't be as big a step as it seems.

Wouldn't it be strange is he actually responded - that would be weird!

Summary of questions;

"How are you" seems a popular and obvious first question

Others mentioned;

- Whats the last cd you've purchased

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?? I don't remember. Lemme think. Oh, Yeah. Com Lag (2Plus2IsFive), Radiohead.
Here: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=Aryf1zfh3eh7k

- Could Axl recommend any good books for us to read while passing time?

Yes, I could.

- Have you ever considered making a "piano album" with jazz, blues etc?

I like music. So. Piano, mandolin..  anything goes! So no, I haven't considered.

- What type of style are you trying to create with the new band and music? What influences have you drawn from and how diffiuclt is it to be original and creative?

I'm trying to create the GNR style, my influence is GNR, and it's not difficult to be 'original' (haha) and 'creative'. But it can and does hurt sometimes!

-  What was your favorite musical experience in the past ten years (pick a concert you did or went to, an album you bought and were thrilled to listen to, etc.) -- you can pick more than one if picking just one is too difficult

Whisperings in my ear. But that's kinda personal if you see what i mean.

- What's the thing you enjoy the most doing during the day?

What a fucking stupid question. Repetition. Sun comes up, goes down in the evening. To tell you the truth, some days I really enjoy eating. Other days i'm consummed with passion doing something else.

- Of all contemporary singers, rock, pop, even country, who is the one you'd like to duet with?

Axl Rose but he'd kick my ass with his voice.

- What's the worst hit song you've heard in the last ten years?

There are so many I can't remember.

- What are your thoughts on having Arnold Schwarzenegger as your governor?

Interesting. Who's Arnold?

- If there was one famous quotation that you felt closely summed up your philosophy of life, what would it be?

Live and let die!

- Who's your favorite comedian?

Dunno. I like many. Ben Kingsley & Jennifer Connelly both were really good in 'House of Sand and Fog'.

- what's your favorite city/venue to perform in, and why?

That's classified.

- What process do you follow when you write a song?

I take a different pen everytime.

- Has your impression of the internet changed over the past few years or do you still consider it a garbage can?

It's a garbage can. There can be really great things in a garbage can.

- Are you interested in a film career?

Well of course, who isn't? That word.. career.. Whatever.

- "Are you still interested in creating narrative-based music videos, like the UYI video trilogy?"

See above.

- What do you think is the biggest price you pay for fame?

It's.. fame.

- GNR has a huge worldwide fan base - what are some of your favorite memories from the world tours?

That would be a long story.

- What handles better the (Lambourghini) Murceilago or the (Ferrari) Spyder?

The Lambourghini of course.

- How cool is it that Arnold Schwartzeneggar is the governor of California?

See above.

- What new music is he listening to?

... and you will know us from the trail of dead.

-  would like to know if he goes to his bandmembers shows when they go off on their own (like Dizzy and Tommy) or if he enjoys their music.  

Nope.

- What is your typical day like?

I wake up, I move, I lay down, I sleep. Something like that.

- How is his guitar playing coming along

Really bad.

- Did you have a big bash for your 40th B-day?

Ain't there yet.

- what makes you laugh?

Anything that's funny enough.

Which ones do you think? I'll send 10 questions off in two hours or so

All of 'em. If he doesn't want to answer, he won't. What would be nicer in my opinion is to rank them, and put the most important ones first.

[TyRod Tulip]

I think you picked the best questions Mysteron.  I just really think, because of the media in which we all meet everyday, we need to ask him about his impression of the internet today and if he visits the fan sites.

-TyRod-

[Evil Ash]

how about mine??

Why was Pukkelpop the only festival on the european continent that you played, and do you remember and still have the T-Shirt you got from Jarmo back then?


C'mon people, this is a real board related question and I really want to know the answer cause it was the best fucking time of my life!!

[Death Cube K]

No offense, but some of the questions were rather stupid.

Take some of them away.

4.what's your favorite city/venue to perform in, and why?

10. Will we have a release date before july?

[Hammer1]

I have this feeling that Axl as the Artist would love to answer these questions, but won't because some one will leek them or find them and the next thing you know there will be a flash on much music T.o or In Touch magazine or some rag mag,  I can see it now (like this is news for the world) "AXL ROSE THINKS ARNOLD SHOULD RUN FOR PREZ!!!" or something stupid like that. I think he is trashed for everything he says or does! The media is not very kind.
So although I hope like hell he does answer these questions because we are all the biggest fans on the planet and the least likely people in the world to be critical or unappreciative for his time to answer, I think he might feel that a free for al in the media may develop.  Every question might be a reason to talk about Axl again. A good thing for someone else who wants publicity but Idon't think he does, because they are so hard on him.

Funny how someone like Scott W. can write on his web-site and we see it and feel a connection and informed, but if Axl did that it would be the news topic on Music television for a day or two about how the "recluse came out for a fan interview via the internet"

Babbling now Sorry!!!!

Seeing V.R. in less than 10hrs a little sad (miss Axl) and excited at the same time.
Will write a review in the right section tomorrow

I'd like to get some answers for the Guns N' Roses - Terminator 3 issue. Reliable sources claim GN'R were to have a single for the movie.
