Re: DJ Ashba Live Chat
btw, I was "Youth" and "Emcitymisfit" on mygnr, not BBA. I got perma banned for criticizing Madison for arbitrarily shutting down topics in order to feel important.
Don't remember emcitymisfit, but I do remember the Youth name.
Welcome to the forum.

"Axl barely cares about our money, what makes us think he cares about our internet questions?"
VERY astute point. In the end, after all the cash he has made and will make without lifting a finger in the future, we need to face it, he doesn't give a fuck anymore. Honestly, I wouldn't either. I, just my opinion, think the majority of "Gnr" fans are morons....any intelligent person would. This board just happens to have the least amount.:lol:
But, don't let that rattle you, DJ Crue is gonna change everything on 7-15 with his online chat about...about.....about....his solo career. Can't wait!:nervous:

Eddie Trunk has to single-handedly have either the worst call screeners in the history of radio, or he's a dumbass.
Those calls should've NEVER gotten past screeners, let alone made it to air.
Like its not easy to give a call screener a front and then when you make it on air, bait the host with a normal question, then follow up with a goofy one?
It's not rocket science, and its like terrorism, you can take all the precautions you want, but if someone wants to do it bad enough, it'll happen.
BBF wasn't gonna give any answers anyway. He's a nice guy, and only a few callers were outright rude, so might as well have some fun, right?
Yeah, but you can't fake 'interesting'.
No offense to you, but a good screener or host, can tell boring from a mile away. They should've listened and discovered from the get the calls they were getting were boring, and never put them on the air.
Trunk should've just then made up his own questions.
That's not rocket science either. It's Talk Radio 101.

Damn fine point. Axl has NEVER cared about his fans - ever. If he did, he would've done EVERYTHING differently since 1993.
Axl might be a helluva guy to club with, but he's self-centered, it's so obvious at this point, I can't believe anyone denies anymore.

Not sure if it works the same for his regular radio show but I heard Eddie say on his Sirius/XM show when Artie Lange was on that he has ONE girl on staff during his show, and I think she was an unpaid intern to boot. So it probably isn't the hardest thing in the world to sneak something by her/whatever staff he may have had.

You've gotta work with what you've got. The format of the interview was taking calls, for whatever reason. IIRC, it was like Friday at 11 EST, so I don't think you're gonna get the best and brightest clogging up the lines, and I doubt Trunk's ratings are Limbaugh/Rome-esque to begin with.
Besides, wtf was Eddie gonna ask him? "Hey, talk about that CD you forgot to bring!"
Re: DJ Ashba Live Chat
Eddie knows his shit, and Eddie is an expert on the situation with Guns N' Roses, as much as anyone in his line of work can be.
Eddie could've talked about alot of things, including CD's trx, what was Ron's favorite, what he wanted to perform live, talked about the 2006 visit from Axl and Ron was a secret then, and what he thought about that, what he thought about old Guns, was there any favorite tracks he had from the old band, what is it like being in a band like Guns N' Roses...
Mix that with old GN'R cuts, and maybe some Ron solo during the to and from breaks on his show, and you've pretty much got an interview, minus any phone calls. If all else fails, he can bullshit about Ron's current favorite music in his MP3 player and what he thinks of Buckethead, the person who's shoes he's filling.
