they pull this crap every time one of their album/tour cycles ends. it's always w/the drama of will there be more foo fighters stuff from ghrol & music media who are desperate for any kinda story.
as for what i think about the FF? i think they have some cracking tunes but never rerally made an album i felt was incredible. i saw them live at leeds fest in 02 & thought it was a complete drag. i missed BRMC to watch the foos & it was a mistake that still pisses me off to this day. it kinda spoiled any chance of happiness i could have had w/the FF.
#2032 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl On Kimmel Oct 24th, Live Interview! » 736 weeks ago
it's not so much him talking about new music i would like.
i like seeing people enthuse & discuss their musical influences & ideas.
i don't think this'll be the platform for that kinda interview tho. it'll be down to bizness w/a bit of irrelevant chit-chat & some GnR history thrown-in.
#2033 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Live in London (Airing on Vh1 Classic) » 736 weeks ago
well what is it about axl releasing stuff that slash'll profit from?
surely slash'll be due royalties from this to, no??
maybe axl's stance has changed? he's no longer gonna cut his nose off to spite his face...??
it is an interesting development & i'm glad we're maybe gonna get a pro-shot, hd quality official release from GnR. but i'll believe it when i see it/putting it into my ps3.

who is he?
is this a joke or is it hype for the show? if it's hype, it's the kinda jive that gets peoples expectations pumped up & leaves them disappointed.
like the others have said, i also cant really see this being an explosive warts & "setting the record straight" trip. i mean, it might could be, but in all likelihood it wont be. but it is still nice to see axl out & about nonetheless.
From what I've read around other forums, he's associated with the band in some way just not official as far as I've ever heard. Can't remember where, I read somewhere that during the last tour he was claiming he was the bands manager or something like that.
In any case, I wouldn't put any stock into anything he posts on twitter. The last thing GN'R needs now is for anyone to set the bar too high for occurrences like this interview.
oh, so he's mates w/fernando then?
tbh i'd almost prefer an axl interview where he's talking about music & his influences in a positive way rather than having him trawl thru the BS of the last 15/20yrs.
at this stage it's like, yea ok we've heard it all, the riots, the CD fiasco, no promo etc. that is except the one thing - what exactly is it about slash he hates so much? the rest is really old hat.
i'd prefer him to reveal more about his music rather than discuss bizness shit.

bit of a coup for Jimmy Kimmel, no?
there's bigger , better names have been refused access in the past..
r TeamBrasil gonna start pimping him out to every small-time charlie now?
of course he'll ask about a new album. i doubt axl'll will give a specific response. more like a vague, working-on-it-lies or after-these-shows-take-stock-BS, generic avoidance answer.
#2037 Re: The Sunset Strip » Dexter (Spoiler Alert) » 736 weeks ago
It was far too slow.
& the airport kill was guff. Sometimes the show takes really cheap outs like that a lot but it's worse when they do it will kills. W/so little else happening they coulda fixed it better oh well Dex had some nice quips that's really why I watch.

You look pretty stressed.

This whole GNR fanbase has become a microcosm for something very very sick - you could write a really interesting sociological piece on both the history of the band and the fan base.
...is this place going to become the new stepford wives capital of the internet too?And if it does...where does someone like me...who marvels at Bumblefoots skills, who loves Slash's emotive playing, and who thinks Axl has the greatest rock voice in history go next....as this was the last bastion of independent thought.
well, i think you should embrace the absurd.
wht i mean is the music is the music & the rest is a time-filing/time-wasting soap opera. we're just witnesses to the decay of an institution & sharing in that experience & also rejoicing in what they built: the music is why we're all here, after all, & the rest really is just fallout. & what's left then? you can mope around in the tragic waste of it all, or you can see the funny side. & there is a funny side.
regarding your first point, i don't think this thing of ours is that much different or strange. i'm sure a lotta bands go thru similar speculation & 
moments w/their fans online & in print. & a lot go thru line-up changes. & i'm sure it's been that way since the year dot. it's just part & parcel of following something - a band, a team, whatever. y'know what they say, "every asshole has an opinion", or something. i think that's how that phrase is meant to go..
i really don't get what the prob is tho. you're gonna die someday man & what's it gonna matter then? 
#2040 Re: Guns N' Roses » "Better" Video Discussion » 736 weeks ago
I joked about a montage video (with an 'lol') and told the kid to stop bothering me with his complaints, to address them to GNR management, and to leave me alone about it during my time off. Wasn't a serious thing.... (and not our first convo.....) Then to post it weeks later and try and turn fans against me and get 5 seconds of attention... wuuudever.
fair enough. that is lame & i can see why it'd be annoying having to deal w/that whiney BS. sorry.
