I'll take what I can get. If it's a book I don't expect anything, especially not long interviews, from a guy who hasn't really done any promo for a couple decades... Not being able to edit what he says isn't a problem, if anything that's how you'd get additional content - a twitter rant or a short interview to clarify some things. Let him rant for 10 hours and condense it into an audiobook, it's basically the same format.

Best Buy is in negotiations to be the exclusive retailer of the book. It will all be previously published information except for 3 chapters. 

Only problem is that there's no edit after maybe rethinking what you said. With a book there's a lot more room to maneuver. Also with the book he'd likely end up doing some long form interviews to promote it... So kinda best of both worlds. I agree though, I want to hear someone like Eddie trunk, strombo, Q tv interview him. I'd also like to hear Rogan or Stern have him on too, but I don't think they'd ask the detailed questions the others might. Any long interview would be amazing though, get beyond "are you excited about the gig today night, anything to day to your SA audience".

Has anyone brought up the Sebastian Bach clip where he said Axl had 40,000 words written for his book when they talked in 2010

I think nowadays a podcast or series would be way more interesting than an autobiography. Even if it's just a one-off, let him rant for 6 hours without editors or handlers while Joe Rogan occasionally says "dude that's crazy" A longer version of the Eddie Trunk radio appearance, especially at this stage of his career, could be more interesting than a book imo. That kind of format would be a better fit for Axl to do something autobiographic, revealing, or at least in-depth explanations from his side of the bands history.
