really would love to see an hour long interview with Axl

You can tell Jimmy is nervous as hell

get the feeling we wont get to many more "interesting" tidbits

and I can guarantee before hand they asked Jimmy to mention nothing about Slash or any of the old guys

REALLY good interview so far. Axl seemed kinda tense at first but loosened up pretty quickly and seems to be enjoying himself. The fan questions were all such a joke. I'm sure GNR instructed Kimmel's staff not to choose any questions regarding new music, the lineup, touring, etc. because there's no way if you have Axl Rose doing a live interview for the first time in 20 fucking years that THOSE are the best questions you could choose to ask him.

Not that it matters, but great to hear Axl is an Obama supporter.

And have heard from the man himself that he was/is sick, I suppose I'm a little more inclined to support that hypothesis. He seemed genuine when talking about it. So I'll take back my accusations.

Jimmy: How are you doing?

Axl: Good.

Jimmy: You're right on time, it's unbelievable.

Axl: It's a miracle.

Jimmy:

Axl: I was asked to and you wanted me to come here.

Jimmy: We're happy that you're here. I hear your sick

Axl: I'm doing better now. On a bunch of things.

Jimmy: Part of me would like me to tell people I got strep throat from Axl Rose.

Axl: I feel better today.

Jimmy:

Axl: A while ago, but not in a little while.

Jimmy: How old were you when you came out here?

Axl: 18 years old. I hitchhiked.

Jimmy: Were you wearing the codpiece when you came here.

Axl: Yeah, when I wore the codpiece I got a ride a little quicker.

Jimmy: How long did it take you to make money as a pro musician?

Axl: A few years after we got appetite going.

Jimmy: How did you make money?

Axl: I worked jobs here and there. I became a manager at Tower records for a short period of time. I let everyone have beers after work.

Jimmy: I think every video store employee thinks they'll be a rockstar, you're the only one that did.

Axl: I hired everyone from the old lineup and we had a great time for awhile.

Jimmy: As you were a manager, did you have to scold people for being late?

Axl: I was more lenient. (laughs)

Jimmy Shows flyer: was this your first band, rose?

Axl: That was one of the first ones.

Jimmy: Did you guys make this yourselves?

Axl: Yeah Izzy and I made it.

Jimmy shows picture: This appears to be a halloween tree.

Axl: This is one of the most evil things I've ever done. We have these halloween parties and I decided to have a halloween tree. We'd invite kids to put presents under the halloween tree and I'd say "you don't have a halloween tree?" The kids were thrilled and I got called by their parents for three months.

Jimmy: Have you ever dressed up for halloween?

Axl: I went as a corn for halloween because we have a saying when someone's going to get yelled at in guns n roses, they'll get the corn. So i dressed up as the corn.

Fan questions.

"Do you think it's weird that my teacher has a son named after you"/

Axl: No I think that's a good thing unless I know the teacher intimately. (laughs)

"If you could go back and redo a year which year would you pick?"

Axl: Somewhere in the last 5 or 6.

"Do you regret your cornrows/do you still have them?"

Axl: No. Do I save them? (laughs)

"Why does axl run backstage all the time during a song."

Axl: I feel like an idiot during the solos. I'll change clothes, anything that needs to be taken care of, figuring out next song etc

"Who will you vote for".

Axl: I haven't really voted. I'm in california and they're usually democratic so its normally a landslide anyway. I normally lean democrats. I'd lean Obama.

That's about 95% of it! Missed a couple sentences but this is pretty much it so far.
