ChineseIRS Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Pretty sure he never commented on it and no one knows for sure if he went to his funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Estranged Reality Posted February 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2015 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=axl+on+shannon+hoonwhat's kind of amusing about you being a dick and posting this is that your search doesn't even bring up any relevant results. it's totally understandable that someone would Google that, not see any results, and then come here to ask whether or not Axl did, indeed, make any comments about Hoon's passing.in response to the OP: i don't think he did, at least not publicly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock4eva Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 There's a video of Axl starting to dedicate a song to a friend who passed away but someone in the audience yelled out and he stopped and went over & yelled at them. I've wondered who that friend was but I suppose I'll have to find a link to the video so you can work it out. It was when the original band were together so early 90s.

It was when the original band were together so early 90s.They had quite a few friends who passed away, sadly. If it was Knockin' on Heaven's Door, it may have been Todd Crew - that's why they originally started playing rhe song AFAIK, and they did dedicate it to him by name at some early shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also dedicated it to his Grandmother who died in her 90s, saying she called him her little problem child.

spliff Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The closest to him talking about Shannon was when Bas brought him up during the trunk interview in 06Axl: What do you mean "Its good for your range?" When you have a.......Bach: Well its in there. Its in thereAxl: I mean that's a pretty big parking spaceBach: Awww, thank you, dude, that's nice of you . Coming from you that's.......Trunk: Axl Rose that's, you know, look at Baz he's glowing right now babyBach: No. You know the only other time he said that "You gotta hear this guy, his friend Shannon, is when you said that to me. You go "He's got a higher voice than you man." and I was like "What?" And he did have a higher voiceTrunk: Yeah and the first time anyone saw Shannon Hoon was in the Don't Cry video, that was the first time that, uh.......Bach: So anyway, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page go "Why are you doing that song?" Like its so obvious, and Robert goes "I wonder what Sebastian would sound like doing a song like Out On the Tiles by Led Zeppelin. Then I was like cool. Than I started learning it and the second verse is completely out of time. Coming in, its not on a count, it's a studio flub. So I know he was having a little chuckle, like, have at it. You know what I mean.http://www.gnrfrance.net/presse-interviews-guns-n-roses/entretiens-axl-rose-05-05-2006-16-page-4.htmhe also didn't know about West Axl: It's So Easy...was originally a hippie ya-ya song. And Duff and West wrote this song like on acoustic, and it literally went like: (singing country-like) "I see your sister in a sunday dress..." Oh absolutely, and we were rehearsing in L.A and Slash basically just starts raping the song and I ran up and started like, doing like the evil Iggy Pop over it, while West is standing there and his face is like Droopy, like: "My song :("Bach: "Look what they done to my song?"Axl: Yeah. We just destroyed his song right there.Bach: How's West doing?Axl: Huh, he's not.Bach: No?Axl: West is no longer with us.Bach: Oh my lord...Axl: So, maybe he's doing better. (laughs) He appreciates that you cared...http://www.gnrfrance.net/presse-interviews-guns-n-roses/entretiens-axl-rose-05-05-2006-16-page-5.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlinkafayette Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 its mentioned in Axl's assistant's book. Craig Duswalt says Doug Goldstein had arraigned for Axl to go back to Lafayette and attend the services, but Axl being Axl couldn't get to the limo/airport in time and missed his flight. Bottom line, he never got there for it.But i do remember reading he did go back for his Mom's funeral in 1996 i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Only thing I ever remember hearing is speculation on Shannon Hoon's death being the reason "Don't Cry" wasn't in the setlist for a long time. It would make sense to me if it was too emotionally hard for Axl to perform that song for a while. Axl started crying the first time GN'R played it again in 2009 or so.

GNR 1991 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The first time it was played in full since 1993 was in 2007. BBF was performing the song as a solo before that and eventually (I wanna say the Japan shows) Axl and Frank played it in full w/ BBF. Awesome performance too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
