Just interviewed Courtney Taylor-Taylor from The Dandy Warhols. We spoke about the Slash collaboration amongst other things. Nice dude. -
Appetite for Distortion - Welcome to the Lawsuit(s)

fyi there was still so much work to be done with his book...phrasing, narratives, fact-checking. Consider these "excerpts" just well-organized stories and thoughts. I enjoy sharing some stories when they make sense to, otherwise they'll just sit on my OneDrive taking up space. -
Appetite for Distortion - Welcome to the Lawsuit(s)
Gambit83 replied to Gambit83's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
No need to apologize. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and write all that. Good points all around. Doing an episode on this subject wasn't an easy decision, but since I base my content on honesty and not blind fandom, I'd be fake if I didn't discuss it at this time. That littlemichellelives woman wanted to get on my podcast a few years ago, but it felt like I was being used as a way to legitimize her story. Didn't feel right. I didn't want that. -
You may have read about this story on Reddit or Loudwire. I recently spoke to GNR fan Chris Passmore and his 9-year-old-son Cooper who had a special concert experience thanks to Vanessa and Beta. Cooper ended up on-stage and Axl's dressing room during the show. A lot of bad stuff gets said about Team Brazil, but I think this is pretty sweet. First is a short clip with some of the videos the dad took. Second is the whole interview.

Join the fun if you want to defend Axl with me. I'm getting death wishes, called a woman-hater, and a rape apologist. Happy Thanksgiving. A reminder that I have had hundreds of hours of conversations with people that knew or know Axl at all different points of his life. Women, minorities, gay...all those who Axl is supposed to be against. The ONLY person that has ever said anything bad about Axl is Alan Niven. I'm also not a brainwashed fanboy that if real evidence came to light, that I wouldn't change my feelings. Fun times in GN'R world! EDIT - Btw I'd like to interview a lawyer/GNR fan for a rational conversation on the podcast. DM me if interested.

Recently interviewed producer Big Chris Flores. You may know him from Slash's solo album as he produced a few of the tracks. One of which was an unfinished demo from Chester Bennington that was shelved, and the song became Doctor Alibi with Lemmy. Below are the full episode and a highlight clip of the story behind it, full demo included in both. FYI I'd like to donate whatever YouTube gives me from these streams to charity, so I hope you listen often

Now I know why she wanted to do my podcast a few years ago but couldn't. -

Gambit83 replied to downzy's topic in 2023 Tour Dates
I'll be there, section 111c in the ADA section. Come say hi! -
Vicky's 3rd time on the podcast. Guns N' Roses' very first manager detailed her life in the 2016 memoir, "Appetite for Dysfunction: A Cautionary Tale," which is now available as an audio book. We chat about the early days of GN'R, her relationships with the band now, an upcoming 80's doc, "I Want to Rock," on Paramount Plus, plus more!

Appetite for Distortion - Tommy Stinson
Gambit83 replied to Gambit83's topic in Appetite for Distortion Podcast Archive
Thank you. Though, I'll still have incidents like Kip Winger. I create highlight videos of certain topics after they are picked up. Yes, to create more content, but also to give context to the headlines they create. Kip felt the need to write me an email about how I highlighted the Metallica stuff, criticizing my integrity. In a now-deleted post, I apologized to him and that I do my best to avoid this stuff. This was shortly after Mike Portnoy publicly complained that his Matt Sorum story got picked up again, so I felt a bit on the defensive. Then Kip calls my cell to reem me out. I had to literally explain that I didn't force him to talk bad about Lars, don't control Blabbermouth, and why I post highlights that aren't just about Winger's new album. The convo ended well, but you'd think someone who has been interviewed countless times like Kip would get it by now. So, that is why I get a bit gun shy with some questions...especially if I ever hope to interview Slash or Duff one day. That said, I'm interviewing again Vicky Hamilton today. She gets it -

I said Collective Soul instead of Soul Asylum? Do'h. And I wasn't about to dig deeper given his reaction to Bucket wasn't nice. -

You might be able to tell I was caught off guard by that. I try to avoid the negative, but as soon as Tommy said that I was like uh oh there's a headline. -

I'm trying to convince Azam Ali to have Bucket just be there on Zoom when I interview her again about their album. Short interviews scheduled though with Steve Turner of Mudhoney and Geezer Butler. I've submitted requests through his site, no luck.
