wooocraig Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, I couldn't see it on my mobile. Here is a new decent length interview with NME. Lots of Axl humor! http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/nme-exclusive-acdc-and-axl-rose-interviewed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nikosgnr Posted May 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2016 How have rehearsals been going? Axl: “They’re awesome because they’re over!” That's my boy. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Axl that dissapeared 1994. And now 22 years later he is back, taking risks, playing with his old band mates and sings wonderful again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already sent it to a dozen friends and family and am getting messages about how funny Axl is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 best line in the whole interview from Angus, "And that was our main goal, especially Cliff and myself, being there the longest. We wanted to complete what we had started. And I mean, you can’t call a tour ‘Rock or Bust’ and then go bust!” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSoftie Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Not much of a fun day off. Axl: “Well actually, the Profenal – I know why Michael Jackson was into it now! The doctor said, it’s not for home use!” Love his sense of humour. Any chance of a new Axl-chat Uncle Ax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeez Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Axl: "Now I know the benefit of rehearsals, for the first time in my life" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Archer Posted May 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2016 I think that without doubt the best line in this interview, at least for those who know their recent AC/DC history, was the line about Axl hiring Phil Rudd to kill off his competitors for the frontman job. That was so good that even fans of Phil Rudd are going to be in two minds as to whether to hate Axl or support him. Just brilliant comic genius. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateRadio Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Must hear interview voice before I judge. I think we are in for a real treat starting tomorrow. I think he is going to kill on every song, and GNR fans should love it! It's almost like he won't ever win with the GNR world, but he can sure elevate his rock frontman status with great performances with AC/DC. Hope all media picks up on this one.

Dude has a wicked sense of humor when he decides to show it in public. Remember the Eddie Trunk interview in 2006? Mike Piazza called in from San Diego. Trunk goes, "He's playing for the Padres." Axl responds, "I thought it was the Pirates" in reference to Piazza's leak of the song IRS a few years earlier. It was one of those lines that was so quick and witty, none of the other people in the room (Sebastian Bach, Chris Jericho, Scott Ian, Eddie Trunk) caught it and responded.

He doesn't seem 100% confident about Hells Bells. That's okay, because it really is a beast of a song. He'll get some respect even if he does it half well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually going for the high notes, which Brian literally never did live - it's better by default IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets credit for going for it, that's for sure. Brian was probably wise to alter his live take, but all the same it's incredible that at 54 Axl is attempting (and hitting) those notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rose Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 What the fuck did I just read?! Where was this dude in the last 15 years when his own band and fanbase needed some love?! Not bitching, it's just mind boggling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
