New Sean Beavan Interview Talking Chinese Democracy, Axl, GNR, NIN & More!


Recommended Posts

Fantastic interview!

As a music nerd, I was a little impatient during the 'what does a producer do portion?' but Im sure many people benefited from it.

I bet Beaven was mistaken when he says that both Slash and Duff overlapped with Vrenna.  But interesting as Slash was back and forth again (pun intended) a few times in the preceding years.  Maybe this exposes another 'feel out period' ?

Wow, that was a great chat.

Couldn’t hear the full thing yet...but may I ask you a fan favour??? Next time you get to interview someone like Sean, I think all of us would like to know more about Axl vocal chops.

something like...could Axl sing the way he used to...or did he change his style due to limitations.

Thanks a lot in name of all of us!!! @sidman69

First show Nine Inch Nails opening for GNR and Axl doesnt show up because "AXL IS IN PARIS"!

Sean Beavan: "we got out before the big riot started"

Around 9m37s mark

===

searched on GNRONTOUR and its probably this one...

08.21.91 - Oslo Spektrum, Oslo, Norway
opening act: Skid Row
notes: This show was canceled due to Axl's vocal troubles. He flew to Paris to see a specialist during this time.

Great stuff. Though I would love it if you would ask him some more question about songs that did not make it on the album. What were his favourite, what were Axl favourite, were they more rockers, more epic etc

we can always have him on again and ask him.

you have the producer telling you that axl wanted HIS vision on the album and he wanted to avoid any creative tension or confrontation

if you can NOT understand what that means then there is nothing i can do to help you!

No shit Sherlock.. it's largely always been his vision. But that is besides the point when you have multiple musicians contributing to the WRITING process. 

That's not a solo act equation.

Your the one that needs help, you and the countless other people hear that cry about CD being a solo album of Axl.

Here you go again. For once can you step away and think objectively?.

You started of so well, then reverted back to the same closed mindedness.

Sean Bevan is giving us an outside perspective on his involvement with Guns N Roses and as a fan its great to get someone's insight that was actually involved.

If you notice all others people in this thread are taking the information provided by Mr Bevan and approaching it from a perspective of i did not know that, processing it, potentially looking at things differently then before.

Sitting her reading others people discussing their thoughts on information provided by Mr Bevan has been great as its objective and creating good talking points.

Please don't derail this as there are a number of threads you have stopped dead in there tracks, as you can not seem to stay objective on any matter in relation to the band.

As much as I admire the fantasy of people calling NuGNR a "band" it really wasnt. It was Axl paying people to writte according to his "vision". People were there cause was their jobs, they wasnt there to create something and see how it goes and collect the loot as a group effort, they where there cause they was paid for it. Everything these people did with Axl was because he was paying them for it.

This is not what a rock n roll band is.

I'm in two bands and in one I write all the music cause I'm the only guitar player, and the other I do lead guitar. In the latter it's me and two other guys who are basically session live guys for the time being. We learn the songs that the main guy wrote and recorded. It's his vision and his alone that has any merit. We're there to do a job and that's rounding out the lineup so we can do live gigs. After we tour we will become full members and write as a band. See any similarities (other than the becoming full members/writing as a band part?) NuGNR was AXL'S SOLO PROJECT. His band members did exactly what I'm doing now: learning someone else's music. How anyone can call GNR 99-2015 an actual band and not laugh at the same time is either a moron, diluted, ignorant, or all of the above.
