Popular Post WAR41 Posted June 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Wow. Brilliant episode @Gambit83. Kevin and Rob are some of the luckiest people on the planet to witness Axl Rose in his element in the recording studio. Outside of band members, management and close friends/family I'm not sure there are many other people who can say they've witnessed Axl recording music. Incredible story. I'm not sure if it was discussed and then edited out, but did you really emphasize how massive of an accomplishment it was that this was Axl's first new recorded/officially vocals since Chinese Democracy (yes I'm excluding the box set that some claim Axl re-recorded vocals for)? Also I know the song is officially up on YouTube, but if it were ever released commercially I am guessing Kevin would get royalties on it along with Axl. I wonder if there were any legal obstacles with GNR's label to get Axl to appear. This whole story is SO unlikely, its just incredible that they pulled it off. Thanks for getting this story out there. Edited June 13, 2019 by WAR41 emphasize 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for getting this story out there. Nothing was edited out. FYI I do give that option to guests so they're 100% comfortable. I was grateful on how open they were. And the fact they are both huge GNR fans, I think they still can't believe it happened. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you like to do things 100% live, but was just curious if they really understood the gravity of what they accomplished and maybe it was edited out. It feels like they know it was big, but not sure they know how big. But fantastic episode buddy. Such a great story and to hear any little bit about Axl's process in the studio from firsthand witnesses was fantastic. I am not sure we've ever really heard about it in micro detail outside of band members who have maybe mentioned it over the years, but likely at the macro level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a funny story when they told him 9, assuming it was known as 9am because voiceovers is a day job for people, but Axl came at 9 at night. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They considered Steven Tyler for a second when they thought Axl wouldn't happen, but they knew the value in having Axl Rose be the guy.

Georgina Arriaga Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 @Gambit83 thanks very much for that episode! You have to laugh at one of the guests trying to imitate Axl deep voice. At least we have a little glimpse of that impenetrable man.....thanks very much for that 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said it was sometime after GnR returned from their European tour, so it was probably late 2017-early 2018 (I think it's less likely that it happened after the 2018 Euro festival dates - the time window is too small). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? The 2018 European shows ended in late July, they didn't do anything else until November and the Looney Toons episode leaked around Christmas.... how do you figure he didn't have enough time?

I meant that the time window might have been small for the production the show, not for Axl. But I don't know how much time it takes to prepare a Looney Tunes episode, so you may be right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJean Baby Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 That was awesome. Loved hearing how Axl handled it all. These guys are funny as hell. One of my favorite episodes 🤗 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like the dialogue script was read first at the recording by the way they described some of Axl's reactions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that an amount of time is needed to produce the episode after the voice-over is recorded, i.e. to make the animation and sync it with the vocals. According to this post, the recording of the voice-over is one of the first stages of creating an episode, and the stages that follow take longer: https://www.studiopigeon.com/blog/how-long-does-it-take-to-produce-an-animation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe if they remember about when the recording took place. -------- I think they said that Axl (through management) gave instructions on how he wanted his cartoon self look like? (I didn't catch that part well). If so, maybe you could ask them if Axl wanted to be depicted as blond-haired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underhardy Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Wow, definitely the most captivating listen yet. That part where Axl read the kilt line out loud. The room probably got so tense for 3 seconds! I felt like I was there, great story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
