Axl cut his hand on the mic stand. He saw a plastic surgeon afterwards.

Identity crisis. He's exploring different identities, but never quite makes a commitment. People tend to experience them at times of great change; New band, new relationships / end of old relationships. His looks coincide with these. Good observation.

Thx for posting this! Amazing stuff. Axl on bass and Duff on drums during Rocket Queen. Great energy, same vibe as the It's So Easy vid. This is the Real Deal God Tier band I grew up on. Want more!

Axl, open the vault please!!!

Also, Axl looks like Sean Michaels here.

We know he said TIL blew Novemer Rain out of the water, and it might have if recorded with the right guitarist and the timing was better. Other than that, none yet. I don't think The General will live up to the hype. I don't think GN'R can tell their crap songs from their great songs. They release a lot of duds and could benefit from listening to a good editor (this gets released, this stays on the cutting room floor)

Dijon was a Siamese in his past life.

I just don't understand Axl. He made life hard on his old bandmates and drove them away for... for creating the kind of music we're hearing now? Going Down is not even on par with the worst songs on UYI so what the hell? But I think Axl doesn't even know to this day what kind of music he wants to make. According to different sources Axl wanted to grow and evolve after the UYI albums yet he told in 99 that he wanted to make another AFD but wasn't allowed to do it because of Slash (wtf?).

He was lying, he was just trying to find a way to attack and blame Slash.

Honestly, I don't think he's as talented as people make out. If he was half the songwriter people believe him to be, he would have put out a solo album. Instead he hides behind the GNR name, clings to the old hits, and blames everyone around him for his failings. The truth is staring people in the face, they just don't want to see it. He is not, never has been, and never will be, a songwriter in the mould of Cobain, Yorke, Gallagher, White etc.. He is heavily reliant upon being part of a group, and musically, he was carried by GNR, more than people want to realise.

All the leaks are mediocre at best.

This. Axl is a musical curator, trying to assemble other musicians parts. He is not Cobain, who could sit in a closet and bang out a whole album on an acoustic guitar by himself. He also lacks the coherent vision of a true musical director and I don't think he knows what he wants until he hears it. Appetite was such a strong statement because it had a singular focus. Trying to be all things to all people musically will never work.

Axl is talented but he forgot he was one fifth of a band, not the whole f'n show.

What was the deal with the GN'R movie? The one Axl talked about being a combining Don't Cry, November Rain, and Estranged videos with tour footage:

"Then, weve had a documentary crew out with us the whole time weve been out on the road, and theyve been filming everything. Were just having our director go through all the footage and were putting a movie together that will be a combination of reality and fiction tied in with the three videos, November Rain, Dont Cry and Estranged. That story will tie in with the reality of Guns N Roses, yet therell be a fictional story going on as well as between me and my girlfriend Stephanie. Were working on it, but we cant guarantee exactly what itll be until we get it done."

Was a theatrical release in the plans? Was Andy Morahan directing it? Was additional footage shot? Was it going to be like 'The Wall'? I understand Axl viewed UYI as the bands 'Wall' album. Really curious.

Also, love you book. Bought it a while back and really enjoyed reading it.

Any Aaron Lewis Patience cover is amazeballs

"I'm not working on all this to keep it buried."

Q: What pisses off Axl Rose more than anything in the world?

A: A Guns N' Roses show.

lol

thx, nice little interview

It gets better

Meet Suzzi London, Axl's 'therapist', the one he brought on tour and cast in a mini skirt for the Don't Cry video:
