  1. SWU-2011-palcos-principais-14-nov-Duff-McKagans-Loaded%20(9).jpg

    When a band called Loaded, but inserts in materials to publicize the name of their lead singer to make it clear who is one of its members, is obviously intended to show that this band deserves attention because this guy is in it. The guy in this case, is the former bassist for Guns N 'Roses, Duff McKagan.

    The strategy worked and attended a massive public to watch with interest the work of the SWU group in 2011, without repeated requests of songs from Roses or Velvet Revolver - another band, Duff, Slash and Matt Sorum.

    Duff McKagan this project takes the guitar and sings with great skill - has a strong voice and reaches a high pitch. His band also plays his role well: Mike Squires (guitar), Jeff Rouse (bass) and Isaac Carpenter (drums) are a hard rock well resolved, with a touch of punk rock, which draws applause from the audience.

    But it is the music of Guns N 'Roses that really move the crowd, hungry for hits. From "So Fine," whose authorship is Duff's own, a string of famous songs the choir won the public. In "Attitude", the original Misfits and Guns honored, Duff took the bass to them and remained so until the end of the show. Came off the stage, walked through the crowd and ended the show with the familiar "It's So Easy."

  2. Horribly translated.

    tell it to google translator.

    the site is brazillian.

    anyway, you can do better...

    No, I'm gonna tell it to YOU.

    You're pathetic. You purposely go out of your way to find a BRAZILIAN COMMENTARY on AN INTERVIEW CONDUCTED IN ENGLISH, so that you can "re-translate" the PORTUGEUSE-written commentary back into English, so you can spin stuff and perpetuate misconceptions.

    No one really cares what some random brazilian no-name blog has to say about the interview, BECAUSE THE INTERVIEW ITSELF is airing today. In English.

    Although I must admit, dumb cupcakes are more fun than smart cupcakes, so, by all means, have at it.

    tanx a lot for your answer.

    in fact, essential to my life to know what yout think about me.

    go to walk in the park man.

    see ya.

    They translated Axl's quotes regarding the 91 tour and said that he (still!) blames Slash and his manager for his lateness. They also said that he was 2 hours late in RIR, haha - and an user commenting the article said that he only took the stage 4 a.m. in Rio last year. Yeah, nothing unsusual... media bullshit and lies as always.

    rio...last year?

    In interview on "That Metal Show", the U.S. channel VH1, Axl Rose, lead singer of Guns N 'Roses, said the fame that has come to delay shows a tour group in 1991. The rocker blamed by guitarist Slash, former bandmate.

    "A lot of it has to do with 1991. I should not be on that tour. Just went on tour for three reasons. My manager marked the shows without my permission. So I would be sued if not fulfilled ... He was telling me that Slash died of a heroin overdose, or anything else, it would be my fault. And Slash was pushing me. I should not have accepted make that tour, but I do not know how to get out. "

    Although in the past to point out reasons for his fame late in the last 2 October, the band took the stage at Rock in Rio two hours after the scheduled start of the show.

  5. I honestly don't even care for a reunion. I just want more new music. That's all.

    I just want more new music[2]

    I just want them to stop performing the old songs, as only Slash can plays those like they should be played.

    I agree, this new band should make some attempt to create new music, tour it, and earn a living off of it.

    These are GN'R songs. GN'R obviously should play them.

    Btw: Slash and Miles playing GN'R sucks a lot.

    Can you explain why Slash and Myles suck a lot? Myles might not be the best fit to cover Axl Rose (but who is?). Slash sounds more Gn'R playing those old songs than the hired hands. I don't think you're trying to say the opposite :).

    Guns n' Roses vs. Slash n' Miles

    Better singer = Axl by a huge margin

    Better lead guitar = debatable, I think Ron is better than Slash at everything he does, but some people don't.

    Better rest of the band = Guns n' Roses. Not even questionable. The "hired hands" are more talented by almost as huge of a margin as Axl beats Miles.

    Any other questions?

    intersting point of view.

  6. You can't throw a bunch of guys together after a 15 year absence and expect the magic to still be there. Music doesn't work that way

    And the guys in the current GnR lineup have dedicated a lot of their professional careers to Axl, it would be pretty crappy of him to toss them to the side now.

    It is also obvious the musical styles of all ex players has evolved into different beasts than in 1992. Velvet Revolver imo was pretty generic rock without much substance. Slashs solo album shows he wants to do the safe old school rock route. I don't see Axl ever wanting to go back down that path. And I don't imagine Slash wanting to do songs like Twat, catcher and shacklers.

    I'm afraid that ship sailed a decade ago.

    you're right.

    is not just to put the five guys in a room and the magic returns.

    and yes, the actual team deserves consideration.

    Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has insisted that he takes "good care" of his voice and even undergoes a cardio workout session before each gig he plays – scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to listen.

    Recently, Guns N' Roses have drawn criticism from fans after they posted a message on their official Facebook page telling them that they would simply have to put up with the band's frequent late appearances, although they later insisted they would "never intentionally disrespect" their fans.

    However, in a forthcoming interview to be shown on VH1's That Metal Show and previewed on the 'Friday Night Rocks' radio show on New York's Q104.3 FM, the singer has claimed that he takes his stagecraft seriously with a series of warm-up exercises.

    After being complimented on his singing performance following a show in Miami as part of the band's US tour, Rose replied:

    "I had a good night. It's not an anomaly, but I did have a good night, and I have been taking care of my voice. I do warm-ups before the show, I do warm-downs after the show, I do those religiously."

    He then went on to add: "Everybody in this band has their own physical regimen they have to go through. I do a lot of cardio when I can, or when I can force myself to. But yeah, you've got to get your wind up, and you've got to get your head in the right place and go out and do it."

    Rose also admitted that he had trouble performing some songs from the band's back catalogue because they were originally performed in a higher register, making reference to their 1991 track 'You Could Be Mine'. "The first time I had to play that live, I was like, 'What did I do?'" he said. "'What have I done? I have to sing this live now."

    The interview will air in full on VH1's That Metal Show on November 11.

    Last month, former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan admitted that the band's original line-up could reform in the future, stating: "Of course there's a chance. I don't know how real that chance is. It's not something I ever write about or talk at home about or with any of those principal people about, ever."

    For the first time in over a decade, reclusive Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has sat down for a TV interview, chatting with Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine, and Don Jamieson, the hosts of VH1's That Metal Show, backstage following a stop on GN'R's U.S. tour in Miami on October 29. The interview didn't start until 5:30 A.M. — and it went for close to two hours. There was a lot to catch up on. SPIN got the lowdown on what Axl discussed straight from Trunk. (The interview airs on the season premiere of That Metal Show on National Metal Day, November 11). "Love him or hate him, he's still Axl Rose," Trunk tells SPIN. "And he's masterfully found a way to always be interesting." (Watch our exclusive clip for proof.)

    Here's what you have to look forward to:

    How'd this rare interview come together?

    The only radio appearance Axl has done in the past few decades was on my radio show about five years ago. He walked into my radio studio in 2006 completely out of left field. Nobody saw it coming and he hung out with me for over three hours on the air. We had some connection, so I had a feeling that there was a chance this TV interview might happen. We have a level of trust. He's been at the top of our list for a long time. But it's always a gamble.

    What did you think of the new lineup's performance?

    I've seen various versions of GN'R since the original band broke up, some lineups better than others, but I was pleasantly surprised. Axl in particular sounded great. People always ask, "Was it as good as the original band?" No band is ever going to be as good as the original lineup. That shouldn't even a be part of the thought process. That said, they did great renditions of the old songs, they played the new material, and everyone had a solo, a chance to shine.

    Why did the interview start so late?

    I asked him about his perpetual history of late starts during the interview. He said it's all about when he feels that everything is right and he feels ready to go. He made a joke that being late has plagued him since his childhood. So, when the band went on at midnight I told my producer, "There's no way he's going to play for three hours, then get off stage and do an interview." Around 4 or 5 A.M. I was sure it wasn't going to happen. But sure enough, at 5:30 A.M., Axl walked into the locker room where we set up. He was as fresh as a daisy. He sat down and was in no hurry to leave. He wanted his guitarist DJ Ashba to be on the set with him, too. It was shocking. He's a nocturnal guy, but I expected him to walk off the stage and right out the door to South Beach. He said that in those couple of hours between the end of the show and the interview that he was cooling down. He takes a lot of precautions to preserve his voice. But it's all on Axl time, no question. If you're going to attempt to interview Axl, then you better get plenty sleep the night before, and not have anything to do early the next morning.

    What was Axl's demeanor during the interview?

    When he first came into the room he had his guard up. He knows me, but he did not know my co-hosts. But he looked great. About five minutes into the interview we had him chuckling. He loosened up and had some fun. We were not going to beat him up for coming in late.

    Were there any topics you were told not to discuss?

    The only thing he didn't want to discuss, understandably, was a reunion with the original lineup. He's all about this band, this lineup. Journalists constantly bring up the idea of a reunion. But there's nothing imminent about it. It defeats the purpose of what they're doing now. Axl feels like it's disrespectful to his new band. But we talked about past members of the band throughout the interview. Axl brought up some of the old guys before we even did.

    So he's really excited about this new lineup?

    Yeah. Axl emphasized that this current tour, which goes until the end of December in America, is extremely important to him and the new band. It's hugely important for fans to see him after all the BS and misconceptions. It's really important for fans to see him having fun and championing this band. Yes, this band is very important to him. He pointed out that every member of the band does a solo. He said, "If this was just the Axl Rose show, and I wasn't worried about promoting a band, then I wouldn't be giving these three different guitar players the spotlight." He said, "It's really important to me that people see this as a band."

    Do you think this lineup will release new albums and tour more often?

    I think so. Axl did say that he wants Guns to be more active. He feels good about the team around him. He has a new manager. Axl's bandmembers told us that he has a ton of songs that they've all heard. It's just a matter of honing in and getting into the studio to recorded and then release them.

    duff-mckagan.jpg

    Axl said that original GN'R bassist Duff McKagan's band Loaded will be opening select dates on this tour.

    Yep. When I asked Axl about Duff playing with GN'R in England, he volunteered that information. However, I don't think there's any definite plan. Axl mentioned it in passing. But since then I've heard from a number of people doubting it, saying, "Well, that's a nice idea." To my knowledge there's nothing locked in yet.

    Axl and his former manager, Irving Azoff, have been suing and counter-suing each other. Was that discussed?

    We didn't get into the business and lawsuit stuff too much. But without citing specific names, Axl mentioned that various managers, agents, and promoters over the years have been far more responsible for what's gone down than he has. Axl is probably getting sued or countersued every day. It's almost hard to keep track.

    Guns N' Roses are nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Did you ask about that? Who from the original lineup would attend the ceremony to accept the award?

    Axl said that he doesn't really follow that stuff. He said it's an honor to be nominated, but he doesn't know how it's going to play out. Axl's a huge fan of Elton John and it was an honor for him to induct Elton a few years back. So it seems that Axl thinks that anything that's good by Elton is good by him. But it seemed too premature to discuss. First GN'R have to see if they get in. Then they'll see how it plays out. I've talked to Slash about it, too, actually. Slash and I are friends, and Slash basically feels that if they get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, then they'll see who shows up and who doesn't. Whoever shows up will stand onstage. Slash remembered the legendary debacle with Van Halen. They had two guys who weren't even in Van Halen — Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar — up onstage accepting the award! So I know Slash wants to avoid anything awkward like that.

    Do you think the Slash Vs. Axl Rose beef is repairable?

    I do. I saw Slash a couple days ago in Los Angeles, where I was giving an award for Ronnie James Dio's cancer foundation, and we talked a little bit. He knew that I'd just interviewed Axl, and he asked about Axl and how he was. I said that Axl mentioned him in the interview, and that it wasn't anything negative. Slash said, "Yeah, we've actually been pretty cool lately." Slash is a pretty easy-going guy, and he'll ride with the tide. But it's hard to get a read on it. But outside of Slash, Axl is cool with every other original member of Guns. Izzy [stradlin] comes out and plays with Axl and the band every once in a while. Duff just played with him. There are no issues with either of the two drummers. If there's a rub with the Rock Hall induction, it would only be about Slash. In talking to both Slash and Axl, though, they're both very committed to their careers right now. Axl is amped about this new GNR lineup, and I just heard Slash's next record, which is coming out next year. It's amazing. The media dwells on their relationship more than the guys themselves do.
