  1. why are you here if you don't like or support the current band?

    Cheap and weak attempt at deflecting what I said. :lol:

    Personal questions must be made using the PM system and do not try to derail this thread with said questions.

    You "have fun" by slating GNR on a message forum ?

    You keep asking personal questions. Do you know how to read? I said: Personal questions must be made using the PM system and do not try to derail this thread with said questions.

    Is English your first language?

    Awful user

  2. 'November Rain' is a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited love. 'Estranged' is acknowledging it, and being there and having to figure out what the fuck to do. It's like being catapulted out into the universe and having no choice about it and having to figure out what the fuck are you gonna do, because the things you wanted and worked for just cannot happen and there's nothing you can fucking do about it.

    I listen to this every once in a while... kinda helps...

    LRI: Let me be a dick and start with something negative. I’m reading on some of the metal message boards and checking out some of the fan complaints. Number one on a lot of people’s lists is the length of the seasons and the wait in between. Is that VH1′s design or just an innovative way to keep us waiting?

    Don: I actually agree with all those people but unfortunately we work for a fairly small channel. I know we kind of pulled an “Axl Rose” and kept everyone waiting for this series of new shows but sometimes you just have to wait for the network to crack open the piggy bank, see how much change is in there and when there’s enough we get to do a set of shows. This time around it’s nice because we have a new set, new graphics and a lot of new segments and so it’s not just a money thing this time around we sort of took our time creatively. We took a look at the show and decided it needed a little kick in the pants and we wanted to bring people something a little different and some new stuff for the show.

    LRI: I’m glad you brought up Axl. I think that episode, the Yngwie one and the Vince Neil on location one were some of the best, most revealing episodes ever on the show. The Axl one made a bit of a splash but I think more people need to check out the Vince one too. Were those fun shows, watching guys like that open up and be unfiltered?

    Don: I love the shows with guests who are well known for always speaking their minds, guys like Phil Anselmo and Dave Mustaine, guys like Axl, who are always gonna speak their mind. Some of those guys are divisive guys in the world of metal, fans are either gonna love them or hate them, but at the end of the day you’re always gonna wanna watch. You know they’re gonna be interesting, unfiltered, uncensored and have some things to say and certainly Vince is one of those guys too! He basically wrote in his book “”Hey, I’m a hired gun in Motley Crue and if they wanna hire me to do a tour they have to call me and hire me and if they don’t then they don’t go out cause they can’t do it without me”. I like Vince’s honesty and the interview he gave us, guys like that really make the best guests.

    LRI: As far as interviews go, it’s pretty hard to top the reclusive Axl Rose….and then to hear some of the things you got him to explain….

    Don: Well, yeah….he kind of explained the whole lateness thing too and mentioned how he worked at a grocery store right by his house and could never make it on time for that either (laughs). You know, whether the fans wanna accept that as an excuse for them having to stay up til 4 in the morning on a weeknight to go see Guns N’ Roses is up to them but….you know that interview was sort of a different animal altogether. The whole context of what you saw there is that WE waited until about 5 in the morning to interview him and we were a little bleary eyed but I think all in all, for his first interview in 20 years and what we were up against I thought it was a great part 1. Hopefully, we’ll be doing a part 2 again with him and maybe have him on the set the next time. It really does seem like he loves this version of the band so…I think he’s really into promoting it because of that.

    LRI: Bumblefoot is such a great guy in general, he would be awesome to have on too, maybe with Axl??

    Don: Yeah. That’s the thing too, I think that the more the public accepts and the more popular this lineup gets, the more Axl is comfortable with doing this stuff. I mean, he was great on Jimmy Kimmel, he was joking around and having fun so I think in some crazy way this is a good time for Axl because he’s like “I’m doin this without Slash, I’m doin this with my guys”. I’m not sure why, when you’re 50, that matters but nevertheless it was a great part of musical history to actually talk to him after so many years of him avoiding the press.

    Hope it happens :)

  4. The 02 show was very poor editing, poorly shot, and poor mixing and was never approved by GNR camp before it aired. It was not VH1's fault or Axl's fault. It was some crazy producer who decided to take matter in his own hands

    and told VH1 the show was approved, when it wasn't . The same people who announced the O2 show was being released in theaters, then suddenly was cancelled.. Axl had nothing to do with that as well.
