feconroses Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I was wondering if we - as a forum - can organize an interview with Axl Rose. Everyone could post a question and then we decide which 10 questions should be asked through a poll. I know that Eric and other mods are in touch with the GNR camp, so we could easily know if we can count with Axl himself.Can we do this? Good or bad idea?

Skulls Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yeah but that section is uselessIt's only useless because Axl Rose & Co. can't follow through on ANYTHING. This would just be another chance for them to disappoint us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick85 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Axl knows the fans are dying to know the status of the next album as well as future touring plans. If he cared, even a little, he'd issue a short statement explaining plans for both.He obviously doesn't care enough to explain what's going on with either at this point.

Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 When Dexter did engage with the fans in late 2008 certain users insulted him (Beta remarks etc.) and questioned if the responses were even Axl at all. I'd imagine if he was mailed a set of questions and co-operated there'd be the usual conspiracies of “Oh Del wrote that fo sho!”. So whilst Axl engaging with us again would be genuinely appreciated by a lot of people the reality is camp GN'R may not perceive such an initiative be worth it considering all the bullshit that will inevitably occur during and after.

If there was one an in person interview would be much better imo. Then again someone will rip it apart anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I thought people were pretty cool towards Axl during the online chats. Axl called Spuffy a cunt, but after that things seemed to go smoothly. It would be nice to have an interview with Axl when CD II drops. One where all the questions focus on the album and not on the old band and others that Axl don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wicked Hand Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Axl had a kick ass last tour. He should come on here to keep the positive vibes going with his fans and let them know hes still playin ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK SUBS Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Can we do this?Seeing as though the last contact Eric had with GNR was from Axl's lawyers, I'm guessing, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) I think Double G and myself would be the most qualified to conduct such an interview as a team. If we are all in agreement, let us decree this is the case, and if Axl says yes, Double G and I will collaborate on our questions.Thanks,/SOBLOL you funny man Can we do this?Seeing as though the last contact Eric had with GNR was from Axl's lawyers, I'm guessing, no?never say never...edit: to clarify I meant ya never know..

Sick the lawyers on their biggest fansite. Smashing PR work as always. Although, at the very least, sending a good natured update to all the fansite would definitely help to repair the fractured relationship they currently have with the fansbase.

Nick85 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've said it before, I'm convinced that Axl looks at us as just another obstacle that he must overcome. It seems as though the only time he 'reaches out' to us lately is when he's pissed off about what the media's been saying about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlskAmpf Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Lol UK, great last couple o' posts. I love coming here, then there's the crazy threads. The OP here ain't so crazy really, honest enough q, the answer is ya don't organize it. He came here, and all over, those two days. That was our interview! He left as mysteriously as he came. Might happen again, we all hope, who can say. Where this thread got crazy is since the OP. That section sucks, no follow through, things UK commented on, etc. That whole ''section'' was made only to have a place to put the aftermath of q's that filled the main pages after Axl's time here that fine December, that's it. Not Axl's concept as a place for him to chat with us, just sheer necessary organization. He didn't follow through on it as it wasn't his creation to follow through on. The band was to do a vid once and took q's, that's a different story, and yes one that didn't follow through. Probably a band idea that was initially approved, then later nixed, but just a guess based on band comments.
